Chapter 254: Chapter 254: Got married, what’s wrong with looking at you a few times
Edward Stephens caught the plastic bottle, raised his eyebrows, leaned one hand on the steering wheel, and looked at her innocently.
That expression was so pure, making her raging anger feel like such an overreaction!
Edward tossed the plastic bottle up and down nonchalantly, "I specifically went to the pharmacy to buy this for you. I see you’ve been staying up late every day lately, looking quite worn out."
Daisy Ginger let out a cold laugh, believing him would be ridiculous.
"You can have it yourself."
Edward paused his actions, casting a glance at her with his charming, seductive eyes.
Daisy knew he was teasing her, but her heart still raced. She reached out to snatch the plastic bottle, "You’re not allowed to have it!"
The man shrugged, "I knew you liked it."
"..." She didn’t like it at all.
Daisy glared at him fiercely, stuffing the herbal pills into her bag, and warned, "I really need to review the contract tonight."
Edward leaned against the steering wheel, lazily replied, "Oh."
"I don’t have time to go to bed early with you. If you’re sleepy, go to sleep by yourself."
"It’s okay. I haven’t been sleeping alone for a week anyway." He leaned back in his seat, counting with his fingers, "Monday, you said you had to work late, came back at ten-thirty at night, and got up at five-thirty in the morning; Tuesday, you said you had a social event, came back at eleven, got up at five, and then worked overtime to Friday..." Edward glanced at her, "You’ve been so busy lately, Mrs. Stephens."
Daisy shuddered at his wistful tone.
This guy had the nerve to complain to her!
Who was the one who made her take half a month off?
"I’m hungry." Daisy withdrew her gaze, looked ahead with a straight face, "I want to eat."
The man chuckled low, not arguing with her any further. While driving, his lips were lazily curved, showing a bit of nonchalant grace.
Daisy watched his face through the rearview mirror.
Honestly, with the way she’s been coming and going all week, they hadn’t even exchanged many words, and she did miss him a little.
As the sun set, the man’s face remained fair and handsome, his aura leaning towards the cold side, yet his slight smile melted that cold facade, akin to the first thaw of ice and snow, possessing a captivating allure.
Daisy’s heart skipped a beat, meeting his smiling eyes in the rearview mirror, which narrowed subtly, teasing gleams flickering from their depths.
She quickly turned her eyes away, nonchalantly looking out the window, while his low chuckle resonated in her ears.
Humph, Daisy’s ears turned a bit red, what’s the big deal, even after being married, is it wrong to glance at you?

Edward Stephens parked the car at a hotel.
On the forty-fifth floor of the hotel was a high-end western restaurant with a panoramic view of Banyan City’s nightscape.
Edward took her hand, spoke a few words to the hostess at the door, and someone immediately came up to lead them to the elevator.
Daisy remarked, "Eating well tonight, huh?"
Edward casually said, "I reserved it a week ago, but you’ve been so busy lately, it’s pushed to today."
His words made Daisy feel a twinge of guilt. Alone at home, with seemingly no friends in Banyan City, isn’t it boring?
She had to work, and they only seemed to meet in the morning and evening, with time together, apart from holidays, really being rare.
Daisy felt a unique sense of unease, typical of a neglectful partner: "Aren’t you bored at home alone?"
Edward glanced at her, "It’s alright."
"What about your friends? They haven’t asked you out lately?"
"Traveling the world with beauties," Edward was used to Ryan Smith indulging in women’s company all day, replying languidly, "Out of touch."
"..." Daisy coughed a few times, stammered, "If you... go to bed earlier at night, I can skip the overtime."
Edward raised an eyebrow playfully, "Oh?"
Daisy pouted, "That’s what I mean. Reflect on what you’ve done to me this past month!"
The man’s voice lowered slightly, "Hmm? I thought this month has been quite fulfilling."
"..." You’re not even working!

Daisy followed Edward into the hotel suite.
Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, thousands of lights began to shine, like stars igniting, twinkling like a galaxy.
Daisy propped her chin, sighed softly, "No matter when I see it, no matter how many times, it’s always breathtaking."
Edward poured her a glass of water, "If you like it, we can move here."
Daisy snorted, "Burning up your money?" It’s tens of thousands a night; even though Daisy was wealthy, she didn’t see the necessity.
The beautiful night view, seeing it a few times a year was enough, always fresh and new, as humans are creatures of novelty.
Edward sipped his water slowly, "This little bit of money is still manageable."
To people of their affluent background, spending four or five million a year on hotels was like a drop in the bucket, without any stress.
Daisy looked at him, reached out, and pinched his face, sighing, "When we got together before, I didn’t know your family was so rich."
Edward leaned back in his chair, lazily looking up, "Now you know, what’s your impression?"
"What are you proud of? You’re still living off me, aren’t you?" Daisy raised her chin arrogantly, "Everything you eat and wear, I bought!"
"Alright," Edward nodded, "My dear patron, I’m ready."
"..."
Edward looked up at her, "I can’t just eat for free."
"..."
"I think," Edward clasped his fingers on the table, speaking elegantly, "I should serve you well."
Daisy avoided Edward’s suggestive gaze, awkwardly changing the topic.
"I went to the hospital to see Abigail Perry a few days ago."
