Chapter 504 Are You In Love With Him (Part One)


    "See? I knew it! I know everything you have done serves a purpose. You''ve been using me in your own


    ns, even when you were driving Daisy away from the Ouyang Family, you used me to achieve your


    goal. No wonder Brian has been hostile to you the whole time. He must have learned about your


    malicious nature!"


    Said Mary with hatred, every word cold as ice. She hated it when Brian ignored her. If it weren''t for


    Yakira, Brian would treat her as good as he did to Daisy. But now he was indifferent to Mary, but


    behaved lovingly to Daisy. The difference between them drove her crazy.


    "How dare you! How can you talk to your own mother like this? Where are your manners?" Yakira was


    both ashamed and angered. She raised her hand and yelled at Mary, threatening to p her again.


    Brian''s indifference had wounded her deeply, thus she couldn''t bear to hear Mary to mention that


    again. Why would a son treat his own mother as aloof as a stranger? And why would a daughter yell at


    her mother in disgust?


    "What? Do you want to hit me again? Do it then! But don''t you mention manners to me again, because


    you have none! If you knew what decency was, you wouldn''t be Leo Ouyang''s wife. And the CEO of


    Ouyang Foreign Trade''s wife would be someone else."


    Eyes wide open, Mary glowered back at her mother. They red at each other with hatred, as if their


    opponent was their mortal enemy. Mary always hated her mother for the original family she was born


    to, and even more for making her a stepdaughter of a sessful entrepreneur. For that, the young


    "Alright! Whatever! You''re too young and stupid to know what is right and what is wrong. And you are


    too self-centered to heed my advice. Whatever I say or do, you would think it is an excuse. But just wait


    and see! One day...one day, you''ll understand everything I''ve done is for your own good."


    That said, without looking at Mary, Yakira got in the car and drove away. Her daughter''s every word had


    wounded her badly, making her heart cramp in pain. She wondered whether this was her retribution.


    Perhaps, because of her sins, she was punished by heaven. To win Leo''s heart, she had framed Grace


    and cast Daisy away. And that was why she was doomed to be despised by her own children. Mary


    and Brian had never treated her as their mother, but an enemy.


    Mary bit her lower lip as she watched her mother''s car drive away. She never thought that her mother


    would heartlessly leave her behind. Her car was not there, thus she had to call a cab to get back.


    Though she always hated taxis, she had to endure it for the moment. Gathering her wits and emotions,


    Mary walked to the curbside, and hailed a taxi. For the first time ever she had a quarrel with her


    mother. But she didn''t look deep inside herself and think of her own faults, but attributed the whole


    mess to Daisy. In her opinion, Daisy was the root cause of Brian''s indifference to her and her mother''s


    anger. She wondered why Daisy had all the good things she had yearned for?


    "Edward, what''s going on here? Did they just fight with each other?" Having watched the whole drama,


    Leena giggled delightfully at the scene. When she smiled, she radiated a youthful charm of her age,


    shining like a peach blossom from a February garden.


    "I think so. Anyway, let''s go. I''ll drive you home." Edward sneered disdainfully. He had no interest to


    settle the dispute between Yakira and Mary. Even if they were going to fight to the death, he would


    stand by and watch, if not help them gut each other. Thinking that through, he raised his head and


    looked up to the bright sky. The midday sun hung suspended in cloudless space, like a zing disc of


    fire. Edward slightly frowned in the sweltering weather.


    "No, thank you, Edward. I''ll hang out here a little longer. You''ve just recovered from a gun shot wound.


    You should go back home and rest," said Leena. Since the newly-married passion faded away, the true


    nature of marriage had been revealed to her. Marrying a man didn''t feel so good; not half as good as


    she had imagined it to be. For a time, she had always wanted some personal space, and her wishes


    came true. Since her marriage with Kevin, she had spent many nights waiting alone in the house for his


    return. She found that the house was so empty, and time passed so slowly when silence reigned over


    everything. She craved connection.


    "No, I''m okay. If you don''t want to go home, I can also hang out with you for a while. I have a lot of free


    time now, and can apany you for even the whole day." Right now, Edward was no longer


    burdened by his heavy workload. Since he had plenty of time, he felt like hanging out with Leena and


    rxing.

    "Oh, that''s very kind of you, Edward! But I have to decline the honor. If I kept you out toote and


    exhausted you, Daisy would beat me up. You can just help me remove this ne. I want to spend


    some time alone." Out of nowhere, Leena was overwhelmed by a feeling of loneliness. She didn''t want


    to go back to her cold house, nor did she want the feeble Edward to apany her. She just wanted


    to feel the lively atmosphere in the crowded ce.


    However, Edward resisted. "It doesn''t matter. I always like a brisk walk. But let''s remove that ne.


    I don''t want you to get robbed," he said. Edward sensed that there was something wrong with her. Or


    else, she could never be so depressed.


    "But you are never interested in going shopping with women, Edward. What''s gotten into you?


    Normally, when the subject is brought up, I invite you all the time, and you just say no," said Leena with


    a smirk. She was happy to be hanging out with Edward. But she looked up to the sky and paused for a


    while, as if she was considering whether she liked the idea or not.


    "I am not keen on shopping. But since I''m married to Daisy, I am used to it." Edward smiled fondly, as


    the topic reminded him of Daisy. Then he reached out and removed the ne from Leena''s neck.


    He missed the happy hours when Daisy and he were wandering on the snack street and eating, even if


    a lot of it was foreign to him. And he was lost in his thoughts as he was thinking of the three of them


    living happily together.


    "That''s right. The conqueror is now conquered. Let''s go and have fun then. To me, having a handsome


    guy aspany is fun enough, however much fun we''re going to have," Leena giggled. She shouldn''t


    refuse him again. Thus she delightfully epted his offer.


    "Mr. Mu, would you like me to drive you home?" asked Luke curiously, as he saw that Leena and


    Edward weren''t walking back to the car.
