Chapter 472: Pretend to be pitiful
At the moment, because of the cold, her eyes were moist and seemed to melt the ice beneath, revealing a damp and alluring undertone.
Even more alluring than that night when he was pinned under her.
Daisy Ginger involuntarily swallowed, noticing a hint of amusement in his eyes. She immediately realized what foolish thing she just did and tried to yank her hand back from the man’s palm, only to have it gently grasped by him.
"What did you call me that night? I remember everything." He lowered his thick eyelashes, holding her fingertips with just the right pressure. The touch felt like it was directly on her heart, making Daisy feel her chest tightening and loosening, as if she couldn’t breathe.
She felt like a scoundrel caught after a one-night stand, now being demanded to take responsibility.
What troubled her more was that she was quite taken by Edward Stephens!
Even though she knew he was a big bad wolf playing pitiful, seeing him blink innocently made her heart soften, unable to speak harsh words.
The bottom line was that this man’s strategies had advanced!
Edward Stephens saw her blushing and speechless, so he stopped pressing her. He chuckled softly, pulled her into his arms to hold face-to-face, and then contentedly closed his eyes.
Soon, he fell asleep in the warm covers.
Daisy also felt drowsy until there was a knock on the door from outside.
After hesitating a bit, Daisy looked at the peacefully sleeping man and decided not to wake him, carefully lifting the blanket and getting out of bed.
She slipped on Edward Stephens’ slippers and went to open the door.
Ryan Smith stood in front of her, holding car keys. When he saw her, he frowned a bit unhappily, "Why is it you?"
"Why can’t it be me?" Daisy didn’t give him a pleasant look either, holding out her hand and motioning for him to give her the keys, "He’s asleep now, could you not talk so loudly?"
"..." Ryan frowned, seeming a bit unconvinced, "He’s going to the hospital later, are you driving?"
Daisy: "Would it be you otherwise?"
"..." He had accompanied Edward Stephens for days without convincing him to see a doctor, but Daisy managed to in just one morning. He was not satisfied!
"Stop babbling and give me the keys," Daisy said impatiently, "If you keep whining, you’re going to wake him up."
"... Can you drive an SUV?"
"I can even drive a tank."
Daisy snatched the car keys, looked at Ryan, thought of something, and warned, "Don’t lay a hand on our Elena, she’s not in your league!"
Ryan chuckled, hands in pockets, lifting his chin slightly, sneering, "I’m single, she’s single, do I need to report to you if I pursue a girl? Does your company have a contract against office romance?"
"Who’s talking about romance with you?" Daisy frowned, looking at Ryan whose face screamed player, feeling disgusted, "Just don’t mess with Elena, or I’ll deal with you."
"..." Ryan sneered internally.
With you and Edward Stephens gone, who knows when you’ll be back, and Elena left to me? She’s just waiting for me to mold her. By then he might even taste rabbit meat.
Tsing City is such a boring place. It’s rare to find such a fitting little rabbit; it’d be foolish not to eat.
Ryan didn’t take Daisy’s words seriously.
