Journey to Happy Ending novel Chapter 49

"Aren't you going to work?" Daisy cast him a confused glance. Wasn't he anxious to leave?

"Will you stay?" It's not that Edward didn't believe her, but after all, he was so cruel before.

"Don't worry! I promised, remember?" Daisy avoided his stare, and her pretty face turned red.

"OK, do what you want. But remember to come back, or I'll tear the base apart to find you." It was the way Edward was. Once he decided what he wanted, he would do everything in his power to make it happen. If he really fell in love with someone, he would love her with all his heart.

"You can go now! I'll go to see Justin." Daisy believed that he would keep his word. But she was not afraid of him. She was just tired of loving him for so many years. She did not want to avoid it again. Since he was willing to try and love her too, then how could she give up this chance?

"See me out." Edward hugged her from behind, and put his chin against her head. How could she say no?

Daisy just stood there, taking in the moment, hardly daring to believe that happiness had come so fast!

Turning around, she adjusted his tie carefully with her slender fingers. She trembled. She wanted to do this for him for so long, imagining her seeing him off to work. This was also some of the happiness she wanted.

"Let's go! I'll walk you out." Her voice was still icy, but she tried to sound as gentle as she could. She would not shirk her duties as a wife.

Luke had already prepared the car. Seeing Daisy, he was shocked, but he quickly pulled it together.

"Good morning, ma'am. I'm Luke, Edward's bodyguard. Nice to meet you." He was neither humble nor pushy, quite a man of character.

"Hi! Don't be so polite. You can call me Daisy." Calling her ma'am outside the military made her uncomfortable. His confidence set her at ease. He knew he was good. Edward wouldn't hire someone who wasn't.

"It's okay. He's like this. Let him be!" Edward squinted at Luke. He looked cool and calm every time. Nothing really seemed to change his expression.

Watching the car zoom off, Daisy headed back inside to see what Justin was up to.

"Mommy! Are we gonna stay?" She didn't have to be so tense anymore. She and Edward understood each other.

"Yes! We're staying. Happy now?" Daisy knelt down and gently squeezed his pink cheeks.
