"Hello, " Daisy answered as she walked out of the restaurant with Zemo. She didn't expect Edward to call her.
"It's me. What time will you come home? I'll pick you up." Edward shoved one hand in his trouser pocket while he held the phone in his other hand. He spoke calmly, trying to hide his anxiety.
"We've already left the restaurant. I'm actually on my way back now. You don't need to come over. Zemo will drive me back." While Daisy spoke to Edward over the phone, Zemo opened the door of the car for her. Daisy got inside gracefully. Zemo invited her to have some tea, but she refused politely because it was getting late. More importantly, Edward was waiting for her worriedly.
"Okay. Be careful on the way. I'll wait for you at home." Despite his mixed feelings, Edward was consumed with envy. It turned out that he wasn't as generous as he appeared to be.
"Okay. I'll be back soon." Daisy waited for Edward to hang up the phone as she had promised. She knew it wasn't fair, but she kept her word.
Edward sighed longingly before hanging up. Thinking that he had to beat Zemo in terms of looks, he walked to the bathroom and tidied up his appearance in the mirror to make sure he looked flawless. With a confident smile, he walked out and went downstairs.
"Mr. Mu, are you going out?" Just as Edward entered the garden, Luke quickly appeared in front of him.
"No. I just want to take a walk. Don't follow me." Edward felt a bit embarrassed about his intentions. He evaded Luke's gaze to try and hide his thoughts.
"Okay. If you want to go out, please let me know. I'll go arrange your schedule for tomorrow." Luke's job was no picnic. Not only was he responsible for the safety of the Mu family, he was also in charge of the security of the FX International Group.
"Okay. I'm fine here. Go on with your work." Although Edward didn't know when Daisy would be back, he couldn't wait to come to the front courtyard to wait for her. But he was afraid of attracting the attention of the servants, so he pretended he was outside for a walk. Despite his best efforts, the servants noticed him. He never went out for a walk at this time.
Edward loo
idn't want to be like him.
"I'm nothing like him." Zemo looked at Edward in disgust. He didn't like Edward either.
"Zemo, do you want to come in for some tea?" Unable to bear their barbed remarks any longer, Daisy changed the topic.
"No, thanks. I have to leave now. Maybe next time. Bye, Daisy." Zemo refused with a smile. He had to admit that Edward was a big shot. Since he was unfamiliar with S City, he didn't know much about what kind of person he was. Since Edward could afford such a spacious mansion, he was definitely not a man to be trifled with.
"Okay. Be careful on your way home. Please come over and have dinner with us some other time. Goodbye." Daisy pinched Edward's waist, hoping he would let her go, but Edward didn't react. Daisy could do nothing but pout at him.
Zemo waved goodbye before driving away. Through the rearview mirror, he stared at Daisy who was snuggled up against Edward's shoulder. It was his greatest hope for Daisy to be happy.
"Come on, let's go in. He's already gone, " Edward said sullenly. He released Daisy from his embrace and walked away.
"Edward, tell me, are you jealous?" Daisy followed Edward inside. Edward was obviously jealous. He was affectionate with her in front of Zemo, but he became indifferent after the other man left.
"No. Why would I be jealous?" Edward stormed off. His handsome face had anger clearly written all over it. He didn't know how to blow off steam.
