Chapter 74 Hey, You Forgot to Breathe Again
"Honey, it's really you!" Edward quickly walked up to Daisy. Grinning from ear to ear, he stretched out his hand to scoop her into his arms and kissed her on the lips.
Anna could not hide her surprise at Edward using the endearment "honey". She silently closed the door and left the duo with a gentle smile playing on her lips.
"Oh…" Daisy lost her head and once again forgot to breathe. With her hands around Edward's neck, her whole body became soft and weak.
"Hey, you forgot to breathe again." Edward let go of her and propped his forehead against her forehead, smiling playfully.
"Are you still busy? Did I bother you?" asked Daisy shyly. Such an intimate touch made her nervous.
"No. What brings you here? Were you missing me?" Edward took a step back and lovingly looked at her blushing face. He found that this woman always blushed.
"Well, Justin wanted to eat out, so… eh, we came to pick you up from work." Daisy unconsciously stammered as she was still not used to such close proximity with Edward.
"Oh? What does he want to eat this time?" Edward knew his son well. Justin was interested in trying different kinds of food and wouldn't yield to the temptation of tasty food.
"Does he always ask to eat out?" Daisy frowned as she felt embarrassed for her son. Justin was not fussy about his food and ate whatever she cooked. And as they lived in the army, they rarely ate out.
"It's understandable. Children like new things, right?" Edward sat down on the sofa, and made Daisy sit in his lap, his hands resting on her waist. With his chin on her shoulder, his warm breath caressed her sexy neck.
Daisy tried to wriggle free from his arms. Although she had secretly loved him for many years, it was the first time that she was so close to him. She felt a little self-conscious.
"Don't move, otherwise I can't predict the consequences," Edward said in a hoarse and low voice, trying hard to restrain himself.
His playful warning successfully stopped Daisy. She knew what he meant, so she didn't dare to move any more.
As Daisy suddenly became stiff, Edward evilly smirked. His fascinating smile dazzled Daisy. She had dreamed of him so many times, but it had never been so shocking and pleasurably devastating.
Daisy fixed her eyes on Edward's. Seemingly, a thousand years had passed. She suddenly fell into the wheel of time, deeply fascinated by this fantastic moment.
Edward was surprised at the expression in Daisy's eyes. From her clear eyes, he saw the deep love that she was trying to hide. His heart started pounding wildly. 'Is she looking at me? Or she is reminiscing about someone she deeply loved?' Edward thought to himself.
He trembled at the thought that Daisy once loved some other man. 'Is it too late? Can't I win her heart?' He continued thinking.
"Uncle Rain, hurry up!" An abrupt voice broke the beautiful moment. The two quickly looked away.
"Justin," Rain said in an exasperated voice, "What do you want to show me?" Justin pulled Rain into Edward's office. He was stunned by what he saw in the office.
"Well. Sorry. Edward, please continue. I have to leave as it is." Rain said not being able to tear his eyes away from the couple. He wanted to leave immediately when he saw Edward's gloomy face. "Gosh. I would be doomed for interrupting them," he thought breaking out in a cold sweat. "I know I should have© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
knocked on the door, but Justin pulled me in. I have nothing to do with this," said Rain as quickly as possible. 'Edward, don't blame me for this, ' he prayed silently.
"Uncle Rain, this is my mummy. She is charming, isn't she? Do you like her? Why not reconsider my proposal to date her?" Justin said with pride, holding Rain's hand tightly. He hadn't realized that the moment had turned awkward the moment they had broken in.
"What? This is your mummy?" Rain cast his eyes on Daisy but hurriedly turned away his gaze when he noticed Edward angrily glaring at him.
Daisy finally recovered from the horror and wriggled out of Edward's arms in a panic, blushing charmingly.
"Hello, I'm Daisy Ouyang." Daisy offered her hand to Rain as she took a few steps forward. She no longer blushed and had switched to the cold and indifferent persona she had been trained to maintain.
"Hello, Daisy. I'm Rain Xia. Nice to meet you," smiled Rain. Minus the heavy makeup, she was a beautiful, elegant and delicate lady. No wonder Edward, who didn't like commonplace women, loved her so dearly.
Rain excitedly stretched out his hand, wanting to shake hands with Daisy. But Edward smartly smacked his hand away. "Come on. I just wanted to shake hands with Daisy. This is very mean of you, Edward," complained Rain. However, from his behavior, Rain realized that this woman was very special for Edward.
Daisy, embarrassed, looked at Rain apologetically. She hadn't expected Edward to suddenly stop him from shaking hands with her. As a female officer, she often shook hands with others, which was necessary social etiquette to express her friendliness.
Rain looked at the big red welt on the back of his hand and glared at Edward, but Edward didn't apologize or look at him.
'Damn! He actually hit me hard. How cruel is he? Here is this beautiful lady, totally different from the woman in heavy makeup and garish clothes, that I had seen in the club the other day. And I just wanted to shake her hand, ' Rain thought to himself. 'However, one thing is clear. The sophisticated makeup techniques used today can both beautify a person or make them look ugly.'
