Hold On Mr.! Your Sweetheart is a Real Queen

Chapter 446: Little Tadpoles Look for Daddy 2

When Edward Stephens slowly walked over, little Daisy Ginger already had a pink scarf filled with bows, a pair of small black gloves, and a cup of milk tea in her hands, with a steaming flatbread placed next to her.

Even though she was surrounded by a group of women, the child looked unperturbed, her pretty face showing no emotion, as she gazed forward with big, wide eyes.

"The child’s dad is here!"

Because some nosy woman shouted, Edward Stephens paused in his steps as the crowd before him automatically parted, making way for him.

Edward, who had stopped in his tracks, thought: "..."

Are they blind?

His expression immediately darkened as he raised his eyes to look at the child sitting on the bench. The child holding a cup of milk tea, with dark eyes, was also staring at him.

The kid was good-looking, and given the hospitality of running away from home, when Edward found him, Daisy Ginger had already finished a cup of hot milk and eaten a grilled sausage. At this moment, he was about to be taken to the police station by some enthusiastic citizens to look for his parents.

Edward walked over, looked at the child, frowned, and asked, "Where’s Daisy Ginger?"

Upon hearing Daisy Ginger’s name, little Daisy’s face immediately turned cold, and he turned his head without saying a word.

Edward looked at him, frowning, and took out his phone to call Daisy Ginger, but found that he couldn’t get through.

What’s going on? Left her son in Times Square and can’t be contacted? What kind of mother does that?

The sister who bought the hot milk tea for Daisy looked at Edward with a cold face and felt sorry for Daisy. Enthusiastically, she shielded the child behind her and accused Edward, "The child’s dad, how can you leave the child alone outside for hours in such cold weather? No matter how wrong the child is, you can’t do this! What if he gets kidnapped? What kind of dad are you?"

"Yeah, yeah!" A little girl on the side also stood with Daisy, "He just ate a lot, he must be hungry! It’s one in the morning, how can you leave such a young child outside?"

Edward kept his expressionless face: "I’m not his dad."

The crowd looked at his face and then looked at Daisy, simultaneously letting out scornful laughs.

This guy is lying through his teeth!

Edward: "......"

Sure enough, these people are blind!

Surrounded by a bunch of people, he had nothing to say. Since he couldn’t reach Daisy Ginger, he waved his hand and said to Daisy, "Come over, I’ll take you to find your mom."

Daisy, carrying a drawing board, refused to comply upon hearing this. He jumped off the bench and silently walked forward with his milk tea.

Did he run away from home after fighting with Daisy Ginger?

"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and bring the child back! Such an adorable child, if you don’t want him, others do!"

Edward kept a cold face: "He’s not my child."

But he had to follow him.

Daisy walked forward silently, with Edward walking behind him.

The man’s expression was icy, unable to figure out why he was trailing this little kid in the middle of the night, braving the cold wind.

He called Daisy Ginger again, but still couldn’t get through. Frowning, he looked at the little figure not far ahead and called out to him: "Where are you going alone?"

Daisy stopped, looked up at him, and although there was no emotion on his little face, his big eyes were full of sadness. Edward looked at him, and for some reason, felt a bit soft-hearted, softening his tone.

He approached him and asked, "Did you have a fight with Daisy Ginger?"

Daisy lowered his eyes, somewhat sadly nodded, then shook his head.

Seeing that he was dressed thinly, Edward took off his coat and wrapped it around the child.

"I’ll take you home."

As soon as Daisy heard this, he immediately rejected it, coldly turning to leave with his pretty little face.

Edward grabbed him, "You don’t want to go home?"

Daisy nodded.

"If you don’t want to go home, where will you go?" Edward couldn’t help but find it a bit amusing and squatted down to look at the childish little face, "Do you plan to wander about?"

Perhaps hearing the teasing tone in the man’s voice, Daisy pouted and glared at Edward.

This temper, not sure who he learned it from.

Edward reached out and patted his head, "Then you’re staying at my place tonight, alright?" and with that, he could also call the Shelton family.

Daisy looked up at the man’s face in front of him.

With his large, pretty eyes staring at him for a while, he reached out, gently took Edward’s hand, and said, "Don’t call Daisy Ginger."

Edward couldn’t help but want to laugh, so they really did fight, huh?

"OK." He picked the child up from the ground, looking at the child’s solemn and serious face, thinking that his temper wasn’t like Daisy Ginger’s; could it be like the father’s?

James Shelton’s face appeared in his mind, and then he shook his head.

Edward drove back to his current residence.

The housekeeper was startled to see Edward bringing a child back, thinking it was Edward’s illegitimate child.

"Take him to have a bath," Edward instructed, "this is a business partner’s child."

The housekeeper seemed unconvinced and cautiously said, "There are no children’s clothes at home. Should I call someone to buy them now?"

Edward glanced at her cautious expression, unable to decipher what was in her head, and nodded, "Go ahead."

Daisy seemed well-behaved, not very talkative but very stubborn, a quality quite like Daisy Ginger.

Before being taken upstairs by the housekeeper for a bath, he reminded Edward not to contact Daisy Ginger or call her.

This little brat is probably trying to scare Daisy Ginger.

Edward responded, watching the housekeeper carry Daisy upstairs, then sat on the sofa and called the Shelton family, telling them Erin Ginger was with him.

At this moment, James Shelton was nearly frantic, and when news came from the ancestral house that Erin was taken by Edward, he panicked even more.

—How did Erin end up with Edward?

This little rascal moved so fast, deciding to switch dads just like that?

He was almost livid, first calling Daisy Ginger, but unfortunately, this time he couldn’t get through, so he texted her not to worry that he found Erin and then called Edward to thank him.

Edward’s tone was quite gentle, only saying the child was found in Times Square, unwilling to go home, so he brought him back to his place, reassuring him not to worry too much.

Indeed, this man was a good person!

James, feeling both jealous and grateful, expressed his gratitude fervently before hanging up the phone.

In the quiet night, he looked at his darkened phone and inexplicably sighed softly.
