"Ha! Let's see! No matter how invincible you are, you will eventually fail in your mother's hand." Edward smiled at his child after. They were on that heart-warming moment when Luke unexpectedly kicked the brake forcefully. Edward's arm reflexively grabbed his child in haste to protect him from being hit.
"Mr. Mu, are you all right?" Luke quickly turned to check on them. Worry was plastered across his face as he feared that his sudden action hurt the two.
"We are okay. What's the matter?" Edward's initial reaction was to check on Justin to make sure that he was okay. It was only after he confirmed that his son was okay that he turned back to Luke.
"It was Coco. She suddenly stood before our car," answered Luke. He was familiar with the woman since she was one of the most popular film stars. Too bad though that his young Master banned her. Thus, her career kept silent and she hadn't been seen both on TV and in real life. Nevertheless, he still didn't know why she would appear all the sudden.
"What is she doing in front of our house?" Edward slightly frowned. The woman hadn't come to him ever since what he did.
"I don't know. Shall I ask her to go away?" Luke looked at Coco who remained standing before their car. He secretly admired her courage very much. If he had missed on kicking the brakes by a split second, she would have lain on the ground.
"Do you think it will be so easy to dispatch her since she came to find me here in our home?" Edward bit on his tongue as he rummaged his mind for Coco's purpose.
"What should we do then? I can maneuver the car around her. But I don't think that she will stop cornering us." Luke looked at Edward and then looked back at Coco outside the car.
"I'll go to talk to her," decided the handsome CEO as he pushed the car door open.
"Daddy..." Justin was a little confused as the name 'Coco' was new to him. "It's not a big deal. Luke, take Justin home first." It was fortunate that the Mu's house wasn't far from where they were and was only a few steps away.
"Yes, Mr. Mu." Luke also knew that it was not good for Justin to stay here and witness what was about to happen next. He followed Edward's direction and took Justin back home.
"Uncle Luke! Who is that woman? She is pretty. Is she Daddy's old lover?" Those were the first words that Justin came to say soon as he walked out of the car and turned back to where his dad and the lady were. He was watching them without a blink. The woman might not be as beautiful as his Mommy. But it wasn't an exaggeration to say that she was still exceptionally pretty.
"Errr... No. Let's go!" Luke's mouth twitched in anger as he answered. He quickly picked Justin up and walked towards the house. He did not dare to discuss such a sensitive topic with him.
Edward did not come to Coco until he saw Luke and Justin disappear inside the gate. His gaze was suddenly evil when it landed on Coco. However, he did not say anything. All he wanted anyway was to know why she was there.
"You should be happy now, Edward! You evil creature!" Coco went to irrationally attack the man before her after she screamed her pain. She reached out her hand and tried to beat him.
"What are you talking about? Who did I harm?" Edward grabbed her by the wrist and then pushed her away from him.
"Ha ha! Have you harmed too many people that you can't even point out who among them am I here for?" Coco tried to recover her balance as she shot him dagger stares.
"I don't think I've ever done anything bad to others," Edward said, "of course, it would be different though if somebody attempted to hurt me. Thus I don't know who among them do you come here for." Edward dusted his suit off. Coco's touch was nothing but disgusting.
"You were born that way, Edward! You were born evil! Why did you make Jessica expect that you would marry her when you never even had the intention to?" Coco wasn't able to contain her emotions and burst into despair upon remembering what the doctor said about Jessica, who was still on her hospital bed.
"It is better for you to ask Jessica. The agreement was that we would just be sex-partners. We agreed not to fall in love. She has always known it. Tell me, do you think it is meaningful to discuss this with me?" Edward smiled scornfully. He could have almost forgotten how dissolute he had lived his life before if she hadn't just mentioned it.
"Ha ha! Sex and no love? Edward, to tell the truth, I really despise you. How dare you do it when you can't even bear the consequences it might result to. Can you still be called as a man?" Coco was aware that she shouldn't be coming here from the beginning. It was just that it was impossible for her to control her anger whenever she looked at Jessica on her hospital bed.
"Is that so? I have never asked you to think highly of me. It isn't for you to decide if I am a man or not either. Now say it! What is your purpose of coming here?" Edward checked on his watch. The last thing he would want was for his beloved to see the woman before him. He would never want Daisy to get involved with this kind of troubles. Too bad though that fate wasn't on his side that time. Darn it! He saw a Humvee coming to their direction as soon as he lifted his gaze from his wristwatch.
Are you still asking me why I come here? Don't you know it all this time? Are you pretending to know nothing about it?" Coco also spotted the military Humvee approaching them. She might be guilty of wanting to pick a fight with Edward but not with Daisy Ouyang.
How do you expect me to understand something I haven't done?" Edward frowned and sighed. His precious wife shouldn't have come back at this time. Why she was so early today?
"Yes! You didn't hurt her, but she was hurt because of you. Of course, you will be so calm." Coco said as she gritted her teeth. She understood that she couldn't blame everything that had happened today to Edward. Nevertheless, she was mad at him. How could he abandon Jessica after he got tired of her? Had he never considered how Jessica would feel for at least once in his life?
