Chapter 870 A Pleasant Surprise (Part Two)


    "So... you think that I still have a chance with her?" To be honest, Rain didn''t even want to think about


    seeing Annie again. Part of him always believed that they would never meet again, and that he had

    already lost her for sure. So many yearster, when he finally saw the woman who had been in his


    mind day and night walking past him in front of his eyes, holding hands with two young kids with a


    gentle smile on her face, his eyes popped out in disbelief. He froze in ce, stared nkly at her,


    watching her disappear before his eyes without doing anything. He couldn''t believe his own eyes, and


    he couldn''t think straight. He just dumbly stood there. Before he knew it, she was gone. And right at


    that time, he finally realized who he saw just now and hurriedly started to look for her in vain. But


    unfortunately, she was nowhere to be found.


    "Well, I mean, if you really want to see her, I believe that you two will definitely meet again. It all


    depends on you, you know? You just have to figure out what you really want." Edward poured himself a


    cup of tea. Ever since his father learnt how to make tea from Daisy, he spent every day studying how to


    do it perfectly. So wherever he was, there was always a tea set with him. He needed to figure out the


    secret.


    "Well, I guess we will talk about itter. I just want to get my mind off it for now. And I wanted to ask


    earlier, where''s Daisy? Does she still have to work on National Day?" Compared to Daisy, Rain thought


    that he was indeed luckier than her. Though he always liked toin about his work, in fact, he was


    being treated the same way as his CEO. And more importantly, he had absolute control over his work


    schedule. At least, he didn''t have to work overtime.


    "Yeah. I guess today she''s even busier than usual." Edward''s brows lowered as he frowned. Maybe this


    was the disadvantage of having a colonel as his wife. He was constantly worried about her safety,


    especially when every other families were together, celebrating the lovely holiday and just enjoying


    being with one another.


    "Oh. Shame that she can''t join us. It seems that Daisy works really hard, but everyone else just sees


    her status instead of the hard work." Rain let out a sigh. He knew that as a woman, it was pretty difficult


    to achieve the status Daisy had today all by her own hand. To be honest, if he were Daisy, he probably


    couldn''t do as well as her, and he was a man. So he really deeply admired and respected Daisy. She


    was a real role model, the real deal. He felt like a cker next to what she achieved.


    "Yeah, it''s thanks to people like Daisy that we can all have a safe and sound holiday. Besides that, their


    families also have sacrificed the chance of being together with them on this special holiday. And I''m


    one of them." Edward found another chance to mock Rain. But deep in his head, all he could think


    about was Daisy''s beautiful figure. He really missed her. He wished that they could at least be together


    on the holiday.


    "Pffft! Don''t puff yourself up that much. To be honest, the bomb here is Daisy, not you. Stop ttering


    yourself, will you?" Rain snorted loudly. It seemed that Edward was really without shame.


    "What are you talking about? You''re so loud that I could hear you from outside." Daisy made her


    entrance in an olive green military uniform, looking refreshing and spirited. She didn''t expect that it


    would be this lively at home. It seemed like a fun party.


    "Ah, speak of the devil. We were just talking about you, Daisy." In Rain''s eyes, it was Daisy in her


    military uniform that was the most beautiful he''d ever seen her. It was hotter than when she wore the


    prettiest dress at a party. Because the uniform showed her energy and capability. And his guilty


    pleasure was women in uniform.


    "Oh? Were you speaking evil of me behind my back?" Daisy said, walking towards them. When she


    walked past Jonathan she greeted him in a small voice, simply saying "Dad." And Jonathan, being his


    usual cold self, just nodded towards her and said, "You''re back."


    "Daisy, I wasn''t, you know. But they -- well -- I can just say that they talked a lot about you." Even when


    Tom was ying chess, he still didn''t forget to rat on Rain and Edward.


    "Mommy, you''re home early! I thought that you''d bete again." Justin threw himself on Daisy as soon


    as he saw his mother. He held onto Daisy''s legs and raised his head up to look at her. He was really


    surprised and happy that his mother was back. He thought that she couldn''t make it today.


    "Yeah! That''s because mommy misses you very much, Justin! So I came back early. Are you happy?"


    Daisy stooped down and said these words to her son. And at the same time, Edward, who had been


    keeping his eyes on her, suddenly gazed on her with a surprised look. Delight shed in his eyes, and


    he felt extremely happy for his wife. Because she finally climbed to this position. She really deserved it,


    for all the effort she put in her work. It was just that he didn''t expect at all that she would give him such


    a pleasant surprise on such a special day -- the National Day.


    "It seems that we are going to pop the champagne tonight." Edward slowly stood up. He walked briskly


    towards Daisy and stopped beside her. His eyes rested on the two bars and four stars on her shoulder,


    and they were full of happiness and affection for his little wife. The day finally came. There were no


    words that could describe his joy.


    "Pop the champagne? Why? Daddy?" Justin asked in a confused voice. He couldn''t think of anything


    that needed to be celebrated. But beside him, Daisy turned her head and looked at Edward in surprise.


    She didn''t expect that he would find out about her promotion this soon. She had thought that he


    probably wouldn''t even notice the small change on her uniform, at least not this soon. But much to her


    surprise, Edward noticed the two bars and four stars on her shoulder as soon as she walked in the


    room. She was really touched by Edward''s behavior. Again, she realized how important she was in her


    husband''s heart. She always held a special ce there. That was why he would immediately know


    about anything that happened to her.


    "Justin, look at your mother more carefully. Then you''ll know why we are celebrating tonight." Edward


    looked into Daisy''s eyes, both of them showing the deep love for each other. She must be the happiest


    one in this room right now! After all, it was exactly what she wanted and deserved. And he could tell


    that she had definitely cried before she walked into the room, because her beautiful eyes were still a


    little red. Indeed, everyone could tell.


    "Ah! Mommy, you are a senior colonel now! Grandpa, Uncle Rain, look! My mommy is a senior


    colonel!" Justin had lived at the army base since a very young age, so he knew very well about the


    different Army ranks. That was why he couldn''t help but shout excitedly when he saw the brand new


    two bars and four stars on his mommy''s shoulder. He was so happy that it seemed that he was the one


    getting a promotion.


    "What? Justin, you are not kidding, right? Daisy, is it true? Let me see!" Excited, Rain jumped up and


    practically ran straight over to Daisy. But he couldn''t see anything different about her. What the hell?


    How did both Edward and Justin know that she got a promotion?


    "Uncle Rain, where are you looking? Look at my mommy''s shoulder! Her epaulet!" But Rain still looked


    quite confused, which made Justin feel very anxious. How could he be so oblivious? Justin just couldn''t


    understand. It was right in front of his eyes! And still, he just couldn''t see it.


    "Her epaulet? What''s wrong with her epaulet? There isn''t anything special about it." Rain knew nothing


    about the military, so he couldn''t tell the difference between the insignias of one rank and another. Ever


    since he came into contact with Daisy, he started to be interested in some military stuff. A little.


    "Come on! You''re just so dumb sometimes! Can''t you see there''s another star on the epaulet?" Justin


    looked at Rain in disdain. He practically told him the answer! But Rain, being his usual oblivious self,


    still couldn''t crack the code. Well, he was dumb sometimes.
