"So... you think that I still have a chance with her?" To be honest, Rain didn't even want to think about seeing Annie again. Part of him always believed that they would never meet again, and that he had already lost her for sure. So many years later, when he finally saw the woman who had been in his mind day and night walking past him in front of his eyes, holding hands with two young kids with a gentle smile on her face, his eyes popped out in disbelief. He froze in place, stared blankly at her, watching her disappear before his eyes without doing anything. He couldn't believe his own eyes, and he couldn't think straight. He just dumbly stood there. Before he knew it, she was gone. And right at that time, he finally realized who he saw just now and hurriedly started to look for her in vain. But unfortunately, she was nowhere to be found.
"Well, I mean, if you really want to see her, I believe that you two will definitely meet again. It all depends on you, you know? You just have to figure out what you really want." Edward poured himself a cup of tea. Ever since his father learnt how to make tea from Daisy, he spent every day studying how to do it perfectly. So wherever he was, there was always a tea set with him. He needed to figure out the secret.
"Well, I guess we will talk about it later. I just want to get my mind off it for now. And I wanted to ask earlier, where's Daisy? Does she still have to work on National Day?" Compared to Daisy, Rain thought that he was indeed luckier than her. Though he always liked to complain about his work, in fact, he was being treated the same way as his CEO. And more importantly, he had absolute control over his work schedule. At least, he didn't have to work overtime.
"Yeah. I guess today she's even busier than usual." Edward's brows lowered as he frowned. Maybe this was the disadvantage of having a colonel as his wife. He was constantly worried about her safety, especially when every other families were together, celebrating the lovely holiday and just enjoying being with one another.
"Oh. Shame that she can't join us. It seems that Daisy works really hard, but everyone else just sees her status instead of the hard work." Rain let out a sigh. He knew that as a woman, it was pretty difficult to achieve the status Daisy had today all by her own hand. To be honest, if he were Daisy, he probably couldn't do as well as her, and he was a man. So he really deeply admired and respected Daisy. She was a real role model, the real deal. He felt like a slacker next to what she achieved.
"Yeah, it's thanks to people like Daisy that we can all have a safe and sound holiday. Besides that, their families also have sacrificed the chance of being together with them on this special holiday. And I'm one of them." Edward found another chance to mock Rain. But deep in his head, all he could think about was Daisy's beautiful figure. He really missed her. He wished that they could at least be together on the holiday.
"Pffft! Don't puff yourself up that much. To be honest, the bomb here is Daisy, not you. Stop flattering yourself, will you?" Rain snorted loudly. It seemed that Edward was really without shame.
"What are you talking about? You're so loud that I could hear you from outside." Daisy made her entrance in an olive green military uniform, looking refreshing and spirited. She didn't expect that it would be this lively at home. It seemed like a fun party.
"Ah, speak of the devil. We were just talking about you, Daisy." In Rain's eyes, it was Daisy in her military uniform that was the most beautiful he'd ever seen her. It was hotter than when she wore the prettiest dress at a party. Because the uniform showed her energy and capability. And his guilty pleasure was women in uniform.
"Oh? Were you speaking evil of me behind my back?" Daisy said, walking towards them. When she walked past Jonathan she greeted him in a small voice, simply saying "Dad." And Jonathan, being his usual cold self, just nodded towards her and said, "You're back."
