Chapter 737: Green Eyed Monster (part two)

"Hello," Daisy answered as she walked out of the restaurant with Zemo. She didn't expect Edward to call her.

"It's me. What time will you come home? I'll pick you up." Edward shoved one hand in his trouser pocket while he held the phone in his other hand. He spoke calmly, trying to hide his anxiety.

"We've already left the restaurant. I'm actually on my way back now. You don't need to come over. Zemo will drive me back." While Daisy spoke to Edward over the phone, Zemo opened the door of the car for her. Daisy got inside gracefully. Zemo invited her to have some tea, but she refused politely because it was getting late. More importantly, Edward was waiting for her worriedly.

"Okay. Be careful on the way. I'll wait for you at home." Despite his mixed feelings, Edward was consumed with envy. It turned out that he wasn't as generous as he appeared to be.

"Okay. I'll be back soon." Daisy waited for Edward to hang up the phone as she had promised. She knew it wasn't fair, but she kept her word. Edward sighed longingly before hanging up. Thinking that he had to beat Zemo in terms of looks, he walked to the bathroom and tidied up his appearance in the mirror to make sure he looked flawless. With a confident smile, he walked out and went downstairs.

Mr. Mu, are you going out?" Just as Edward entered the garden, Luke quickly appeared in front of him.

"No. I just want to take a walk. Don't follow me." Edward felt a bit embarrassed about his intentions. He evaded Luke's gaze to try and hide his thoughts.

Okay. If you want to go out, please let me know. I'll go arrange your schedule for tomorrow." Luke's job was no picnic. Not only was he responsible for the safety of the Mu family, he was also in charge of the security of the FX International Group.

"Okay. I'm fine here. Go on with your work." Although Edward didn't know when Daisy would be back, he couldn't wait to come to the front courtyard to wait for her. But he was afraid of attracting the attention of the servants, so he pretended he was outside for a walk. Despite his best efforts, the servants noticed him. He never went out for a walk at this time.

Edward looked good no matter what he wore. Even the simple and casual clothes he was wearing made him look handsome.

He craned his neck to peer outside, but he didn't see any car approaching. He began to get a little impatient. Curious about what he was looking at, the bodyguards looked at the intersection leading to the villa. When they saw a car finally approach, they realized that Edward was waiting for his wife. They looked at each other in amusement.

"Okay, this is it. Thank you, Zemo. Although you're my guest, you had to bring me home." As soon as the car stopped, Daisy turned to apologize to Zemo. She didn't notice the handsome man leaning against the door nearby.

"Don't mention it. It's my pleasure to drive a beautiful woman home." Zemo looked at the luxurious villa as he talked to Daisy. He had seen Edward at the door, but he didn't greet him. Instead, he shot him a challenging look.

Edward flashed a wicked smile. He waited patiently for Daisy who was smiling brightly and seemed oblivious to his presence. He chose to ignore Zemo's provocation.

Feeling someone's eyes on her, Daisy turned around. When she caught Edward's eye, she felt her heartbeat quicken. Realizing that Edward must have been waiting for her for a long time, she hurriedly opened the door and got off the car with a flushed face.

"What are you doing here?" Daisy walked up to Edward and looked up at him. She didn't expect him to wait for her at the door, so she was surprised to see him there.

"Why, don't you want to see me?" Edward reached out to gather Daisy in his arms. Ignoring everyone else present, he sealed her lips with a passionate kiss. It wasn't until Zemo cleared his throat that he reluctantly pulled away. But he kept his arms wrapping tightly around Daisy's waist. Daisy felt herself blush.

Mr. Ling, we meet again." Edward raised his eyebrow and looked at Zemo arrogantly.

"Mr. Mu, I'm sorry for keeping Daisy out so late. You must have waited a long time for her." Instead of retreating, Zemo looked Edward directly in the eye.

"Indeed, absence makes the heart grow fonder. Daisy was out for a few hours. I missed her a lot. In any case, thank you for bringing my wife back safe and sound. It seems you're a dutiful driver."

Hearing Edward's words, Daisy flushed a deeper shade of red. She didn't expect Edward to say such embarrassing things to her friend. Mortified, she was at a loss with what to do.

"It's the proper thing to do. I really don't mind being Daisy's driver." Zemo kept a pleasant expression on his face, remaining graceful despite the jibe. Those who weren't familiar with him would think that he was a gentle person, but people who knew him well knew that it was just one of his sides.

"Thank you for taking care of my wife. I'm greatly honored as her husband." Edward smiled deviously. If looks could kill, Zemo would be dead on the spot.

"You're welcome. I did it for Daisy. I didn't really consider anyone else." Zemo was an experienced businessman who had been in the business for years. He wouldn't be defeated so easily. Since Edward regarded him as a rival, he was going to fight back.

That's enough! All you men are the same. Why can't you talk to each other nicely? You always have to give tongue-in-cheek remarks. Isn't it exhausting?" Daisy glared at them disapprovingly. She didn't understand why they were so hostile to each other.

"Don't say that. There's a big difference between the two of us." Edward touched his nose and narrowed his eyes at Zemo. He was definitely different from Zemo. The other man didn't have such a beautiful wife. He didn't want to be like him.

"I'm nothing like him." Zemo looked at Edward in disgust. He didn't like Edward either.

"Zemo, do you want to come in for some tea?" Unable to bear their barbed remarks any longer, Daisy changed the topic.

"No, thanks. I have to leave now. Maybe next time. Bye, Daisy." Zemo refused with a smile. He had to admit that Edward was a big shot. Since he was unfamiliar with S City, he didn't know much about what kind of person he was. Since Edward could afford such a spacious mansion, he was definitely not a man to be trifled with.

"Okay. Be careful on your way home. Please come over and have dinner with us some other time. Goodbye." Daisy pinched Edward's waist, hoping he would let her go, but Edward didn't react. Daisy could do nothing but pout at him.

Zemo wave goodbye before driving away. Through the rear view mirror, he stared at Daisy who was snuggled up against Edward's shoulder. It was his greatest hope for Daisy to be happy.

Come on let's go in. He's already gine, Edward said sullenly. He realised Daisy from his embrace and walked away.

Edward, tell me are you jealous? Daisy followed Edward inside. Edward was obviously jealous. He was affectionate of her in front of Zemo, but he became indifferent after the other man left.

No. Why would I be jealous? Edward stormed off. His handsome face had anger clearly written all over it. Je didn't know how to blow off the steam.
