Chapter 208: Chapter 208: No matter what happens, don’t betray me
Daisy Ginger slowly swallowed the beef in her mouth and said softly, "I have no other man besides you. |
promise you."
Edward Stephens leaned back in his chair, for sreason, a mocking cold smile appeared on his face.
"It better be." He said blandly, "Otherwise, | have ways to make you regret it."
Daisy heard this and, for sreason, seemed a bit happy.
She slowly wiped her hand and then gestured for him.
Edward glanced at her impatiently, "What is it?"
"Chere a bit."
The man sat still.

Daisy hopped over on one leg and squeezed into the sofa chair with Edward.
She hugged his arm and said softly, "I don’t want any other man. You're my favorite."
Edward lowered his gaze to look at her, Daisy tilted her head back, then looked at him and brightly smiled.
Edward originally had a stern face, but in the end, he pulled her into his arms, letting her sit on his lap.
"Daisy."
"Hmm?" She looked up at him.
"No matter what happens, don’t betray me." His deep voice sounded in her ear.
"Otherwise, | won't let you off easy."
Daisy couldn't help but laugh.
"If one day | betray you, you can punishin any way." She held him, resting her face on his chest, listening to
his heartbeat, feeling her own heart subtly aching. The painkiller’s effect was fading, she loved him so much, but
her heart couldn't take it anymore.
Before the painkiller’s effect wore off, Daisy returned to her original spot and finished the dinner with Edward.

In the days that followed, Edward didn’t bring up "that man" again.
Daisy also breathed a slight sigh of relief.
To be honest, she wasn't very keen on letting Edward know.
Throughout the years, she had never even told Zoe Hilker and Ethan Pond.
At noon that day, Oliver Ruwas called out by Edward through a phone call.
Two months had passed since that thrilling kidnapping case, and things had gradually calmed down, lan Linton
fell into custody, and his trial had just begun.
Oliver entered the tea room and saw the distinguished and handsman sitting in the private suite, his
expression carried salertness and restraint.
"Sit." Edward poured him a cup of tea, his attitude casual, "You know who | am, so no need for introductions,
right?"
"Mr. Stephens is joking." Oliver sat down in a state of apprehension, took the tea handed by Edward, "What can |
do for you?"
"You spend more tby Daisy than | do." Edward took a sip of water, his tone was mild, making Oliver feel
under enormous pressure.
He couldn't help but wonder if Edward was actually jealous of him.
"lI want to ask you, has she been acting strange lately?"
Oliver paused, instinctively looking up at him.
The young and distinguished man had his gaze fixed on him at that moment, his gaze was bland but exerted
indescribable pressure.
Edward did not withdraw his aura, he continued, "At the company, what has she been doing these days, who has
she met, what's been unusual, | think, aside from you, nobody could know her better."
