Chapter 379 - 407: Is She Some Kind of Robber Who Breaks into Homes?
Now, between them, he needed to learn how to control this overwhelming possessiveness.
He wished he could keep her locked up in the manor forever, so he could see her every day when he returned home from work, but such a life would only satisfy himself.
It wasn’t until Daisy Ginger jumped off the building that he felt doused with a bucket of cold water, suddenly waking up from this desire.
He wanted to have her, but he was forcing her to death.
He was terribly mistaken.
He was too impatient.
Because of this unequal affection, he became ruthless and restless.
But they were still young, life was so long, sooner or later he could have Daisy Ginger willingly bear children for him, so why rush it?
...
Watching Daisy Ginger’s silhouette disappear into the airport lobby, he forced himself to turn away, no longer looking at her.
If he continued to watch, he feared he wouldn’t be able to resist following her.
*
Daisy Ginger sat in the waiting room, holding a cup of coffee in her hands.
She thought of Edward Stephens’ gentle gaze when he sent her off, and then recalled Robert Stephens’ words in her mind.
[Have you forgotten how Alice Lesser died?]
The coffee grew cold.
Her heart gradually hardened.
She wanted to know how Alice Lesser died, what connection Robert Stephens had, and whether Edward Stephens...
...also had a connection?
Thinking of this, Daisy Ginger couldn’t help but let out a bitter laugh.
She felt that in the eyes of the Stephens family, she was probably just a fool, to be squeezed and manipulated without any recourse.
Under their scrutiny, she couldn’t do anything, and she didn’t know if she could find clues about Alice Lesser’s incident when she returned to Banyan City. But doing nothing, just waiting and watching, was unbearable for her.
It was eight-thirty at night when she flew back from Los Angeles to Banyan City.
Coming out of the airport, Daisy Ginger contacted no one and went directly to the Ginger Residence.
Seeing her appear, the servants of the Ginger Residence were quite surprised. They were stunned for a moment before reacting and coming forward: "Miss, when did you come back? Have you eaten?"
After an eight-hour flight, Daisy Ginger was a bit tired. She saw Emily Ginger sitting on the sofa eating an apple. It seemed that during these days she had been recuperating at home, her life was going well; her skinny face had become much more rosy and tender, making Daisy Ginger unable to resist looking at her a few more times.
Perhaps her gaze was too obvious, causing Emily Ginger to shrink a bit under her scrutiny, then cautiously walked over, stuffing the half-eaten apple into Daisy Ginger’s hand, standing beside with a grievance-filled look.
Daisy Ginger: "..."
Did she think she was some kind of thief?
"Miss!" The butler saw Emily Ginger’s actions and was also startled, hurriedly coming over to smooth things over, retrieving the apple back into Emily’s hand, and leading her aside, explaining to Daisy Ginger with cold sweat, "She... she just likes to be warm and welcoming!"
Daisy Ginger rubbed her temples, not bothering with it, but asked, "Isn’t she getting any better with the treatment?"
"She’s much better now. She can be taken outside to catch some sun, and she doesn’t scream when she sees us, no need for sedatives anymore." The butler said, unable to resist rubbing Emily Ginger’s head, like she was his daughter, his tone softened, "The doctor says she can stop the medication soon, but as for afterwards... no one can say for sure, maybe she’ll be back to normal tomorrow?"
