Journey to Happy Ending

Chapter 232 Letting Go Is Another Kind Of Love (Part One)

"You have something on your mind," said Kevin. He looked at Daisy, who had lowered the back seat

and lain on it. He noticed her eyes were red from the start. It was obvious that she had cried. 'What

made her so sad? She has almost never cried. She seems to have become more emotional recently.

She cried during the military training too. It's good for her to vent her feelings, otherwise these feelings

would build up and get in the way, ' Kevin thought.

"It's nothing. I'm a little tired from work. Maybe because I'm getting older," replied Daisy mechanically,

while looking at the scenery which was passing by quickly outside blankly.

"Daisy, if you're getting old, then I must have one foot in the grave," teased Kevin. He pretended to look

angry at her words and shot a stare at her. He was trying to make her less depressed.

"You're not a dying man. What will happen to Leena then, if you pass away? You just got married.

Speaking of Leena, did you let her know we're leaving early?" asked Daisy. She seemed more

animated thanks to his exaggerated joke. Her face wasn't as pale as it was before, and it appeared she

felt better.

"Not yet. I decided to tell her when we arrive safely. How about you? Did you tell Mr. Edward about

this? I saw his car driving towards the army base when I left," said Kevin looking at her hesitantly. He

was sure that was Edward's car. Because not long after the Maybach passed, another car zoomed by.

That must be his bodyguard's car, Kevin thought.

"How's it going between you and Leena? Is it okay to leave her alone at home?" asked Daisy. She

purposely changed the subject. She didn't want to open up to him that much. She'd feel embarrassed if

she did.

"We get along well. She is not as spoiled as I thought. She manages to surprise me a lot," said Kevin.

He knew that Daisy had intentionally changed the topic. But he didn't mind. If she didn't reply to his

question, that was because she didn't want to talk about Edward, Kevin thought.

"Oh! Surprise? Surprised by her ability to make trouble or by how stubborn she is?" teased Daisy. She

had experienced Leena's obstinate character firsthand. And she wasn't the only one. First Justin, then

herself, and finally Belinda. She would constantly pester the person she liked and wouldn't let it go. So

every time Justin saw her, he would run off. Thinking of this, Daisy smiled gently.

"Daisy! Do you really think of my wife that way?" asked Kevin. He turned around and looked at Daisy

doubtfully. He wondered why he didn't know about this side of Leena. He wasn't sure that Leena would

make trouble for him. But he believed that she was not obstinate. She never bothered him when they

were together. She was always busy doing her own thing. He was quite pleased with this, because he

could focus on his work, and not have to constantly think about her. She was pretty easy to live with, so

far.

"Just wait. You'll figure it out after you live with her for a while. She has a lot of strange ideas. I hope

you can remain calm like today when you get to know her," said Daisy with a smile. Although Leena

was very lively, she was not vicious. It depended on how Kevin would view her behavior, Daisy thought.

"Ok, now I'm worried. Why did you say that now that we're out in another city and I can't do anything

about it? She won't tear my house down, will she?" Kevin teased. As long as Daisy did not look sad

and angry, he was satisfied. He wanted her to be happy everyday. He didn't expect more.

"Oh! She won't do that. She knows where to stop. Be good to her. She married you without knowing

you, she deserves your love for that at least. Not many rich ladies like her who are the apples of their

family's eye would choose a solder to be their husband. Everyone knows that means endless

loneliness and solitude," said Daisy. She really admired Leena's courage. Almost all the young girls

that were born in rich families behaved haughtily. But Leena was very different. Although she enjoyed

the care and love of so many people around her, she still retained decent manners and was a good

person.

"Okay. Since I married her, I will try my best to be a good husband," said Kevin with a forced smile. In

fact, Daisy was the person he wanted to care for and love. But he knew he already lost from the

beginning. There was always something in the world that you couldn't have, even if you had tried hard

to get it. It also depended on luck and destiny. He and Daisy were lucky to know each other, but they

were destined to only be friends.

Daisy fell into silence again. She took a gentle glance at Kevin and got lost in thought again. She

began to think about what Kevin said about Edward. 'He said he saw Edward go to the army base. But

what was he doing there? Does he know that I have seen him kissing Jessica?

Or maybe he doesn't know about this, and he is just worried because I haven't come home yet?'

thought Daisy.

She looked at the cellphone in her hand which was drained of power and off. 'He must be worried

about me! So he went to the army base to look for me. All because he couldn't get through to me by

phone, ' thought Daisy. She closed her eyes, feeling a little tired. She was wondering whether she

should send him a message. But she was afraid she'd hear the explanation that she didn't want to hear.

That he loved Jessica, not her. All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

She mindlessly tapped on the screen of her cellphone. Remembering the scene, she still felt

heartbroken. 'Edward, I really want to believe you. I wanted to wait outside the office for your

explanation. But for some reason, I couldn't come up with a reasonable explanation, and scared myself

with what I thought you might say. I still can't believe that there is nothing between you and Jessica.

First, I saw a photo on my phone, and then the real scene right in front of my eyes? How can you make

me believe you? You and Jessica have loved each other for so many years. While we've only been

together for a matter of months. How can I possibly compete with that? It hurts that I'm not the only one

for you. I'm so embarrassed, ' thought Daisy.

She lifted her hand and gently moved her hairs which fell on her face. She knew that Edward would be

worried about her when he suddenly lost contact with her, no matter if he loved her or not. But she

didn't really want to speak to him. She feared that she would lose control to the anger in her and

accuse him. She hated the thought of doing that. It would make her look disagreeable.

Love involves two people. If the person you love has no feelings for you, it is useless to hold onto it. In

fact, when it comes right down to it, letting go is another kind of love.

Kevin drove the car in silence. The furrow on his forehead indicated that in his heart, he was not as

peaceful as he looked. He knew that Edward, a charming and successful business man, would have a

hard time sticking to only one woman. Even if he didn't want another woman, girls would try to use all

kinds of ways to attract his attention. He was the prince charming of many girls' hearts, thought Kevin.

The dark green military car hit the expressway. They kept silent, but they were thinking about the same

person at the same time. Daisy thought of Edward because she loved him. And Kevin thought of

Edward because he loved Daisy. Same guy, different reasons.

"Mr. Mu, are you okay?" As soon as Luke saw Edward come out, he noted how Edward looked, and his

greeting was replaced by a phrase of concern. He frowned when he saw Edward's pale face. Why did

Mr. Mu look even worse than before he entered the army base? Luke wondered.

"It's nothing. Call someone to drive your car back. I'm a little tired," said Edward while getting into the

car and belting himself into the passenger's seat. He closed his eyes before Luke could say anything.

He had never felt so tired. Even if he'd worked for two days and two nights consecutively, he would not

feel as weary as he did right now.

Luke moved his lips, trying to say something. But he gave up the idea and quickly got into the car. He

shot a concerned look to Edward before he started the engine. Mr. Mu was in a deep depression now,

and Luke had never seen him like this before. He had always been high-spirited, vigorous and

extremely arrogant. But he looked so down now.
