My Wife is an Aloof Beauty

"Come on! Edward, are you kidding? You are just avenging me for what I said to Daisy. If I eat all the dishes right now, my stomach will surely burst and I won\'t be able to walk home! You can\'t be that cruel." Tom looked at Edward, his eyes full of horror. He was definitely right! Edward was saying this only to avenge him for the stern words he said to Daisy earlier, when they were all upstairs.

"Well, who says that you have to walk home? Just drive your car. I don\'t have spare space for you to park your car here anyway." A smirk appeared on Edward\'s handsome face. He sat down in front of Tom, seeming quite relaxed. It looked like he was going to watch Tom finish all the dishes that Mrs. Wu cooked for him.

"Huh! You are being so obnoxious right now. Are you really worried that I\'ll stay over for the night? Let me tell you the truth: I\'m not someone whom you can easily persuade to stay over." Tom raised one of his eyebrows, looking defiant. He had to rush back to the hospital when he finished eating, anyway. He was still worried about his patient from earlier, whom he had operated upon. He had to get back and check on the invalid himself.

"What? Why would I even do that? Please, I don\'t want you to stay, okay? By the way, I have something to ask you. Has Rain called you up recently? The guy has been in Thailand for several days, but there hasn\'t been any news about what he is up to. That\'s a bit strange, isn\'t it?" In fact, this was why Edward had come downstairs for. He wanted to ask Tom if he knew anything about Rain, who had gone abroad.

"No, h

heart, she knew she couldn\'t be so selfish. If her job had started to affect her family, then she must consider quitting, even though she loved her work very much. Nothing was more important to her in life than family. If she had to choose between her career and her loved ones, she would certainly hold on to the latter at the end of the day.

"Daisy, why are you standing here? Don\'t you think about your injury at all?" Although Edward was regretful and had realized that he had been too harsh on her, when he saw Daisy standing on the balcony, his face turned cold and impassive again. He didn\'t want Daisy to know that he had already forgiven her.

"I\'m thinking... I don\'t know if I should quit my job or not." Daisy didn\'t turn back to face Edward as her indifferent words rang in the air. The thought had been loitering inside her head for a while now. She didn\'t actually want to quit this job, but it wouldn\'t be so hard for her to do it.

"What are you talking about? Stop saying this nonsense! I know you love the military uniform very much. You love what you do. Besides, you just got a promotion. You have become a Senior Colonel. That is something you have fought for for so many years. Do you really want to give it all up now?" Edward had no idea why Daisy would say something like this. He was shocked at her words. After all, if there was one thing she loved besides her family and friends, it was her work.
