"Of course not. Once you leave my side, I can invite beautiful women for a meal." Edward deliberately teased her. But his eyes were full of love when he looked at Daisy. The meaning behind his gaze was completely different from his words.
"Then we'll be even. In the military base, there is no shortage of handsome men." Listening to Edward's words gave Daisy joy. The man was really surprising. She used to think that he was a stiff and boring man, but the appropriate banter between husband and wife was enjoyable.

If she was faced with her father, she would do the same thing.

"Oh, I wonder what it is..." Daisy trailed off and immediately dropped the question. If Cynthia told her now, it wouldn't be a surprise anymore.
As for the Mayfly, Daisy just found out about its existence a few days ago. It was also then that she understood why Edward had to be sent abroad when he was a little child. After all, Jonathan and Cynthia just wanted to protect him. In the beginning, it was all right. Edward was just a little boy at that time. But it was a bit cruel to make him stay abroad on his own.
