Chapter 1562 How Time Flies (Part Two)
"You are very smart, you slick girl!" Edward's mood lightened up. He planted a gentle kiss on Daisy's forehead and left with a roar of laughter.NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
"Sis Daisy, what happened to Edward? Was he beaten by something?" It sent a shiver down her spine at the thought of his actions towards her moments ago. No wonder so many women had gone crazy about him and thrown themselves at him. He had the natural charisma that had all kinds of women spellbound. Even she, herself, was almost entranced by him just now.
"Don't mind him. He was flooded and infested by dirty thoughts in his brain tonight." Daisy felt a little embarrassed, being caught fooling around with her husband.
"Daisy, is it the nature of men to be so shameless?" Thinking of how Kevin behaved towards her recently, Leena's face darkened.
"Probably. But it depends. Sometimes, it's normal for men to have dirty thoughts on their wives. But if he also acts like that to other women, then that would be something else. We call those men, assholes, jerks or pigs!" No one can be a real saint in this temporal world. Daisy could understand Edward's moments of uncontrollable desire towards her every now and then. They were a couple and they were supposed to be bound into one.
"Okay, I see. Daisy, I found that you have a thorough understanding of almost everything. I really admire you and you deserve my respect." Leena raised her head and looked up to Daisy who was a little higher than her, with admiring glances, "Don't worship me like that. The one you imagine in your head may only live in fantasies and the stuff of legends." Daisy couldn't help but laugh as soon as she finished her words. It was not her style to use the online buzzword in her remark.
"Ha!" Leena also laughed. Daisy's joke lightened up the mood and Leena felt less depressed.
"Well, Leena, how is everything with you? Are you still drinking the herbal medicine?" Daisy asked with concern while helping her brush away the petals which had fallen on her dress.
"Yes I am. Tom is still giving them to me. But don't tell this to Kevin. He doesn't like me pushing myself too hard." She felt grateful for his affection towards her. But that didn't mean she would take it sitting down. As long as there was hope, she would not give up. "Leena, I am so sorry. If only there was something I could do." Daisy pulled her into her arms, her eyes becoming red as she got emotional. Even as a woman who had grown up in comfort, and belonged to a rich family, Leena could endure all the hardships for the sake of love. She was a tough girl and that won Daisy's respect and affection.
"I know. But don't be sad for me. As long as I feel loved, nothing can get me down." Leena tried to make Daisy less worried about her condition, an assuring smile finding its way to her face.
"Come on! I know you can succeed in this challenge. It is nothing compared to the worse things that you have gone through." Except for this, Daisy really didn't know how to encourage her. "Mommy, what are you doing here? You two are hugging each other." Justin raised his head and looked at them, holding an airplane model in his hand.
"Justin, it's you again. Huh! You love to pop out in the most unexpected places." Leena was revengeful when it came to issues with Justin. So every time they met, there would be a fight.
"Aunt Leena, I now really suspect that you have entered your midlife crisis phase already, otherwise why would you be so hot tempered? You get upset at the simplest of things." Justin's face crumpled, as if he was really worried about Leena's condition. "What? Who did you say has entered the midlife crisis phase? Were you referring to me?" Leena was flustered. She glared at Justin with piercing eyes and her eyebrows raised.
"Mommy, look, Aunt Leena is picking on me again." Justin quickly hid himself in Daisy's arms, making a face at Leena.
"Justin, do you know that you are just bringing trouble to yourself? You should shoulder the blame for your own fault. Don't seek shelter in my arms. You are a boy and you should take your responsibilities like a man." In Daisy's eyes, a child should never be spoiled. Therefore, she was very strict with Justin, which was a stark contrast to Edward's parenting style. This was probably the reason why Justin behaved like that. Edward's style was kind of a free-range parenting style. As long as Justin was healthy and happy, nothing else mattered. So Edward didn't set as many rules as Daisy did to Justin.
"Did you hear that? You are just asking for trouble yourself." Leena winked mischievously at Justin with a smug face. Having fought in the verbal wars with Justin for so many rounds, Leena found that still neither of them could win.
"Huh! Mommy, you don't love me any more!" Justin pouted, feeling unfairly wronged. Every time he argued with Leena, he was always the one to blame. Was it because he was just a boy? If that was the case, he would rather be a girl just for once. That way his mom would be more impartial. Maybe take his side more...well if he became a girl, then "her" side.
"Yes, you're right. Your mommy loves me the most. More than you!" Leena intentionally annoyed him, adding fuel to the flame. She was obsessed in making fun of him.
"It doesn't matter. I will go and find Uncle Kevin and tell him that you bullied me," Justin said as he left Daisy's arms and started running away from the garden and back inside the house.
"Ah! He started all this but now he lays it all on me!" Leena raised her eyebrows. When did she bully him? She just had verbal arguments with him.
"What? Are you afraid of him?" Daisy looked at her, amused. No wonder there were endless squabbles whenever they found themselves in the same room or the same place. It turned out that they had one thing in common, that both of them hadn't really grown up yet. It seemed that no matter how mature Leena acted in public, she was still a little girl inside. Her true innocent nature was just hidden and restrained by the bonds of marriage.
"Are you joking? It's impossible. Would Kevin really eat me up for this? It's so absurd." Leena said casually. She would never worry that Kevin would believe Justin and do something to her.
"Then what else are you worried about?" Let's go! I miss the baby already! I want to look at him all the time!" Daisy shook her head helplessly. The girlish manner that Leena occasionally behaved made Daisy want to love her and care about her as if she were her little sister.
Time went by. Good news about being pregnant came one after another from Leena's friends. But for herself, there were no signs of any conception. Although Tom proposed to check on her many times, she turned him down politely. She didn't want to pin too much hope on it. She just did what she could secretly following the prescription that Tom ordered for her.00
