Chapter 234 12 Long Years of Love (Part One)


    "Annie, nice to meet you. I hope we can keep in touch in the future." Belinda nced around, but Daisy


    was nowhere to be seen. She was disappointed and wondered whether the wound on Daisy''s arm had


    healed.


    "I will, Belinda." Annie sounded tender. At this moment, she was elegant and quiet. She was more


    mature than her age might indicate, and she was as graceful in body and manner alike.


    "Edward, where''s Daisy?" Belinda asked after she had chatted with Annie. She had thought that Daisy


    would be here.


    All the eyes were on Edward now, because everyone else was also curious why Daisy didn''te.


    Rain knew that Jessica had kissed Edward and not the other way around -- Daisy should have been


    willing to hear Edward''s exnation. Rain considered Daisy to be a rational woman, who wouldn''t take


    idents as deliberate mistakes. Hence, Rain didn''t understand why Edward kept drinking like a fish.


    "She has gone to attend the war games." Edward replied indifferently in a vexed tone, ignoring other


    people''s gaze. His mood was unfathomable.


    "War games? Howe I have never heard of it? This one must be being conducted in secret. A


    closed one again?" As Belinda could recall, Daisy had attended a training recently. How was it that war


    games hade so soon? Belinda was worried about Daisy when she couldn''t reach her.


    "I don''t know either, because she told me nothing." Edward was sipping wine, with a mncholy look in


    his deep eyes.


    "Is Daisy still mad about what happened between you and Jessica? Did you exin it to her?" Rain


    asked, doubting if that was the reason for all this. Edward never kissed women on the lips, because he


    was apulsive germ freak. Everyone in his social ss knew that. If Daisy knew about it too, it


    wouldn''t be hard for her to believe Edward.


    "I think so. Since I didn''t get to see her before she left, how could I exin anything to her?" Edward


    said in a resentful tone and drained another ss.


    "What? Does Daisy know that Jessica is pregnant?" Duke cut in, unaware of the whole situation. He


    thought the only thing that Daisy would mind was that Jessica was pregnant, because to him, nothing


    was more serious than this.


    "What are you talking about? Jessica is pregnant? And Daisy knows about it? If that''s true, maybe she


    hasn''t gone to the war games but is hiding somewhere to heal her broken heart!" Belinda said, ring


    at Edward, eyes zing fire. ''Edward, it had better not be like what I think. Otherwise, I''ll harangue you


    so much so that you''d wish you have never been born, no matter whether you''re the man Daisy loves


    or not, '' she thought.


    "We were talking about the kiss Jessica forced on Edward this afternoon." Rain rolled his eyes at Duke


    and scolded him secretly, ''This guy is anxious to stir up trouble. Doesn''t he know his wife and Daisy are

    best friends? Edward will be in huge trouble when Belinda knows everything. Duke should know how


    hot-tempered Belinda is.''


    "You mean really Jessica is pregnant and Daisy is the only one that doesn''t know about it?" Belinda


    asked. That was the only thing that she cared about.


    "Um, well..." Rain peeped at Edward, who was drinking silently, eyelids drooping, as if nothing they


    were talking about concerned him.


    "Edward, exin this to me! What''s going on between you and that slut Jessica?" Belinda flew into a


    rage. She cared about all things that involved Daisy. Whoever angered Daisy angered her.


    "Honey, calm down. It''s not what you think," Duke said. He held Belinda and thought, ''Damn! Doesn''t


    she see Edward''s grim face? He''s going to explode in fury soon. What does she think she is doing?''


    "Duke, go away! I want Edward to answer my question. You''re no better than him, by the way. Don'' t


    forget your lovely Rachel Qin!" Once Belinda was mad, she was mad at everyone.


    Duke twitched his mouth, but said nothing, because the thing between him and Rachel Qin did exist.


    He couldn''t erase his past, but he could exclude her from his future life. That much he could promise.


    "If I say nothing is going on between Jessica and me, will you believe me?" Edwardughed. Daisy


    turned around and left at the sight of a kissing scene. If she knew that Jessica was pregnant, he


    couldn''t predict how she would treat him. Would she read all the reports about him every day like


    before? Would she stop loving him?


    "No, I won''t. You''ve always had a dubious rtionship with that woman. How would you expect people


    to believe that you are innocent?" Belinda sneered, looking at Edward contemptuously. She had


    thought that he was devoted to Daisy. It turned out to be a mere masquerade.


    "Just as I thought. Even you won''t believe me. I can understand why she didn''t even give me a chance


    to exin. She turned off her phone too." Mark had told Edward that Daisy''s phone had died, but


    Edward didn''t believe it. She was avoiding him.


    "Edward, you''re despicable. Do you know what Daisy has sacrificed for you? Do you know how long


    she has loved you? No, you don''t. Because you have never cared about her. You have been caring,


    loving, and spoiling other women. You never even looked at her once."


    Belinda was so sad that she couldn''t go on. She closed her eyes, which had reddened from


    excitement. Only she knew how tired loving Edward had made her and how much she had suffered.


    The others only saw how sessful she was, and no one knew what she had gone through to gain her


    achievements.


    "Yes, I do." Edward answered. It was eptable to say no if he had known nothing about the


    newspapers. But if he still couldn''t feel her love after having seen the stack of newspapers in her study,


    he didn''t deserve her love.


    "You know? Edward, are you sure you really know? Just because you said that you didn''t love weak


    women, she chose to go to a foreign military school, which she loathed most, and for which the


    Ouyangs threw her out of the house. No, you don''t know how much time she has wasted on you. She


    has loved you since the minute you two met. She was forced to get married at first, but when she heard


    that you were the groom, she was so happy to marry you. But God! You treated her like trash!


    Tears welled up in Belinda''s eyes and streamed down her cheeks. Her usations shocked everyone


    present, because the woman Belinda was talking about didn''t sound like the Daisy they knew at all,


    who was sessful and heroic. They had never imagined that she had had a hard life.


    "I''m sorry," Edward said, uncertain whether it was to Belinda or to Daisy. He had never known Daisy


    went to a military school because of him. The documents Luke had given him mentioned no reason.


    Maybe Luke had failed to find one. However, when did Edward say that he didn''t like weak women? He


    didn''t recall saying that at all.
