Journey to Happy Ending

Chapter 1698 Anyone But Her (Part Two)

"How could you! You ARE of my kind! How could you call yourself a pervert?" Edward feigned

seriousness and said. Then, before Daisy knew it, his mouth pressed lightly on the edge of Daisy's ear,

sending uncontrollable vibrations up and down her spine. After that, he pulled away from her, and

looked at his wife with a devilish smile. He lifted up his hand and placed a finger over her lips.

Daisy's mouth twitched. 'God damn it! Don't try to lump me in with you!' Daisy thought, quite ruffled.

Without a second thought, she opened her mouth wide and bit Edward's finger.

"Ouch! It really hurts, lady! What are you? A dog or what? Hey, okay stop! Let go now, baby," Edward

exclaimed, stamping his feet. But no matter how desperately he struggled, Daisy showed no intention

of letting go. Daisy enjoyed his torment. She then proceeded to nibble on Edward's finger, sucking and

licking it like a lollipop. She looked at Edward suggestively, her eyes shining with excitement.

"Did I say let go? I take it back, please continue. You have no idea what this looks like to me," Edward

said with a smirk. He was very much aroused now at what Daisy was doing, even more so by the looks

she threw at him.

At first Daisy didn't understand. She stopped and thought fast without letting go. But the moment she

realized what he was thinking, she spat out his finger. To further express her disgust, she spat over the

side before lashing out at him, "You filthy pervert! I can't believe that you think this way!"

"It wasn't my fault! You were the one acting all sexy!" Edward said defensively, bowing his head like a

scolded child. 'Typical!' he lamented to himself. 'Women like her would always do this! I don't

understand why she has to lure me into a dead end. Ahh, this is driving me crazy!'

"Why won't you just admit that you're the one who has a dirty mind? It takes a vulgar person to talk and

think dirty!" Daisy retorted. Before Edward could say anything, she had already turned her back and

walked back towards the house, thinking that she must leave here as soon as possible or else she

could be driven mad by him. She had already walked a few steps away from Edward when she

suddenly stopped. Suddenly, she turned around, walked back to Edward, and pulled the coat off his

shoulders. 'You deserve the cold, shameless perv!' she thought with a scowl on her face. She stuck her

tongue out at him and walked away.

Edward blinked, uncomprehending the series of events. Suddenly, he laughed loudly. It seemed that

his little girl really blew up this time, thus this childish behavior. He knew Daisy well enough to figure out

what she was thinking and what she wanted -- right now, it was time to humor her. He jogged up to her

and slung his arm over her shoulders, their laughter soon filling the cold, winter air.

Later on the night, Edward had arrived at Sexy World. He saw that Duke and Tom were there, too. If

Rain had invited their whole group, it could only mean that he really wanted to get plastered tonight.

"Buying drinks for all of us, Rain? Well, aren't you so generous..." Tom teased, elbowing Rain's side.

Tom had begged Patricia to let him go out with his friends. She made him promise over and over again

that he would behave himself. Tom practically knelt down on his knees in front of her before she let him

go.

"You've missed something significant, Jerry. He might be mean in a general way, but he is always

generous when it comes to liquor," Duke said with his lips curled into a sneer. He was referring to how

Rain had lost a fortune when he and Edward sloped off without paying the huge bill many years ago. It

was still fresh in his memory after all these years.

"Of course, there's no need to worry. Drink as much as you like. Edward is very capable to pay for

everything!" Rain said a bit loudly, his words slurring. He had arrived here before anyone else, and had

already downed a few drinks, which made him reek of booze.

"Oi! I never knew that this was supposed to be my treat. Don't count on me!" Edward replied. He

casually tossed his coat aside, found himself a comfortable position and sat down. He gave a sigh of

relief -- it took him a long time before Daisy forgave him for the things he had said.

"Aren't you the boss? That automatically makes you obliged to pay for the bill!" Rain replied, sounding

like Edward had asked a stupid question. Rain grabbed his glass, and downed its contents before

slamming it back down on the table.

"What's the occasion anyway? What blow have you suffered exactly that has made you drink like a

fish?" Edward asked while gracefully turning a cup over and pouring himself some wine.

"Who were you talking about? Me? Got a blow? Come on, is it so wrong to ask my buddies out for a

drink?" Rain denied, not wanting to show his pain and sorrow. He reached across the table to get more Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

liquor.

"Or do you think that he meant us? Come on, what happened? You weren't like this even when Annie

left. And now, you look like your life is falling apart," Duke asked, drumming his fingers on the table.

From what Belinda had told him, Annie seemed not very eager to be reconciled to Rain. Duke wasn't

surprised. After all, it was quite normal if their relationship went cold after so many years apart.

"Shut up. Don't be a wet blanket, dude. Let's talk about anything else but her," Rain said. He raised his

glass in the air. "I propose a toast!" Rain cheered. But Duke's words had gotten to him, especially when

he heard Annie's name. Her return was like a stab in the chest. While she was away, he could still

dream about meeting her once again. But now that she was here, and seemingly with another man, he

felt as if his heart had shattered into a million pieces. At this point, he had completely lost all hope.

"You shouldn't keep running away from your problems, Rain, I'm sure you're aware that Fred is in S

City. There's no way he'd go out of his way to attend some small-time talent show. It's pretty obvious

what or who he's really here for," Edward said. He took a sip from his glass, looking intently at Rain to

see how he would react.

"And so? Why should I care?" Rain forced a smile. 'Tch. Of course they'd side with Fred. He looks more

of a family man than I'll ever be, ' Rain thought, a wave of pain running through his chest. He filled up

his glass and lifted it to his mouth, emptying it with one swift gulp.
