My Wife is an Aloof Beauty

Daisy had made an appointment to see Tom. Since she and Edward decided in the end to keep the baby, she needed a prenatal exam. Besides, the pregnancy still needed to be confirmed.

"Welcome to my hospital, Daisy," Tom said impishly when he saw the two. He made all the preparations for the examination and had been waiting for them. Although Daisy's belly was still flat, Tom squinted at it with a smile fraught with meaning.

"Stop teasing!" Edward said exasperatedly, glaring at the grinning doctor and preventing him from saying anything else that might embarrass his wife.

"Sorry about the surprise." Daisy laughed it off. Being with Edward for all this time, she found that she had grown a thick skin, and got quite used to this kind of banter. It would take a lot to embarrass her now.

"No need to apologize, really. You should be happy," Tom replied in a mock serious manner. Having been scolded by the bossy Edward, he tried to behave himself and mind his words. After all, loose lips really could cause trouble, especially under the very nose of a guy like Edward. He'd joked around before, and gotten black eyes and bloody lips for his trouble. Tom knew that Edward could go as far as skinning him alive if he continued messing around.

"Everything ready?" Edward asked sharply. Wherever he went, whatever he did, he would act like a mighty king, who didn't like to be kept waiting.

"Of course. Who do you think I am, anyway?" Tom was grinning from ear to ear. "Follow me, Daisy." He then gestured politely, inviting Daisy to go with him. He led her all the way to the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, had a few words with the department director, and checked in with Edward before making sure she'd have the best care.

"Why do I have to wait outside? Can't I go with her?" Edward complained sulkily seeing Tom come back.

"Why? Who's the doctor here, anyway? And who's the patient? You don't fit in either category," Tom responded in a teasing tone. Although he s

nthia. She, too, was tickled pink to know that she was going to have another grandchild. She was sad that she didn't have the opportunity to watch Justin grow up. Now when she was told that she still had a chance, she just couldn't wait to come home and hear it from Daisy.

"Mommy, mommy! Is it true? So daddy wasn't just making an assumption last time, he was telling the truth, right? I'm really going to have a sister?" Justin asked expectantly before Daisy could ever answer Cynthia's question. He quickly ran over to Daisy and hugged her, as if trying to embrace his future sister. Daisy stood there, not knowing what to do or say.

"Well.." she stuttered. At this point, she was torn between laughing and crying. She was a senior colonel, and she had no problem giving orders or even dressing down a soldier. But now she found herself lost for words for the first time, and could only give an embarrassed smile instead.

Jonathan had been watching from nearby. Though his attitude had softened a lot over the years, he still wore a poker face. So unlike Cynthia or Justin, he had only given Daisy a thoughtful look without saying a word.

"Come down here and let me take a good look at you, Daisy," Cynthia said, smiling kindly. She was almost as excited as Edward, and couldn't take her eyes off her daughter-in-law.
