"I'll definitely not give up. Anyway, I should thank you for coming here." Leo had always been respecting Edward. Although Edward was his son-in-law, he just couldn't be impolite to him.
"You're welcome. Let me give you a piece of advice. Don't jump the gun. Otherwise, your behaviors might backfire." Edward would never speak to him that way if he weren't Daisy's father. He was still annoyed about what happened before. However, he had to swallow his anger as Daisy's other half.
"Alright. I'll be careful. Thank you. Mr. Mu." The old man had sensed the impatience in Edward's voice. He knew he had made some mistakes in the past which pissed Edward off. However, the consequences from his actions were inevitable, thus, he didn't dare show a bit of disrespect.
"Then, have a good day. Goodbye." One short nod and Edward walked away in a haste without looking back. He had promised to pick up Justin from school though he had no idea what troubles his son had made today.
Everybody's attention was drawn by a majestic Rolls Royce as soon as it pulled over outside the school gate. It seemed like the world had stopped for them when an immeasurably handsome man suddenly moved out of the car and leaned against the hood. Enchantment washed over women as the men who also saw the view instantly turned jealous. How on earth could a man have such a beautiful face and wealth!
Edward's wry smile made him more charming and irresistible as he stood there. He had got lots of fans that included both old ladies and girls. All of them felt drawn to him. Nevertheless, Edward just ignored them and remained to stare at the school gate until he saw his son jumping giddily out of the school, towards him. That was the only time when he comfortably smiled.
"Daddy, Daddy, look!" shouted Justin while rushing to his father. He seemed rather elated.
"Look at what?" asked Edward curiously. He bent over and lifted his son up as he wondered about what Justin wanted him to look at.
"The girl who just walked out of the school with me. Isn't she beautiful?" Justin whispered to his father's ear then pointed out to a group of girls.
"Which one?" Edward saw so many girls outside the school gate and had no idea which one Justin was referring to.
"The girl in plaits hair and has two dimples. The one in a princess dress. She's too beautiful to be ignored easily!" said Justin anxiously. He was afraid that his daddy might not see her.
"Yes. I see her. What's wrong with her?" Edward couldn't help his lips from twitching soon as he spotted the young girl. Now he knew why his son desperately asked him to come to his school and pick him up.
"Daddy, tell me, isn't she pretty and beautiful?" Justin's cheeks were slightly flushed as he timidly asked.
"Yeah. She's pretty and beautiful. So what?" Edward played innocent and opened the car door. He put Justin in the back seat, shot the girl another glance, then got on his car.
"Daddy, don't be a fool. You knew what I meant," said Justin with a pout. He didn't believe that his daddy, who was always flirting with girls, would be such a dumb ass as to misunderstand him.
"Haha... Are you telling me that you've fallen in love with her?" Edward couldn't help but laugh and tease his son more upon seeing how embarrassed Justin was.
