Journey to Happy Ending novel Chapter 48

Daisy shot Edward a confused look. Why did he suddenly need to leave?

"Just stay here. Make yourself at home. I'll take you out to dinner tonight." Edward whispered in her ear. His warm breath made her stiffen.

"But I want to take Justin back to the base. I don't want to impose." Daisy lowered her lead and said in a low voice.

Edward was a bit taken aback. His demeanor turned cold and mysterious.

"You want to leave me that much? After all I have done for you?" His lips were sexy, but his words were evil. Daisy trembled in fear.

"That's what you want, isn't it? You have your life and I have mine. Isn't that what you told me?" Daisy said angrily. That was not what she thought or meant. But she couldn't let him know what he meant to her. She didn't want to see his disdainful look.

"But you are here now. You're in my life. Now what? You want to back down? Or are you just playing hard-to-get?" Edward roared. He was too full of rage to understand how cruel he was being.

His hurtful remarks turned Daisy's face pale. She bit her lips tightly. She never thought that Edward still regarded her as a calculating bitch. She fumbled for words, but in the end, she said nothing. What could she say anyway? He really believed what he was saying. It was partially her fault anyway, for creating that cold identity. There was no explaining it away.

When he saw Daisy's ashen face, Edward realized how cruel his words were. But he was too proud to take back his words. Full of regret, he combed his hair and went upstairs.

Justin worried. He didn't know why the sweet scene suddenly turned hateful and violent.

Daisy took a few deep breaths and calmed down. She forced a smile and turned to look at Justin.

"Justin, have you finished your breakfast? If you are done, then pack your stuff, we're heading to the base." Only the military base was her home, wasn't it? She was just a visitor here.

"Mom, do we really need to go?" Justin was upset, but he respected Daisy's decision. He knew that mom was the only one he could rely on.

"Okay. You don't want to go back?" Daisy was at a loss. What did she have if Justin didn't come back with her?

"No, mom. I will always go with you. I will never leave you alone." He didn't know what Daisy and Edward were arguing about, but he would always protect his mother.
