Journey to Happy Ending novel Chapter 72

Mary quietly listened to Belinda and the others. She felt that they got along well with each other but in a strange way. They were neither lovers nor friends, but she could perceive their unusual chemistry.

Belinda felt perturbed, realizing how rude she had been. However, she felt embarrassed to make an apology, because she didn't know what to say. Belinda intended to defend Daisy, but in doing so, she had offended Edward who was a big shot of the City. She knew Edward would mind.

"Excuse me. I have to leave. Good day everyone." With these words, she left hurriedly. Belinda had the ability to admit and correct her mistakes. Whenever she lost her temper, she would leave the room. She would never invite humiliation her way. Though, she always escaped from Edward in a flurried haste.

Edward didn't mind her leaving abruptly as he was used to it.

Rain concealed his smirk. Edward was the most brute man in the world who had a sharp tongue. Rain was no match for him when it came to debate and discussions, let alone Belinda.

"Let's go back." Edward glanced at the expensive watch on his wrist and stepped out.

After hanging up the phone, Daisy went upstairs to look for Justin, wondering what the little guy was up to. She gently pushed the door, only to find that it was locked.

Daisy knocked on the door and waited for the door to be opened.

"Mummy, what's wrong?" Justin gaped at Daisy, pretending to be sleepy.

"What were you doing? Why was the door locked?" Daisy popped her head inside and examined the room.

"I wasn't doing anything. I was just sleeping." Justin stuttered, giving no definite reply. He couldn't tell his mother that he was making plans with his online friends to bring his parents back together. Could he tell her that? Of course not, otherwise he was in for a significant punishment. It would be terrible.

"Is it necessary to lock the door when you're sleeping?" Obviously, Daisy didn't buy it.

"Why shouldn't I? You also lock the door when you and dad sleep, right? I have a personal life. You can't deprive me of my privacy." Just this morning, he tried to open the door to his dad's room, but it was locked for the first time in days.

"Oh? Would you tell me your secrets?" Daisy's face reddened. She was burning up at the thought of what she did with Edward this morning.

She pinched Justin's face lovingly, wondering when this little guy started to have secrets.

"Ha-ha! Mom, I just need two things from you. First, you can't enter my room without my permission. Second, don't rummage around my room after you enter." Justin scratched his head, thinking if he had missed something.

"Okay. Just two things I can live with that." Daisy smiled tenderly.

"Mom, how would you like going out for a bite with dad tonight?" Justin looked at Daisy expectantly. A romantic evening always began with a nice dinner.

"Why do you want to eat out? Are you tired of eating at home?" Daisy was baffled because Justin had never proposed to go out for dinner. Were his habits changing because of the time he spent with Edward?

"Yeah. I want to eat something different tonight. Let's pick up dad from work and go out to have a fun dinner, okay?" Justin shook Daisy's hand hard. He wouldn't give up until his goal was reached.

"Dad keeps busy. We can't go to his office without telling him in advance." Daisy liked the idea, but she was hesitant as she was uncertain about Edward's attitude. She didn't know whether Edward sincerely loved her or not. .

"It's okay. Mom, we won't disturb his work if we go upstairs when he gets off the clock." Justin continued to persuade Daisy. This was part of his plan. He wanted all the women at the office to give up the idea of playing up to his dad as his dad was still a married man.

"Fine. I'll call daddy to see if he can have dinner with us tonight." Although Edward had just called to say that he would come back early, no one could predict what would happen next in the business world. Some unexpected business could come up any time.

"Don't bother. Mom, I have already asked Uncle Aaron. Daddy is free tonight." If Daisy called Edward, Edward wouldn't be surprised. Justin had just discussed this plan with his friends. He wanted to put it in motion at the earliest.

"Uncle Aaron? Who is he? You know him?" Daisy was confused. A lot of things had happened when she was absent. Justin's world had changed immensely.

Alas! If Daisy knew how Justin dealt with those women who flirted with Edward, she would be shocked.

"Uncle Aaron is dad's assistant. He knows dad's schedule very well." Justin grinned wickedly.

"Do you often go to dad's office?" Daisy asked casually while unconsciously tapping the table, and making a soft, melodious tune.

"Yeah. Dad often takes me there. It's really fun." Justin smiled innocently. It was indeed fun. He drove a woman mad just a few days ago.

Daisy was lost in her thoughts. When she'd take Justin to Edward, she didn't expect that Edward would be very welcoming towards Justin as Edward wasn't too fond of either one of them.

She still remembered how scared she was about Edward refusing to accept Justin, so she left hurriedly before he was ready that day. She didn't want anything bad to happen.

But it seemed that now Edward was very nice to Justin, or else he wouldn't take him to his office. No one would allow someone he didn't like to stay too close to him.
