Journey to Happy Ending novel Chapter 42

Edward had been waiting for a long time, leaning against the car door. He sighed in relief when he saw a man, dressed like an officer, coming out, because he was not the man that Edward had seen in the photo.

The moment Mark Du reached the gate, he noticed Edward, because of the dazzling car Edward was standing next to. Mark Du looked him up and down and noticed that this man had a fair skin and an angular face with black eyes, bushy eyebrows, high nose and beautiful lips, which showed grace and nobility. 'Oh! No wonder he is so arrogant! He turns out to be qualified to behave like this. His temperament does overwhelm everyone around, let alone the fact that he drove this irrationally expensive car. But why do I feel like I have met him before?' Mark thought.

"Hello, I am Edward Mu." Edward introduced himself first, looking at Mark Du's dull expression.

"Well. Hello, Mr. Mu! I'm the accompanying officer for Colonel Daisy. you can call me Mark. Could you show me your credentials before I can let you in?" Mark Du came to himself and asked professionally. Edward was prepared. He handed over all the required documents, including the marriage licence that he had picked up in the spur of the moment.

Mark Du looked them over and was shocked by his identity. 'This man is the renowned CEO of FX International Group in S City! No wonder he seems familiar.' Mark had always seen the man's photographs in the newspapers at the Colonel's home. He didn't remember him distinctly because he seldom paid much attention to the finance section. The credentials reminded him of who Edward was.

'No wonder the Colonel took Justin to that tall commercial building that day. It turns out to be FX International Group. I thought the Colonel entrusted Justin to her friend who worked there. I finally understand why Colonel never tell us who her husband is. It turns out to be the CEO of FX International Group with a very eminent status.' Mark was thinking to himself.

He returned the credentials to Edward, whispered to the soldiers on duty, and took Edward inside the building. Luke didn't follow them and stayed in the car because the military base was safe and he didn't need to worry about Edward's security.

"Mr. Edward, here we are. Do you need me to come along with you?" Mark asked. Mark felt no need to go along since Edward was the Colonel's husband. He still asked out of politeness.

"Oh, I will go by myself, thank you." Edward thanked Mark Du and felt sorry for troubling him at such a late hour in the night.

"You are welcome. I will take you leave now." Mark turned around to leave, but he turned back suddenly as if he had remembered something important.

"Oh! The Colonel has seven days off, beginning tomorrow, she is not required to be in the military campus during this time and free to spend her time as and where she pleases." Mark Du thought that he needed to say it suspecting Edward was expecting to take the Colonel with him, seeing Edward's luxury Maybach still parked at the gateway. 'Edward might not sleep here, ' Mark Du thought to himself.
