"Daisy, I thought you forget about us. Why didn't you come to visit us for all these years?" Sherry controlled her tears of happiness. She had been quite emotional and excited from the moment she saw Daisy walking in with Edward. There was a Chinese saying "A girl changes fast in physical appearance from childhood to adulthood" and Daisy was a living example of it. After all these years, Daisy had grown into an elegant and gorgeous woman. That made Sherry relieved as well as nostalgic.
"I see, you already know each other." Cynthia had planned to introduce them to each other. But before she did, Daisy and Sherry had already hugged each other.
"Yes, we know each other well. When they got married, we were abroad. That's why we couldn't attend their wedding ceremony. No wonder I didn't know that Daisy is your daughter-in-law. She is like a daughter to me." As Sherry examined Daisy, she became more content.
"Haha. Destiny is mysterious. It has closely connected our families." Cynthia was overwhelmed with joy to see them catching up. After all, it was easier to get along with someone you already knew than a total stranger.
Jonathan always wore a poker face. As much as he appreciated Daisy, he didn't reveal his admiration on his face. He just sat there quietly without making any comments. Those who knew him also knew his temper quite well, so they were used to it. But Daisy felt a bit awkward in front of him, possibly because of her outfit. She felt more comfortable around him in her military uniform.
Similar to Daisy's embarrassment, Kevin was also like a cat on hot bricks. He noticed everything that was going on around Leena from where he sat. He knew Rain who was seated beside Leena. But who was the other gentleman next to her? Kevin could tell from their intimacy that they must know each other quite well.
Kevin frowned helplessly. He knew that there was no love between him and Leena, but she was his wife anyway. So he couldn't be fine with another man lingering around her. However, with his superior officers sitting beside him, he couldn't just walk away. So he sat still, but he was constantly looking in Leena's direction until he saw her smiling and falling into the man's arms. Finally, he lost his poise. After giving an excuse to the army commander, he walked to Leena, his figure tall and bulky.
"Honey, what you are talking about? You all seem to be enjoying." Kevin thought that he was hiding his feelings quite well, yet his concern surfaced when he saw the man caressing Leena's nose.
"Huh. Kevin, are you free now?" When Kevin abruptly said "Honey," Leena jerked out of Tom's arms. When she jumped up, she accidentally hit Tom's chin, making him say "ouch." 'What the hell. What crime have I done? Why is my face fated to go through so much pain? At first, it was the arrogant Edward, now the tiny Leena. Is this the outcome of a jinx? Why's everyone aiming at my pretty face?' Tom complained privately.
"I'm so sorry. Tom, I'm really sorry. I didn't do it on purpose." After seeing what she had done, Leena began stroking Tom's chin. Her care for Tom made Kevin's heart ache. Though slight, Kevin still felt the sting. But soon he marked this abnormality as a just sign of aversion.
