Chapter 338: Chapter 337: Baby, you don’t know how blessed you are
Daisy tilted her head and looked at him: "Do you want some?"
Edward opened his mouth and took a gummy from her hand.
Strawberry flavored, sweet and sour, it was a taste Daisy liked.
He lifted his eyes, glanced at Daisy who was casually propping up her face, and smiled lightly with lowered eyes.
*
Daisy has a preference for Chinese flavors. Chinatown offers authentic Chinese food, and every day after work, they would go to a nearby Chinese restaurant for a meal.
As for taste, Daisy doesn’t have many strict demands; she isn’t very picky and can be easily pleased.
After dinner, it was already eight at night.
Chicago was bustling with crowds; at night, it was still busy with streams of people.
The black Bentley slowly moved down the street, and Daisy rolled down the car window to look outside.
The unfamiliar city, neon lights dazzling, the bustling accents from various countries interwove into a buzzing noise, no matter how many times she saw it, she felt somewhat uncomfortable.
She felt like she’s a very conservative person, whether it’s about friends or cities, she can’t quickly accept something new.
Suddenly, a warmth spread across the back of her hand, pulling Daisy back to reality. She looked down and saw the man’s long fingers resting on her hand.
The platinum diamond ring on his ring finger sparkled under the dazzling neon lights.
It symbolized his married status.
Daisy herself had long taken off her ring, while he still wore it honestly every day.
"What are you thinking about?"
The man’s voice, deeper and richer than usual, transmitted over, carrying a sense of inquiry.
Daisy propped up her face, smiled and said, "The place you grew up in is really big."
Edward looked at her and spoke gently: "Not that big. You’re new here, once I take you out more often, you’ll get used to it."
"What if I can’t get used to it?" She hooked her lips into a smile, the night was enchanting, her expression under the neon carried a hint of provocation, yet she remained stunningly beautiful.
"Then I’ll accompany you to the places you like."
He spoke beautifully.
Daisy chuckled lowly, reached out to rub his face a couple of times, "Can the words of a fraud be believed?"
Edward allowed her to pinch him, didn’t resist, his dark eyes carried a shadowy blue hue, quietly watching her, there was a faint shimmer in his eyes under the dim light, looking tame, obedient.
Ultimately, it’s just words spoken well.
Everyone knew.
He could only stay in Chicago in the future.
He would only keep her in this place.

Back in the small villa, as Daisy was just sent into the living room by him, Edward’s phone rang, an unknown caller drew him away in a hurry.
Daisy stood at the door, watching him re-dressing with the servant’s help, lazily yawned, "Will you be back tonight?"
The man pulled her into his arms, kissed her cheeks a few times, "I’ll be back soon."
He released her and left in a hurry under the escort of the crowd.
His tall, straight figure and outstanding charisma made him recognizable among many.
He’s becoming more imposing...
Quite different from the lazy demeanor back in Banyan City.
But he was raised by the Stephens family with numerous resources since childhood, in a small place like Banyan City, could be considered recuperating, perhaps this is his true nature, she only just came to realize this side of him.
Charlotte was waiting for him at the door.
Daisy watched Charlotte and Edward get into the car together, slowly withdrew her gaze, and stepped upstairs.
When Daisy turned around, she didn’t know the two people in the car were watching her.
Edward adjusted his cufflinks, gazing at Daisy’s departing figure, asked, "Did she go again today?"
"Yes," Charlotte responded, speaking softly, "Returned at three in the afternoon."
Edward’s eyes darkened slightly in the dim car because of Charlotte’s words.
He stared at Daisy’s figure until it disappeared at the top of the stairs, completely out of sight, before slowly retracting his gaze.
"Drive," he said to the driver.
The car smoothly moved forward, Charlotte sat beside Edward, secretly startled by the sudden cold air emanating from him.
Daisy might not have thought that the first time she secretly visited the cemetery in the outskirts and looked at that tombstone, Edward already knew.
Perhaps because of this, he wanted to change her medication.
In this world, no husband would tolerate his wife holding another man in her heart, Edward was no exception.
Of course he would be jealous.
He would also be envious.
She was too naive, thinking that staying by Edward’s side was enough, ultimately...
She didn’t understand the true nature of the Stephens family at all.

In the study, Daisy chatted with Oliver Rubio about the company’s matters.
In Banyan City, it was still daytime, Oliver Rubio had a video chat with her for a while, talked about the company’s layoffs, and reassured her that internal operations were smooth, telling her to settle down well in Chicago with Edward, don’t worry about it.
The people around her knew nothing, for now, still had a good impression of Edward the big fraud, even spoke positively about him.
Separated by distance, there were fewer words exchanged, Daisy chatted with Oliver Rubio for a while, then closed the video.
A man’s voice came from behind: "Finished talking?"
Daisy turned around and saw Edward, dressed in home attire, wearing slippers, holding a cup of hot coffee, not knowing when he returned.
She was slightly surprised, raised her eyebrows slightly, got up from the chair, and walked out.
"You’re back so early?"
"Just a brief meeting." The man followed behind her, his tone lazy, like a big cat.
Daisy responded, pushed open the bedroom door, and was about to head into the bathroom to shower.
Her waist was pulled slightly, she turned her head, saw the man smiling as he put down the coffee cup on the counter, "Let’s take a shower together."
Daisy eyed him, knowing he’d be mischievous again.
This guy, even modestly dressed in a suit, nearly every night at home, even if considerate of her, never lasting too long, but he wanted it every single day, she’d joke he would run out one day.
Seeing him smile like that, Daisy started to feel a headache, her waist began to ache, her legs softened.
She leaned against the door frame, blinked, negotiating with him, "How about I buy you an electric one? Realistic, one to one, how about it?"
The man snorted a laugh, nudged her neck slowly, "Fine then..."
Daisy, "Then I’ll order one now?"
"I want it to look like you."
"..." Daisy, "I’m serious."
Judging by his frequency, she might just be the first to run overboard.
Edward cupped her face, laughing, slowly leading her towards the bathroom: "Darling, you’re not appreciating your blessings..."
"..." Daisy didn’t know what it meant to not appreciate blessings, she wanted to find someone to eliminate this pesky teddy dog gone rogue.
