Journey to Happy Ending novel Chapter 825

"Don't worry. Just take it from me." Cynthia said with a kindly smile. She treated Daisy like her own daughter, so if the couple ever had a quarrel, she would not take sides with either of them. They had to work it out themselves. In a battle between siblings, you don't favor one over the other. That didn't mean she couldn't give pointers.

"Are you sure that it's the right thing to encourage your daughter-in-law to act like this?" Suddenly, Jonathan's voice came from behind them. They both turned and saw him standing not far away, fixing them with a stern look. Sometimes he felt that he just couldn't take Cynthia too seriously. She was the love of his life, but he now became increasingly and helplessly certain that this woman took pleasure in stirring up trouble.

"If you have a problem with that, you can teach your son to fight back. I'm extremely OK with that," Cynthia replied, giving him a sly smile and looking him in the eye provocatively. She had no fear of this ruthless man who turned up out of nowhere. In fact, he had learned to adopt a relatively mild manner after all this time, but only in front of his family. To everyone else, he was still the high and mighty Jonathan.

"No offence, but unlike you two, I've got more important things to attend to," Jonathan said coldly. He glanced at both of them before directing a meaningful look at Cynthia. Then a sneer of evil passed fleetingly across his face. How bold she was to challenge him, he thought to himself. Fine, she would have to bear the consequences soon enough. He knew just how to punish her.

"I think he's mad at us," Daisy whispered. Being caught red-handed when they were plotting against his son was embarrassing enough for Daisy. And now she grew absolutely ashamed of herself, taking his sarcastic words to heart. She was afraid that he might think of her as a scheming woman. Feeling quite uneasy, she decided to talk to Cynthia about the situation hastily once Jonathan was out of earshot.

"He would not get angry that easily. But it seems that I am doomed no matter what," responded Cynthia. After Jonathan left, her arrogance melted into frustration. Because she caught sight of the slyness in his eyes, and knew clearly what would be waiting for her.

"How come? He adores you and has heaped so much love and affection on you. He wouldn't beat you, would he?" asked Daisy with a concerned look on her face. She had lived with them under the same roof for a while, and it was obvious to her that Jonathan was very much in love with Cynthia. It was impossible for him to hurt her in any possible way.

"Silly girl, you're married, you know how it is. There are a lot of ways he could punish me apart from spanking. You know what I mean?" answered Cynthia, winking at Daisy. She was pretty forthright and unabashed when she was talking about sex with her daughter-in-law. She wasn't bashful at all in explaining the problem to her. In contrast to Cynthia, Daisy blushed the moment she figured out what Cynthia meant. She hurriedly excused herself, and went to the kitchen to calm down. Edward would definitely laugh at her innocence if he ever found out about what happened just now, she thought to herself. That could mean the end of her dignity.

They enjoyed a wonderful dinner despite all the little accidents. But after that, Daisy was again occupied with all kinds of chores. Edward spent all night almost talking to her. But every time the words were on the tip of his tongue, he paused, not knowing how to begin. He did want to be frank about his meeting Leo today, thinking that honesty was the best policy.

"Out with it, Edward. I know you got something to tell me." Being a woman of keen perception, Daisy had figured out that Edward had been behaving strangely. She waited for him to explain himself, but decided to ask him directly after he kept hemming and hawing around almost the whole evening. She didn't have that much patience.
