Journey to Happy Ending

Chapter 1575 The Most Precious Person (Part Two)

"But, you just got pregnant. That wasn't easy. You need Giselle more than we do." If Leena had gotten

pregnant soon after the marriage just like Michelle and Patricia, Belinda would not feel so nervous for

her.

"Don't worry, Belinda. I'll be fine. And besides, the baby was fate, not an accident." Every baby was a

gift from God. If this gift didn't belong to her, she would not force it and would accept that. She had the

patience to wait for her gift.

Belinda stayed at Grand Apartment and didn't leave until late afternoon. Spencer was fussy and crying,

so Belinda had to leave in a hurry. Leena was alone again, but everything was peaceful.

Eventually, Leena stepped into the building of FX International Group. Anna congratulated her the

moment she saw her, and Leena's face turned red from shyness. She thanked Anna and fled into the

president's office.

"What's the hurry? A ghost chasing you? Don't run like that. It's not good for the baby." Seeing Leena

rush into the office, Edward frowned and scolded her in a serious tone.

"Thanks, I never would have known that," Leena said sarcastically. She stuck her tongue out naughtily.

Her fight or flight instincts kicked in when Anna congratulated her, so she ran.

"Ah. A difference of opinion. How do I get you to be more careful? Something to drink? Milk?" Finger on

the intercom, Edward waited for her reply.

"No, thanks. I'm not thirsty now." Leena took off her coat and sat down on the sofa. Winter was on the

way, and it was getting colder these days.

"Daisy will be here soon. Let's go out for a bite." Edward talked with her while focusing on his work. A

file needed his comments and approval urgently, so he was working on it, his brow fixed and intent.

Leena was used to it. She grabbed a magazine beside her and began to go through it to kill time.

"Isn't she on base now?" Leena asked, after being quiet for a while.

"She sometimes gets business here to deal with. So we decided to have lunch together." Edward took

a look at her and then lowered his eyes and focused on the documents again.

"Oh! Got it. I'll grab Rain." Leena recalled that Rain was in a blue mood earlier when he drank with her.

She decided to go check on him.

"He's not here. He went out to see a client. Just sit tight for a bit. I'll be done soon." This was really an

urgent set of files, so he had to deal with them as soon as possible. Otherwise, he would have given

her his full attention.

"Oh. I see." Then, Leena stopped talking with him in order not to disturb him. She began to go through

the gossipy articles in the magazine. She could not help frowning when she saw an article on Dorothy,

who apparently was in a domestic violence case. She remembered that Dorothy looked unhappy when

last they met. It turned out that she was trapped in that kind of scandal not long after she married. Was

it true? Or was it just media hype? Leena could not help wondering.

Actually Dorothy was not that bad a person. She just trusted the wrong guy. Leena got it. She wanted

to marry a rich guy and be a member of a rich family. But what she did not know was that there was

always a dark side where those rich families were concerned.

"Hey, so what's up?" Edward already finished his work. He sat down beside her.

"Edward, is it true? The domestic violence thing?" Although Dorothy had tried to mess with her, Leena

did not have the stomach to see her end up in such misery. Leena felt sorry for her. If she married a

guy who loved her, instead of pursuing a rich guy so blindly, she would definitely live a better life.

"What's that?" Edward took a look at the magazine in Leena's hand. "Well, you can't tell whether it's

true or not. Gossip rags are rife with stories like this. There's a chance it's true, but we don't have the

full story."

"Isn't she your girl? She signed with you. Aren't you afraid of bad publicity? Something like this gets NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

out, it's --" "--Not for me to decide," Edward interrupted. Leena found it confusing. Things became more

intricate, and harder to understand in the entertainment circle.

"It's probably just media hype," Edward continued. "Actually, when she decided to get married, her

value fell anyway. Guys aren't going to be drooling over a housewife." That was how it worked in a

jungle. It was cruel and everyone had to accept it.

"Are you so cold-blood to everyone, Edward?" Leena felt a bit frustrated with this fact. She was flooded

with compassion again.

"Look, girl. We're running a company, not a charity. This kind of thing happens a lot in business. It's just

normal. It has nothing to do with so-called cold blood." He did not keep a close eye at the

entertainment company under FX International Group. Rain handled everything in it. Edward kept

himself away from those women ever since Daisy came back to him.

"Fine. Never mind. So, you finished your work?" Leena left the magazine alone and decided not to talk

about Dorothy. No matter what kind of life she was living now, that was her choice. She should be

responsible for her choice.

"Yeah! Hungry?" Edward took a look at his watch. It was still a bit too early for lunch.

"No. When's Daisy coming? Will she be here soon?" She hadn't seen Daisy in a long time and missed

her a lot.

"Afraid not. So, you came here today, of all days. What's the matter?" Leena seldom wanted to come

here. She would not show up here unless Edward called her many times, and made many assurances.

It was a big surprise for Edward to see her pay a sudden visit.

"I miss you! Isn't that enough?" Leena smiled sweetly, stared at him with her big blinking eyes.

"You're not really here to see me, are you?" Edward was a sharp guy. Ever since she got married, he

was suddenly less important in her world.

"Well! You're confident. Why do you think there'd be another reason?" Leena wrinkled her cute nose.

Edward made a mistake. She came here because she genuinely missed him and Rain.

"Confident enough. So, tell me. What do you want? It's yours." Edward squeezed her face with a

seemingly upset expression on his face. She was the apple of his eye and he would buy everything she

wanted.

"Why? I don't need a gift. Being with you is enough of a treat." Edward made it seem like she needed

him to buy her something.

"It's not for you. It's for my future nephew." Edward fought back with an excellent excuse. Leena usually

won, but this time, he found a nice opportunity to take her down.

"Ha ha! Seriously? Come on, you even don't know if it's a girl or a boy! And you're secretly planning on

getting him some gift? That's so ridiculous." Leena burst into laughter. She was totally shocked by

Edward's proposal.

"It's my gift. I'm glad to buy him a gift. Isn't that okay?" Edward felt a bit awkward being teased by her.

He stared at that lady who was laughing loudly, teeth gritted. She'd grown up so much.

"Yeah, of course, it's okay. It's just, you are too funny." Leena tried hard to stop laughing. Hearing

Edward's plan made her think of Duke, who was also pondering buying a gift for her unborn baby. The

two men deserved each other.

"Hey, what are you talking about? What's so funny? I could hear you laughing all the way down the

hall." Daisy suddenly appeared in the doorway, still decked out in her olive-green military uniform.

"Oh hey, Daisy. Ask Edward! You may laugh, too." Leena stayed close to Edward. It was a normal

picture for Daisy. She'd already got used to the way they got along and she did not think it was anything

inappropriate.

"Hey. I didn't expect you so soon. Finish up early?" Edward would never show any embarrassment in

front of his wife. So he changed the subject.

"Yeah, it went faster than we thought. Hi Leena, been here long?" Daisy walked to the desk. She

picked up Edward's glass and drank some water. She had been busy at work the whole morning and

now she felt a bit thirsty.

"I just got here. I planned to have a nice meal with Edward. But he said you're going out for lunch,"

Leena said in a seemingly annoyed tone, as if she was the drama queen.

"Oh, really? I know when I'm not wanted," Daisy said and pretended to leave.

"She's joking, honey. Relax." Edward stood up and walked to Daisy with deep and tender eyes. He

found the fire left Daisy's eyes, and she became more easy-going now. She didn't used to joke in the

old days -- in fact, she had nothing to joke about. But now, here she was, making fun of Leena. That

was not like the old Daisy.
