"Guys, there's no need to call Kevin. He needs to work overtime at the army base. I don't think he has time to come over," Daisy explained. A party was about to be held at the army base that evening and Daisy was supposed to take part in that occasion too. Considering her situation, the commander gave her a break so that she could join her family and share her joy.
"Then, let's just call Duke," Edward said as he looked at Daisy with eyes filled with affection and desire.
"Well, I'm going to the kitchen to help." Keenly aware of the way he looked at her, Daisy automatically blushed as her heartbeat doubled. She made an excuse to leave and suppressed the mini heart attacks his heated gaze gave her. It was given that they had been a couple for quite some time and even had a son already, nevertheless, Daisy was still too shy about displaying her affection for him in public. It was just really not her cup of tea.
"Daisy, you're worn out. Just get some rest." Cynthia tried to intercept but Daisy was in such a hurry and acted as if she didn't hear. It was so obvious that she was trying to get away from her husband and her moves just made Edward even more amused. He ended up suppressing a grin as he watched how beautifully awkward she was.
"Mom, let her go. She will be okay," said Edward to Cynthia. He knew Daisy like the back of his hand. She was a traditional and conservative woman. That was fine with Edward. He was not the type of man to stop his woman from doing anything she wanted just as long as she wouldn't get hurt.
"Come on, I just want her to take a rest. Pity! Daisy is far too honest. Why don't you teach her how to be more cunning?" A deep sigh came out of Cynthia's chest as she shook her head. She had decided to follow Daisy to the kitchen and help too. Well, she pretty much didn't know anything about cooking but to chat with Daisy as she cooked would somehow help kill time.
After Cynthia entered the kitchen, Edward then sat down on the sofa with a smile as he thought about what gift she would like for her promotion.
"Duke just got off the plane. He will come here directly." Rain informed Edward after he hung the phone up. What a pity! Only Leena was unable to join the party tonight.
"Got it! I have to go get something done." Edward answered as he stood up and made his way to the entrance.
"Where are you going?" Rain asked but Edward didn't even turn a cheek to answer and just continued walking.
"Bah! Rain, you've been working with Edward for a long time now. You should have known that he would have told you his whereabouts if he had been willing to tell you. You don't need to ask him." Tom sighed as he shook his head. As the saying goes, "A person who is in love can be very dumb." But with Tom's perception, he thought it was better to say that "A person who is disappointed in love can be equally dumb as the one in love."
"Come on, Edward is in a good mood today. Maybe he is willing to talk to me." Rain scratched his nose to cover up for the embarrassment. He realized that he had been acting like a fool recently.
"Idiot! Shame on you, Rain!" The doctor rolled his eyes on the man. He couldn't help but feel his pride rejoicing by the thought that he just won a dialogue war against the infamous Rain.
"Uncle Rain, shame on you! You just won't learn your lesson, huh? Why can't you just learn to stay away from my dad?" Justin taunted with a sigh. 'What a young and handsome man! How come you always get the cheese when my dad is involved? You are so pathetic, Uncle Rain, ' thought Justin.
