Chapter 441: Could it be a secret crush on me?
"Bang!"
The shrimp that was being peeled fell to the ground.
What should I do now?
He didn’t do anything, so why is this guy so hostile towards him?
Could it be that he’s too handsome?
"I’m going to the bathroom."
To avoid having nightmares tonight, James Shelton made an excuse and left.
Daisy Ginger was feeding Erin while pondering how to take him away, completely oblivious to James Shelton’s odd behavior.
Swinging around with the child in front of his father, she wasn’t that bold.
When Erin finished eating, Daisy leaned closer and whispered to Christopher Woods, "I’ll take Erin to wash his face. Can you help me tell Grandpa?"
Christopher glanced at the sticky little kid nestled in Daisy’s arms, his face full of grease paint. He was obedient in her embrace, looking nothing like his cold self at home.
He acts one way outside, another way at home, truly worthy of being this woman’s child.
"Elder Shelton is chatting with Edward. Don’t make any noise, just leave quietly."
Having Daisy’s family of three come was actually Elder Shelton’s way of expressing gratitude to Edward Stephens. Now that Edward had accepted, there was no problem if she left. After all, too many people knowing about the underwater tunnel project wasn’t good.
Christopher took it upon himself, and Daisy, holding Erin, thanked him gratefully.
"Then can you inform Grandpa for me? I’m heading out first."
Christopher nodded slightly in response.
With Erin in her arms, Daisy quietly tiptoed out towards the door.
Christopher, who had been sitting upright, suddenly felt a cold gaze fall upon his back, freezing his blood and making all his muscles tense as he dangerously looked towards the source of the stare.
He then met Edward Stephens’s cold, deep, black eyes that were as cold as jade.
He...?
Christopher was momentarily stunned, instinctively releasing his hostility. Elder Shelton, seeing Edward staring at Christopher, immediately introduced him, "This is the son of my comrade, Christopher Woods, Mr. Stephens..."
Before Elder Shelton could finish the introduction, Edward Stephens already stood from his chair, adjusted his cuff, and said in an indifferent voice, "Let’s end our chat here for today."
There were no emotions visible on his face, but Elder Shelton sensed a bit of displeasure from his tone.
What happened?
Weren’t they just getting along fine?
Elder Shelton was momentarily taken aback by his capriciousness, but Edward gave him an out, his tone softening, "About the underwater tunnel, I’ll visit next time. I’m not feeling well today, my apologies."
Hearing his tone, Elder Shelton knew the contract was almost certainly secured.
With this contract, the Shelton family could thrive for at least three generations, no matter what, thanks to the Tsing City underwater tunnel project in collaboration with the government.
He couldn’t help but smile broadly, instructing Christopher, "Little Chris, escort Mr. Stephens back, and remember to drive slowly."
Edward Stephens said no more and headed towards the exit.
Christopher quickly followed.

Daisy washed Erin’s face, and upon coming out, she saw James Shelton squatting by the sink smoking.
What was up with him? He ran out even faster than she did! How utterly spineless.
Daisy walked over and kicked him lightly with her toe, saying irritably, "What are you doing hanging around here? You left me and Erin alone in the private room, shame on you!"
James Shelton was startled upon seeing her, "Why did you come out too?"
"I..."
Before Daisy could finish, James excitedly said, "Did that guy Edward also glare at you? Damn, that young guy must have issues, he kept looking at me for no reason. Maybe he has a crush on me!"
