Chapter 238 Sorry Honey (Part One)


    "I didn''t see him do anything while I was there, but I''m not sure if he went through your stuff after I left,"


    said Mark. He feared that if she knew that her secrets had been exposed to Edward already, she would


    definitely hesitate on the idea of calling him. He thought that sometimes it was necessary to tell a white


    lie, for the greater good.


    Daisy pouted, and thought, ''What do you mean you are not sure? Oh, it''s highly likely that Edward


    already saw what''s written in the newspapers.'' Daisy felt more and more nervous when she thought of


    this, and hoped that Edward didn''t read the newspapers. Everything in them disyed her true self,


    totally uncovered, like her inner self waspletely undressed and naked. Every moment when she


    was not with him, all of her love and feelings towards him and all of her grievances were presented


    there. She had thought that all of these would never evere to light, but considering Edward''s


    eagerness to find her at that time, it was impossible for him not to notice them. Daisy''s heart throbbed


    faster and faster when she thought of this.


    "Okay, have a good rest," said Daisy in a faint tone. She then closed her eyes, obviously upset at what


    was happening. ''Fine. So what if he saw them? I can''t do anything about it now anyway. The worst


    scenario would be that he already knows that I''ve been loving him in secret all of this time. That''s not


    humiliating! I have done nothing out of the way and I haven''t done anything bad. I didn''t vite


    anything, I only wrote about my feelings, '' thought Daisy, trying to convince herself.


    "Okay, Colonel," said Mark. He turned around and left, but Daisy was still a bit flustered. She took out


    her cellphone and stared at it, hesitating and thinking on what to do next. After she thought for a while,


    she finally gathered enough courage and determination to do what was right. She realized that running


    away was not the best solution, because it was just a temporary solution, and that everything would


    eventuallye back to haunt her. Several hours had passed already, and she wasn''t as emotional as


    she was before. Her identity and role as a soldier now told her that she should be rational and she was


    not supposed to dere him guilty before he gave any exnation.


    She slowly turned on her cellphone. Her heart was beating fast and her mind was running, and she


    didn''t know how to describe her feelings in that moment. She loved him, and she was sure that she


    wanted to hear his attractive and familiar voice, but all of her senses told her that she should not lose


    her principles and values that she had always held onto with so much fervor.


    As soon as the phone was turned on, she found out that there were already hundreds of missed calls


    on it, all of them from Edward. He had saved his number in her cellphone under the name "husband"


    as an endearment. But what was happening right now made it look ironic and out-of-ce. She felt


    stressed, and her hand trembled with panic when she saw his number on the screen. She didn''t expect


    that he would call her so many times. ''Should I conclude that maybe he does, indeed, care for me?''


    pondered Daisy, but without trying to be excessively positive about the whole thing.


    She also noticed that she had unread messages in her inbox. This immediately put her in an uneasy


    mood, because she knew that these messages were also from Edward. She felt somewhat scared and


    nervous, because she could imagine how furious he was when she was not answering his calls. She


    knew he was an arrogant and aggressive guy, no matter what the situation was. He would be easily


    distressed simply because she hung up the phone before he did. This time, he must have blown his


    top.


    Her shaking fingers paused on the inbox icon, and Daisy was sure that all the messages were sent by


    him. She feared that she would see words that spelled out his indifference or hisck of affection to her,


    but she felt relieved when she opened one of the messages and saw that Edward was still clingy and


    aggressive in his endeavor to be with her.


    It read, "Daisy, how dare you run away from me! Wait and see how I''ll punish you when I manage to get


    you back. Be prepared to stay in bed for a week! This time, I promise you I will exhaust you until you


    won''t be able to stand up anymore! I will find every way to make you mine again!" When she saw the


    message, Daisy couldn''t help but feel confused. "Edward is such a mischievous man! Is sex the only


    way in which he can punish me for what I''ve done? Couldn''t hee up with a better excuse this


    time?'' thought Daisy, slightly frustrated. She then read the next message.


    "Honey, please! Please, pick up the phone! It''s really not like that! It''s not what it seems, there''s nothing


    going on between me and that woman! She was the one who kissed me! You know that my lips and


    body are reserved just for you. Did you forget what you promised?"


    Daisy''s face turned red after she read this message. Daisy sneered, and thought, ''He''s lying by saying


    that his lips are only for me to kiss! Why do men always lie like this? I don''t believe that he didn''t want


    to kiss her! Oh, couldn''t he find a better excuse? He''s so shameless to say this, shameless and


    careless...''


    She couldn''t stop herself from reading another message. "Daisy, I have some words for you, and I


    know that they might sound like a cliche, but I still have to say them to you, and I will only say them


    once, so you''d better read them carefully. I love you. I don''t know when it all started, but you have


    slowly melted my heart. Don''t ever try to escape from me in this life, because I won''t live a life in which


    you''re not mine."


    Daisy covered her mouth with her hands to keep herself from crying. She couldn''t believe what her


    eyes just saw, and thought, ''He says he loves me! I''ve been waiting for so many years for him to tell me


    this! Oh, I heard him saying them in my dreams so many times! Am I still dreaming? Is this real? Or


    maybe Edward is just tricking me again...'' pondered Daisy, while her mind was busy with its many


    conflicting ideas.


    Tears gathered in her eyes and fell down on her beautiful face. She didn''t know whether these tears


    were of joy or sadness. Were theying from a sorrow that she had suppressed deep inside of her


    for so many years, or from the fact that Edward had just confessed his love to her. It didn''t matter


    whether it was true or false, because she was still inclined to believe it. She still had hope in her love,


    and she had nothing left to do but to put her full faith into it.


    She found herself to be extremely emotional at that moment; she had never felt like this before. Her


    emotionspletely contradicted her stoic, authoritative image in the green uniform. She was


    supposed to look strong and courageous, and she remembered that every time Edward wanted to


    show their intimacy in public, she would stare at him and immediately scold him, although deep inside


    her heart, she felt very excited and overjoyed.


    When his phone rang, Edward was in the shower, and as soon as he heard the ringtone, he quickly ran


    out of the bathroom naked, and dripping wet. He grabbed the phone, and when he saw the familiar


    name that shed on the screen, he smiled joyfully and brightly, and answered it.


    "Hello! Honey, I miss you! I''m so happy that you called!" cried Edward, without asking any sort of


    questions. He wondered if she truly knew how anxious he was when she didn''t answer his calls. He


    had sent her many text messages, but she hadn''t replied to any of them. He even thought that she had

    decided topletely ignore him, and that he would never see or hear from her ever again. He felt


    relieved when she called, because it meant that everything would be okay...


    "Sorry for that, I didn''t notice your calls or messages because of an emergency," replied Daisy in the


    inest voice that she could put on. Both of them didn''t mention anything about Jessica, as if nothing


    had happened. They talked with each other like they usually did.


    "Okay, I understand!" said Edward, and with his voice slightly trembling, he asked, "Have you already


    arrived there? I just want to know if you arrive safe and sound. You should keep me updated from time


    to time..." Edward didn''t just want to talk to her, but also to hold her tight in his arms, and to show her


    how much he truly loved her and how much he feared losing her, and she would certainly feel how


    deep and passionate his feelings actually were for her.
