Chapter 106: But With Who

"Which floor? And which storefront?" Edward was holding his son's hand while on the phone. Luke Luo followed closely behind him.

Daisy replied and hung up, surprised at Edward's speed. He came here so fast, as if he'd driven a rocket!

Edward was immediately the center of attention. He was handsome and tall, elegant and noble. A king among men.

"Daddy, is mommy done shopping yet? She's not going to ask us to shop with her, right?" Justin really disliked going shopping.

"Um... I actually don't know. I think she's done!" Edward paused for a second. He wasn't actually sure about the answer. He had never gone shopping with a woman. He just supplied the money -- anything else was too much trouble for him.

Justin rolled his eyes, annoyed at his father's fib. Didn't he know how tiring it was to shop with a woman?

"Hm! You're killing me dad!" Edward always lost all sense of reason when it came to his mom. Justin would end up a collateral victim.

"Hey! It's not that bad kiddo." Edward said, smiling at his son's pouty face. Edward said, smiling at his sons pouty face.

"You wish! Don't say I didn't warn you! Women are insane when they go shopping." Justin spoke as if he had seasoned knowledge of women.

"How do you know that? Do you always go shopping with mommy?" Edward was genuinely curious.

"Not really. Mommy doesn't like going shopping. But you see it all the time on TV. The men have it bad in those shows. They have to carry bags and pay for everything. It's scary just thinking about it."

Justin shivered playfully. His horrified expression made Edward laugh out loudly, which also drew everyone's attention, including Daisy's. They were all staring at the pair, wondering what could make Edward drop his usually collected demeanor.

The first reaction came from those counter clerks.

"Hello, Mr. Mu." Mr. Mu had never come to the mall. The girls had only met him in the yearly company gathering. Why did he suddenly come today?

"Mm hm, " Edward nodded and didn't say anything else. He let go of Justin and marched to where Daisy was standing. He draped his arms around her, and gave her a gentle kiss.

No one had ever seen Edward do this before. Belinda's mouth twitched in surprise. She hadn't thought Edward would do public displays of affection.

"My dear wife, which ones do you like?" All the clerks stood there, stupefied. When did their CEO marry? And the bride was right in front of them, whom they had totally ignored. Now they were worried about their future.

Daisy turned red. She glared at Edward before walking towards Belinda and Justin, who were staring at each other.

"Justin, what are you doing? This is Aunt Belinda." Their expressions made Daisy feel surprised. What was wrong with these two? Was there a grudge between them? Why were they scowling at each other?

"Hi, Aunt Belinda." Behind his soft and young voice was his confusion with Belinda. Their intense gazes met. The two got into a staring contest, all tense and coiled up.

"So you are Justin! You look like an annoying child!" Belinda wasn't actually staring at Justin. She was only a little too surprised when she saw the kid. He was just the most adorable thing in the world! Simply the cutest.

"Huh? What?" Justin looked up at Daisy. This was not normal. Who would tell someone that he is annoying right in front of him?

"You do make me annoyed, though! I feel annoyed because I can't take you home. I hate it that you're not my baby." Belinda smiled and didn't find her words inappropriate.

"My dear sister-in-law, you think Justin's cute, too!" Leena walked over to Justin, with a sly look in her eyes. Justin backed up. He was not coming for trouble.

"He is cute!" "So are you going to have a baby of your own?"

All Belinda cared about now was the little boy in front of her. She didn't notice that Leena's calling her "sister-in-law" again. Leena continued to bait Belinda. Her smile looked more and more mischievous.

"Of course! But with who?" Daisy was speechless. What was Belinda doing? Why was she going along with this all of a sudden?

"Relax, my sister-in-law. Mr. Cold's fantastic genes are still available! He can give you a kid even more adorable than Justin." Leena's grin was even wider now, considering that Belinda was going along with her ribbing.

Edward didn't expect to see Leena here. He could see what Leena was doing a mile away, and Belinda fell into it. He thought the woman was smarter than that. Who'd have thought that she would fall into Leena's trap?

"Mr. Cold, huh? Doesn't sound bad." Belinda tilted her head and thought for a second. Then she thought of Duke's cold face and she snapped out of it.

"Hey! Leena, you little punk! You dug me into a hole when I was distracted. Do you want to get whipped?" Belinda scowled at Leena as if she wanted to cut her into little pieces.

Edward burst out laughing. How could she be so slow? Mr. Cold had no fear of a boring life definitely. He saw how Duke when he stared at Belinda last night. He looked like a fox who just spotted its Prey...
