Chapter 358 Is She Your Daughter-inw (Part Two)


    Holding Daisy''s hands lovingly, Cynthia exined it to her. She knew Daisy was a nice girl; and she felt


    so sorry for her at the same time. Although Cynthia had helped her and Edward a few years ago, she


    didn''t expect she would hurt her by doing that. She had been guilty ever since. Luckily, Daisy and


    Edward finally overcame all the obstacles and fell in love with each other, which made her feel much


    better. ''A good happy ending, '' she thought.


    "Mom, please don''t say that. We''re family, remember? I''m happy to shop with you whenever you like.


    But I have a question, do you and Dad have some misunderstandings with Edward? I feel things are a


    little weird between Edward and his father." In fact, Daisy had asked Edward about this before. But


    Edward simply shook his head and said nothing. Daisy knew he didn''t want to talk, so she didn''t force


    him. She knew everyone had some wounds that were better kept private. It had nothing to do with trust.


    Edward had kept his pain in his heart for so many years. He didn''t want to talk to anyone about this


    when he was little; and as time went by, it became harder to say it out loud. He couldn''t because he


    didn''t even know where to start. The only thing he could do was to run away when anyone stirred


    things up.


    "It''s a long story. You''ve probably noticed how much Jonathan loves me. He sees no one but me, and


    everything else in the world is meaningless to him. That is why he didn''t want me to have children back


    then. But I wanted a child so badly; he eventually agreed. Only one child, and I mustn''t love him any


    less even if I have the baby. This was his requirement I had to agree to if I wanted to get pregnant. He


    said he had to remain the most important person in my life."


    Cynthia paused and sighed heavily. Biting her lip while gazing into space, Cynthia was lost in thought


    for a while. Then she forced a bitter smile at Daisy, had a small sip of her coffee before continuing,


    "Back then, I wanted a baby more than anything; so I agreed without thinking too much. The truth is,


    we didn''t pay enough attention to Edward when he was little and needed our love. Later on,


    considering his safety, we had to send him abroad. He grew up without us by his side, so there isn''t


    much love and care we could ask from him, since it''s all our fault. That''s why he doesn''t want us


    around. He keeps rejecting us reflexively, maybe he still hates us for abandoning him."


    Cynthia had no intention to keep it a secret from Daisy, and she told her the whole story. Daisy was


    Edward''s wife, her daughter-inw; they were families. Even if she didn''t say anything, Daisy would


    find out on her own. But if she told Daisy, maybe she could talk to Edward as his wife, someone he


    would actually listen to. Maybe things wouldn''t get worse if they could heal Edward''s wound in his


    heart.


    Cynthia''s words bruised Daisy''s heart. She felt sorry for Edward. She had always thought Edward had


    a happy childhood since he was born into a wealthy family with nothing to concern him. But he didn''t;


    his childhood was almost as miserable as hers in some ways. But Edward didn''t get desperate; instead


    of being cynical and depraved, he was now a brilliant and sessful businessman. Daisy suddenly


    thought of the way he changed his girlfriends frequently and loved none of them, maybe he was too


    painful and he needed an outlet; he craved love, yet he was scared of being loved. he didn''t love


    anyone before because he didn''t even know how to. Daisy knew it because she was the one who lived


    day and night with Edward. She believed Edward wasn''t the yboy they had pictured on the


    entertainment news.


    "Doesn''t Dad like Edward?" Daisy asked hesitantly with a frown. Was it possible that a father didn''t like


    his own son? Even though Jonathan didn''t want to have a child at first, how could he still be indifferent


    when he saw the new life crying in his arms and growing up beside him? However, she was in no


    position to judge that. She knew that there really were some fathers who just didn''t like their own


    children. Take Leo for an example. Her own father didn''t like her, and he even doubted whether she


    was his real daughter. It pierced Daisy''s heart to think of that. She wondered whether she and Leo


    would someday make peace with each other, and he would love her like he once did. Sadly, Daisy had


    grown disappointed in her own father. After years of struggling, she had given up the idea of going back


    to him.


    "It''s not like that. He loves Edward; he just doesn''t know how to tell him. Also, he doesn''t know how to


    get along with his son. Jonathan loves me, and he loves his son; I guess it''s just a little confusing for


    him. And as time goes by, there is nothing he could do but remain silent. Even though Edward think his


    father doesn''t like him, Jonathan doesn''t know how to exin. That''s why they are acting like this now."


    Cynthia sighed heavily again. If Jonathan was the love of her life, then Edward was the pain of her life.


    She had always been regretting that she wasn''t there for him when he needed her. She never felt sorry


    for anyone or anything for her entire life, except for her own son. Cynthia wished she could have been


    a better mother, but it was all toote now. Whatever she tried to do now, it wouldn''t be enough to


    make it up to Edward since he couldn''t have his childhood back.


    "I think I know how Edward feels. Although he hasn''t said it, I know he doesn''t hate you. He''s just


    confused. He was hurt, but he still loves you. No children in the world will hate their parents, nor will


    they give their parents cold shoulders. He just needs some time to think it through."


    Daisy had been there, so she knew clearly how Edward felt at this moment. She spent many years


    hating her father while hoping he would ept her again as his beloved daughter. She knew how


    painful it was. Thinking of that, Daisy felt sorry for Edward. He was not as strong as she thought, he


    could be hurt as well. And she realized that she was not the only miserable person in the world, since


    everyone had their own crosses to bear.


    "I hope so. Sorry, Daisy. I need to go to the bathroom." Daisy noticed Cynthia''s reddened eyes. Given


    the fact she loved Edward very much, it must have been painful for her to admit how much she owed


    her son. Daisy thought maybe Cynthia needed to be left alone and cry for a while.

    "Okay. Do you want me toe with you?" But Daisy was a little worried about Cynthia. She looked


    devastated. Daisy couldn''t help but think whether she had said something inappropriate or not.


    Although Daisy didn''t approve of how they treated Edward when he was little, it wasn''t her ce to


    judge. She could only say something less blunt from the view of a bystander, and she really hoped she


    could help improve the rtionship between Edward and his parents.


    "It''s fine. I''m not a 3-year-old child. You don''t have to keep mepany. I''ll be back soon." Cynthia


    gave Daisy a tender smile. She felt much better to see Daisy being considerate. She pulled herself


    together and stopped thinking about Edward. She believed what Daisy had said, and she knew things


    would work out between Edward and them as long as she kept trying and never gave


    up.
