novelDont Leave
| ← Ch.0047 | Ch.0049 → |
Daisy shot Edward a confused look. Why did he suddenly need to leave?
"Just stay here. Make yourself at home. I'll take you out to dinner tonight." Edward whispered in her ear. His warm breath made her stiffen.
"But I want to take Justin back to the base. I don't want to impose." Daisy lowered her lead and said in a low voice.
Edward was a bit taken aback. His demeanor turned cold and mysterious.
"You want to leave me that much? After all I have done for you?" His lips were sexy, but his words were evil. Daisy trembled in fear.
"That's what you want, isn't it? You have your life and I have mine. Isn't that what you told me?" Daisy said angrily. That was not what she thought or meant. But she couldn't let him know what he meant to her. She didn't want to see his disdainful look.
"But you are here now. You're in my life. Now what? You want to back down? Or are you just playing hard-to-get?" Edward roared. He was too full of rage to understand how cruel he was being.
His hurtful remarks turned Daisy's face pale. She bit her lips tightly. She never thought that Edward still regarded her as a calculating bitch. She fumbled for words, but in the end, she said nothing. What could she say anyway? He really believed what he was saying. It was partially her fault anyway, for creating that cold identity. There was no explaining it away.
When he saw Daisy's ashen face, Edward realized how cruel his words were. But he was too proud to take back his words. Full of regret, he combed his hair and went upstairs.
Justin worrie em a go. After all, she had loved him for too long. He didn't love her, and she knew that. But at least she had some good memories with him. Besides, she was his nominal wife.
"Done. But you must promise me as well -- no sleeping around. You're mine. You can't say no when I want it, either." Edward stared at her. He looked forward to being with her so much.
"I promise. And I will meet a wife's responsibility. I will help you with all your social engagements, but on one condition -- all of this can't hinder my work. I hope you understand that."
Daisy was no sentimental woman. They were a couple in the first place. Yes, they didn't sleep together, but they were legally married. That was a fact.
Edward smiled happily. He'd thought he'd need to try harder, but this was easier than he thought.
"Okay, but you have to live here with me. You'll still have your career." Living together was a given. That way he'd be able to treat her as well as she deserved. They couldn't just talk the talk without walking the walk.
