Chapter 878 Loyalty (Part One)


    "Don''t lie to me," said Daisy. Daisy opened her eyes a bit. Actually she wouldn''t be that afraid if that


    thing didn''t touch her skin. In the past she killed lots of snakes in the rainforest. However, she didn''t


    want it to be closer to her body.


    "I''m telling you the truth. I promise," said Edward, with a wry smile on his perfect face. It was a rare


    thing for Daisy to be scared, so Edward was highly amused.


    "Darling, What''s this? It''s so beautiful!" said Daisy in surprise. Daisy lowered her head and saw a very


    lifelike ne of phoenix. She stretched out her hand and touched it. It felt cold. Although she usually


    disliked wearing jewelry, she liked it on sight. She and the phoenix had something inmon -- both


    have risen from the ashes and been born anew.


    "It''s called Ice Rain. Do you like it? It''s a gift for your promotion," Edward said. He knew Daisy liked this


    ne when he saw the smile on her face. But he needed confirmation.


    "Yeah. I like it. The name''s also poetic. Thank you," said Daisy. Then, she stood on tiptoe, and kissed


    his cold, soft lips. She liked kissing him.


    "That''s good. I was worried that you might not like it." Edward realizedter that his wife had be


    increasingly dependent on him. She would kiss him furtively, and smiled as broadly as a girl who had


    her first taste of chocte or love.


    "Howe? It''s beautiful. Why would anybody not like it? By the way, did you sneak out and buy it for


    me today?" Daisy rested her arms on the hips, raised her head and looked Edward in the eye. A sense


    of happiness swept over her beautiful slender face.


    "Yeah. I caught sight of it at a ribbon-cutting ceremony a couple days ago. I thought, ''I bet Daisy would


    like this.'' But life got in the way, and I had to put it off. I barely had time to get it today, to be honest." Of


    course, Edward wasn''t about to tell her the whole story, including the argument with Shaun at the mall.


    He closed his eyes and took in the scent of jasmine from his wife. He loved it. He kissed her forehead.


    "How much did it cost?" asked Daisy. She frowned and suspected that such a beautiful piece must be


    extremely expensive.


    "Not sure. Thepany''s footing the bill. By the way, do you know they have jewelry for sale on the


    ground floor of MY mall?" He thought his wife must have been informed of all this already.


    "No. As you know, I don''t like to go shopping. Besides, do you really think that I can afford the luxury at


    MY Mall?" Daisy pouted. Even the cheapest clothes at MY Mall would cost most of her monthly sry.


    Therefore, she was smart enough to stay away from MY Mall and never go inside. Besides, before they


    reunited, she never thought that she would be with Edward ever again, much lesse to live with


    him. So she tried to save money for Justin. She''d feel guilty if she spent a lot on clothing. In addition to


    that, she liked her uniform and would wear it most days.


    "Quit arguing. I don''t want to hear you talk about me being a profiteer again," Edward interrupted


    before Daisyined. Whenever Daisy groused about the astronomical prices of products at MY


    Mall, it made Edward feel guilty, like he''d done something wrong.


    "Haha! "Now you know who you are. Not bad, honey. But you can do better," quipped Daisy. Daisy


    pinched his cheek, and felt jealous when her hand touched his smooth skin. Then, she pinched his


    cheek harder than she intended to. She wondered why a man''s skin could be softer, paler and more


    smooth than a girl''s.


    "Sweetie, are you jealous now? Even if you are, please don''t pull too hard. I like my skin attached to my


    face," said Edward. Edward removed her hand from his face, and frowned. He rxed his facial


    muscles, and was afraid that his wife might have done something to his visage if he hadn''t stopped her.


    "Shame on you! Why is your skin much better than a woman''s? It''s ridiculous," shouted Daisy. She


    sounded like a pouting child. Jealous as she was, she still liked pinching his smooth face.


    "Haha! Now, I can see you''re green with envy." Edward gently rubbed his hand against her cheek, and


    was convinced that his skin was much better than Daisy''s. It was probably that Daisy''s face had been


    roughened by long periods in the hot sun. So, he made a mental note that he would find an expert to


    look after Daisy''s skin. Even though Daisy was a natural beauty, neglecting a skin care routine would


    do her skin no good. Then, one day her beauty would be gone. By that time, there would be nothing


    that could be done.


    "You''re damn right I''m jealous. So tell me: if I lose my beauty and you still look stunningly handsome


    one day, what would you do? Would you still stay true to your vows and love me? Or would you trade


    me in for a young model?" Daisy was afraid that their marriage would fall apart. So, she stared at her


    husband in horror, waiting for a reply.


    "You can guess," said Edward in amusement. Edward held his wife in his arms. They could bare their


    hearts to each other and talk frankly and honestly on rare asions. Daisy was always busy and spent


    less time at home with him. She almost had no holidays, since idents urred all the time, and


    then she would be under orders to go and deal with them.


    "I guess you''ll abandon me and find another beautiful and young girl. Guys do that all the time,"


    answered Daisy in an aggrieved tone of voice. If he thought she was paranoid and pessimistic, oh well.


    She still wanted an answer from him. Would he cheat on her? Would he cast her out? Would he stay

    true to her for the rest of their lives? The more she thought about that, the more anxious she became.


    "I admit that I''ve spent my life gathering beautiful things, so I never have to look at anything ugly. So if


    you want our love tost forever, take care of yourself, stay young and beautiful. Then, I''ll be yours


    forever." Even if Daisy somehow turned ugly, whether through age or disfigurement, Edward would


    never abandon her. He was more confident about that than anything else in the world. However, he still


    couldn''t help teasing her.


    "Do you hate me then?" asked Daisy. Daisy touched her face, and felt her skin was dry, probably


    because of the dry weather in autumn. It would be much better and softer in spring and summer, Daisy


    thought to herself remorsefully.
