Journey to Happy Ending

Chapter 322 Behave Yourself

"Humph! Rachel, you left Duke and married someone else back then. Why would you think it's his fault

now?" Edward sneered as he gazed at Rachel, his face full of contempt and sarcasm. Just like Jessica,

Rachel was obviously too full of herself. Edward felt obligated to help her come back to reality.

"I admit I was too rash back then. But he also lied to me! Why would I choose someone else if he had

told me that he is the heir to the Leng family?" Rachel was pissed off while thinking of this. Duke came

from a wealthy family, but he never mentioned it to her. She had always thought that Duke was only

one of Edward's sidekicks. That was why she left him and married a middle-aged rich guy. It was too

late when she found out from the TV news that Duke was actually a prince charming, rather than a

penniless beggar.

"You mean you only love Duke's money, not him?" Daisy was surprised how cheeky Rachel was. She

was as self-centered and selfish as Jessica! And they both enjoyed playing with others' feelings. Daisy

suddenly realized Rachel and Jessica could be best friends if they were introduced to each other.

"Mrs. Mu, are you telling me that there's pure love between you and Edward? Without any strings?

Come on! I don't buy it at all. Everything comes down to money in the end!" Rachel snapped at Daisy

with a sneer, her eyebrows raised in contempt. She despised Daisy. 'What a condescending bitch! Mrs.

Mu? I never knew that Edward got married! How shameless she is to call herself Mrs. Mu! And look at

her bastard son! How filthy! And did she just give me a lecture about love trumping everything? What

an ignorant and stupid woman! Who cares about love these days? Money is the only thing that

matters!' Rachel thought to herself.

"Strings? There is. And it's quite simple. I just want him. Money is not important to me since I won't be

needing that much anyway. The only thing matters to me is Edward himself." Staring right into Rachel's

eyes, Daisy calmly replied as she casually played with her glass. She wasn't mad at Rachel's

accusation, because she knew Rachel was wrong. Not every woman cared only about money; take her

for example, she just loved Edward and wanted to be with him.

Surprised, Edward turned to Daisy, his eyes glowing with excitement. Daisy had never told him this

before; and he certainly didn't expect he'd get an idea of her true feelings in this conversation.

Meanwhile, Edward felt even more grateful to have Daisy in his life. He had never felt more ashamed of

himself until this very moment, when he finally realized how pure his wife's love for him was.

"It seems I'm being shallow here. But you know what? I don't care whether he is married; I won't give

up on what belongs to me! As long as I want him, he must be mine! I wouldn't say the same about

others, but I know Duke. And I know he would want to be with me." Rachel snorted and glared at Daisy,

as if Duke was already groveling at her feet.

"Rachel, I don't know why you're so arrogant and think Duke is still in love with you. But I'm warning

you, don't ever try to ruin his marriage; or I won't let you off easily. You know I am a man of my word.

So behave yourself and don't do anything you'll regret later."

Edward's voice was as cold and dangerous as the look on his face. Duke was his best friend. Rachel

had hurt Duke once; he wouldn't give her the chance to do it again. Not to mention that Duke was

married to Belinda, Daisy's best friend. There was no way that Edward would stand there and watch

Rachel break them up. Daisy would be upset if Belinda was sad; and it wouldn't be easy for Edward

when Daisy was upset.

"Edward, are you threatening me? You said I hurt him, but what about the fact that he lied to me? You

don't scare me. It's not that simple -- you don't know the whole story. You only saw his wounds, don't

you see mine?" Rachel was getting furious. Why did Edward seem to always pick on her? He never

liked her; and after all these years, they still couldn't see eye to eye. 'Does he really hate me that

much?' thought Rachel gloomily. This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

"Yes, I am threatening you." Edward frowned impatiently. What on earth did Duke see in her? Luckily

she gave up and left; Edward believed they wouldn't be happy if they had gotten together. Duke

deserved someone better than her.

"I'm sorry, but I have something else to deal with. Enjoy your lunch." Rachel blurted out a random

excuse and stood up abruptly. She really hated it when Edward sneered like this. She wanted to slap

him, but she couldn't. Hence she could only leave. She came to Edward because she was hoping he

could help hook her and Duke up. Now, after their conversation, the only thing she could hope for was

that Edward wouldn't interfere with her plans to get Duke back.

"Sure. Goodbye, Miss Rachel." Daisy felt more than happy to hear that Rachel was leaving. She had

no intention to make her stay since she practically didn't know her. What's more, Rachel's return might

threaten Belinda's interests, which made Daisy even more angry. But after she talked to Rachel, Daisy

actually felt more at ease. She believed Duke would choose Belinda over Rachel unless he was

insane.

"Goodbye!" Rachel said as she strode away arrogantly. Gazing at her back, Daisy was lost in thought.

She didn't worry about whether Duke would take Rachel back; the only thing that concerned her was

whether Belinda would get hurt. Daisy knew Belinda had fallen in love with Duke, and she believed

Duke felt the same thing for Belinda. But Rachel's sudden return would definitely cast a shadow over

their relationship. And that was what Daisy was worried about.

"Mommy, why don't you eat? What are you thinking about? You seem like you're thinking hard about

something." Justin gripped the edge of the table with one hand and waved the other in front of Daisy's

eyes, trying to get her back here and now. He had grown used to running into annoying acquaintances

in S City. It seemed there was a never-ending parade of them now.

"What? Oh, I'm sorry. I was thinking about something." Daisy smiled gently at Justin while fondling his

head. She noticed another man at the table was also staring at her.

"Don't worry. Duke can handle this." Edward tried to comfort her. He knew exactly what Daisy was

worried about. He also knew it was Duke's personal life, and there was nothing they could do no matter

how much they wanted to help them.

"I know. I just worry about Belinda. You know how reckless she is. By the way, do you guys know

anyone who is not nuts?" Jessica was mad enough; Rachel was even more unreasonable. Did Edward

and his bros have a type? Did they go for crazy women?

"I'm sorry. Just eat something. And we can do some shopping or anything you like." Edward didn't want

to bring up Jessica again because he had nothing to do with her now, and he knew Daisy didn't like

her. He didn't want to ruin Daisy's day, so he simply changed the topic.

The FX International Group contributed a lot to the economic prosperity of S City. Right now standing in

the MY Mall, Daisy was dumbfounded to see a bunch of senior executives there to greet their arrival.

Then she suddenly remembered the mall belonged to the FX International Group.

"Mr. Mu. Are you here to inspect or to shop?" The manager walked up to them and asked politely. The

security guards reported it to him as soon as they saw Edward enter the mall. The manager soon

gathered up the senior executives to greet Edward. They could still remember the last time Edward

came here, and his visit didn't end up well. Hence they were extremely careful this time.

"Don't mind us. We'll just look around on our own. Go back to your work." Edward knew Daisy didn't

like to be surrounded by too many people, so he told his subordinates to leave them alone.

"Yes, Mr. Mu. Have a good day." The manager figured that Daisy might be Edward's wife; but since

Edward didn't introduce her, he wouldn't dare to address her 'Mrs. Mu' imprudently. He simply nodded

at Daisy and Justin before stepping aside.

Edward nodded with a frown. Their inquisitive looks made him uncomfortable. He didn't told them who

Daisy was because he would save the answer for tonight's party. He would proudly tell the world that

Daisy was his wife. Besides, he knew Daisy didn't like to associate with strangers, so he didn't force

her.

"Daddy, are we shopping? I thought we were going to the amusement park!" Justin pouted while

glaring at his father with discontent. He hated it most to shop with women! And he couldn't even

complain because it was his dear mother whom he was going to escort today. Justin suddenly wanted

to tell them that he was tired and needed to sit there to get some rest; and when they left, he could

sneak into the amusement park by himself!

"We're not! We'll listen to whatever mommy says today and go wherever she wants to go. No

complaints." Edward read his son's mind. He just didn't bother to pay any attention to Justin's desire.

He knew Justin would go crazy every time he was in amusement park, and he and Daisy would have to

run after him in case he got hurt. The day was about making Daisy happy, so Edward immediately

crossed Justin's proposal off the list.
