Chapter 359 But What About My Child (Part One)

Daisy watched Cynthia disappear from the corner of her eye. She got lost in her thoughts while gazing at the coffee in her hands. People say that any two individuals who've shared a similar life experience are bound to become intimate. So did Edward really love her? Or did he choose to be with her out of sympathy? Perhaps the fact that they both had an unhappy childhood misled him into confusing sympathy with love. Was this the case? Daisy wondered.

Daisy's heart wrenched, thinking of such a possibility. The more Edward bestowed his intense love on her, the deeper she lost herself in that love. If all this was fake, what would she do? Would she run away without any hesitation as she did after their wedding day?

She took a sip of her coffee, her gaze falling on the sensual woman who was walking in the coffee house. She unwittingly furrowed her eyebrows. This woman was unquestionably a stunner in the eyes of men. Her voluptuous figure and stunning appearance were both attractive. With every move, she looked gorgeous and fascinating.

Daisy slowly turned her head to avoid being seen by the woman. She didn't want to cause a conflict by conversing with her. So she chose to ignore her blatantly. But things seldom went as per one's wishes. Daisy didn't want to cause trouble, but it didn't mean that the other person shared the same thought.

"Hey Daisy, you seem unhappy to see me." Jessica always discoursed in a condescending and arrogant manner. She noticed Daisy as soon as she entered the coffee house. She knew that Daisy had also seen her, but she didn't expect that Daisy would turn her head and look away at the sight of her. Jessica was very proud of herself, she couldn't stand being snubbed by anyone.

"What do you expect from me? Should I scatter flowers to welcome you?" Daisy didn't know why she got so annoyed by Jessica. Her blood boiled at Jessica's provocation and she was eager to fight back. She thought this was probably because Jessica used to be Edward's beloved partner. She felt repelled by Jessica's former status as Edward's lover.

"Oh, that's too much for me. I was just curious why the wife of the CEO of FX International Group is sitting here alone and dazed. Is it because you've already lost the favor of Edward? Isn't it too soon for you to be dumped overnight?" Jessica said while stressing the words "The wife of the CEO", her eyes staring at Daisy viciously. She could not conceal the smug expression on her face. As long as she could hurt Daisy, she didn't mind behaving vulgarly.

"Thank you for your concern. But it's none of your business. Why don't you take care of your own business first? Besides, it doesn't matter if I'm out of Edward's favor or not. One thing is for sure, you'll never be favored by him again." Daisy shifted her eyes away from Jessica. She casually stirred the coffee in the cup. The best way to deal with such a smug woman was to completely ignore her. But Daisy couldn't help talking back, as she didn't want Jessica to think that she was intimidated by her.

"I think you won't mind if I sit here. I am pregnant and I can't stand for too long." Jessica said while looking at Daisy provokingly. She was pissed off by Daisy who was ignoring her completely. Jessica was sure that the pretentious woman sitting in front of her would not behave so indifferently once she mentioned her pregnancy.

"I don't mind. This is not my home, anyone can sit here, pregnant or not!" Daisy sneered and thought, 'Jessica, you're being unwise by snarling at someone who's way out of your league. Didn't you notice that I don't have the slightest inclination to communicate with you? Jessica, you have gone to great lengths to stay here. If I refused your request, I'd appear as a narrow-minded person. If you are trying to use the child in your womb to provoke me, I will not waste my time and energy by playing along with your drama.'

"Thank you. Is there anyone else? Is my Mu here?" As soon as Jessica sat down, she noticed there was another cup of coffee on the table. She felt excited. 'Has Edward come here with Daisy?' Jessica wondered. But at the thought of Edward's cold attitude towards her lately, she felt heartbroken. Besides, she was also a little afraid. Edward's warning was still ringing in her ears. He had told her to stay away from Daisy.

"Miss Lin, do you think it's appropriate for you to call my husband so intimately? You will mislead others into thinking that you're Edward's wife." Daisy felt repulsed when Jessica addressed Edward so intimately. Although she figured that Jessica probably had gotten used to calling him 'my Mu', it still stung when Daisy heard it. Daisy felt extremely uncomfortable as if someone had intruded on her private property.

"Huh! Daisy, are you trying to declare your ownership to me? Don't forget that Edward once belonged to me and I'm carrying his child now. Why shouldn't I call him intimately?" Jessica narrowed her eyes and stared at Daisy. Nobody knew who would be the ultimate winner. She still thought she had a shot at winning Edward back. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

"Child? What child? Daisy, is she your friend?" Cynthia frowned at Jessica. She disliked her from the very first sight and she didn't know why. It was probably because Jessica was too ostentatious.

"No, we've just met a few times. Mom, please sit here." Daisy didn't expect that Cynthia would come back so soon. She felt flustered and Jessica couldn't be counted as her friend anyway, they had met each other a couple of times. So what Daisy told Cynthia wasn't a lie. She didn't know how to explain about Jessica to Cynthia.

"Oh, she's not a friend? I assumed she's your friend." Cynthia looked at Jessica doubtfully, the more carefully she examined her, the more she felt this woman looked familiar to her. She must have seen her somewhere, but at the moment she couldn't remember who she was.
