Daisy looked at Edward with surprise, because she really didn't know why. Yes, she was the mother of a five-year-old, but she was still pretty naive about sex. Unlike Edward.
"What are you waiting for? Let's go!" Edward took her hand lightly. 'She is so lovely!' He thought.
"Well, you go down first! You must be hungry. I'll go and freshen up." Her face was still burning.
"Ok, Don't be too long!" Edward knew that she needed to switch gears emotionally, so he gave her room to be alone.
"Ok." Daisy glanced at him shyly.
"Hey Justin!" said Edward. "Let's go down to see what Mrs. Wu has prepared for you." Justin was a typical foodie. Sometimes Edward got embarrassed to see how much he ate.
Daisy looked at herself in the mirror. Her little face had turned red, her clear eyes were full of happiness. Her lips were still tingling from Edward's kiss.
She splashed cold water on her face until she felt calm. Then she toweled off.
She walked out of the bathroom, when her ringtone, a military jingle, sounded loud and clear.
Checking the caller ID, she saw it was Mark Du. Daisy frowned and pressed the answer button.
"This is Daisy Ouyang." Her tone was dignified as usual.
"It's Mark. Your leave's been canceled, colonel. They have a special mission for you. The commander wants you back immediately." Mark said urgently.
"What happened?" Daisy Ouyang asked while walking down the stairs. Her pace was anxious.
"I don't have details, but I don't think it's a good thing." Mark said. 'Too bad! I know she was looking forward to her vacation.' Mark Du thought.
"I understand. I'll be there." Daisy said, looking at her dress. Then she sighed in chagrin. She had to go back in the dress she was in. She forgot to pack her uniform.
"I'll find out what's going on. Don't worry. Take care." Mark Du gently comforted her.
"Ok. I'll set out now." Daisy hung up. Edward saw her rush downstairs and went to talk to her.
"What's the matter?" Edward asked.
"Oh, There is an emergency. I have to get back immediately. Do you have a spare car?" Her car wasn't here because Edward drove her home last night.
"I'll give you a ride. I'm worried about you." Edward looked at her worried face with some concern.
"No, I can drive myself. Don't worry, I'm a good driver." It was a required skill when she was in military school, so her level was comparable to that of a race car driver.
"Ok, Luke will prepare the car for you." Edward said and dialed Luke.
