Chapter 579: Edward's Secret (part one)

Immersing her body into the hot water, Daisy finally let her tight muscles relax. The comfortable feeling that followed it, made her unconsciously close her eyes. Her mind suddenly travelled back in time, to the deepest part of her memory. This was the time, when she was still a highly enviable princess in her family, who had a loving father and an indulgent mother. They all lived happily together, making everyone else gasp in admiration.

But all these things started to fade gradually with time, becoming a distant dream for her. Moreover, now that she knew how her mother died, she felt herself slipping deep into a dissociative state, like a soulless body. So she decided to take some time off, splurge a little and be a little woman pampered by her husband. She hoped that all of this would change her mood.

However, she was constantly irked by one thought. With her body completely drowned in water, she thought about Edward's past. She was very eager to know about the story in his heart. Daisy badly wanted to know what kind of person that girl was. What made Edward constantly think about her, so much so that he ended up naming the hotel in such a special manner.

The pressure of the water didn't let her hold on long. She popped her head out of the water, suddenly remembering that she was nursing her broken heart. She had forgotten to ring her family to let them know that she was safe. They must be worried about her because of the riot she caused before she left the house! Thinking about this, she was not in the mood to bath anymore. She quickly finished her shower and walked out of the bathroom. Seeing Edward standing by the window, completely lost in his thoughts, she suddenly stopped in her tracks and stared at him thoughtfully, tilting her head.

"You got out of the shower so quick." Edward turned around first, and smiled when he saw her standing there still. Then he walked towards her, still wearing the expression he wore when he was enjoying the night view just now.

"Oh! Have you phoned mother and father? How could I completely forget such an important thing?" Daisy, suddenly popped out of her trance, lifted the corner of her mouth and asked nonchalantly. But there was still a hint of unsureness in her heart. Because she knew that Edward was definitely thinking about his past. But she didn't dare to ask, and she couldn't ask, so she just had to bury her curiosity in the bottom of her heart.

Don't worry! I have already called them. Is this the reason why you got out of the shower in such a hurry? Your hair is still dripping." Edward frowned, grabbed the towel by his side, and started gently drying her hair. But in his mind, he still deeply blamed himself for his temporary emotional betrayal.

"I'm glad that you called. I was afraid that they might be worried about us." Daisy didn't resist, she just stood there silently, letting his hands run through her hair. She suddenly felt that she was being ridiculous. Why must she care who had been in his heart in the past? As long as she was the one he loved right now, it should be okay, right?

"So you know that they'd be worried! Then why didn't you think twice when you stormed out of the house like that?" Edward didn't say these words to blame her at all, because he clearly knew that whoever heard such a cruel thing would definitely lose control. Right now, he was just teasing her.

"I'm sorry! I admit that I wasn't thinking clearly. Edward, when did you find out that my mother was murdered?" Now that she couldn't think of his past, she focused her mind on something else, the thing that she wanted to know the most.

"I found out accidentally but not long ago. I was going to solve it quickly, but because I was injured, it got a little delayed." Edward was a little worried, he was not sure if she would blame him for hiding this from her. So he hesitated before answering her question.

"Why didn't you tell me before? You always act like this, why am I the last one to know everything?" As Edward had expected, she didn't let that slide. It looked like he knew her very well.

"I'm really sorry! I broke my promise again." Edward smiled helplessly. Like her words suggested, it seemed that he was lying to her again and again. Though he meant well, he still stepped on her sensitive nerve.

Never mind, I know you just want what's best for me. No need to worry, and don't look so forlorn. I'm not an unreasonable woman. Daisy raised her head and look at him. No matter how many days passed, she still didn't like it when he frowned deeply. Because deep in her memory, his smile was forever radiant and enchanting.

Do you want to listen to a story? All of a sudden, Edward badly wanted to tell her a secret that had been buried deep in the bottom of his heart. And in this way, it wouldn't count as an emotional betrayal, perhaps! He never saw his feelings for that girl as love. He liked her but only treated her as a sister-next-door.
