Journey to Happy Ending novel Chapter 176

"You're always tied up everyday, and I don't want to interrupt your work. Besides, it's nothing serious. Are you angry with me?" While he was talking to Daisy, Edward fixed his eyes on her injured arm. Justin had done a great job with the bandage, and the blood had quickly stopped oozing out of the wound.

He cast a deep look at Justin, who was bothered by Leena, and felt quite grateful to him. Justin had grown to be pretty outstanding, and that was all thanks to Daisy, who was an excellent mother. He wasn't like the other boys of his age, unreasonable and mischievous.

Daisy then remembered Edward furiously yelling at her, and while she slightly became upset, she said, "No, I'm not. I'm not you..."

"Huh! So you're saying now that I'm angry?" Edward stroked her nose, and then affectionately looked at her upset face.

"Are you sure you aren't angry? You shouted pretty loud; the others might think that I may be terminally ill." Daisy unsatisfactorily rolled her eyes, an act that she seldom did, but recently she seemed to be doing it quite often. What had happened to all of her poise and seriousness?

"Daisy, that's just how Edward is; you know he often makes a mountain out of a lousy mole hill. You'll get used to it," said Duke. He was relieved when he saw Daisy's arm getting wrapped up, and when his mood lightened, he began to make fun of Edward.

"Duke's right. Daisy, don't be afraid of him. Edward is just a paper tiger. His bark is worse than his bite." Rain also returned to his usual self, and as he laughed about it, Annie suddenly mumbled in his arms.

Edward mischievously squinted his eyes, and said, "Don't you have to take Annie home? If you're free, you should go and straighten things out with the entertainment company tomorrow." He might have given Rain a break if he had just remained silent, but Rain had to continue to make fun of him. Edward had to fight back, because, after all, Daisy had been hurt saving Rain's Annie.

"Oh, no! Edward, aren't you supposed to deal with that? Besides, I'm not familiar with the company's beauties." Rain regretted that he had joked about Edward, and that his big mouth had invited trouble.

"So you're saying that I'm familiar with them?" Edward looked at Rain indignantly; he was basically a fix in all of these women's lives, but he was now saying that he didn't know them. It was also known that Rain's bad boy look had captured a few of the starlets' hearts.

"You're familiar with them. I remember when you used to go out with a different woman every day, and I remember that some of them are starlets." 'Humph! I'm dead no matter what, but I will drag you down with me, ' complained Rain in mind. He didn't think that Daisy could take the news well without being mad at Edward.

"Silly Rain, maybe you think that you're still too free with the entertainment company on your hand; I think you should also draft the bidding plan for the YG Estate." He was Edward, and only he had the privilege to make fun of the others, not the other way around.

"Argh! Come on, seriously? If I do all of this work, then what will you do?" Rain was shocked, because he had never seen this coming. Had he just dug his own grave? Maybe he was set up by Edward, as he initially thought.

"As you can see, Daisy is injured. And that means that I'll stay at home to take care of her." Edward smirked at him. It was classic for Rain to choose the wrong moment, and say the wrong thing.

"..."

Rain was completely speechless, and regretfully stroked his forehead. He could only sigh, and languish. 'God, just kill me already! My life is too miserable to be even true!' protested Rain in his mind.

"Huh, Rain, you could have ended up less miserable if you had just shut your mouth," said Belinda, and while she gestured to Annie, she quipped, "And by the way, where did you steal such a beautiful girl?"

"I didn't steal her, okay? I'm not as shameless as your husband." Rain curled his lips and formed an evil smile. He knew what he could use to verbally fight back, because he had overheard how Belinda and Duke got married at the game they just played.

"Are you calling me shameless?" Duke glanced at him, and scanned him from top to bottom. His chilly eyes seemed to freeze Rain in place.

"Wow! You adapted to your husband role pretty quickly. Has my harmless joke harmed you, huh, Husband Duke? Edward, you do agree with me, huh?" He couldn't endure Duke's cold stare alone, and he needed Edward's backup. Or else he might have got killed by Duke's harsh stare.

"Mr. Mu, Mr. Tom Qin is here," said Luke. The boisterous scene fell into silence by Luke's report. All of them had fixed their eyes on the pleasant and gentle young man behind him.

"Hi, everybody! Long time no see! I see you're all doing well without me; that's good." Tom grinned gorgeously. He looked like a learned and cultivated man.

"Stop showing off your white teeth, and come here and check on Daisy, she's injured. And by the way, when did you come back from overseas?" Edward speechlessly rolled his eyes. Why did Tom come here in person? Wasn't he staying abroad and studying new subjects?

"Just now. I had just put my luggage down, when Mrs. Wu called, and I decided to come over. What, you don't want me here? Should I just go home and get you another doctor?" Tom didn't mind Edward's anger at all; he was still that graceful gentleman.

"... Edward, your nemesis is here, and there will be a lot more drama in the coming days." Rain smiled mischievously again, because he didn't have to endure Duke's cold stare any longer.

All of the crowd cast a disdainful look at Rain, because he was gloating too much, and too obviously.

"You must be Daisy. My name is Tom Qin, and it's a pleasure to meet you!" Tom glanced around and then fixed his eyes on Daisy, the one that needed his treatment, and then walked over to her.

Daisy smiled apologetically, and said, "Hello, I'm Daisy, and thank you so much for coming over here! I'm really sorry for having to trouble you!" Tom was another type of handsome man, completely different from Edward and the others. He made people feel comfortable, and happy, when they saw him.
