Chapter 1594 You''re Just Edward Mu''s Dog (Part Two)
"Arrogant bastard!" Rain could hear the petty man''s yelling from inside his office, and scoffed. He
adjusted his chair and continued studying the current status of KD Group. The more he learned about
thepany, the more he wanted to give up. To save the group was far moreplicated than he had
expected.
Time flew by in a blink, and the Spring Festival wasing up soon. Patricia''s due date was in a mere
couple of days. She had been on tenterhookstely, and didn''t dare visit anyone for fear that she would
go intobor at any moment.
"Tom, I just want to have a painlessbor, okay?" Patricia sat on the couch, and looked at Tom with a
hopeful gaze.
"The painlessbor doesn''t actually mean you won''t feel any pain. It just significantly reduces the pain.
Although it won''t affect the baby, the anesthetic will possibly affect the mother. I still suggest that you go
through with naturalbor. Don''t worry, Patricia. I''ll be right here the whole time." Tom held her hand
and stroked it gently in constion.
"I''m so scared," she admitted to him with a pitiful look. ''You''re not the one giving birth. Easy for you to
say that, '' she thought to herself as she looked at Tom.
"Rx, you have me. I''m a doctor, you can feel safe with me. After all, you want to meet our baby as
soon as possible, don''t you? You''re strong, and you have to deliver the baby sessfully." Tom''s
words didn''t do much to ease Patricia''s anxiousness as her due date was approaching. Although Tom
had consoled her everyday, she was still under immense pressure.
"Can I trust you?" Patricia asked carefully and grabbed his hands as tightly as if she were just about to
give birth.
Tom sighed, "I''m your husband, and the father of our baby. Why can''t you trust me?" He frowned at her.
He loved her with his whole heart, he thought. Why couldn''t she rx with him around?
"I''m sorry. I know you get angry," she apologized at once after realizing her question hurt him.
"I didn''t get angry. I just don''t want you to test me with these kinds of questions in the future. I''m your
husband, and if you can''t trust me, then who else can you trust?" Tom was rather hurt by it still, and he
couldn''t believe his wife couldn''t trust him. He could imagine how miserable it would be to live in a
family full of doubts, and he wasn''t sure he wanted to start that kind of life.
"I didn''t mean it like that. Please don''t get irritated." Patricia got affectionate. She pleaded in a rather
charming manner, with her arms snaked around his neck. She was not match for Leena when it came
to acting like a spoiled little child, but she knew she had to give him a little bit of it. She sighed to herself
at the thought of Leena. Since thest time she had questioned the way Leena was getting along with
Tom, she noticed that the woman began staying away from him, but it made Tom sad and dejected.
Patricia wanted to restore their rtionship, but had no clue how to do so. The jealousy couldn''t be
helped when she saw how intimate they looked together, so she had to voice it out, but she didn''t mean
to undermine their rtionship.
"Nevermind. I''ll go check if your soup is ready." Tom stood up and went into the kitchen. He decided to
let the question go, otherwise, it would do damage to their affection for each other. He knew he
shouldn''t take it to heart, because she was his wife carrying their child.
Patricia stared quietly at his retreating figure and thought she should have a little talk with Leena on the
matter. Although Tom never med her for it, she could tell that he had been in a bad mood because of
it.
It was the first Spring Festival that Leena and Kevin had spent together. As Kevin was on duty, they
didn''t visit the capital city to see his parents. Instead, they went to the Leng family house to have a
family reunion dinner. Afterwards, Kevin had to go to the army base for the party with the other soldiers.
Leena was adamant about going in with him.
"Kevin, how do you often celebrate the Spring Festival in the army base?" she asked out of curiosity.
"We make dumplings and y some funny games. It''s pretty interesting, I guess. You''ll seeter."
Kevin held Leena''s arm and helped her along. Although her belly was not that swollen yet, people
could tell she was pregnant.
"What if I''m not wee?" She voiced her worries. The soldiers might feel reserved by her presence.
"Are you kidding me? You''re beautiful, and so adorable. There''s no way you''re not wee." Kevin
reassured her with a smile, and opened the passenger car door for her. He helped her in and settled
into the driver''s seat himself.
She chuckled at hisment. "You''re ttering me." Leenaughed a bit more, and Kevin grew more
and more glib-tongued by the minute.
"I was telling the truth. My wife is the most beautiful woman in the world. Don''t you agree?" Kevin
strapped her in and started the engine. Before they drove off, his phone suddenly rang.
"Should I grab it for you?" Leena offered as she saw his phone was in the storage bin.
"Look who''s calling." Kevin was backing up the car, so he couldn''t really answer the phone at the

moment.
"It''s Daisy. Let me answer it for you." Leena happily picked up the phone anyway when she saw
Daisy''s name.
Kevin stayed silent. He knew what Daisy was going to tell him even without answering the phone. She
must''ve called to ask him to keep Leenapany at home, and stay away from the army base.
"Hi Daisy! It''s me, Leena. Kevin''s driving." Her voice was soft and friendly, always making people feel
"Hi Leena! How have you been? Are you still suffering from morning sickness?" Daisy asked while she
adjusted her military uniform on the other end of the line.
"I feel much better now, thank you. But I still get the morning sickness from time to time. Tom said
people normally don''t have it anymore after early pregnancy, but some have it the whole time. I''m
scared to be one of those few." At one point, Leena would just throw up anything she ate. She couldn''t
keep anything down, and it was troubling for Kevin. He was busy in the army base in the daytime, and
had to take care of Leena at nights.
"Don''t scare yourself too soon. Your baby shouldn''t be that naughty. Kevin''s driving, you said? Where
are you going?" Daisy held her phone in one hand as she packed her stuff with the other. She cast a
nce at Edward who just entered the room.
"Kevin said he''s going to celebrate the Spring Festival with the soldiers, so I want to go with him."
Leena was looking forward to spending the night in the army base. She was curious about how they
celebrated the day.
"What? I was trying to tell him to stay at home with you." Daisy was shocked by what Leena said, and
cursed herself for not calling him earlier.
"Oh, nonsense. You know how much I love to have fun with you guys. Do you want to speak to Kevin?
He''s pretty free right now." Leena then realized that they were already on the road. She wanted to give
Kevin the phone, afraid that Daisy might have some important things to tell him.
"No, it''s alright. See you at the baseter. Tell Kevin to have a safe drive," Daisy said instead. Kevin
had been on duty during the previous Spring Festival, so Daisy felt obliged to go to the army base this
year.
"Sure. See you, Daisy." Leena shed a wide grin at the thought of seeing Daisy soon. They hadn''t
seen each other in quite a while.
"Daisy is going to the base as well?" Kevin asked her with a frown, his eyes on the road. He nned to
let Daisy spend more time with her family, and didn''t expect her to be joining the others that day.
"Yeah, she wanted to ask us to stay home. She didn''t think we would already be heading off." Leena
stared at his face with affection. His fine profile was addicting to her, and she couldn''t get enough.
"That''s fine. The more the merrier." The soldiers wouldn''t expect Kevin and Daisy to celebrate the
festival with them. ''It would be a good night, '' he thought.
Daisy put her phone away and stared at the man in front of her.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" she asked. He would always act a little oddly from time to time.
No matter how much time they spent together, though, she couldn''t get used to it. His eyes were too
piercing, too sharp, as if she werepletely bare and unguarded, as if she had no hold on her secrets
from him at all.
