Chapter 40: Chapter 40: "Kiss you once, why are you shy?

Edward Stephens finished his cold shower and Daisy Ginger had already changed into the dress the servant sent in.

She was facing away from him and called out when she heard him, "Edward Stephens, come over here."

Edward was toweling off his hair, pretending he didn’t hear her.

"Edward Stephens, Edward Stephens, Edward Stephens."

Chattering away, she practically drove him crazy.

He had never met a woman as noisy as Daisy Ginger.

Edward walked over impatiently, "What?"

Daisy Ginger said, "My hair is tangled in the zipper, help me untangle it."

Edward followed her words, letting his gaze fall on her back. The morning sunlight shone brightly in, and Daisy’s skin, naturally fair, appeared to be glowing as she stood with her back to him.

His Adam’s apple moved slightly, feeling the heat he had just quelled suddenly rush back.

Damn.

He cursed softly in his heart, turned his gaze away, and reached out to untangle the few strands of hair caught in the zipper, then zipped it up for her. After finishing, he commented, "Clumsy."

Daisy wasn’t happy, pouting as she showed him her bruised wrist, "Edward Stephens, look at what you’ve done!"

She was finding a reason to confront him.

So delicate, bruised easily, useless.

Edward glanced at her, picked up the pillow from the floor and placed it on the sofa, then put his hands in his trouser pockets and turned to walk towards the door.

The servants cleaning the hallway were surprised to see the two of them coming out of the same room, then simultaneously showed a knowing expression, pretentiously turning their gaze away, as if saying, "We understand everything, you don’t need to say a word."

Edward: Irritated.

The breakfast was ready in the downstairs dining room, with the coffee and sandwiches Daisy liked. Lady Stephens might not be up yet, and the large dining room was clean and bright, with the servants having retreated, not disturbing them while they eat breakfast, leaving just the two of them.

As soon as Edward sat down, Daisy came over and took a seat beside him.

He ignored her, taking a sip of soy milk.

Lady Stephens had been obsessed with Chinese breakfast lately, so the meals had been Chinese-style: soy milk, fried dough sticks, pan-fried dumplings, soup dumplings. His protests were futile, but when Daisy came around, she was immediately given coffee.

It really made one wonder who her real child was.

Daisy quickly finished eating and rested her chin on her hand as she gazed at Edward for a while, extending her hand to him, "Edward Stephens, massage this for me."

Edward put down the soy milk cup, glanced at her.

Daisy hadn’t put on makeup, her hair hung loosely, her small face clean and seemingly youthful.

Carrying a bit of innocent naivety.

She could easily fool those unfamiliar with her.

Edward gracefully lifted his hand, giving a perfunctory rub on her wrist.

"Done." He motioned for her to retract her hand.

Daisy looked at him, her beautiful eyes large and bright, taking advantage of the situation, "Edward Stephens, rub it a bit more."

Edward turned his head to look at her a few times, feeling she was like some restless little animal, raising his hand to flick her forehead lightly, "Be good."

He just wanted to enjoy his breakfast.

Daisy rested her chin on her hand, blinking as she stared at Edward for a while, then suddenly leaned forward and kissed him on the lips.

Edward was drinking soy milk, and Daisy’s sudden move nearly made him spill the cup. He coughed lightly, carefully placing the cup down before grabbing Daisy by the nape to pull her away from in front of him, darkly calling her name, "Daisy Ginger!"

Daisy looked innocent, "I just kissed you, why are you embarrassed?"

"..." Did he look embarrassed?!
