"No. I'm really tired. I just want to sleep." For some reason, Daisy suddenly felt very afraid of hearing him talk about the girl who had always been in his heart. So she refused to listen to anything connected to her subconsciously. Because the most terrifying thing between lovers was comparison. And she had always been somewhat unsure of herself. So she was worried that she wouldn't be able to compete with the beautiful girl in his heart.
"You really don't want to know the story? It might be a very sweet love story!" Edward raised one of his eyebrows, trying to get her interested.
"Maybe some other time! When I really want to hear it." Upon hearing his words, Daisy's heart started beating a lot faster. She didn't dare to listen to his words anymore, so she just covered her ears to show that she really didn't want to hear it.
"Then okay! It's really late. Let's have a nice sleep. And tomorrow I will take you out and show you around town, to see the gorgeous scenery of this city." Edward reached out and touched her hair, feeling that it was almost dry. He stopped what he was doing, but still went on to get a hair drier and blowed her hair for a while. He never really liked men doing such things for women in general however after he met this little woman, he was completely smitten.
Seeing that he wasn't planning on talking, Daisy breathed a sigh of relief secretly. That was when she suddenly realized that even though they had been through death together, she still couldn't believe she was the only woman he wanted for life. With a slight stimulation, she would quickly arm herself and hide, to protect herself from getting hurt. Perhaps, it was because she had been hurt so many times that she was so reluctant to get herself hurt again.
The night was mostly silent. It wouldn't change for someone's sleeplessness, nor stay for someone's sorrow. The dawn still came as usual, and the sun still rose in the east, not waiting for anyone's appreciation.
Because Edward slept too late last night, he didn't wake up at daybreak and missed his beautiful wish to watch sunrise with Daisy. His eyes fluttered open until about noon. Rubbing the painful area between his eyebrows, a sudden realization woke him from his slumber. He didn't see Daisy around.
He quickly jumped up from the bed and went to the bathroom without even putting on his shoes. But the bathroom was empty and quiet, he couldn't find Daisy. He had a bad feeling about it. Edward was afraid that she was still bothered by what happened last night. So he hurriedly ran to Luke's room without changing his clothes.
"Mr. Mu, you are finally up." As soon as Luke saw Edward, he quickly put down the newspaper in his hands and stood up from the sofa.
