NovelOnlineChapter 149: Chapter 149: "Daisy Ginger, how can you degrade yourself like this!
On the day she ran into lan Linton again, it was an evening when she and Edward Stephens were having dinner
at a Western restaurant.
He seemed to have just accompanied a few clients outside, and when he saw her and Edward Stephens seated
across from her, his expression clearly froze for a moment.
Daisy Ginger had already finished the steak and was savoring the last dessert. Seeing him, she greeted him
brightly.
"lan, long tno see."
lan Linton looked at her, then at Edward Stephens, before nodding towards her.
Several tables away, Daisy Ginger didn’t clearly see lan Linton’s expression, but seeing him leave with the
clients after greeting her, she didn’t think much of it.
After dinner, Edward Stephens paid the bill, and Daisy Ginger said to him, "I'm going to the restroom."

The man responded, "Shall | accompany you?"
"No need." Daisy Ginger shook her head, "I'll be right back."
Edward Stephens leaned in front of the cashier, watching her leave.
In the past few days, perhaps as a form of making up, Edward Stephens had been dropping her off and picking
her up from work.
Daisy Ginger couldn't quite explain what this meant.
Does Edward Stephens have feelings for her? She’s not sure; but saying he doesn’t, he’s willing to coax her.
He’s more incomprehensible than eight years ago.
If it were back when they just got married, Edward Stephens willing to coax her would have certainly made her
happy, but people’s hearts are greedy. Once she got a bit of his attention, she wanted more, and if it was less
than before, she'd feel cheated.
Last time, she got a ring from him, and this time, she got a scar in his palm that will never fade.
Perhaps one day, she and Edward Stephens will eventually divorce, but on his body, he carries the marks she left
on him, just like those he once left on her heart.
This might be considered eternity too, right?

After using the restroom, Daisy Ginger washed her hands at the sink, glanced in the mirror, took out her lipstick
from her bag, and refreshed her makeup.
When she put the lipstick back into her bag and raised her head again, she saw someone reflected in the mirror
behind her.
Daisy Ginger was slightly startled, turned her head, and saw lan Linton, "lan, you haven't..."
lan Linton frowned, without saying a word, but he gripped her wrist and led her into the hallway.
Stumbling a few steps as he led her, Daisy Ginger finally reacted, "lan, what are you doing, where are you taking
me..."
lan Linton suddenly pinned her against the wall, the impact making Daisy Ginger let out a muffled groan. She
looked at him somewhat incredulously; in the dim shadow of the hallway’s lights, lan Linton’s elegant face
seemed inexplicably sinister and mad.
"You really reconciled?!"
lan Linton asked her sharply.
Daisy Ginger widened her eyes slightly, completely unsure how to react at the moment.
"After the way he treated you, you really reconciled with him?"
He looked extremely angry, gripping her shoulders tightly, pressing her against the wall, speaking through
clenched teeth, word by word.
"Daisy Ginger, how can you degrade yourself like this!"
Looking closely, Daisy Ginger only then realized that lan Linton’s appearance seemed a bit off.
His beard seemed like it hadn't been shaved for several days, with a layer of stubble on his chin; his eyes had
red veins, and even his face looked somewhat swollen, unsure if he hadn't slept well or drank too much...
Those bloodshot eyes intensely staring at her, the look was not of a normal person, but like that of a madman
gazing at sdeeply ingrained enemy.
