Chapter 471: Act cute
To be honest, Daisy Ginger is really taken in by this act.
She succumbs to softness, not hardness.
Looking at his pitiful expression, she got flustered and blurted out words she would regret for life—
"I’ll take you to the hospital."
Edward Stephens’ eyes lit up.
As soon as Daisy said it, she immediately wanted to backtrack: "I..."
"Then I’ll have Ryan Smith prepare the car," Edward took out his phone, not giving her a chance to regret, "You’ll drive, okay?"
"If I leave, what about Elena..."
"With Ryan there, nobody would dare bully her."
"...alright." Daisy reluctantly agreed.
Edward bent his eyes, then lowered his head and gave her a kiss on the cheek, hugging her enthusiastically as he began dialing Ryan Smith on his phone.
Seeing him in such a good mood because of her, Daisy felt that going to the hospital with Edward wasn’t such a big deal—even though surely she was acting out of infatuation.
Soon, Edward had arranged things with Ryan.
Ryan would bring the SUV over for Daisy to drive.
"He’ll take half an hour to bring the car over." The man hung up the phone, lying in bed and holding her, resting his chin on her shoulder, he lazily said, "Stay with me and nap a little longer."
Daisy had her back to him, unable to see his face, but she could feel his shallow breathing on her slender neck.
This feeling was quite unsettling. Daisy shifted slightly and turned her head slightly, locking eyes with the man.
Surprisingly, he was not asleep and was watching her from behind.
Looking into his slightly damp eyes due to the cold, Daisy felt herself getting softened by his gaze. If he asked for anything right now, she’d probably agree thoughtlessly.
She couldn’t help but smile, "What are you looking at?"
"At you."
"What’s so nice to look at?"
He didn’t reply, just curled his lips in a gentle smile, his handsome face carrying a hint of tenderness and amusement.
Daisy felt like her heart was soaked in a pool of spring water, leaving her a bit dazed.
She knew she had feelings for Edward, but after four years of absence, she realized just how terrifying these emotions were.
As long as he smiled softly at her, she felt like she would pluck the stars for him.
Daisy turned her gaze away, reached out, and pressed his eyes shut, "Go to sleep. Ryan will be here soon, and you won’t have time if you don’t sleep now."
Edward refused to close his eyes, his lashes fluttering in her palm like tiny brushes.
The fuzzy sensation tingled right at the tip of her heart.
Daisy couldn’t resist: "...You, go to sleep."
"Do you remember what you called me that night?"
A name she called him?
The memory of that night surfaced in Daisy’s mind.
She was straddling Edward’s waist, tearing open his shirt like a rogue, kissing him all over while coaxing him with "Baby sweetheart."
It was truly the bravery brought on by alcohol, bold out of lust!
Now thinking back, she felt like she could die of regret.
Why did she just have to take advantage of Edward?
And as if that wasn’t enough, she even passed him a severe cold.
Daisy’s ears turned suspiciously red, and she stammered: "...I don’t remember."
Bringing it up now, what is he trying to do! What do you mean by this!
The man grabbed the hand covering his eyes, revealing a pair of innocent and smiling eyes. His eyes were actually more beautiful than hers, naturally alluring, and could easily captivate people with a touch of mist, but his cool demeanor made others hesitate to act recklessly.
