Journey to Happy Ending

Chapter 229 He Really Fell In Love With Her (Part Two)

"Mr. Edward? What are you doing here?" Mark asked. He looked at Edward, then at Luke. Because he

had lived in Edward's house recently, Luke was not a stranger to him. Luke had a very cold face, even

colder than Colonel Daisy. Mark thought.

"Mark, where is the Colonel?" Edward asked and seized Mark's shoulder. He shook him eagerly, like

Daisy might appear if Edward just jolted the soldier hard enough.

"Mr. Edward, l - let me go. I'll explain. R - right now I c - can't even speak," said Mark, struggling with

the words. He felt dizzy from all the shaking.

"Okay, but tell me, where is the Colonel?" asked Edward who immediately took back his hands and

patted down his hair, embarrassed. He knew he lost his cool again. 'You see! Daisy. I've just lost myself

over you for the first time. There are so many things I've done for you for the first time, but you can't

see them. Then something happens, and you forget everything that I've done for you and all the love

I've given you.' thought Edward.

"Our Colonel has gone to H City with the Major General because of some emergency. It's about an

hour by plane. So she didn't get the chance to notify you yet." said Mark He massaged his shoulder

which was hurt by Edward shaking him. He wondered what mistakes he had made that would make

him suffer this pain.

"What? They went to H CIty? But why?" asked Edward. 'Daisy, are you doing this in order to escape

from me? And you go with Kevin. Do you know how miserable I am now?' thought Edward.

"Yes. They are going there to prepare the military exercises. I come back to bring some things for the

Colonel." Mark said. He didn't realize that his last answer had layers of misunderstandings built in it. So

he was confused when he saw Edward's face go pale.

"But why can't I get her on the phone? Did she turn it in because of the mission?" asked Edward. His

eyes were full of regret. He had been careful to protect her from being affected by his affairs. But he

failed. He made her sad. And of course, that would affect the military exercise. It seemed that the most

hateful person was not Jessica, but Edward himself, who had thought that everything was under

control.

"Oh! The Colonel's phone is powered down. Maybe she needs to charge it." said Mark while taking a

cautious look at Edward. He had wanted to say that there was another possibility: that the Colonel was

unwilling to charge her phone because she was trying to avoid someone. But he didn't dare say it. He

kept this in his heart.

Edward listened to Mark, then pulled out his phone and dialed Daisy again. He still got the same

computerized voice directing him to leave a message. 'Is she deliberately keeping her phone off? Just

so she won't hear my voice? Maybe she hates my voice now, ' thought Edward.

"Her phone's still off," said Edward. He stuffed his cellphone back into his pocket with a downcast look.

His heart was like dying embers.

"I'm going to her apartment to fetch some things for her. Mr. Edward, do you want to go there and

rest?" said Mark. Looking at Edward's depressed expression, he wondered what had happened Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

between Mr. Edward and Colonel. They both looked very strange.

It seemed that love could hurt people easily. So he decided he'd better avoid terrible things like that in

the future. The strong Colonel was felled by love. If it happened to him, he might be destroyed in an

instant. That was unimaginable to him. Thinking of this, Mark shivered. It was frightening -- he was

terrified just thinking about it. What would happen if he really fell in love? Mark thought.

"To her apartment? Okay. I didn't get a chance to see a lot of it last time I was there. This way I can get

a good look at the place where she and Justin lived," said Edward. He thought he would still be unable

to see her if he caught up with her now. So he might as well go to her place and get to know more

about her. Edward thought.

"Okay. Let's go! You can take my car." Said Mark while getting into the vehicle. He had to go to meet

with Colonel tonight in H City. So he couldn't waste time talking with them here. He wanted to get things

done quickly.

Edward looked at Luke, who nodded at him. Then he got in the car. He finally got the chance to get

inside the army base after he had waited outside for so long. But he still couldn't see her. He sneered.

'She is playing hide and seek with me. Does she even know this would make me uneasy? Agitate me?'

Edward thought.

They went to Daisy's apartment, no snags, no jams. Edward suddenly became nervous. He didn't know

why he felt that way. She was not there. What made him so anxious? He wondered. It seemed that he

would lose it when he thought of anything connected to her.

"Mr. Edward, please come in." Mark said after he opened the door. He suddenly felt very strange after

he said this. This was the Colonel's apartment, so Mr. Edward could be deemed the master of the

house. But why was he feeling that he sounded more like the master of this place after he welcomed

Edward into the house? Maybe because he was a soldier, and Edward was not?
