Chapter 644 B Country (Part One)


    "Oh honey, it''s you. I was going to call you. Didn''t expect you to call me first. Wait a minute, why are


    you using Mark''s phone?" Edward had a long day involving a lot of travel, so he waspletely


    exhausted. After his nended, he rushed to cater to some urgent business matters and then


    headed to his hotel immediately. As soon as he entered the room of the hotel, he got a call from Daisy.


    Before even putting down the bags in his hands, he answered the call.


    "Well, that''s a good question. You know what the irony is? For the past couple of hours, I''ve being


    trying to reach you with my own phone, but couldn''t get through. And now, when I tried with Mark''s


    phone, it worked! Care to exin why?" questioned Daisy grumpily. Though Mark was sitting near her,


    Daisy was unable to resist the rage, so she ignored Mark and snapped at Edward. She had been trying


    to call him all night, but all she got was voice mail recordings. She even started having those weird


    thoughts that something bad might have happened to Edward.


    "You must have gotten really worried. I am sorry. After the nended, I rushed to deal with some


    emergencies here. I know this is bad excuse and I should have called you sooner. I am sorry Daisy, I


    really am. Please don''t cry. You are an army woman, remember? You don''t want others to see you like


    this, right?"


    Hearing Daisy cry made Edward feel guilty. He realized that his carelessness had frightened his wife.


    She was a really strong woman. It must have been immensely torturous for her to be unable to reach


    him for the whole night, or she wouldn''t have lost herposure like that.


    "I don''t care what other people think about me. Where are you?" asked Daisy with teary eyes. Last


    night was like aplete nightmare to her. When she couldn''t get through her husband''s number, she


    panicked. What''s worse, she had absolutely no clue about the destination of Edward''s trip. At that


    moment, she swore to herself that she wouldn''t let that happen ever again.


    "I am in B Country right now. It''s said to be one of thergest diamond producing countries. Have you


    ever been here before?" asked Edward with a wry smile on his face. He never thought Daisy could be


    so demanding. Edward always thought of her as a strong, independent and organized woman, who


    was sometimes a bit aloof. But when she suddenly nagged him about the whereabouts, Edward


    realized that Daisy was no different from any other married women.


    "You also have a diamond business?" Daisy was a little shocked to realize that she didn''t really know


    much about her husband''s business. She never really bothered to ask Edward about the areas in


    which he was investing, the number of sectors in hispany, the type and variety of assets in his


    "Yes. FX International Group has a diamond mining base here in B Country." When the conversation


    drifted to a slightly lighter topic, Edward untied his tie and tossed it casually on the sofa. Since Daisy


    wasn''t around, he believed it was okay to be a little casual and imperfect for a while.


    "Edward, now that I think of it, I realize that I have never really taken interest in your work. You must


    think of me as a lousy wife, no?" This was one of the best qualities of Daisy. She never shied away


    from epting her fault. Perhaps this was something Edward admired the most about Daisy. Minutes


    back, she was firing him for not calling her and now she was all gentle and epting.


    "No, of course I don''t think of you as a lousy wife. I just don''t want you to trouble your mind with my


    business problems. All I want is for you to be happy and to ept everything that I am able to offer you


    and enjoy it to the core. Lastly, don''t ever forget that I love you more than anything in the world."


    Edward loved Daisy deeply, but sometimes he was bothered by her rationality. Though it was a great

    trait of hers, but there were times when Edward wanted her to be vulnerable so that he could show his


    power and protect her.


    "Do you think of me as a woman who is with you for your money? Do you really think that I won''t be


    around if you have no wealth left or if you can''t offer me anything?" asked Daisy with her brows


    furrowed. Any other woman in this world would have actually been thrilled to hear her husband say


    what Edward just told Daisy, but Daisy was different. She was rational. For her, this statement seemed


    to be more regret-arousing than touching. She knew Edward had to work really hard to own everything


    he had today. Not everybody could rte to the struggle behind this humongous wealth. People only


    looked at his morous standard of living; nobody really thought about how much effort he had put in


    to achieve all that he had today.


    Piles and piles of documents to review, countless crucial decisions to make, 24/7 stand-by for business


    trips to even the remotest areas of the world, and many other things that an ordinary person might find


    impossible to handle were everyday affairs for Edward. It definitely wouldn''t have been possible without


    the support of Daisy. Daisy always understood Edward''s busy routine and never intervened in his


    career.


    "No, that''s not what I meant. It''s only one way of saying how much I wish to do things for you. Please


    don''t take my words by their literal meaning. I respect you and your individuality. Why would I say


    something like that when I know it might offend you. Trust me, if there is only one man in this world who


    can read your mind, it''s me," said Edward as he satfortably on the sofa. Though he was extremely


    tired from his long trip and work, when it came to Daisy, he never lost his calm. He spoke to her


    affectionately with a tender smile on his face. It was because he really cared about Daisy and she was


    the woman he was madly in love with.


    "You must be really tired now. Go take a good hot water bath and have a good night''s sleep. I will talk


    to you tomorrow." Daisy had already forgotten the unpleasant things that kept her up all night. From


    Edward''s feeble voice, she sensed that he needed rest, so she wanted to end their talk and let him


    sleep.


    "I am okay, honey. Talking to you never tires me." Edward meant it. If it weren''t for Daisy, he would


    have already cut the conversation short and hung up the phone by now. His tender passion and


    patience were there only for Daisy.


    "That''s really sweet of you! If you aren''t really tired, then I can go on talking with you endlessly and use


    your words as lubies." Daisy hadn''t been able to sleepst night, so she was just as tired as Edward.


    As they were talking, she reclined on the back seat of the car, continually struggling to keep her eyes


    open.


    "I am sorry you didn''t sleep wellst night because of me," said Edward apologetically. As a matter of


    fact, he didn''t do all this on purpose. He knew Daisy must have been worried back home. As soon as


    hended in B Country, he rushed to deal with a few emergencies. Once he was done, he quickly


    headed to the hotel. He knew he wouldn''t be able to talk to her properly while he was on road. But he


    had no intention to leave her waiting.


    "That''s all right. I miss you, Edward. Pleasee back soon." Daisy wasn''t used to expressing her


    feelings so openly; but with Edward, she didn''t mind. She cared for him so much that sometimes she


    forgot the principles she set for herself.


    "I miss you too. Don''t worry, I will be home by tomorrow," said Edward tenderly, his face lit up with


    happiness. When he heard Daisy said ''I miss you'', he was immediately filled with a lot of energy and


    joy.
