Journey to Happy Ending

Chapter 119 Honey, I Miss You Too

Jessica stroked her fair neck in fear. She could hardly believe that Edward had just tried to kill her. She

still didn't know enough about Edward.

"Anna, see her out." Edward ordered without another look at Jessica. The coldness continued to

emanate from him.

"Miss Jessica, come with me, please." Anna knew Edward's temper. He loved Justin, and Jessica

called Justin names. Of course Edward would lose his temper.

Jessica took a last look at the man she loved so much. She knew he'd never belong to her completely.

But she didn't mind sharing him with other women as long as she could be by his side. Edward

shattered that wish.

The longer she looked at him, the more she wanted him. 'Edward, I will make you marry me and accept

our child by all means. Only I am the perfect match for you.' she thought.

Edward gracefully returned to his desk and sat down. He took the call, and Jessica disappeared from

his mind.

"Hey, what's up? Do you miss me?" He said gently, smiling broadly. One could hardly link his

affectionate look to his coldness and cruelty just moments before.

Jessica could hear him. His gentleness made Jessica's feet soft. Her face grew pale. 'Ah, Edward, you

used to be so gentle and caring to me as well. But not now. What about this woman? How long will it

take you to dump her? We'll all end up deserted.'

"Edward, don't be so childlike. Will you be home on time?" Daisy said, flipping through the files she had

just copied.

"Do you want me home early? I'll think about it." Edward answered playfully. His voice sounded quite

affectionate.

"Ew. Suit yourself. I'm not going to beg you to come home." She knew that Edward was eloquent.

Keeping her words short and sharp was the best way to deal with him.

"No way. Are you mad? You're usually more cheerful than this." Edward raised his head and saw

Jessica standing there. He frowned and gestured to Anna to take her out. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

Jessica sneered and walked away. Who was on the other end of that call? Who deserved such gentle

treatment from Edward?

"What? Edward, You regret marrying a short-tempered woman like me?" Daisy quipped. Belinda and

her friends were having a bad influence on her.

"Yes. I regret it. But I can't return you and get a new wife. Besides, I lost the receipt." Since Daisy was

in a joking mood, he would play along.

"Well, you can return me, but I will punish you severely first, then I will set you free. How about that?" It

was quite rare for Daisy to joke around. But as she spent more time

With Edward, she became more outgoing.

"Honey, what kind of punishment? It won't kill me, will it?" Edward was all excited. It was rare when she

joked with him, and he loved it.

"Well. That depends on how much you can take." Daisy chuckled. She imagined how gorgeous Edward

would look when he's decked out in military garb.

"Honey. Why the evil laugh? You are not thinking about us in bed, are you?" Daisy's giggle made

Edward shiver. 'Why Daisy laughed so creepily? How come I never knew that side of her?'

"Ahem! Ahem! I didn't laugh. You haven't answered my question yet." Daisy's smile vanished, and

turned to a cold look.

"What question?" Edward opened the files on the desk. He would have finished his work if not for

Jessica. He needed to hurry up, or he wouldn't be home on time.

"Edward, what are you doing? You're not listening." Daisy organized her documents and put them in

the briefcase beside her.

"Oh. Don't worry. I'll be home on time." Edward just now remembered what she had asked.

"Okay, you can get back to work then. I'll let you go." She didn't hang up immediately as Edward hadn't

replied.

"Um... Honey, I miss you." Daisy could tell Edward sounded a bit lonely.

"Edward, what's the matter? Something wrong at work?" Daisy's heart raced in anticipation of his

confession, her voice trembled with excitement. 'What's the matter with Edward? Why did he suddenly

become so sentimental?

And his voice sounded so tired. What happened? He was fine just now.' Daisy thought to herself.

"Nothing. I just miss you." Edward couldn't hide his feelings anymore. He missed Daisy after having to

deal with Jessica.

To be honest, he couldn't be sure that he wasn't the father of Jessica's baby. He only knew that the

possibility was remote. He felt pressured. He didn't want to hurt Daisy with that just when their

relationship was getting better.

"Um. Honey, I miss you too." Finally Daisy admitted it. Maybe it was his loneliness. Maybe his affection.

She liked being close to him emotionally.

Edward could hardly believe what he just heard. In fact, Daisy had never said any sweet words to him

or called him honey.

"Honey, thank you. I feel better now. Just stay home and wait for me. I'll be there soon." To hell with

Jessica! He would not let her disrupt what he had with Daisy.

"Okay, I'll be waiting. Drive safe." Daisy's heart was filled with softness and affection. To hell with

coldness. She was done burying her feelings. She loved Edward. She would say it out loud. And she

didn't care who heard her.
