"Do you think I want to get myself hurt? I got scratched today when training the soldiers," Daisy said it as if it was nothing. She didn't even tell him that she almost fell down a cliff. The crisis was averted and she was fine now. She didn't want him to be worried.
"What kind of training it was? Why on earth was it so dangerous?" Edward looked sad at the sight of her injury. He didn't have the mood to argue with her anymore.
"It's a military secret. I can't tell you." Daisy raised her eyes as if saying something very mysterious. For her, all the training programs of the special troops were very dangerous. She wouldn't choose to tell this to him, of course.
"Huh! Do you fear that I am a spy and will let the secret out?" Edward clenched his teeth and looked at her smug face. It turned out that she had qualms about telling him the details of their military programs. Honestly, he wouldn't even care about the troops' activity if it wasn't for her. He was never an idle man. There was a lot of work in the company that troubled him. How could he have extra time to care about any other things?
"Huh! Do you even think that you're qualified to be a spy? You will be an insult to that profession." Daisy said while taking the medicine back into the kit. Obviously, there was a tinge of contempt in her tone. She narrowed her eyes and glanced at him disdainfully. She took pleasure in beating Edward in the verbal argument. Otherwise, Edward would always consider himself a world above her and others.
"You're right. Such a demanding work is not suitable for me. Plus, I'm counting on you to feed and provide for me." It was only the irritation that made Edward blame Daisy. Edward was such a person, he could easily lose his temper, but also could let it go quickly. Nonetheless, he was really easy to please. Daisy was quite sure about that trait in his character. Thus, she never worried that he would take offense for a long time.
"It's not impossible. I'll agree to provide for you if you agree to be trained by me." Daisy teased and looked at him with a cunning smile.
"Forget it. I'd rather provide for you. I don't want to make myself miserable." Edward touched his nose sulkily. He was not even her soldier but was often kicked by her as if he was her training sandbag. How would he end up if he really was her soldier? He might probably die a miserable death. Plus, he would certainly not be so stupid to agree to her every requirement.
