"I don't care if you believe it or not. I'm the one who benefits the most from the knowledge anyway. There is no need to argue with you over this." Edward gave a soft smile and tucked Daisy's windblown hair behind her ear. Although he had done this countless times before, the action always moved Daisy every time.
"Can you tell me what makes you so sure that the little girl was me?" Daisy couldn't help becoming curious about it. Edward never mentioned the matter before. Even when they went to K City a while back, he didn't hint anything about this.
"I found a photo album in Justin's backpack. It was filled with photos of your childhood. The little girl in the photos is just as beautiful as the image I have kept in my memory for many years." Edward didn't hide the emotions he had kept hidden in his heart for so long. The girl from his memory turned out to be Daisy. The fact excited him to no end.
"You can't come to the conclusion that I'm that girl just from a few old photos." Daisy confirmed Edward's words step by step. She knew very well that the higher she raised her hopes, the more disappointed she would be. She didn't dare to get too excited before she was absolutely certain.
"And the pet name Jasmine. That should be enough to dispel your doubts." Edward frowned. Daisy was very confident in everything else. But why was she always so suspicious when it came to him? In his opinion, this wasn't a good thing.
"So you really did say 'Jasmine' that day. I thought I had misheard you." Daisy stopped questioning Edward's certainty. Her pursuit in the past hadn't been in vain. It turned out that Edward fell in love with her a long time ago as well.
"Yeah. I knew that you weren't smart enough, but I didn't expect that I could fool you so easily. You're as innocent and pure as a child in front of me. I like it." Edward ignored Justin's presence and gathered Daisy emotionally into his arms. Justin displayed a large smile on his face without making a sound. He basked in the happy moment that his parents shared in front of him.
The presentation of the new weapons would proceed as scheduled. Since Kevin was training overseas, Daisy was the best coordinator for the major event. She got so busy that she hardly had time to go back home.
"Colonel Ouyang, I've brought the data you want." After getting demoted, Hank Han gained insight on a lot of things and behaved himself.
"Thank you, Lieutenant Colonel Han." Daisy wasn't the kind of person to bear a grudge. She had forgiven what Hank did to her in the past. Since Hank was determined to mend his ways, she wouldn't dredge up the past again.
"Don't call me Lieutenant Colonel Han. I was demoted a long time ago. I'm just a junior officer now." Hank touched his head in embarrassment. He was no longer insidious and cunning. Now, he looked modest and gentle.
"Work hard. I believe that you'll get promoted to lieutenant colonel again in the near future." There was a sincere expression on Daisy's face. Hank had become a lieutenant colonel with his own painstaking efforts. He didn't rely on any external force. As long as he corrected his thoughts, he would definitely rise up the ranks soon.
"Thank you. I'll take my leave now." Hank felt a lot lighter after he stopped unrealistically comparing himself with Daisy. He didn't know what annoyed him before. Was it because he wasn't convinced that a woman could be better than him? Maybe there were other reasons. The puzzle niggled in his mind. Either way, he had chosen to turn over a new leaf. He believed that a bright future was in store for him.
"Okay. Go for it." Daisy was gratified. She no longer felt that she owed Hank's kind mother a huge debt. To repay his mother, she didn't fight back no matter how much he provoked her in the past. Since he had decided to start anew, they could work together on good terms moving forward.
