Chapter 391 - 418: It’s Okay, I Can Be Your Lover
Bastard.
She was clearly showing her perfect eight-toothed smile, where was the ugliness in that?

Because she sent a text message to Edward Stephens before going to Robert Stephens, causing him to rush back from a meeting. After dinner, Edward had to make another trip to the office.
In early summer, the evening breeze was a bit cool. Daisy Ginger picked up a light coat and draped it over him.
She stood in front of him, buttoned it up, and then said to him, "Go."
The man looked down at her, seeming to smile a little in his eyes, reaching out to hold her slender wrist, warming it in his palm, "Come with me."
"Why should I go?" Daisy found it a bit amusing, tugging slightly but unable to pull away. She looked up at him, "Okay, let go, I’m going upstairs for a bath."
"Come with me." The man seemed particularly clingy today, holding her hand and refusing to let go, "You don’t have to drive, just sit in the car and watch me."
"Edward Stephens." Daisy called his name, deliberately put on a stern face, signaling him to stop fooling around.
Attending a meeting, bringing along family, what kind of behavior is that?
The man looked at her but still didn’t let go. Daisy stood off with him for a while, and then sighed softly, "Fine... I’ll go buy some snacks, and on the way, I’ll go to the office with you."
She seemed to have found a perfect excuse for herself, and without arguing further, waited for Edward to release her hand. Then she casually tied up her long hair, threw on a light jacket, and went out with him.
Edward glanced down, watching Daisy walk beside him, his gaze sweeping over her fair and delicate profile, then he slightly curved his lips, showing a hint of a smile.
He liked the way she compromised for him.

The headquarters of Stephens Corporation is in the tallest and largest commercial building in the city center.
Based on Stephens Corporation, it has developed a prosperous business district around it.
It’s unimaginable to Daisy how one company can support so many financial firms in the vicinity.
Daisy didn’t go upstairs with Edward. She got out and bought a cup of milk tea from a nearby store, then leaned against the car door, waiting for the man to finish his meeting and come back.
The surrounding lights were bright. Who knows how many people were working overtime? She looked up at the skyscrapers in front of her, and in the giant office building, many lights were still on. Who knows which one belonged to Edward?
That name once brought her endless warmth, but now it had become a mixture of many flavors.
Daisy sipped her milk tea for a while, but couldn’t finish it. She looked around and found a trash can, walked over to throw the cup away, and as she turned around, she almost bumped into a man who had walked up to her.
She took a step back and looked at the Caucasian man in front of her, who was a whole head and a half taller than her. He seemed a bit nervous and stammered in English when their eyes met: "Hi... can I buy you a cup of coffee? I know a café here that’s really good."
"..." Daisy looked at the blushing Caucasian in front of her and raised an eyebrow.
Oh wow, is this... someone hitting on me again?
Being stared at for a moment seemed to make the other person even more nervous. Blushing, he said to Daisy, "I’ve been watching you for a while... are you here alone? I have a car, I can drive you home."
He wore a plaid shirt, looking like an employee from the nearby financial sector. Although tall and big, he had a baby face and seemed shy, blushing under her gaze.
Daisy smiled, "Sorry, I came here in my husband’s car. Also, I’m already married."
"..." The baby-faced man’s eyes suddenly turned gloomy, staring at her face for a long while before making a conflicted decision, "That’s okay, I can be your lover, we can have an affair..."
