Journey to Happy Ending

Chapter 252 More Harm Than Good (Part Two)

"Dad, there was a woman outside who claimed she's pregnant with your kid, is it true?" Justin spat out

his question quickly. 'He asked for it, ' he thought. 'If he admits it, I will stop calling him dad and pack up

and go back to the military base. He can live with that tramp. Mom and I will not love a guy like that.'

Justin thought.

"Who are you talking about?" Edward asked doubtfully. He didn't realize that the woman mentioned by

Justin was Jessica.

"Her name is Jessica, that evil hag! Don't tell me that you don't know her. She said she is pregnant with

your child. So this is what you've been hiding all along. You cheated on us," said Justin with grief

choking him. He felt very sad. 'I've tried so hard to bring my mom and dad together. But why did this

woman suddenly appear? I drove her away long ago!' Justin thought.

"Haha!" Rain couldn't help but laugh. The little boy was mature beyond his age. He knew so many

things. 'Does he know what cheating on someone means? He surely didn't think before he said this, '

Rain thought.

"What? Did you see her?" asked Edward with a frown. He didn't plan to let Justin know about this. It

was not a good thing -- he didn't want to hear that Jessica had said anything to his kid. Everything was

not going according to plan. He couldn't put all the pieces in the right place perfectly. Now he hurt both

of the people he loved most.

"Dad, so it's real? Then I won't forgive you. And mom will leave you," Justin said, staring angrily at the

handsome man sitting in the chair. His face was full of sadness, and tears ran down his cheeks.

"No. I only have you and your mom. Other women or their children have nothing to do with me," said

Edward while rising from his chair. He walked to Justin's side and gathered him into his arms.

"Dad, really? Promise me. Promise me that pregnant woman has nothing to do with you," Justin said,

raising his head. He didn't want to share his dad and his mom with anyone. They only belonged to him.

He was hoping so hard that a family of three could live together happily. And that was not too much to

ask, Justin thought.

"Okay. I promise that except for you, I have no children. Other kids have nothing to do with me. Jessica

is pregnant, but the baby in her belly is not mine. Can you believe me, sweetheart?" asked Edward.

Edward reached out his hand to wipe the tears on Justin's face. He looked into Justin's eyes and

thought, 'I was wise to get a vasectomy shortly after I got married. Otherwise I couldn't be sure. I

couldn't make good on that promise.'

"Okay. I will believe whatever you say. You're my dad. But you must convince mom to believe you,"

said Justin. He knew about Daisy's temperament. She didn't like to be cheated on. So if she knew that

Edward lied to her in this matter, she would chop him up and feed him to the dogs at the military base,

Justin thought.

"Rest assured. I will explain it to your mom later," said Edward. But he didn't know that someone would

seize his chance and tell her the news before he could say anything. And this news troubled Daisy

deeply again.

On the base at H City, Daisy gazed at the screen and checked the data on it carefully. Her face

exhibited a cold look. She seemed a little vexed, though. 'It seems that my projections aren't accurate.

If I want to win in this military exercise, it will depend on the soldiers' on-the-spot performance and a

little luck, ' she thought.

"Colonel, what should we do now?" all the technical specialists turned to her and asked. They worked

out this strategy carefully with the Colonel. Now there were errors in the data, they would fail the

military exercise. The enemy could easily take advantage of this and monitor their actions.

"Don't panic. Notify the armored brigade to change the battle plan for the next stage. Then let the

artillery regiment replace the armored brigade's current position. The enemy will immediately notice

this. But what we do is to secretly transfer the infantry battalion to the place where the enemy isn't

looking. Change the objective of recon company, too. Don't focus on the enemy troops, we're just going

to shake things up here and make decisions from the latest data, ' said Daisy.

She looked cool and lively in her uniform. She gazed firmly at the solders who were moving quickly NôvelDrama.Org © content.

under her orders. There was finally a trace of delight in her eyes. She was not sure whether her plan

would work, because the enemy troops were under Kevin's command.

She picked up the glass of water on the desk and took a drink. She felt very excited now. At this

moment, there was no Edward or Justin on her mind. The military exercise occupied all her thoughts.

This was the only place where she felt she belonged. She always enjoyed military exercises which

required extra wisdom to deal with unexpected situations. Because only in this case could she totally

forget the man she deeply loved. Then she wouldn't feel heartbroken.

"Colonel, you see? It works. But the enemy changes their strategy accordingly," the technicians said

and looked at Daisy again. They felt that the enemy seemed to know their plan and they were

constantly changing their strategies. Now they felt they were on the receiving end of the play. They

marveled at the great wisdom showed by the enemy's commander.

"Oh! Really! The Major General has apparently put a lot of hard work into this military exercise," said

Daisy. She felt more excited now. There was a playful smile on her face, which was rare to see. The

stronger the enemy was, the more likely it was to bring out the best in her. So she decided to take on

the challenge. But she was not sure whether or not this would work.
