Chapter 157: Chapter 157: More Arrogant Than Her
Chloe Brooke looked at her, her face flushed and full of surprise,
Daisy Ginger smiled at her, looped her arm through Edward Stephens’, and walked with him to the second floor of the restaurant.
Once Daisy’s figure disappeared from sight, Chloe, with slightly red cheeks, turned back and saw Ian Linton, feeling a bit embarrassed, "Darling, I’ve kept you waiting!"
Ian Linton’s handsome and gentle face wore a faint smile as he said softly, "It’s okay. As long as you’re happy."
What Chloe liked most was his gentle and indulgent demeanor. She reached out, looped her arm through Ian’s, and gave him a peck on the cheek, "You’re the best, darling!"
Ian remained unchanged in expression, calmly taking her into the restaurant, "What do you want to eat tonight?"
...
After ordering, handing the menu to the waiter, Daisy Ginger proudly flicked her tail at Edward Stephens, "Did you see that? I can charm both men and women."
Edward nodded, "I saw."
"You better be careful, if I get whisked away you’ll never find me back."
Edward chuckled, "Where do you plan to run to?"
Daisy propped her face up, twirling her long hair with one hand, glanced at him lazily, "With my looks, finding someone better looking and richer than you is just a matter of closing my eyes."
Edward took a sip of iced water, "That you can’t be sure of."
Daisy raised her chin, "Are you saying I’m not pretty enough?"
"I just think there’s no one better looking and richer than me in this world."
Daisy: "..."
Even more conceited than her?
Daisy burst out laughing, reached out to pinch his face, "That’s not wrong."
No one better looking than him is richer, and no one richer than him looks better, which makes it seem like she’s got the best deal?
Daisy’s tail wagged a little, feeling a bit secretly pleased.
Cantonese cuisine suited Daisy’s taste, she ate quite a lot, while Edward seemed lost in thought at times, sometimes staring dazedly, other times just sitting there watching her eat, his deep dark eyes often seemed full of untold stories, especially when he was actually pondering something.
Daisy couldn’t see what he was thinking, just unsure whether to ask him.
Being able to simply come out with Edward for a meal, chat, and talk was already a joy for her, she didn’t know about his matters, and wasn’t sure if she should meddle.
After finishing dinner, Daisy sat enjoying her dessert when Edward got up to pay the bill at the cashier.
"Want to eat anything else, we can have them pack it up."
Returning after settling the bill, Edward saw Daisy still seated, asked.
"Oh, I’m full." Daisy put down her dessert, stood up, and looped her arm with Edward’s arm, "If you have something important to do, just let me know, there’s no need to force yourself to come out for a meal with me, I’m not that unreasonable."
Edward reached out to take the bouquet of roses Daisy had placed on the seat, paused slightly upon hearing her words.
He lowered his eyes, looking at Daisy’s curled eyelashes, her gaze was straight ahead, not focused on him.
"The matter I had my friend investigate a few days ago has results now, but it’s a bit unexpected," Edward placed the flowers into Daisy’s arms, "There’s nothing urgent, don’t overthink it."
"Are the results not good?" Daisy turned her head, her brows furrowed with some concern.
