Journey to Happy Ending

Chapter 42 My Wife

Edward had been waiting for a long time, leaning against the car door. He sighed in relief when he saw

a man, dressed like an officer, coming out, because he was not the man that Edward had seen in the

photo.

The moment Mark Du reached the gate, he noticed Edward, because of the dazzling car Edward was

standing next to. Mark Du looked him up and down and noticed that this man had a fair skin and an

angular face with black eyes, bushy eyebrows, high nose and beautiful lips, which showed grace and

nobility. 'Oh! No wonder he is so arrogant! He turns out to be qualified to behave like this. His

temperament does overwhelm everyone around, let alone the fact that he drove this irrationally

expensive car. But why do I feel like I have met him before?' Mark thought.

"Hello, I am Edward Mu." Edward introduced himself first, looking at Mark Du's dull expression.

"Well. Hello, Mr. Mu! I'm the accompanying officer for Colonel Daisy. you can call me Mark. Could you

show me your credentials before I can let you in?" Mark Du came to himself and asked professionally.

Edward was prepared. He handed over all the required documents, including the marriage licence that

he had picked up in the spur of the moment.

Mark Du looked them over and was shocked by his identity. 'This man is the renowned CEO of FX

International Group in S City! No wonder he seems familiar.' Mark had always seen the man's

photographs in the newspapers at the Colonel's home. He didn't remember him distinctly because he

seldom paid much attention to the finance section. The credentials reminded him of who Edward was.

'No wonder the Colonel took Justin to that tall commercial building that day. It turns out to be FX

International Group. I thought the Colonel entrusted Justin to her friend who worked there. I finally

understand why Colonel never tell us who her husband is. It turns out to be the CEO of FX International

Group with a very eminent status.' Mark was thinking to himself.

He returned the credentials to Edward, whispered to the soldiers on duty, and took Edward inside the

building. Luke didn't follow them and stayed in the car because the military base was safe and he didn't

need to worry about Edward's security.

"Mr. Edward, here we are. Do you need me to come along with you?" Mark asked. Mark felt no need to

go along since Edward was the Colonel's husband. He still asked out of politeness.

"Oh, I will go by myself, thank you." Edward thanked Mark Du and felt sorry for troubling him at such a

late hour in the night.

"You are welcome. I will take you leave now." Mark turned around to leave, but he turned back

suddenly as if he had remembered something important.

"Oh! The Colonel has seven days off, beginning tomorrow, she is not required to be in the military

campus during this time and free to spend her time as and where she pleases." Mark Du thought that

he needed to say it suspecting Edward was expecting to take the Colonel with him, seeing Edward's

luxury Maybach still parked at the gateway. 'Edward might not sleep here, ' Mark Du thought to himself.

"Okay. Thank you! Mark, could you please tell the soldiers on duty that I will be taking the Colonel away

after a while." Edward requested. Edward had planned on the way here that he would keep her with

him for a while to connect with her in time, since he couldn't really figure out how he felt about her at Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

the time. Otherwise, he couldn't explain the reason why he suddenly cared for her.

"They've been informed, rest assured. Our Colonel is entrusted to you now." After saying this, Mark

quickly left. He learnt from Daisy Ouyang that he should behave himself instead of rubbing him the

wrong way or finding fault with him.

Edward pushed the door open and entered. He frowned at the cramped space and looked at the room.

All the things were very common but made him feel comfortable and warm.

Daisy Ouyang lay on the sofa dressed in tidy military uniform. Her face was pink and her eyelashes

were shaking slightly. Her delicate and lovely lips grabbed his eyes. Edward looked away from her face

and his face turned red.

This was the first time Edward looked at this woman so closely and felt close too. He looked at her

lovely, sleeping face, smiling and walking to her. He bent, touching her soft skin, and tucked a strand of

hair behind her ear. Unconsciously, he was filled with deep love for her now.

He scanned the room again and took the mobile phone and put it on the table. He tidied her messy

uniform and picked her up. All of a sudden, she mumbled something and buried her head in his arm,

then went back to sleep. Such adorable behaviors delighted Edward. He realized that she looked

delicate and even more beautiful when she was drunk and no longer cold.

Edward picked her up and took her out of the room and closed the door with difficulty. Daisy Ouyang

slept soundly and didn't have a clue of anything. Edward began to anticipate her reaction the next

morning when she found out that she wasn't in her room.

Luke saw Edward embracing someone and walking out. He walked towards him. The soldiers saluted

to Daisy Ouyang, despite the fact that she was sleeping. They passed unobstructed by anyone as Mark

had instructed the soldiers in the regard. Edward nodded to them in gratitude.

"Who is she?" Luke was confused about the identity of the woman in Edward's arms. He didn't realize it

was his wife since he hadn't seen her in several years.

"My wife. Open the door, we are going home in your car, then, call someone and have them drive my

car home." Edward said. Luke was perplexed by what Edward said, but soon he came to himself and

walked out to open the car door.

Edward carefully put Daisy Ouyang in the car and cupping his hands under her head. He put her head

on his lap as Luke made arrangements for the other car to be driven home.
