Chapter 458 All Is Fair in War (Part One)


    "Why do your answers sound so thin and unconvincing to me?" Edward was just starting to recover


    after the surgery, and he was still too weak to stay awake for a long time. All his friends came to visit


    him after work today, and after talking with them all, he began to feel tired again. His head got heavier


    and his smile was a bit stiff, as if he would fall asleep any second.


    "Daddy, look at me! How could I ever lie to you? How could a liar have such a sincere and innocent


    look?" Justin hurried to exin himself as he ran towards Edward''s bedside with a sweet smile. He


    grabbed Edward''s arm and leaned forward to press his chubby face on Edward''s, wriggling his little


    body like an excited puppy.


    "Don''t lie, you little devil. Look at Auntie Leena, staring at you with a sharp nce. If her eyes could kill,


    you''d be dead a thousand times over. Are you sure you want to stick to your answer?" Edward smiled


    as he pulled Justin''s little head closer and whispered in his ear, a hint of slyness shing through his


    deep blue eyes.


    "What? No way! I''m not holding a grudge against her anymore; how could she be mad at me?" Justin


    immediately turned around. What he saw was that Leena was chatting with Daisy joyfully, blissfully


    unaware of anything else. She wasn''t ring at Justin at all! What did Edward say she was doing? The


    only conclusion Justin coulde to was that his dear daddy had just yed a prank on him. Justin


    was a clever boy, and he soon realized he''d fallen for daddy''s joke. He turned again to Edward, who


    smirked confidently and winked at him, which confirmed his suspicion.


    "Daddy! You lied to me!" Justin pouted and pretended to be angry with Edward. He threw himself back


    to Edward''s bedside to bury his face in his arm, and wriggled his little body again, as if he could shake


    all the embarrassment off in this way. Edward not only saw through Justin''s lie, but also tricked him.


    Justin felt embarrassed all of a sudden, and he didn''t want others to see his glowing pink cheeks.


    "All''s fair in war. What, little one? Who said that only you can trick me and I can''t do the same thing to


    you?" Edward gently pinched Justin''s adorable face and chuckled. Like father, like son. Justin might be


    as smooth and sly as Edward, but he was still a little boy. There was no way that he could sessfully


    fool his father, at least not now. Maybe he would seed one day in one, perhaps two decades. But


    not now.


    "Mommy, look at daddy! He is bullying me!" Now that Edward had seen through his little trick, Justin felt


    a little awkward to keep ying cute and innocent in front of his father. However, he didn''t want to be


    beaten by Edward like this, so he turned to Daisy for help.


    "Nonsense. Your daddy is badly injured and lying in bed. How could he ever do anything to bully you or


    anyone else? He should be d that people don''t take advantage of his being injured and bully him


    instead!" Daisy didn''t really know what happened between Justin and Edward, but she knew Justin said


    that because he was seekingfort. So she simply blurted out some random words tofort her


    son without thinking too much about it. However, when Edward heard what Daisy had said, he thought


    she was talking about something else. With a ghost of a smile on the corners of his lips, Edward


    narrowed his eyes while gazing at Daisy, ''Did she just doubt my ability?''


    Sitting quietly beside them, Luke had no intention to join their conversation in the first ce. He just


    wanted to be there and protect Edward. However, when he heard Daisy, he looked up at them in


    surprise. He nced at Edward, and as expected, Luke saw the devilish smile on Edward''s face. With


    deep sympathy, Luke turned his eyes to Daisy, who obviously had no idea what she had done and


    what kind of price she was going to pay for her words, even though she didn''t mean them. Luke sighed


    heavily in his mind. As far as he knew, Edward wouldn''t tolerate anyone doubting his ability, and Luke


    was sure that Edward would soon even the score by showing Daisy how wrong she had been.


    "Woman, are you doubting my ability?" Luke was right. He grew up with Edward and knew him well.


    Although Edward was easy to get along with, he got aggressive and arrogant whenever people


    doubted what he was capable of.


    "What? No... I didn''t mean that." Startled by Edward''s sudden question, Daisy paused for a second with


    confusion. She had no inking what she had done to Edward that made him unhappy again this time.


    She was only chatting with Leena. Why was he staring at her in that freaky way?

    "Haha! Sis, you did. We''ve all heard you. You just said that Edward was incapable of doing anything."


    Leena burst into giggles and quickly chipped into their conversation. Although she knew Daisy was


    merelyforting little Justin and she didn''t mean it in a sexual way like Edward did, how could she


    waste such a show, especially when she was sitting on the front row seat! This was going to be so


    much fun, and Leena loved fun!


    "But he is incapable of bullying anyone right now. Am I wrong about that?" Daisy had been in the


    military for too long a time. Due to the close-off management there, her daily routine was nothing but


    training and meetings. Therefore she was pure and simple in some certain ways, and she was


    especially slow when Edward flirted with her in a sexual way, because she didn''t think things that way


    in the first ce, like right this moment.


    "Haha! Edward, I feel bad for you. Sis seems to be quite slow in such things. But it could be a good


    thing sometimes, couldn''t it?" Leena''s smile grew bigger as she thought that things were getting more


    and more interesting. She had always thought that Daisy knew everything since she was a fierce


    colonel. But Leena was actually surprised to see the confused look on Daisy''s face for a change. It


    seemed that Daisy hadn''te to realize what they were talking about; the whole situation made


    Leena want tough out loud as she thought of how frustrated Edward must be feeling at the moment.


    Upon hearing Leena''s words, Tom''s mouth twitched. Only Leena would dare keep provoking Edward


    when he was on the verge of exploding without worrying that he would get back at herter. Even if she


    irritated Edward, she was still his beloved little sister, and he wouldn''t really get mad at her. Not for long


    anyway. Tom then thought of how miserably he had been treated aspared to Leena. Maybe things


    would be better if he were a girl. That way, Edward wouldn''t punch him or take away his invaluable


    medicine, and he could get back all the money Edward owed him, including the price of the medicine


    and this VVIP ward.


    "Little girl, aren''t you supposed to go home now?" Edward retorted sourly as he squinted at the


    beautiful girl whoughed so hard that she couldn''t even stand upright. Edward was a bit upset that


    Daisy didn''t get the hint of his flirtation but Leena did, and she was making fun of both of them. As


    much as he adored Leena, Edward wouldn''t allow Leena to stay here and watch as he made a fool of


    himself. Therefore he pretended to put on a serious face and drive her out.


    "I''m not in a hurry." Leena immediately saw through Edward''s intentions. The show had just started,


    how could she drop it and leave now? No way! She intended to stay for a little while longer here with


    them. ''I don''t have anyone to keep mepany at home anyway, '' Leena thought to herself gloomily.
