Chapter 491 It Feels So Good To Come Back Home (Part One)


    When they were busy, people often felt that time flew quickly. And it was true for Edward who was


    recovering from his injury. So when the phone beside his bed rang, he immediately picked it up and


    answered without even bothering to check who was calling.


    "Hello, who''s calling?" This was Edward''s unique way of answering the phone. He was not like Daisy


    who always answered the phone with politeness, nor like any other gentlemen who gracefully


    introduced themselves as soon as they picked up the phone. His style was influenced by arrogance


    and mboyance, yet not going too far to make people feel ufortable. Although he was answering


    the phone, his attention was still focused on the report in his hands.


    Daisy frowned when she heard Edward''s voice. This was not what she had expected to hear from


    Edward. Wasn''t her number saved in Edward''s phone? Why else would he ask who was calling? This


    was not like Edward''s usual style. The only possibility was that he was in the middle of doing


    something, and he answered the phone without even noticing who was calling on the phone''s screen.


    He was a patient, what would he be so engrossed in? Daisy''s mind was filled with numerous questions.


    "What are you doing?" Daisy ced the file on the table andid back in the chair, waiting to hear his


    reply.


    "Work." The reply was simple and to the point. He hadn''t shifted his attention from the document to the


    call.


    "Work? What work?" Daisy narrowed her clear and aggressive eyes and wondered, Edward could


    hardly walk and he dared to tell her that he was working, was he ying with his life?


    "Oh! Honey, it''s you! No, I didn''t mean work. I was just talking with Luke." Edward was shocked by


    Daisy''s anxious voice and came back to the call. He immediately made up for his slip of the tongue.


    "Edward, do you think that I could be fooled around so easily? Daisy yed with the golden pen in her


    hand and expressed her firm attitude that she didn''t believe what he had said. If he was just talking to


    Luke, howe he hadn''t noticed that the call wasing from her?


    "No, even if I want to cheat someone, I don''t have the nerve to cheat the Colonel Ouyang. Aren''t you


    busy with your work?" Edward knew Daisy cared a great deal for him, so he purposely shifted the topic


    and tried to divert her attention.


    "There''s no need for you to concern yourself with my work. What I care about is what you''re doing right


    now." How was it possible that she wasn''t busy with her work? If she wasn''t busy, she wouldn''t dy


    the call to Edward until afternoon. In fact, she had been thinking all morning about one thing only; she


    felt it necessary to say thanks to him. But as she remembered what he had said to her earlier, she


    realized that a simple thanks would not be enough to show her gratitude towards him. Moreover,


    Edward might get angry at such formal etiquette. It was tooplicated, and in the end, Daisy didn''t


    blurt out anything.


    "I... I''m not doing anything. Don''t you believe me?" Edward smiled helplessly. He did not intend to


    deceive her. He just didn''t want her to be worried about him.


    "Yes, I don''t believe you because you have no credibility. I remember telling you that I don''t want to be


    thest one to know anything about you. Apparently, you haven''t kept that in mind. I wonder how you


    would exin this to me."


    Although she knew that what he had done was for her benefit only, she unwittingly took offense


    because he had purposely held it from her. She had promised to share her feelings with him whenever


    she had doubts or misunderstandings. So she always kept this promise and stopped keeping her


    feelings buried in her heart.C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org.


    "You...You already knew.'' Edward bit his lip and asked hesitantly. He knew she would me him, but


    he didn''t expect it woulde so soon. He had thought that Daisy might question him when she got off


    work.


    "Yes, why didn''t you tell me in advance? This time I want to know what''s your reason for hiding it from


    me." Daisy took a sip of tea and licked her dry lips with the tip of her tongue. Such a sexy gesture


    would look really charming to any man.


    "There is only one reason, that is I want to be the one behind you who protects you from any suffering.


    No matter what happens, I hope you will never be the one who''s hurt. This is my promise to you."


    Edward''s eyes looked deep and enigmatic. He felt that she still had many doubts about him. But he


    couldn''t me her. He had a bad track record in the past. And that made it difficult for Daisy to trust


    him again.


    "This reason is indeed convincing, and it moves me. But that doesn''t mean I won''t mind the fact that


    you have hidden the truth from me. So I hope you can give me a more valid reason."


    Daisy''s eyes got a little red. After hearing Edward''s words, she thought she would be cheating herself if


    she didn''t say anything. But she didn''t want him to know how she really felt about this situation.


    Otherwise, he would certainly be more unscrupulous in the future. He would try to manage


    everything by himself and hide everything from her while iming it was for her own benefit. This was


    uneptable for her. Because if it really went like that, she would feel that she wasn''t equal to Edward


    and they didn''t stand on the same level as he''d be the only one facing all the problems. She would


    indulge herself in enjoying all his achievements. This was the most humiliating thing for a soldier. She


    was not inclined to bing a worthless person. Moreover, she didn''t want to be the woman who hid


    behind his back and squandered all the things he achieved with his selfless efforts for her.


    "Honey, you know how it is, right? The most convincing reason you''d like to hear is that I love you. You


    know that I''m too shy to say it, but you push me to say it. You are awful!" Edward said with a bashful


    grin and acted sultry as if Daisy was actually standing in front of him.


    Hearing Edward''s words, Daisy slipped and almost fell down from the chair. He said he was shy, huh, if


    that was true, then there were no shameless people in the world. He tried to tell such a brazen lie to


    her; it was insane. Daisy felt that she had underestimated the extent of his shamelessness. where did


    he get to learn these sissy words? His tone was so effeminate!
