Chapter 78 I Might Have Stumbled Into A Time Machine


    Leena Leng stroked her t belly. She''d been wandering all day without the slightest intention of going


    home. She snuck back here without telling anyone. But now her big brother might have figured it out.


    Well, screw it. She was not ready to face his anger yet.


    All of this was because of that bloody foreigner. Indeed, he was handsome. He was wealthy. He was a


    romantic Frenchman. But she was also pretty. She was also born with a silver spoon in her mouth. She


    was no worse than the Frenchman.


    She kicked the little garden along the road. And stubbed her toes! Of all the rotten luck! The first day


    she came back, she slept with a man whose face she hardly remembered. She only knew that the man


    had eyes full of sorrow. That''s why she was drawn to him. She was sad and lovelorn too.


    She sat down on the bench beside the road, wondering whether she was really lovelorn. Did she love


    the Frenchman? If she loved him, why did her heart not race when holding his hands? Besides, she


    said "no" to him several times, when he pressured her for sex. Her conservatism drove him away.


    But she was heartbroken the moment they broke up. After all, the French man was the first big boy


    type she fell in love with. He was bright, handsome and, most of all, romantic like any Frenchman.


    That''s what captivated her.


    Leena shook her head. She knew it was toote to think about it again. But why was having sex the


    only way to show love? Her rejection was the reason he left. He said what he wanted was no tonic


    love, but sex. Oh, to hell with that jerk. That''s why she flung herself at that guy in the bar and showed


    him a really good time.


    Edward stared at the traffic jam in frustration. He honked the horn, then leaned back in his seat in


    annoyance. Helplessly he turned around and looked at his passengers.


    "What''s wrong? Traffic jam?" Daisy looked out at the traffic.


    "Yes. It might take a while. It''s my fault. I forget how heavy traffic was about now." What Edward hated


    most was waiting. Normally it was others waiting for him. This was not doing his mood any good.


    "That''s all right. It''s still early. We can eatter." Daisy was always poised, so there was no hint of hurry


    in her cold face, only detachment.


    "Son, how about you? Are you hungry?" Edward looked at Justin and spoke caringly.


    "No. I''m not hungry. It''s okay to wait for a while." But deep down Justin was thinking of dinner. His voice


    sounded a bit low and disappointed. He protested inwardly about the poise of Edward and Daisy. After


    all, he was trying to create a romantic evening for them.


    Edward saw his look and smiled knowingly. He knew that look urred only when Justin''s ns were


    foiled. But Edward didn''t know who he was plotting against.


    Justin saw Edward''s smile and thought, ''I''m plotting against you. Sadly, it didn''t work.''

    Annoyed at the heavy traffic, Edward fantasized abandoning the car. Idly, he nced back at the road


    behind him, when suddenly he spied a slight girl. He thought she was an optical illusion at noon, a heat


    mirage. But now he knew better.


    Edward swerved and parked by the curb. He got out and rushed at the figure sitting on the roadside


    bench.


    Leena noticed a person rushing toward her, and was confused. Was he chasing someone else? No,


    there was no one else around. Oh no! It''s Edward! She leapt from the bench and tried to escape.


    "Leena Leng! How dare you run away?" Edward sported an angry look and spat out those cold and


    threatening words.


    "Um... Edward, well... What a coincidence! What are you doing here?" Knowing there was no escape,


    Leena put on a big smile, trying to please Edward.


    ''Gosh, the odds are against me. If Edward''s here, my brother will be here soon.'' Thest thing she


    wanted was to be lectured by her big brother. Strange that such a cold man could be an expert on


    criticizing others.


    "Yes. What a coincidence. The person that should be in Paris is now in this city." Edward looked at her


    teasingly, wondering what excuses she woulde up with.


    "Wow! That''s strange. I was asleep, but when I woke up, I was here. Edward, I might have stumbled


    into a time machine. Leena acted mysterious, then pressed close to Edward and plunged into his arms.


    Meanwhile, she burst intoughter.


    "That''s so you. You are still so mischievous. That''s themest excuse!" Edward knew Leena was very


    eloquent. She could always conjure up various excuses.


    Daisy''s face went pale. At first, she was just curious why Edward parked the car aside and ran out


    without saying anything. As a soldier, she sensed something had happened, so she followed Edward


    out of the car. When she saw him running to that pretty girl...


    She could tell that girl meant a lot to him. Anyone could see that he looked at this girl with caring and


    loving eyes. Daisy stood there quietly and watched them...at least until that girl fell into Edward''s arms.


    She kept consoling herself that the hug was just a signal of friendship. It represented nothing else. She


    told herself again and again, ''Daisy, you should trust Edward. He will keep his promise.''
