Chapter 732 I Have An Appointment (Part One)
"What time it is now?" Daisy ran her fingers through her hair. She asked to know how long she had
been there.
"It''s almost 6. I was wondering how long you were going to sleep." Edward spent his whole afternoon in
the meeting room so he had no idea about when did Daisy arrive and how long she had been in his
office.
"Really? It has already been thiste?" Daisy''s delicate face blushed soon as she looked up and
caught Edward''s lingering gaze at her.
"Why are you off duty so early today?" He pulled his hands away from her shoulders to smooth her hair
and give her a quick kiss on the lips.
"I nned to go to the jail, but..." Daisy frowned, debating whether she should tell him or not.
"But? What''s wrong?" His eyes were fixed on her. There was no way Daisy could escape from
Edward''s mind reading gaze.
"Hero tried to kill himself. I was informed of the news on my way to the jail this noon." Daisy bit her lips
as she waited for Edward''s response.
"Then how is he now? Is he gone?" Edward''s face was devoid of any feeling as if he just heard
something trivial. Actually, he really had nothing to do with the suicide. Hero was just a man who

admired his wife. He couldn''t care less if he lived or died.
However, what bothered him was how Daisy seemed to care about Hero. He could sense Daisy was
trapped with sadness and it just showed that she was worried about Hero. It had nothing to do with love
but her empathy towards Hero was disturbing. It put his mind in a turmoil but he tried to look peaceful
so Daisy could express herself freely.
"The emergency treatment works, but he hasn''t been out of danger yet." Daisy forced a smile but
failed.
"Don''t worry. It''s said that evil things don''t disappear easily. He will be fine." Edward seized Daisy round
the shoulder and kissed her on the head. It made his heart ache to see that she was worried about
another man.
"Maybe you are right. Okay, let''s move on. Are you going to be off duty now?" Daisy had been
wondering whether Hero would appear at S City if he hadn''t been into her. The whole mess wouldn''t
happen if that was the case.
"Right. it''s almost done. I just have a few papers left to check." He wouldn''t force her if she wasn''t in the
mood to talk about Hero. Edward was ready to be Daisy''s listener all the time because he loved her. He
would never be too busy to listen to her. Maybe he would get jealous whenever Daisy talked about
other men sometimes, but he would be totally fine as long as he knew that he was the only man for
Daisy.
"Okay, I will let you alone. I am going to wash my face to refresh myself." Daisy said as she walked to
the bathroom. She felt relieved after she shared her thoughts with Edward.
Edward looked at Daisy as she walked away, his mouth was in a thin line. He knew Daisy wasn''t as
cool as she looked. She was a very soft and considerable person. She couldn''t just let everything go.
She stopped talking about it only because she didn''t want it to bother him anymore.
Edward sighed. He returned to his chair to work but couldn''t get his inner peace back.
Daisy sshed water over her face, feeling its coldness spread over her skin. She felt way much
peaceful.
She looked up at herself in the mirror with the droplets rolling down her face. Daisy forced a weak smile
and dried her face with a towel.
She tiptoed to Edward and put her arms tenderly around his neck. She rested her head on his shoulder
from the back. She didn''t say anything and just wanted to enjoy the peaceful moment with him, feeling
his heartbeat.
It was so rare to see her act like a spoiled child that Edward''s whole body tightened. He quickly
restored to himself and patted her on the hand. He didn''t say anything either and just continued to deal
with his papers.
"I have an appointment this evening. I won''t go home with you." Daisy whispered to his ear and blew
on it like a naughty child.
"What appointment are you going to?" Edwardid the pen down and turned his office chair around,
scooping Daisy into his arms. He rested Daisy on hisps.
"Oh, charming! I am scared to death." Daisy said as she thumped his shoulder affectionately. She didn''t
expect him to turn around all of a sudden, so it really scared the heck out of her.
"You are so timid. How did you be a military officer?" The thump she gave him was too weak to
even notice.
"Shoot! How about I scaring you like this?" Daisy rolled her eyes at him and stayed on hisps. She
knew she couldn''t leave unless Edward let her go.
"Tell me who are you going to meet?" Edward didn''t forget why he got nervous and went back to the
topic. He stared at her with his eagle eyes.
"Do you remember Zemo? The guy we met at Blue Enchantress several days ago? I asked him out for
dinner tonight. I am okay if you want to go there with me." Daisy fiddled with his fingers as she stared
firmly back at him.
"No. I don''t want to go there. It''s an alumni reunion and I am not one of your alumni." Edward would
have gotten mad if Daisy went there without telling him. But since Daisy told him everything herself, he
found nothing to be mad about.
"Really? You don''t want to go there?" Daisy bantered with him, wondering why such a sensitive guy
remained silent.
"No, I don''t. I know I am not weed there." Edward avoided her gaze. He didn''t want Daisy to see
through his thoughts.
"Okay then. I was worried you would be mad if I don''t let you in." Daisy pecked at his lips happily. She
was d that her worries were uncalled-for. Daisy wouldn''t be able to focus on anyone else if Edward
chose to go there with her.
"You little rat. Why did you pretend that I''m wee when you don''t want me in? Tell me when did you
be so tricky?" Edward turned away from Daisy and loosened his arms around her in a mock rage.
"Oh no, you really got mad. I was just joking with you. Don''t take it seriously." Daisy looked at Edward''s
back, not knowing whether to cry or tough. Her beloved Edward was so fickle.
"I don''t think you were joking." Edward said in a cold tone. He seemed to really take it seriously.
"Come on. don''t act cute, Mr. Mu." Daisy found it funny to use some popr words she learned from
Justin while talking to Mr. Mu.
"Daisy Ouyang, I don''t like that word. I am not a sissy." Edward did not turn around as he browsed
through the web. It made Daisy feel that he really was mad at her.
"You are not sissy at all. I just said that because I think you are cute." Daisy desperately fought the urge
to giggle. She continued to tease him, waiting for his response.
