Journey to Happy Ending

Chapter 228 He Really Fell In Love With Her (Part One)

At this moment, Edward knew that he really fell in love with her. He had never experienced such

feelings before. His heart wrenched at the feeling -- it was miserable. As he approached the army base

his thoughts grew more tangled.

'What if she's not there? Even if she is at the base, what do I do if I'm not allowed in?' thought Edward. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

Endless questions filled his brain, making him lose his mind. This was unlike the master strategist, the

smiling tiger CEO. But business and love are two different beasts.

The car rolled to a stop at the gates of the army base. Looking at the powerful solders standing guard,

he never hated who he was as much as today. He suddenly had a thought that it would be wonderful if

he were a common soldier, so he wouldn't be kept outside.

He dialed Daisy's number again, but the answer was still the same. Her phone was turned off. He

sneered, bitterness clenched his heart. 'Daisy, didn't you promise that you'd trust me under any

circumstances? You jumped to conclusions without even giving me a chance to explain. Is it because

that you don't care about me at all? Or do you regret the decision you made before?

Daisy, do you know how disappointed I feel when you walked away? You ignore all the love and care

I've showed to you. What about the love that we've shared? You are special, different from other

women. I really trusted you to keep your promise, that no matter what happens, you would wait for my

explanation. But the promise you made couldn't even withstand this small test, ' thought Edward.

He narrowed his eyes and tapped quickly on the cellphone with his fingers, lines of words quickly

formed a message. As soon as he finished the final word, he immediately tapped 'send' and waited for

the message to be sent. He had time, so he could be patient. He put his cellphone on the seat next to

him and slowly rolled down the car window. The heat from outside hit him all at once, like a blast, and

immediately he could feel himself sweating.

He gently pushed the door open and got out of the car. He leaned on the vehicle in a graceful manner,

like a lazy leopard. He gazed firmly at the majestic gates of the army base. His relaxed gesture was

very charming and disarming. He looked good doing it. But the soldiers standing on each side of the

gate were so annoying. Edward wished they had never existed.

In the past, he would have arrogantly barged in. But he knew he couldn't do that, because that kind of

behavior would certainly cause trouble for Daisy. So he chose to wait.

He sneered with self-mockery. When did the haughty Edward get accustomed to waiting for someone?

In the past, it was what he hated most. When he wanted something, he got it, and had no patience for

waiting. But he broke many of his own rules since he met Daisy.

For the first time, he let Daisy kiss his sexy thin lips which many women longed for. For the first time,

he couldn't fall asleep because he wanted to know why she cried. For the first time, he made so many

efforts to protect her from being troubled by his affairs. For the first time, he waited for Daisy to get off

work just to surprise her. For the first time, he was flabbergasted by her sudden kiss. For the first time,

he changed his decadent night lifestyle for her. All these first times made him more patient. As if waiting

for her had become his way of loving her, while he was totally unaware of it.

Luke arrived a little later than Edward. Edward drove too fast, he must have been pushing the

maximum speed his car could go. It was impossible for Luke to catch up with him. So he lagged behind

by Edward's car -- which was racing like a rocket. Luke was often running later than Edward recently,

so he wondered if it was necessary for him to get a faster car. If this situation continued, what if there

were some emergency? His primary task was to protect Edward. It was not a good thing to always lag

behind. Luke thought.

He looked at Edward who looked very depressed, Luke also felt very sad for him. He had never seen

Edward care so much about any woman. But to Mrs. Mu, Mr. Mu seemed to like her very much, almost

doting on her. He had done many things which he would never do before. Luke found that Edward

really loved her, he was a completely different man from the amorous playboy he used to be.

He knew that Mr. Mu was troubled by Jessica's pregnancy recently. But he was pretty sure that the

child in Jessica's belly couldn't be Mr. Mu's. He was involved in Mr. Mu's almost every affair, so he

knew who Mr. Mu had been with and when. So he knew well about Edward's private matters.

The screeching of brakes shattered the reverie that Edward and Luke were lost in. They turned their

heads to look at the green Humvee which came to a sudden stop. Then they saw Mark quickly got out

of the car. Edward was excited and came to life. He was more animated than Luke had ever seen. Was

Daisy there? He walked quickly towards the military car. But to his surprise, he didn't see Daisy inside.

His heart sank again.
