Chapter 864 Cuckold (Part Three)


    "Are you for real? You are the one who asked us out and now you''re saying that you will dump us


    here? This is not fair. We had been waiting for you here for almost an hour before you showed up!"


    Rain''s voice went higher when he saw Edward leaving. This unfortunately caught Melissa''s attention


    and made her realize that Rain was just inside the booth next to them. Heck! He was even sitting just


    behind her chair! She also noticed that Edward was there as well. The thought hit her hard. Her heart


    literally skipped a beat as her face went back to being colorless.


    "Hey, leave him alone, alright? Can''t you see that he is absent-minded all this time? I think he had a


    fight with his wife! You should just let him go. Let''s hang out without him. He is just a party-pooper."


    Tom was a more cautious man than Rain. He had noticed Edward''s odd behavior since the moment he


    sat with them. Edward was constantly checking on his wrist watch and fiddling his phone whenever he


    got a break between the dialogues. Tom could tell he was not at ease and his mind was apparently


    somewhere else!


    "I have nothing else to talk about with you guys. My advice to you would be to just go home and rest! I


    think it is high time for you to find a nicedy to join your sad life! Being single is not fun!" On hearing


    his mocking words, Rain gave Edward a bitter smile. It sort of made sense that they should all just


    leave this ce. There was no reason for him to hang out with Tom and stay there as he just came to


    apany Edward. He should really take his advice, call it a day, and just go home. Besides, he had


    seen enough for today.


    "I agree. Let''s go. I need to head home and study some patient case before it is toote. We can walk


    out together." Tom nodded as he stood up. It would be pointless for him to stay here on his own.


    Upon seeing the two stood up, Edward nodded to them swiftly and walked straight out. He didn''t


    persuade them to stay there as it was obvious that they were no longer in a party mood. He paused for


    a while as he passed Shaun''s booth. Then, as if nothing happened, he continued his steps and


    disappeared by the gate. Melissa was utterly shocked by his pause. Her heart was in her throat as the


    felt kind of relieved when he didn''t even cast a nce in her direction. That meant she was sessful


    in her disguise. Things were going well ording to her n, and Edward didn''t spot her out.


    "Hey, I know this man! He was just here a few minutes ago!" Shaun caught Rain''s tall figure when he


    walked past their booth. He pointed to Rain''s back and said to Melissa, "I think I heard his high pitched


    voice. He was sitting right behind us, in the next booth!" It never urred to Shaun that Rain was so


    close to him. He tried so hard to locate his whereabouts, but it turned out he was right under his nose!


    Shaun gazed at the gate where they disappeared and wondered who was the first man that walked out.


    He felt cold sweat ran down his back as he pondered on the man''s identity. Who was he? The words


    he said to him earlier seemed like a deliberate provocation. The more he thought about what had


    happened, the more suspicious he felt about the whole thing. ''Why would he sit at their table and


    "mistake" Melissa for someone else?'' he thought. He was also concerned about his talk with Melissa.


    They might have overheard their discussion about destroying the FX International Group. That thought


    petrified him.


    "You are right. That is the man." On the other hand, Melissa was not bothered at all. She was back to


    her normal mood as soon as the three left. She no longer had to be concerned about being recognized.


    N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.


    As for the talk she had with Shaun, she was confident that no one had overheard it as the booth shield


    was high enough and she had paid extra attention on lowering her voice. She felt safe that Edward


    wasn''t around anymore. However, she was slightly upset about the fact that Edward didn''t recognize


    her. Had he already forgotten who she was? But if so, why would Rain show up before her and say


    those words to her? Melissa shook her head slowly in an attempt to wag the crazy thoughts away.


    Then, her face turned darker gradually as she was unable to avoid sumbing to the thoughts even


    more.


    It was merely nine o''clock in the evening when Edward reached home. He was greatly surprised to find


    that Daisy had already gone to bed. It was strangely too early. Daisy was a night owl and tended to


    stay upte at night. Apparently, his behaviour earlier had caused her distress. He cast a nce to the


    bed and said nothing. He wanted her to experience what he had before. He wanted her to know how it


    felt like being neglected by the beloved one. He controlled himself from wanting to hug his wife and kiss


    her hair. He found himself walking straight to the bathroom instead. He turned on the shower tap and


    soon, the shing sound of hot water woke Daisy up.


    Daisy opened her eyes and angrily thought to herself ''What is his problem? Shouldn''t I be the one who


    is mad now? Howe he didn''t even say hi to me when he returned home? Didn''t he even notice me


    on the bed?''


    Daisy''s eyes brimmed with tears as she bit her lip. She felt sorry for herself. Things were not going


    smoothly between her and her husbandtely. The fight they had earlier was simply stupid and


    unnecessary. It did happen anyway and caused great pain on both sides. Life hurt. That was her


    reflection on the whole situation. She didn''t mean to hurt him but she was also at a loss of what to tell


    him to make him better. She was so upied by her work and even lost track of time when things got


    busier. She didn''t mean to neglect her beloved husband on purpose. Sometimes, it was just hard to


    bnce between work and life. She knew that family should alwayse first but in some cases, it


    was easier said than done. It was obvious that Edward couldn''t take it anymore thus, he lost his


    temper. It was just fair for him to be outright upset. Daisy closed her eyes and swallowed the painful


    lump in her throat to keep her from crying.


    She gave what happened earlier a good thought while she was on her way home. Deep down, She


    agreed with Edward''s thoughtpletely. She understood his point of view as she would hate to be


    treated coldly by him as well. If she was in his shoe, she would also go mad upon consistently being


    ignored by her partner. It was really important to give one''s partner enough attention and care after all.


    Her heart ached hard as she realised her wrongs. She felt like an idiot who had failed to run her


    marriage carefully. She should have given him more attention and made him feel loved and wanted.


    Her carelessness ruined the tender foundation of their love. Daisy couldn''t believe what she did to him.


    ''I''m such a loser!'' she thought.


    She rubbed her sore nose and closed her eyes before he stepped out of the bathroom. She didn''t know


    how to face him. She had nothing suitable to tell him for the time being. The cold war between them


    seemed necessary until she found a better solution. She would have a busy day tomorrow. She literally


    couldn''t spend any effort on anything else. She felt sorry for Edward but she really had no energy to


    deal with him for now. With her eyes tightly closed, she bitterly thought to herself ''Tomorrow is another


    day. I will have a good talk with him. He might calm down by then and it will be easier for me to discuss


    our issue.''
