"Oh, are you reluctant to part with me?" Daisy asked. She settled herself completely against his arms. Her slender fingers kept playing with the buttons on his shirt. Under the circumstances, she was a bit like a spoiled little woman who enjoyed the comfort of her husband's affections.

  "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.

  "Honey, are you mad at me?" Edward's eyes narrowed dangerously. He stared fiercely at the cozy little woman in his arms. When did she become so mischievous? She even learned to tease him!

  "No, I'm only describing the facts, " answered Daisy. Now, she was even daring to say no to him! Her attitude clearly showed that she was actually mad at him. Hearing Daisy's reply drove him crazier.

  "It seems you're honest enough despite the cost of upsetting me, " Edward growled. His tone was a bit aggressive. As he spoke, his handsome face slowly loomed over Daisy.

  "Hey, what are you doing?" Daisy gulped, finally feeling a trace of uneasiness. The wicked look on Edward's face made him seem dangerous.

They needed more time before they could reach the same intimacy that other mothers and sons had. Because she was in the same situation, she could really understand his actions. If she was faced with her father, she would do the same thing.

  "Oh! He went to the Mayfly. He said that he has a surprise for you later." Cynthia knew about Jonathan's surprise. But she didn't want to tell Daisy and ruin it. It would be appropriate to let Jonathan tell her himself.

  "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.
