Chapter 1773 A Second Child For Daisy (Part Three)


    "Alright then," Daisy sighed. "I''ll find out eventually. Dismissed." Daisy turned on her heel. She had


    nned to keep the news from themander for a while, but it now seemed impossible.


    "See you," Kevin replied. "It''s probably nothing serious," heforted her, trying to stay positive. ''If she

    didn''t let themander know, then who told him?'' he thought secretly.


    "I hope so. See you soon," Daisy said, walking powerfully yet numbly away, as if she was heading off to


    war.


    It amused Kevin to see how nervous she became and he couldn''t helpughing behind her back. After


    she disappeared from sight, he went back to his office and got down to work. His schedule needed to


    be reshuffled since Daisy was pregnant.


    "Good morning, Commander. You wanted to see me?" Daisy entered themander''s office and


    greeted him with a smile. Not knowing what themander wanted from her, she was quite on her


    guard, as much as she tried to hide it.


    "Oh, Daisy! Come in and grab a seat," themander said, a beaming smile on his face, just like


    every other time he saw Daisy.


    "Thanks, Commander. I''d better stand and receive orders," Daisy replied. She thought it a must to mind


    her manners before figuring out why themander had asked her toe.


    "Ugh. So polite! You''d probably get tired standing there. You don''t want to wear yourself out, especially


    now," themander insisted. Now it was clear that he did know something about her pregnancy, and


    Daisy had read between the lines.


    "Don''t worry,mander," she said. "So what do you need?" Daisy went straight to the point. She


    wanted to get this over with as soon as possible, rather than continue to beat around the bush.


    "Patience, patience," themander replied, still with his kind smile. If Edward hadn''t called and told


    him about the news, he wouldn''t have known that she was pregnant even now.


    "I''m always like this, you know," Daisy mumbled.


    "So is it true? You''re pregnant?" themander asked. He wasn''t in the mood to keep her guessing


    anymore. For all he knew, she might very well lose her temper if he didn''t ask her straight up.


    "Wow, you''re really well-informed, Commander," Daisy said with a mysterious smile. "Mind telling me


    how you found out?" she asked, raising an eyebrow. To be honest, she had already figured out the


    answer before she asked, but she wasn''t one to jump to conclusions. She also wanted to see if she


    could charm the answer out of the old soldier.


    "Why? You want to mess with my intelligencework?" themander asked a bit seriously. He knew


    she was going to ask, so he decided to put his foot down and show his authority. After all, Edward had


    requested that he not give him away in any case. She might try to pump the full story out of him if he


    wasn''t firm enough.


    "That''s okay, I think I already know," Daisy said with a grimace. "So, how would you deal with it?" she


    asked, biting her lip. She was getting angry, not at themander, of course, but at Edward.


    "Deal with what? The one-child policy has been canceled, and you can have a second child," the


    but he still tried to y it off and keep his word to Edward.


    "That''s not what I''m asking, Commander. Let me put it this way: Have you reassigned my important


    tasks to somebody else?" Daisy asked in a firm tone. That was the only reason she coulde up with


    for why Edward informed themander. He wanted her to take no part in any more dangerous


    missions.


    "Don''t worry. We all know how strong and capable you are. But think of your child. Dangerous missions


    are off the table as far as you''re concerned." Themander spat it out since Daisy came right to the


    point. Other than helping Edward, he thought it necessary, too. After all, bad things could happen if


    Daisy got hurt or overexerted herself, which was thest thing he wished to see.


    "No, Commander. I know how far I can go. I can do my job well even if I''m pregnant. Trust me," said


    Daisy firmly, trying to convince him. She was never a delicate woman, nor was she weak. Surely she


    would not shrink from her responsibilities this time since she had still carried out missions when she


    was expecting Justin.


    "I never doubted your abilities. But missions aren''t meant for pregnant women, Daisy," themander


    said softly. He turned his powers of persuasion on her, not only for Edward''s sake, but also to avoid the


    possibility that the public might think their army forces as unsympathetic and inhuman to force a


    pregnant woman to work beyond her abilities.


    "Alright, I get it. But this isn''t over, Commander. I''m here to work, not sit on my ass," Daisy said tly.


    She gave him a standard salute before walking out of the room without a word.


    ''Hope Mr. Mu won''t get in too much trouble, '' thought themander as Daisy closed the door.


    Edward was in the middle of an important meeting when Daisy called. Without a second thought, he left


    those top managers behind and left the room to answer the phone. For him, it was okay to keep them


    waiting, but it was a terrible crime not to answer his wife''s call at once.


    "Hey, honey! What''s up?" Edward asked most affectionately. But it seemed that his honeyed words


    were not enough to quell Daisy''s raging fury.


    "You jerk! What did I tell you about not interfering with my work? Why did you call themander and


    tell him I am pregnant?" Daisyshed out at him at once. She was now incandescent with rage.


    "So...he told you all about it?" Edward asked gingerly, tilting the phone away from his ear. He couldn''t


    remember thest time she sounded so angry. It was obvious that she was as mad as a wet hen.


    "He didn''t have to tell me, I knew it was you!" Daisy snapped. She would definitely have thrown him to


    the floor violently if he stood in front of her now.


    "I didn''t say anything! I just...well...told him the good news," Edward flinched, holding the phone a bit


    further away from his ear, in case he would lose his hearing in another rain of curses.


    "Ugh! You -- You -- Tell him the good news, huh? You got themander to do everything you want


    simply by sharing the good news? You''re really something, Edward," she said crossly. She was so


    angry not because she wanted any glory, but because she had put hours and hours of work in the


    preparation for both the military exercise and the National Day parade. Now she felt so bad, knowing


    she had to quit those events halfway through.


    "Calm down, honey. Remember the baby," Edward said imploringly. He knew she wouldn''t take it well.


    That was why he reminded themander repeatedly not to say anything about how he knew about


    her pregnancy. He didn''t expect her to find out about it so soon.


    "Stop preaching. And don''t you dare mention the baby!" Edward hadmitted the cardinal sin of


    trying to calm someone down -- don''t tell them to calm down. Daisy hung up the phone as soon as she


    finished speaking. She wanted to dash the phone to the floor but fortunately retained enough sense to


    settle for forcibly throwing it onto the sofa. Luckily, she didn''t lose her head in anger like others.


    "Wait, honey! Honey?" Edward was stunned when silence greeted him at the other end. He knew that


    he was doomed this time, stirring up a ho''s nest. Rubbing his eyebrows, he tried to think of a way


    to make it up to her before going home today.
