Journey to Happy Ending novel Chapter 826

"You're stressed out. I can tell. It's got to be exhausting to be caught between your principles and your family," Edward said with a concerned look. If possible, he really wanted to shoulder her burden. But he knew in his heart that she had to convince herself to give up her grudge. It was the only way out. No matter how much they were worried about her, there was very little they could do to help.

"Yes, but only sometimes. I'm fine. I have you and Justin around to comfort me, right?" Daisy finally allowed herself a smile. Although it was a faint one, it came as a relief for Edward. Smiling back, he walked up to her and took her into his arms with great affection. He swore to himself that whenever she felt tired, he would be the harbor of her soul, forever.

"Absolutely. We'll always be there for you. So just take it easy and don't let this thing ruin your life, okay?" said Edward, kissing her gently on the head. In his eyes, she wasn't always the strong and tenacious colonel. And in many cases, she was only a fragile woman who needed his protection.

"You know what, Edward, I'm afraid that I have grown addicted to your tenderness, and my dependency on you is ever increasing. Strange, because for others, the more they get to know their lovers, the less passionate they would be in a relationship. But for me, it is totally the other way around. Tell me, have you ever used any love potion on me? Or else I can't think of other explanations for my obsession for you."

Looking up at him, Daisy brought her face closer to his. Their faces were so close that she could taste his sexy thin lips with a slight move of her rosy ones. It was all she wanted in the world.

"So, I have something to ask you. Did you cast a spell on me? Are you a witch? Why are you the only woman I can see? Why did all the other women become nothing to me the moment I laid eyes on you?" Before Daisy could say a word, he pressed his lips to hers. The softness he felt made him want more. But he didn't go deeper. Instead, he paused to affectionately meet her gaze, feeling her warm breath on his face.

"Well, maybe we both bewitched each other. That's why neither of us can resist the other for long." Her own words gave her goose bumps before she finished the sentence. They seldom talked to each other in such a sappy and explicit way. Among those who knew them, no one could ever imagine Daisy and Edward saying those words.

"Woman, seems that you are already infatuated with me," said Edward with his mouth curled into a wicked smile. With his lips still touching hers, he felt that he was tasting a mouthful of mellow wine when talking to her.

"Yes, very much. And I bet you can feel it," Daisy replied softly. Rarely did she get so emotional like this. Perhaps it was because Leo's name had reminded her of her bitter past, and made her a bit sentimental. She now desperately needed his comfort and love.

"Of course I do. Can't you see? My body has given me away," whispered Edward, who still smiled slyly. He started to caress her lips and inhale her aroma.

"Horndog!" Giving him a gentle punch in the chest, Daisy leaned back and glared at him.'I knew it!' she thought to herself. She should never be this honest about her love for him. It would only serve as an invitation for him to show his true colors. Just like now.

"Yes, I am. And you love this horndog a lot, don't you?" flirted Edward, acting like an incorrigible imp. He winked at her, trying to seduce her. In the face of this woman, he no longer was that proud and ruthless man. No one in the city would recognize this Edward.
