Chapter 342: Chapter 341 What is this?
About ten minutes later, Edward Stephens walked back alone from a distance.
He looked more relaxed than when he went in, cover, and took her hand, "Let’s go. I'll take you out to eat."
Daisy Ginger looked at his expression and finally snorted, "Didn't | say it was fine?"
Edward didn’t respond directly, only said, "The police calledjust now. Your phone has been found and handed
over to someone from your company. You can pick it up at your office tomorrow."
The efficiency is quite impressive.
On the other hand, it also shows how powerful the Stephens family is in this place.
Daisy responded and was distracted by the change in topic, "Was anything deleted from the phone?"
"No," Edward replied flatly.
That black guy, though, is going to be in for a long haul.

After having dinner at a nearby restaurant together, Daisy chthoroughly exhausted.
She hadn't felt tired so easily before, but recently, for sreason, even a few steps left her winded.
Struggling, she forced herself to take a shower, not even drying her hair completely before collapsing into bed
and falling into a deep sleep.
Edward, after finishing the last bit of work in the study, entered the room to find Daisy deeply asleep, curled up
on her back without even a blanket covering her.
Her hair was still damp. The man furrowed his brow slightly, walked over, and pulled her up into his arms, "Daisy,
dry your hair before sleeping."
Daisy was notoriously cranky upon waking, especially with her current foul mood. Being disturbed made her
incredibly annoyed, and she tried to push him away with her eyes closed.
Edward sighed in resignation, softly coaxing her, "How about | dry it for you?"
She didn’t respond, only furrowed her delicate brows, burying her face in his chest, and promptly fell back
asleep.
The man looked down at her flushed, peaceful face and couldn't resist pinching her nose.

Sleeping like a little piggy.
He moved her to the sofa, allowing her to curl up in his embrace while he used the blow dryer to dry her half-
damp hair.
The air was filled with the sweet scent of roses.
He caught the faint fragrance from Daisy and couldn’t help but smile.
This life wasn’t what he had envisioned. Yet, if she was by his side, it didn’t seem so bad.
Returning to Chicago seemed easier than he had imagined, not as annoying and intolerable.

Recently, aside from sphysical discomfort, Daisy's life had been relatively stable.
Edward's temperament had improved unexpectedly; no matter how she lashed out, he hardly reacted, and after
her inexplicable anger subsided, he would even hand her a glass of water to soothe her throat.
The epitof a masochist.
If she hadn't known his temper from before, Daisy might have suspected he had been swapped with someone
else, transforming from a big bad wolf to a big sheep.
The only thing that made Daisy unhappy was how controlling he had becrecently.
She thought she’d gained weight and didn’t like lounging at home, wanting to enroll in a gym to work out, but for
sreason, he flatly refused. She finally signed up behind his back, only for the gym to refund her that
afternoon;
She enjoyed shopping after work to walk off her meals, but now Edward would take her hright after eating,
sometimes even having meals at home, not allowing her to wander outside.
Daisy, accustomed to being free, couldn't stand Edward's increasingly strange control, finding more reason to
quibble with him. Yet, under her torment, his temper seemed to improve, never displaying his spoiled rage in
front of her.
While she was frustrated with his control, she was also secretly worried about how spoiled she had becby
him, her emotions oscillating between self-reproach and berating Edward. Until one day, while drinking sweet
milk, she suddenly vomited, and only then did she belatedly realize something.
It was a bright spring morning, and Edward had poured the milk for her himself. The milk, usually sweet and
delicious, suddenly tasted fishy for sreason.
After she vomited, both Edward and Charlotte looked a bit surprised; one led her to the washroom, the other
cleaned up the mess on the floor in the dining room.
The nauseous feeling disappeared completely after rinsing her mouth.
But a nagging suspicion lodged in Daisy's heart, not deep or shallow, unsettling her.
She carried on with breakfast as usual; this bout of vomiting didn’t seem to evoke much reaction from Edward,
who simply reassured her that she might have gotten a chill from the air conditioning yesterday.
Daisy too comforted herself that way, but couldn't help calculating when her last period had come.
As Edward drove her to work, Daisy’s mood was low, not picking any fights, sitting in the passenger seat with a
thoughtful look.
The man gave her a scrutinizing glance, trying to discern what was on her mind but could not figure it out.

Daisy got out of the car and headed towards the elevators, but halfway there, she suddenly turned back.
At this moment, Edward's car had just driven off, and Daisy hailed a cab at the intersection, stating the nof
the estate, and got in.
When Daisy returned to the little villa Edward lived in, the household staff seemed surprised to see her.
Ignoring them, Daisy went straight upstairs, her face looking displeased. The staff secretly called Edward.
On the other end, the man paused slightly upon receiving the call, responding calmly, "Understood."
In the office, the man’s expression turned slightly cold as he rose from his chair and walked out.
