Journey to Happy Ending

Chapter 257 Not His Daughter (Part Two)

Leo felt awkward, then intentionally avoided eye contact with Justin. He made no comments on what

Edward had said. Because he thought it was his fault that he approved of Daisy's leaving home

although he didn't dismiss her.

"So you are Justin!" Now Leo understood why Edward mentioned the name "Justin" unceasingly on the

day when they met at the Mochan Restaurant. He was Daisy's son! No wonder Edward thought he

would have known Justin. And the odd thing was why Edward hadn't brought up the subject until now.

Didn't Edward know that there was no connection between Daisy and him already?

"Yes. I am. But who are you? Should I know you?" Justin was good at acting cute. He was looking up at

Leo with an innocent smile on his face. He thought that his mommy had a family before, but she was

driven out. Then the man standing in front of him was even worse than Jessica.

"I……" Leo didn't know how to reply to Justin. Should he say that he was his grandpa? But he had cut

relations with Daisy a long time ago, so he didn't know how to introduce himself at that moment.

"Justin, don't be rude. You can address him "Grandpa Ouyang"! Edward didn't want Justin to address

Leo as grandpa. He was clear that Daisy wouldn't agree either. He remembered how angry Daisy was

when he mentioned the Ouyang family before. He thought she might shoot him if he allowed Justin to

address Leo as grandpa.

His heart became soft unconsciously when thinking of Daisy. How many days had it been since she left

him? Including the day she left, it had been three days! But why did it feel like three years for him? It

was true that "one day apart seems like years?"

"Nice to meet you, grandpa Ouyang!" Justin said reluctantly. He knew that, as Daisy's son, he must

behave nicely in front of the people who drove his mommy away. Only this way could they know his

mommy's charm.

"Good. Justin is a good boy!" Leo choked, not for Daisy, but for Justin, the little cute boy in front of him.

He wished Daisy were his daughter, so Justin could be his own grandson. Ironically, he wasn't lucky

enough to have either of them.

"Mr. Ouyang, what can I do for you?" Edward said and remained his elegant demeanor. At this

moment, without knowing Leo was struggling inside, Edward felt funny when he saw the sadness on

Leo's face. He thought Leo would be indifferent all the time. He had emotions as well! If Edward hadn't

seen his sadness, he would always think Leo was a cruel man and would never change his attitude

towards Daisy.

"Oh! Nothing important! Mary told me you are mad at her, so I came here to explain her actions," said

Leo hesitantly, but he finally spoke up about Mary's demands. He knew what Mary wanted, but he

needed to say it because of his love for her.

"Hehe! I can see you love your daughter dearly! You came here just for this? I have to say you love

your daughter with all your heart! Don't you think you are too cruel to the other daughter?" Edward

quipped with a cold smile. He wondered why Leo was so cruel to his own daughter, but loved his

stepdaughter so much?

"Edward, don't judge a book by its cover. You don't know the whole story." Leo was enraged. He

thought: If Daisy were his daughter, how could he treat her in this way? Her existence reminded him of

his wife cheating on him. How couldn't he feel ashamed?

"What? Did you want to warn me, as your wife did, how ungrateful my wife is?" Edward scowled with

darkened face, the power in the air suddenly changing. His remaining respect for Leo just now was

gone. He found there was no fatherly affection for Daisy from Leo. Even worse, Leo was trying to help

his stepdaughter to set him up. It might not be a bad idea to sever ties with a father like him.

"I didn't mean it, but I don't feel sorry for her. As for the reason, I think you're a smart guy. You should

have figured it out by now. I feel ashamed to tell you myself." Leo didn't think it was a good idea for him

to come here today. Not only did he fail to complete his mission, but also he embarrassed himself and

ruined the atmosphere. Besides, he felt ashamed by Edward's sarcasm.

"In this case, I have nothing further to say to you. And I will figure it out. I hope you don't regret your

coldness over the years." Edward didn't know the reason why Leo treated Daisy so badly, but he would

unearth the hidden truth. When he did, he wanted to see if Leo would remain as calm as today.

"Well. I'll wait. I really hope you find something that will make me regret my actions for the rest of my

life. I hope you can also prove that her mother didn't cheat on me." Leo closed his eyes for a minute.

He wished Daisy were his daughter. When Daisy was a little girl, he loved her so much, but in the end, This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

she was not his daughter. It was just a lie. How could he endure this pain?

"Well. I won't walk you out. Justin, say goodbye to grandpa Ouyang. We need to go home now."

Edward could take the hint from Leo's words that Daisy wasn't his daughter, which meant his wife

cheated on him. Edward thought it must have been a blow to Daisy when she learned this, much

sadder than being driven out.

"Grandpa Ouyang, goodbye!" Justin couldn't really absorb the information in the conversation between

his daddy and Leo. It sounded like a riddle to him and he couldn't get the point. No matter how, he

knew one fact: the grandpa in front of him was a man who treated his mommy bad. So he didn't like

him at all.

"Um! bye-bye Justin! Edward, I'm taking off. Sorry that I bothered you," Leo said politely, which meant

that he didn't view Edward as a son-in-law and also suggested that there was no connection between

his family with Daisy.

After watching Leo, tall and straight, walk outside the reception room, Edward slumped down on the

couch slowly, with fear inside. He thought, 'If what Leo said is true that Daisy is not his daughter, I can't

imagine what kind of pain Daisy has been suffering. It must be like stabbing the unhealed wound and

then rubbing salt on it.'

"Daddy, are you all right?" Justin felt a little worried when seeing daddy's pale face, and then gently

touched Edward's forehead with his little hand consciously.

"Oh! I'm fine. Let's go home!" Edward said with a soothing smile on his face. Then he pinched Justin's

pink cheek and held his hand walking out of the reception area. He thought he might be frightening

himself. As far as he knew about Daisy, he couldn't believe that her mother was an immoral and

disloyal woman. If it were true, how could she raise a daughter like Daisy who had impeccable

manners?
