Journey to Happy Ending

Chapter 1625 An Old Married Couple (Part One)

"Come on, Kevin. I can take care of myself. Aren't you busy now?" Leena asked. She had been sitting

there drawing before Kevin called. She stood up and stretched her legs.

"Yeah, I am. But I'm worried about you." While speaking with Leena on the phone, Kevin let his eyes

settle upon the latest weapon designs on the table in front of him.

"Don't worry. That's what servants are here for. We have three of them." Leena believed that Kevin was

overreacting. There were three servants in their house, and she believed there was nothing for Kevin to

worry about.

"I'd still be worried if we had 30. Have you had any milk?" After learning that drinking milk during

pregnancy was good for both mom and child, he made sure Leena had a glass of milk every day. She

was beginning to get sick of it.

"Come on! I already had a glass. Stop nagging." Leena shook her head in resignation. She lowered her

head but wasn't able to see her toes, as her belly was swollen like a basketball.

"Okay, okay. I gotta hang up now. I'm very busy and won't be home til late. Don't wait for me to have

dinner." Kevin couldn't help but frown when he thought about his assignment — check on the Falcon's

training schedule. The training program seemed to get nowhere.

"Got it! Take care of yourself. Bye!" After hanging up, Leena stared back at her designs on the desk. It

seemed that the launch event of autumn clothing needed to be postponed. She couldn't finish the

designs on time. As for the winter clothing, she really had no time and decided to cancel it.

"Hey, why are you here?" Edward asked with a frown, looking at Leo.

"Here's the thing. My birthday's in a couple of days. I was wondering if you and Daisy could have

dinner with us on that day?" Leo answered politely. He couldn't help but show respect for Edward.

"That's not up to me. I'll have to ask Daisy first," Edward said with a shrug. Although Daisy didn't object

to Edward and Justin contacting Leo, her attitude towards him hadn't changed. There was no love lost

there.

"I know. Please tell her Brian will be back then. She'd like to see him, I think." Leo knew Daisy cared for

her brother, Brian, and she would come as long as Brian would be there as well.

"I will, but no promises." Edward, however, didn't think Daisy would say yes.

"That'll be great. Thank you, Edward." Leo had done something really terrible to Daisy and her mother.

That was why he was unable to face Daisy now. He even humbled himself in front of his son-in-law.

"Since you're here, why don't you have lunch with me?" Edward suggested. Even though Daisy didn't

regard Leo as her father, Edward decided to treat him better. After all, blood is thicker than water.

"No need for that. I'm headed to the hospital now. Thank you though," Leo said with a smile. He hadn't

felt well at all in recent days, so he decided to visit the doctor to figure out what might be wrong.

"What's wrong? Are you sick?" Edward asked with a frown.

"It's a chest problem, I think. I wheeze and cough all the time. No big deal." Leo didn't take it seriously.

He was too old to run his company now anyway.

"Got an idea. My family doctor, Tom. I'll call him now. He's at Renxin Hospital." Edward took a closer

look at Leo, taking in his stooped posture, and the lines and crags on his face. The old man did look

much older than before. He felt bad for the way he'd treated Daisy. This depressed him, and his guilty

heart weighed heavily on him.

"Don't bother him on my account. I heard he's very busy." Leo was thrilled. Many of his friends had

wanted to make an appointment with Tom, but failed. He knew it was extremely hard to make an

appointment with Tom. But now Edward was offering him a chance at the top notch doctor in the city.

"It's okay. He's my friend." Edward dialed Tom's number and told him Leo's situation. Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Leo was moved by Edward's kind offer. If he hadn't driven Daisy and her mother out of the family, they

would still be together, and happy. He regretted what he had done deeply.

"Alright. I got a hold of Tom. He'll be in his office waiting for you," Edward told him. He didn't think he

had done a lot for Leo, so when he noticed Leo's grateful expression, he was a little embarrassed. He

did this only because Leo was Daisy's father and he didn't want Daisy to feel bad if something really

was wrong.

"Thank you so much!" Leo was moved to tears. He believed Edward cared about him so much.

"Ah, don't be so formal with me. You know I did it for my wife." Edward trotted out a friendly smile.

"I know, I know. I shouldn't have treated her like that." Leo was burdened by guilt and regret. But he

could do nothing to make up for his past mistakes. He could only try to make the future better.

He only realized the true worth of his family's love after he had lost it. But it was already too late.

After work, Edward went directly to the army base. He pulled over and waited for his wife. It was not his

first time here. But every time he came here, he felt exhilarated. Just like the first time he saw Daisy in

military uniform, he had mixed emotions.

Leo's visit made Edward think a lot. Sometimes it was too late to make amends. But wouldn't it be

better to just let it go and move on?

Edward felt stuffy in the car, so he opened the door and stepped out. He was a tall and handsome man,

and the evening sun warmed him with its radiant glow.

He looked at the entrance and frowned, wondering, 'Why hasn't she gotten off work yet?'

"Senior Colonel Ouyang, it's Mr. Mu's car!" Mark informed Daisy. She was resting in the back seat.

"Why's he here now?" Daisy grumbled. She stared out the window and fixed her eyes on Edward. She

had long known her husband was handsome and many women were interested in him, but she had

never cared about that before.

Now she suddenly felt she was so lucky to have such an outstanding husband. He leaned against the

car and looked at Daisy's direction. Even the sunlight was obscured by his gleam.

"Didn't he call you to let you know?" Mark asked and stopped the car. It was not the first time that

Edward came to pick Daisy up.

"Uh... You're dismissed. I'll ride in his car." Daisy straightened her clothes before getting out.

Edward stayed still and stared quietly at his wife. His eyes were full of affection.

Daisy walked up to him, her face burning, red with shyness. His eyes were so blazing hot that she

couldn't bear it.

"You haven't waited long, I hope?" she asked as she reached out to hold his waist. Her heart softened.

"Um, about two hours," Edward checked his watch and answered indifferently. He stroked her back and

urged, "Let's go." His voice was gentle, and his eyes were soft. He was a man of grace and elegance.

Edward opened the passenger seat door and closed it after he made sure she was all in. Even though

she was a military officer, he believed that she still needed his care.

"You seem to have something on your mind," Daisy said, as she put her bag in the back seat and

smoothed her hair.

"Leo came to see me today." Edward stole a glance at Daisy, interested in how she would respond.

"Oh, okay," she said indifferently.

"You don't want to know why he dropped by?" Edward was surprised to see her lack of interest. He

hadn't seen that coming.

"No, your business is... well, your business." Daisy turned her head and looked out the window.
