Journey to Happy Ending

Chapter 179 Reward

The morning breeze gently swept over Daisy's face. The soothing breath of wind had made her feel

very delighted, and she gazed at Edward, who was driving the car attentively, and couldn't help but

display a soft smile; she felt like she was the happiest woman in the world.

"Why are you looking at me? Is there something dirty on my face?" asked Edward. When Edward

turned his head and looked at Daisy, he met with her eyes, and saw that they had been already

focused on him.

"Yes, there is," she replied. Daisy teased him with a joyful expression, and she found that it felt good to

be cared and loved by someone.

With a charming smile, Edward raised his eyebrows, and said, "Do you really think I believe you?" He

knew that he was not that kind of sloppy man, and he was proud of maintaining his good looks perfect

at any time.

"You don't have to drop me off to work, it's only a small flesh wound; I can drive the car by myself. It's

not a big deal, so don't make a big fuss about it. Did you forget that I'm a soldier in the army?" said

Daisy. But her heart betrayed her words. She was very excited when Edward insisted on personally

taking her to work, because she really enjoyed being with him. She cherished the beautiful moments

when she raised her head, and she could see his handsome face.

"Oh? Really? I remember someone saying the exact same thing when she went out yesterday night,

but she got back with a wound. Do you really think that I'll listen to your words now?" said Edward. He

was upset because Daisy had brought up the topic.

"It was only an accident, because I was too confident with myself, otherwise, they couldn't have gotten

the slightest chance to hurt me. Anyway, things like that don't just happen everyday," replied Daisy. It

had been only a mishap, but now she was looked down upon by Edward.

"That's hard to say. I'd better be more cautious and send you there by myself." Edward didn't want to

experience the awful, frightening feelings that he had experienced yesterday. He was very distraught, This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

and if this were to ever happen again, he would be beyond heartbroken. Thinking of this, Edward was

surprised that he would have such feelings for Daisy. His heart ached because of Daisy's wound, and

he wondered if this indicated that he was actually caring more about Daisy now...

Daisy noticed Edward's sad look in his eyes, and while she frowned, she asked, "What's wrong?"

"Oh! It's nothing... Look, we've arrived!" Edward stopped the car, and then replied to her with an

assuring smile.

"Okay. You don't have to pick me up after work, because Mark will drive me back. I want him to learn

the way to your house," said Daisy. In case there ever was an emergency, Daisy thought that it would

be very useful to let Mark know where she lived. As her accompanying officer, he would know where to

find her, if anything happened.

"Okay, I see. Be careful how you handle your wound! Don't make it split!" said Edward, while taking a

glance at her wounded arm, and frowning, concerned.

"Don't worry, I'll be extra careful. Go back to work now!" replied Daisy, with a smile on her face. She

then pushed the car's door open, and when she was just about to get out of it, her wrist was suddenly

gripped by Edward, who was looking at her with grievance.

"What's the matter? Did you forget about something?" asked Daisy, still confused by his move.

"Don't I get a reward? Were you going to just leave off like that?" said Edward, with a cunning smile

flashing in his eyes.

"Reward? What reward?" asked Daisy, flabbergasted. It seemed that she didn't understand what

Edward was trying to say to her.

"What do you think? Shouldn't you give me a kiss to thank me for driving you here?" It was really

difficult to make Edward be less brazen, but Daisy didn't expect that he would stop at nothing to get

what he wanted. It surprised her that he would ask for a reward for such trifling little thing.

"Emm... Did you plan it? Did you drive me to work with that purpose from the beginning?" said Daisy,

examining him dubiously, while thinking about how to get away with it.

Hearing Daisy's words, Edward pursed his lips, and thought 'What is she thinking? I'm not that

shameless as she thinks I am. I'm only asking for a kiss. Oh! She wronged me so much!'

"Daisy, you're trying to spoil all the romance..." Edward became a little angry, and he released her hand

and looked away with a downcast expression. 'Why am I always the one who has to beg shamelessly

to her? Couldn't she be more tender and romantic to me, and satisfy my wish this one time?'

A gentle kiss then suddenly flickered over his handsome face like a feather. Before Edward could even

realize it, Daisy had already gotten out the car, and had started to run towards the military base. She

turned her head at Edward, and showed him a cunning smile.

Edward touched the spot where she had kissed him, and shook his head. While smiling, he thought,

'When did Daisy become so naughty and sly? Oh, she surprised me this time!'

Daisy was in a good mood today, and when she passed through the gate of the base, she showed a

lovely smile to the soldiers that were on duty. Their jaws almost dropped when they saw her joyful look,

and while they stared at each other with confusion, they wondered what had made the aloof colonel

look so gentle and soft today.

Kevin frowned and looked at Daisy with concern, and asked, "Daisy, what happened to your hand?" As

soon as she had passed through the gate, Kevin showed up. He cried out when he noticed Daisy's

wound, and for the moment he was totally unaware of his manner in public.

"Oh! It's not a big deal, it's only a flesh wound with a couple of stitches. Don't worry, it will heal soon

enough, and I think it won't affect the military exercises that we have to do in a couple of days," said

Daisy, with a gentle smile on her face. She walked with Kevin towards the office building, and their

intimacy made someone's heart sink.

Edward had been looking at them for the whole time, and he hit the driving wheel with fury. His

delighted mood had been completely spoiled by Kevin's appearance. He thought, 'Why did I forget the

fact that Kevin works with Daisy? Hmm, it seems that I have to win her heart as soon as possible. I

can't bear the thought of him getting Daisy, just because he has the advantage of a favored position...'

He had thought to wait in the parking lot for a while, and look at her until she entered the office building.

He didn't expect to see them being so close together, and although he watched them from a distance,

he felt Kevin's enthusiastic stare on Daisy. It made him feel jealous, and it made him have the urge to

fight Kevin.

He glanced deeply at them until they disappeared inside the building, and then turned the key. The car

started quickly, and soon disappeared from the place, and the parking lot fell into silence again, as if

the car had never parked there.
