Journey to Happy Ending

Chapter 212 Are You Mad at Me

"Justin, isn't your daddy good and loving to you, too? He has always been nice to you, right?" Leaning

casually against the door, Edward folded his arms and smiled at his wife and son. He felt so happy and

relieved to see them. They were the only people he needed right now.

"Daddy! You're home! Why didn't you bring me to the seaside with you? I would have loved to be there

with you!" Justin jumped off from her mother's lap and dashed towards Edward in excitement. It

seemed he had totally forgotten that he was holding a grudge against his father. The mere appearance

of his father gave him so much joy.

"The seaside? Do you want to go there again?" Edward slightly frowned while lifting Justin's warm little

body up to his arms. He could still recall what happened last time they went to the seaside. Why not go

somewhere else for a change? 'But it's different this time, ' Edward thought to himself, 'since the three

of us will go as a family. That would be a happy trip, no doubt!' Edward was suddenly delighted by the

idea.

"Yes! Daddy, can we bring mommy next time? So that we will be a complete family!" Putting on a sweet

and cheerful smile, Justin played with Edward's tie and looked into his eyes like a little puppy begging

for food.

"Then we'll have to ask mommy about it. That's not my decision to make." Ever since the moment he

walked in, Edward had been gazing at Daisy affectionately. He missed her so much.

"Come on. Let's go have dinner first. I'm starving." Daisy looked away, trying hard not to make eye

contact with him. She didn't even say a thing about the trip the father and son were already planning.

She simply tucked her hair behind her ears and walked towards the door. She didn't know what to think

or what to say. She couldn't even look at Edward straight in the eyes, for fear that she would break

down and cry. Daisy told herself that she didn't care at all what Jessica had showed her, but in fact her

mind had been running circles on her.

"Justin, you go first." Edward lovingly patted Justin's little butt and put him down.

"Okay, daddy! But don't make me wait too long. I'm hungry already!" Justin looked at both his father

and mother. He knew something was wrong and his parents were going to have a conversation. He

didn't say anything else and just went downstairs.

Edward still had his eyes fixed on Daisy. She seemed strange and hesitant. What was she thinking

now? There were hints of hesitation and fear in her eyes when she looked at him. 'She was just fine

when we spoke on the phone earlier.' Edward wondered in dismay, 'What happened?'

Daisy pulled herself together and tried to go past him, but Edward wouldn't let her. He grabbed her

hand and dragged her into his arms. His skin felt warm and smelled like seaweed. 'He must have spent

a long time by the sea.' Daisy thought to herself.

"Honey, are you mad at me? Why are you acting like you're dodging me?" Edward held her tight and a

frown showed on his face.

"Why should I be mad? What have you done to make me mad? Did you do something?" Daisy slightly

shifted her stance, trying to break free. Edward tightened his grip even more.

"No, I didn't do anything. Am I still in trial for questioning?" Edward inhaled a whiff of her unique scent

and gently kissed her on the forehead.

"Then why do you think I'm mad at you?" Daisy gave up struggling to get free and just leaned against

him. Though he didn't smell that good right now, there was no place in the world like his arms. She

liked it when he hugged her.

"But your face is telling me that you're mad. What's wrong?" Edward was not stupid. He knew there

must be something bothering Daisy right now. She looked upset.

"You see it wrong, because I'm not. Go take a shower. You smell like seaweed. That's all." Daisy didn't

tell Edward what Jessica had sent her earlier. She was waiting for him to tell her the story between him

and Jessica. She believed he would tell her when he was ready. Until then, she would wait.

"Do I really smell that bad?" Edward loosened his grip, and kissed her passionately on the lips. He had

been waiting for this moment all day. He couldn't wait any further.

"Wha...ummm... What are you doing?" Daisy froze as she was surprised. When she finally pushed him

away, she panted while glaring at him. Could he just normally talk to her without doing anything else? Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

Even just once?

Edward simply smiled and leaned forward to seal her lips with another kiss. Every cell in his body was

screaming for her love to comfort him. All his emotions that he had been suppressing for the whole

day... fury, sorrow, guilt, panic and passion all amplified and turned into one aggressive kiss at this very

moment. He poured all his emotions in just a single kiss.

He couldn't focus nor think about anything except her. Everything seemed pale and meaningless

compared to her. Edward had never felt this way before, especially for a woman. He was already in a

panic as he didn't know what to do with his feelings. He tried to do something else to distract himself

from missing Daisy, but nothing worked. He even played squash the whole afternoon, trying to wear

himself out and clear her out of his mind. Unfortunately, he couldn't think of anything but her even when

he was playing. He could not get hold of an escape rope from the love and passion he felt for Daisy.

That's why he drove to the seaside. He wanted to be alone for a while. He also hoped the tides would

help him calm down and sort things out.

Edward never knew what love was until Justin came into his life. Neither did he realize that his feelings

for Daisy would be so strong like this. He never paid real attention to it before. It felt like everything had

been written in the stars; that one day she just walked into his life, and he started caring about her like

never before. It was really a change of heart for him.

Annoyed by how reckless he had been, Edward gently bit Daisy's lip before he let go of her. Her rosy

lips were already wet and slightly swollen because of his deep kiss, and her watery eyes were wide

open like eyes of a startled little bunny. Edward curled his lips into a loving smile and once again held

Daisy in his arms. He felt safe and comfortable when she was around.

At first, Daisy was frightened and tried to push him off. However, as he eagerly and deeply kissed her,

she could sense his emotions through his burning and trembling lips. She could feel his rage and panic.

He was like an injured animal, desperately seeking for a haven to hide and be safe in. She didn't know

what was wrong, but she knew he wanted her to respond. So she kissed him back affectionately, trying

to heal the invisible wounds he had. Though she couldn't see them, neither did she know where the

wounds came from, she knew that he was badly hurt and he needed her.

Edward wished that time could just stop at this very moment, and they could hold each other forever.

He had decided that he would never run away or lie to himself again. He wanted Daisy, no matter if it

was love or something else. He wouldn't let her go. His world would be complete only if she was in it.

There was no other way for him to be happy.
