Daisy stumbled and missed her footing in her state of inebriation when Mark held her and propped her up. All Kevin could do was wear a cold look and frown inwardly. He wanted to be the one standing next to her, the one to hold her steady when she was unstable. Alas, he couldn't. After all, they were in the military now, where a person's demeanor and maintaining the decorum mattered a lot. He didn't care much for his reputation, but he could never risk hers.
Kevin cast a sharp and disdainful glance at the crowd at the table before gracefully standing
Up. As he quietly walked out, his cold look was quite perplexing.
Daisy kept stumbling along the family building on their way back, but Mark held her steady and helped her onto the sofa. All the while, deep down he still felt indignant. 'Why didn't colonel get promoted?' He brewed some tea for her hangover, lest she wake up with a terrible headache the next morning.
"Mark, where is my phone?" She was too busy following Kevin along and had forgotten about her phone. With that question, Daisy began groping around for her phone. She nearly fell on the floor from being too drunk. This startled Mark and he stopped brewing the tea and came over to put her on the bed.
"Colonel, you stay there. I will help you find the phone." Mark found her phone on the table and went back to brew his tea.
When the phone rang, Edward was dealing with the files in his study room. Without looking at the caller ID, he answered the phone, because that was his personal phone and only few relatives knew this number.
"Hi. Justin, are you awake? Justin?" A dazed and slurring voice came when the call got through. Edward checked the caller ID in confusion. Surprisingly, it turned out to be Daisy.
"Justin is asleep. It's Edward." Edward was a bit angry. Daisy had called him, but asked for their son. He didn't know that Daisy was so drunk that she had dialed Edward's number by accident.
"He is sleeping? Hmmm... Even I should sleep now." Delirious as she was, she dozed off on the couch, without even hanging up the phone.
Edward looked at the phone in bewilderment
uburb. Luke trailed him perplexedly. He wondered why Edward had come to the suburb.
At full speed, the car soon arrived at the dorm in the base. But Edward was stopped by a soldier on duty. That was when Edward realized the abnormality of his action. He hadn't even noticed that the address was in the military base. He scratched his head in despondency, upset with his strange and unreasonable behavior. However, since he was already here, he did not want to go back without his doubts clarified. So, he took out the phone and dialed Daisy's number.
"I can't get in. Come and get me, I'm downstairs," he said. Mark had just answered the call when he heard Edward ordering him right away. His voice was even colder than the Colonel's.
Edward hung up without waiting for Mark's answer. Actually, he hung up so quickly because he was afraid of being refused.
Mark rolled his eyes at the phone angrily. This man was bossy. He wondered what he would look like.
Daisy had awoken and thrown up. Mark let her drink the tea to help her sober-up. She didn't
Seem to be able to sleep well. Mark looked at her worriedly, then, slowly went downstairs. His delay was purposeful. After all, her husband hadn't appeared for ages. He meant to play rough to this man. He meant to keep him waiting anxiously downstairs to teach him a lesson. Besides, he was not even certain that this man was indeed the Colonel's husband.
