Journey to Happy Ending

Chapter 278 What's Wrong With Me Hugging Daisy

When Daisy went back to the mansion, she couldn't believe what she saw in the house. She was

stunned to see the couple who were having fun playing with Justin. They didn't look as old as they

were. The man was young and handsome, while the woman was beautiful and cheerful like a young

lady. Daisy winked and couldn't believe her eyes. She knew Cynthia and Jonathan. But they hadn't

changed one bit since she met them at her wedding ceremony, and that was six years ago. She still

remembered how surprised she was when she saw them that day. She had thought they were

Edward's sister and brother. It was until she heard the emcee announce that the new couple would bow

to the parents, that she realized they were Edward's parents. She was flustered at that time and

imagined what age they were in when they had Edward. They looked too young to have such a big son

as Edward. Daisy didn't expect them to look as young, lively and beautiful as they were six years ago.

Daisy almost dropped her jaw when she saw them again.

"Are you Daisy?" Cynthia looked at Daisy who was flabbergasted and asked. She frowned with doubt.

Because the bride she saw on the wedding ceremony six years ago wore bridal makeup. So she wasn't

sure if the woman in front of her was Daisy, she wasn't wearing any makeup today. Cynthia assumed it

must be Daisy. But she had heard that Daisy had been away for the military exercises. She was here

now, had she finished the military exercises already? But why wasn't she wearing her uniform? Cynthia

really wanted to see how she looked in her uniform.

"Mom? You are back. Are the military exercises over?" Before Daisy could reply, Justin ran into her

arms and that cleared Cynthia's doubts.

"I'm Daisy. Mom. dad, I'm glad to see you here. " Daisy kissed Justin's face and smiled gently. She

nodded politely to Cynthia while cursing Edward bitterly in her heart. 'Why didn't he tell me that they

have been back. I am embarrassed to be dumbstruck upon seeing them here.'

"Yes, we are back. So nice! You are growing more and more beautiful. Come here, let me give you a

hug." Cynthia's beautiful face became more radiant after she saw Daisy. Although they had been

traveling around for years, they kept abreast of everything happening in S City. This also attributed to

Jonathan's another identity. They knew that Edward had been leading a wild life and playing around

with his life for the past few years. They were worried about his ways, so they forced him to get

married. But they could only sigh with helplessness on his rebellion after the marriage. They felt sorry

for Daisy who was chosen by them as their daughter-in-law.

Jonathan nodded at Daisy, looking cool and handsome. Except for Cynthia, he remained cold towards

everyone. His gentleness was only reserved for his dear wife.

"Mom, you and dad are as young as ever. You are still very beautiful." A lump formed in Daisy's throat.

It had been a while since she called someone 'mom'. She had lost the chance since her mother passed

away in an accident. She felt very emotional when she uttered that word.

"Sorry. I know your life has been very hard for the past few years. We are responsible for this. We were

too rash about our decision." Although Cynthia didn't know Daisy very well, she liked her graceful and

relaxed manner. It intrigued and intimidated people at the same time. But this was not the case with

Cynthia.

"No, I'm okay. This has nothing to do with you. You don't have to feel guilty," Daisy shook her head and

said. In fact, she felt she should thank them for giving her the opportunity to marry Edward. Otherwise,

she and Edward wouldn't have met, let alone have Edward fall in love with her.

"Huh! Ms. Cynthia, don't you think you're holding the wrong person? You should be hugging the man

standing behind you, not someone's wife." Edward said while leaning against the door. He raised his

eyebrows and looked at his father who still wore a cold expression. There was a trace of self-mockery

in Edward's cunning smile.

"You brat! What's wrong with me hugging Daisy? Are you feeling jealous? You are so mean!" Cynthia

teased Edward and released Daisy from her embrace. Her eyes were a little red. She didn't know how

to make Edward happy when he was with them. She felt it was very difficult to satisfy him. They had

been back a few days, but Edward preferred to be alone and was reluctant to spend time with them.

"I am not the jealous one. You accuse me of being mean, but compared to someone, I am actually

quite generous." Edward said with a playful smile. He walked briskly to Daisy's side and gathered her

into his arms. He squinted at Jonathan with a cold look, his expression was like that of a child who was

angry with his parents. 'Huh! Do you think only your wife is worthy of love? I also have a spouse to

love. And I don't care if you keep my mother only to yourself, ' Edward thought.

Daisy was embarrassed by Edward's sudden action. She was annoyed and she pinched hard on

Edward's waist. Edward took a deep breath to suppress the urge of letting out a cry with her pinch. And

Daisy took this chance to free herself from his arms. She blushed with shyness and wondered, 'Is he

crazy? What was he thinking? He was hugging me in front of his parents. And what does he mean by

saying that?' Daisy felt uneasy when she heard Edward's words.

Jonathan wasn't agitated by Edward's provocation. He exhibited a charismatic smile and then sneered.

Like father, like son. Although he hadn't lived with Edward for a very long time, he understood what

Edward was trying to say. He felt that Edward's reaction was too childish, and this made him sad. He

realized that he had really cared little about him. Because it suddenly occurred to him that he was so

unfamiliar to Edward's childish side.

"Dad, do you come back from the military base? Why do you come back so late today?" Justin

interrupted in. He didn't like to be ignored by them. He pouted to express his discontentment.

"No, I ran into her. Hey, you don't look handsome when you are sulking." Edward didn't mind when

Daisy left his arms. He knew she was shy, so he would not force her to do a public display of affection.

"Haha! Mom. How was your military exercise? Was the opponent the weirdo Uncle Kevin again?"

Justin asked. He knew his mother's strength. As long as the opponent wasn't Kevin, it was highly likely

that she would win. But if it was Kevin then it would be a different story altogether. Because Kevin was

even more resourceful than the Commander. That was also why he went up in his career so smoothly. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Of course, besides his good strength in military, resourcefulness and strategy were also required to

climb up to such a high position.

"Justin, watch your words when you talk about others. You're not allowed to defame others. Although,

he was indeed a weirdo this time by using really unusual strategies during the battle. And that caused

me a great loss. But no matter what, you can't judge others." Thinking of how Kevin tricked her during

the military exercise, Daisy inadvertently repeated Justin's words about Kevin. And that made everyone

at the place flabbergasted. 'Isn't she scolding Justin? But why is she saying the same thing that Justin

did?' They thought.

"Haha! Honey, are you sure that you're giving a lesson to our son, not pampering him?" As soon as

Edward realized her mistake, he couldn't help but laugh. He didn't expect that his aloof wife would have

such an unexpected side when she was muddled. It seemed that her many hidden traits occasionally

surfaced when the right time came to reveal them.

"Hum... Well... I..." Daisy stammered at Edward's tease. Her pink face blushed, making her look more

attractive. Thinking of what slipped from her mouth, she wished there had been a hole where she could

bury herself.

"Haha! "Daisy, don't mind. I like your straightforward character. Don't be embarrassed, just say what

you want to say. Take it easy." Cynthia was worried that Daisy would be very boring, she looked cold

and stern. It surprised her that Daisy could be so amusing.

Jonathan had never looked at any other women in the eyes except for his wife. But after he heard

Daisy's unwise words, he took a glance at Daisy. A feeling of admiration rose in him. 'She has the

quality of a soldier, calm and magnanimous, ' Jonathan thought.

While the mansion was full of joy and laughter, at another place, Kevin's heart was filled with

helplessness. He couldn't find Leena. But when he saw that Duke seemed calm when he asked him

about Leena, he became less worried. He was certain that Duke knew where Leena was. As to the

reason why Duke didn't tell him, he figured it out by himself. It was because he didn't ask for his

permission before getting married to Leena. Based on the fact that Duke loved his sister immensely, it

was easy for Kevin to know Duke's real intention. It was no more than revenge on him.

Kevin came back to his flat, distressed. He felt tired. He slipped on the side of the bed and looked

around mechanically. It was so quiet in his flat. And he suddenly felt uneasy about this silence.

Although when Leena was here, they were busy with there own stuff, he could still feel her existence by

her smell in the air. But now she was nowhere to be seen.

Kevin narrowed his eyes slightly. He found himself become more emotional recently. He stood up

slowly and looked at her accessories on the dresser, he then realized that he really knew little about

her. He didn't know that she was like a little girl who liked to display many beautiful and interesting

things on the dresser.
