Daisy feebly leaned against a tree along the path and thought to herself, "Am I crazy? Why am I being so emotional?" She didn't know how to face Edward later. She couldn't wait to run away, but she was afraid that Edward would get angry if he didn't see her here. She had felt his rage by the way he yelled at her on the phone moments ago.
Daisy bit her lips and asked herself, "Since when did I become a stereotypical sentimental woman? From the success of FX International Group, I should have known that he's not as benign as it appears. Why did I make his repressed viciousness come out?"
Edward sped off along the way. Luckily, it wasn't the rush hour, so he didn't meet an accident. But when he got out of the downtown area, he began to slow down, to avoid any mishaps. Luke was driving behind him insanely to follow his car.
Blue eyes, pointed nose, soft lips, and a chiseled jawline, his handsome face was still attractive even when he was angry. Edward moved his lips coldly and began to feel a sting in his heart. 'Was she blaming me?' He thought to himself. 'She probably despises me. Does she think I am lewd because I have slept with countless women?
She doesn't know that I may seem like a womanizer, but I have only slept with a few of those women. The rest of the women were just a cover for me to confuse people into believing that I'm a promiscuous playboy.'
The truth of the matter was, he did all of that to attract his parents' attention. Even though they were traveling around the world, Edward knew that his parents were keeping an eye on him. He deliberately led a dissolute life to attract their concern. But in the end, it was all in vain because it proved to be meaningless for them.
Edward never doubted the power of true love; his parents were living proof of eternal love. But he had never found anyone who could pull his heartstrings before, so naturally, love was out of the question. However, one fine morning a few months ago, Daisy suddenly showed up, without any greetings, explanations or even eye contact, she left Justin to him and walked away. She was arrogant and cold like the wintersweet. Edward was attracted to her personality, and right at that moment, something in his heart changed.
Gradually he walked towards her, and he lost his heart with every step. He made every effort to keep Daisy in his life; he even gave up his dissolute life. Soon his love turned boisterous, and he landed in her love trap. But he didn't plan to run away. Instead, he was willing to be imprisoned by her love. However, he felt Daisy didn't appreciate all that he had done for her.
He thought to himself: "Daisy, I thought you understand me well and you feel the pain hidden inside me. But it seems that you don't understand me at all. You've made me doubt your love for me. I thought you loved me unconditionally and accepted all my weaknesses and strengths, but perhaps you are like all the other women, who just loves me for my appearance and fortune."
'No. I shouldn't think about Daisy this way. I shouldn't devalue her love for me. Who else can I trust but her?' Edward thought. 'If I am not moved by all the pain and bitterness you have faced through the years, then I don't deserve your love. Your words really hurt me, but as long as you stay with me, I can ignore it.'
A screech of breaks broke the quietness of the afternoon garden; it also stirred Daisy from her reverie. She looked at the familiar car and thought: 'How could he get here so fast? Even if he drove at full speed, he couldn't reach here in less than an hour. How fast did he drive to arrive here in half an hour? He could have met an accident.' Daisy's face grew pale by this thought.
Edward was quietly sitting in the car while looking at his graceful wife who had a cold look on her face. He frowned and began to study her carefully through the thick windshield. He took a deep breath when he discovered that Daisy was safe and sound. He didn't move but continued to stare at her cold but beautiful face with his blue eyes. He didn't move because he had run out his energy in driving and he couldn't feel his legs.
