Chapter 1627 Trip To The Beach (Part One)


    "Really? Do I have to answer that question... now?" Edward stole a nce at Justin and hesitated.


    ''There''s a kid here. I don''t think it''s appropriate to discuss this right now, '' he thought to himself.


    "Yes, right now. I want to know," Daisy answered without even a second''s diffidence.


    "Well, Senior Colonel Ouyang, I think the most important thing is our sex life," Edward mumbled in a


    low tone, but his expression remained fixed, denying that he had just discussed something


    inappropriate.


    "Ha-ha!" Justin couldn''t helpughing out loud at Edward''s mumbled words, but he immediately hid his


    wide toothed grin behind hastily raised hands when he saw Daisy''s stern face. He wisely decided to


    keep quiet, otherwise his mother would surely punish him.


    "Mr. Mu, you are such an asshole! How can you even mention that in front of our child?" Daisy


    snapped, her face twitching in surprise. She had always known he was a willful man, but she hadn''t


    expected that he would broach their sex life with their son present.


    "You demanded an answer to your question!" Edward defended himself, looking rather innocent.


    "Really? So, you''ll do whatever I ask you to do? Then, why don''t you do 100 push-ups right now?"


    Daisy said through gritted teeth. She was feeling disarmed by her husband''s innocent defense.


    "Now?" Edward asked in disbelief. He was in full business attire, including leather shoes!


    "You don''t want to do it?" Daisy snorted.


    "Fine! Just 100 push-ups. That''s a piece of cake." Edward began to unbutton his coat. If his employees


    were here, they would never believe their eyes. Their aloof boss was amb, tamed by his wife.


    He shed his coat and briefcase into Daisy''s arms purposefully. Since she asked him to do the push-


    ups, she could carry his stuff.


    "Justin,e sit on your daddy''s back!" Daisy ordered just as Edward dropped down.


    "Great! I love that." Justin was excited at the free piggy-back ride.


    "Wait! Are you trying to murder your husband? You didn''t mention that earlier!" Edward was startled.


    Yes, 100 push-ups meant nothing to him. But if Justin sat on his back while he was doing push-ups, he


    believed he would be challenged, possibly beyond even his limits.


    "I just changed my mind. You did say that 100 push-ups is a piece of cake for you. So, I have to make it


    harder. Otherwise, you won''t learn your lesson," Daisy said with a cunning smile. ''He will be exhausted


    after that, and he will be unable to punish meter, '' she thought to herself.


    "Can I say no?" Frustration was written all over Edward''s face. He hadn''t expected his wife to be so


    cruel.


    "Hmm, what do you think?" Daisy riposted with a sweet smile.


    "Okay, I get it." Edward sighed, summoning up some profound fortitude. He just hoped that Justin


    would behave on his back, otherwise he would bepletely finished.


    "Be quick! I still have some work to finish," Daisy said, purposefully checking the time. Although she


    was secretly thrilled, she remained poker-faced.


    "Mommy, why don''t you leave and finish your business? I will monitor daddy for you," Justin offered


    with a big grin.


    "Sounds good. But I warn you, do not try to employ trickery. I''ll monitor you both." Actually, Daisy didn''t


    really want to be mean to Edward, especially since he hadn''t even eaten yet. If he became resentful, it


    would make her feel wretched. Justin''s offer came as a pleasant solution to the dilemma that faced her.


    She knew the father and son would y tricks after she left, providing Edward a way to save face.


    Edward winked at Justin, signaling him to show mercy on himter.


    "Don''t worry, Mommy. I''ll be a strict supervisor," Justin assured his mother confidently. But furtively he


    nned to clinch a deal with his father as soon as she left. After all, Justin still needed leverage to


    convince his father to take him to the beach.


    Daisy eyeballed Justin and Edward before walking towards the house. As soon as her back was turned


    she entertained a cunning smile without their noticing. She knew they would plot something in secret,


    but she didn''t really mind. After all, women should y dumb sometimes.


    "Kid, thank you!" When Daisy left, Edward began negotiations with his son.


    "Daddy, don''t you think that I''ve been a good boy? Will you please take me to the beach tomorrow?"


    Justin gave Edward a winsome smile, but got straight to the point.


    "Oh no! And here I thought it was unconditional support." Edward was at a loss whether to cry or to


    "Please, please! Daddy, I''ll persuade mommy toe with us," Justin sweetened the pot, with a


    whispered suggestion.


    "Please don''t! I don''t want other men to notice her perfect body." The very thought of other men ogling


    at Daisy in a bikini made Edward emulous. How he wished he could just keep Daisy at home forever.


    He didn''t want to take her to the beach at all.


    "Don''t be silly, daddy! You can ask mommy to wear a conservative swimsuit." Justin rolled his eyes at


    Edward, a mock imitation of Daisy''s mannerisms.


    "Sounds good. Okay. I should probably do some push-ups now. Otherwise, your mommy may cotton


    on and get angry." What if Daisy was monitoring them from the house? Edward decided to do dozens


    of push-ups so that Daisy would not get suspicious or angry.


    Daisy stared out at her beloved husband and son through the French window on the second floor.


    When Edward began to do push-ups, she allowed herself a big grin before going to the study.


    Sometimes, she couldn''t be too serious with her family.


    The next morning, Justin was thrilled as Edward had finally agreed to take him to the beach. Daisy


    joined them as well. She didn''t n to swim, so she didn''t bring her swimsuit. Instead, she was wearing


    a T-shirt and denim shorts, the image of youth and beauty.


    Contrary to what Edward had said, it was not a group of men ogling at Daisy, but a group of women


    who showed great interest in Edward. They winked at him, even though his wife and son were right


    beside him. Daisy didn''t know whether to cry or tough. Was a handsome face all that mattered when


    selecting a partner?


    Thinking about it, Daisy stifled a giggle behind a raised hand, for Edward had in fact captivated her


    heart from their first meeting, because he was so handsome.


    "Honey, are you sure you don''t want to swim with us?" Edward invited her again. Although he didn''t


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.


    want other men to look at her body, he was also afraid that she would feel bored sitting alone.


    "It''s okay. I don''t feel like swimming today. You and Justin go enjoy yourselves." Justin had warned her,


    as part of his maniption to ensure her presence, that Edward would be surrounded by countless


    women. Piqued, she had decided toe with, but it was very hot, and she wished suddenly that she


    had rather stayed in their air conditioned home.


    "You had better keep a close eye on me. Otherwise your handsome husband may be abducted by


    crazy women," Edward cracked a joke, giving her a guileful smile. He was so stunning that many


    women were already stopping to gawk at him.


    "Just go, already! Keep Justin safe." Daisy cast a withering nce at him before she looked around


    casually. She seemed to be enjoying the view, but actually she was observing their surroundings and


    the people in it. Edward was a big shot in S City, and had many enemies; danger could spring from any


    corner.


    "Will do! Try to rx a bit, honey. And watch out fordy-killers!" After saying that, Edward ran towards


    Justin who was ying in the sand. This was a family excursion, and they hadn''t brought a bodyguard


    with them, as they wanted to enjoy the trip without being checked on.


    Daisy''s eyes twinkled at Edward''s words. ''Lady-killers? There''s only ady-killer here, and that is you,


    my dear!'' she thought.


    Daisy reclined on a deck chair, shaded by a beach umbre while she gazed at her husband and son


    affectionately. The moment was filled with contentment, and she considered that she had told Edward


    their rtionship had be stale only the day before. How wrong she had been, for all she really


    wanted was to spend time with her husband and son, forever.


    At times, the ocean was a calm opportunity for refreshment of body and soul, but sometimes, it became


    fatal and restless, offering only danger. Daisy was pulled from her reverie when she saw Edward and


    Justin''s motorboat rushing through the waves. Anxious now, she leaned forward, fearing a mishap was


    eminent. Edward fortunately, was knowledgeable and cautious when their son was concerned.


    Daisy, caught up in the safety of her loved ones, did not notice that many men were staring at her


    instead of the bikini girls. She emanated a unique aura, a charm which people in her presence found


    hard to resist.
