Chapter 275: Not To Provoke Daisy (part one)

"I'm going back to the military base and I won't come home till the time this is solved, " said Daisy in a cold voice. She looked at Edward, with raised eyebrows. Daisy had waited to be with him for years. She tried hard to make Edward fall in love with her. But things seldom went her way, and something always seemed to come in their way.

"No. I won't let you go. No matter what she has told you, I can explain it to you. Please come home with me." Edward was adamant not to let her go back to the military base. He remembered how he missed Daisy with every passing minute when she was away on the mission of military exercises. He couldn't fall asleep at night. All he wanted now was to hold her in his arms and feel the tenderness of her warm body and enjoy the sweet aroma that only belonged to her. She was standing in front of him, how could he possibly let her go?

Jessica's face grew pale. She was stunned to see that the arrogant Edward was behaving so humbly and was begging Daisy. She felt envious that he wasn't doing this for her. 'I want to chop that bitch off. Edward, you are so cruel to me. Even if you don't love me anymore, please don't display your love and care for another woman in my presence. Do you realize what you're doing to me? You're driving me nuts!' Jessica thought.

"Edward, do you really love her that much? And are you willing to give up your dignity and self-esteem just to please this woman? What about me and our child? Do you really want to abandon us?" Jessica muttered. She believed that Edward still loved her. No matter how bad Edward treated her, she kept telling herself that it was fake. He still had a place for her in his heart, although now he was bewitched by another woman. He had lost his senses and that was why he ignored her. One day he would come back to her. But this time, she felt that she was totally invisible to him. Did this mean that she should face the reality now? Jessica wondered.

"Jessica, I warned you not to provoke Daisy. It seems that you forgot that. Do you want me to help you remember it? En-huh!" Edward shifted his focus from Daisy to Jessica. His tender eyes immediately became stern and rigid. He hadn't expected that Jessica would contact Daisy, and more surprisingly, she came here even before he knew that Daisy was back from H City. She had gone all out to make it happen, Edward thought.

"But why? Why are you so cruel to me? Edward, you are such a ruthless man. Have you given any thought to me and your unborn child?" Jessica groaned with distress. Although she was terrified by Edward's cold look, she was feeling desperate and was about to break down when she realized that he had no feelings for her and her child.

Haha... As to the child, I have forgotten about it if you didn't bring it up. I maintain that it has nothing to do with me. So please don't impose the false allegations on me. I can't take the blame for something which is not my doing, " Edward said while shaking his index finger. There was a cunning smile on his face. 'Huh! How could she be so brazen to say that she has only had sex with me! If this is true, then how to explain the child in her womb? Don't rant about some unexpected surprise. This is impossible. I'm sure of it, " Edward thought.

"Edward, how can you be so sure that this child is not yours? Do you realize that when you say this, you are indicating that I had an affair with another man behind your back? Am I a tramp in your eyes? You know that I have only been with you all my life." Jessica was a little hesitant while uttering the last sentence. But she ground her teeth and decided to say it. She suddenly remembered what happened on that decadent night. She didn't expect it to happen. She was totally drunk and that was also because of Edward. If there was someone to be held responsible, it was definitely Edward. If he had not told her that he wanted to break up with her, she would not be so heartbroken and go to the bar to get herself drunk. Then she would not have had a one-night stand with a stranger in the hotel, Jessica thought.

"Do you want me to prove it? Okay. I will show you the evidence. Then we'll see how you prove that you didn't have flings with other men." Edward squinted at her with a sneer. 'You want to impose this false accusation on me, Jessica, you're extremely bold. Do you think that you can threaten me like this? You're dreaming! It's not that easy. You should know that not every woman deserves my love and care. No other women interests me now except for Daisy.' Edward thought.

"No, that's impossible. You can't insult me like this. Edward, even if you don't love me, you can't joke about the child, he's innocent." Jessica was tired of giving the same explanation to him over and over again. However every time he seemed absolutely sure that it was not his child. Was there something she didn't know about him? Jessica wondered.

"Jessica, I never play with someone's life. On the contrary, you are the one who is playing around. I won't talk nonsense with you. I will give you the evidence you want as soon as possible. I hope you can give up on this imprudence and stop pestering me with this matter. Period. I hope you can take care of yourself and stop causing trouble for me. You know what will happen to you if you try to offend me again." Edward said this while firmly holding Daisy's hand. His tone was cold and cruel. This was a deadly blow for Jessica whose heart was broken to pieces.

Daisy looked at Edward, stunned. 'It seems that Jessica's child is really not his. But how can he be so sure about it? Is there something I don't know about him?' Daisy wondered. But she was quite relieved when she heard him say that Jessica's child had nothing to do with him. She wasn't a saint who wouldn't mind if her husband had a child with another woman.

Mark, you can go back to the villa with Luke first. I have something to discuss with your Colonel, " Edward said to Mark, but his eyes were focused firmly on Daisy. 'She promised she would believe me under any circumstance. Has she forgotten that already? I will punish her when we go back home. Perhaps then she won't doubt me next time, ' Edward thought.

"Colonel, I..." Mark said hesitantly while looking at Daisy. He was her accompanying officer, although Edward asked him to go, he still wanted to hear Daisy's opinion. He would't follow anyone else's orders except for Daisy's.

Okay! You may go!" Daisy wanted to hear Edward's explanation. She didn't like the hostility between her and Edward, because she knew it was not good for their relationship. If she left despite Edward's request and efforts, she would fall into the trap set up by others. Speaking of traps, Daisy knew very well how to avoid them. So if anyone was scheming to plant a strife between her and Edward, they wouldn't succeed. She wouldn't do anything that would benefit the enemy but harm her family. That wasn't Daisy's style.
