My Wife is an Aloof Beauty

Chapter 396 Not There (Part One)

Edward was busy reading reports and signing papers the whole morning. He didn't have the time to leave his office. He couldn't even go out and have lunch with Daisy in some fancy restaurant. Daisy had to eat alone and order delicious and healthy takeout for Edward. Edward ate in his office after Daisy came back, and soon went back to work after his quick lunch.

After signing his name on the last document on his desk, Edward took a deep sigh and tiredly leaned against his chair with closed eyes. He rubbed between his eyebrows and took a short catnap. When he reopened his eyes, Edward found Daisy sleeping soundly on the couch. There was a faint smile on her face, her eyelashes quivering slightly as she breathed. Edward's lips curled into a tender smile at the sight.

'What a sleepy head! She's been sleeping for hours, and she hasn't woken up yet. Did I wear her out in bed last night?' Edward wondered as he gazed at Daisy's sleeping face.

Edward wasn't a man who liked indulgence. To him, sex was merely a way to satisfy physical needs. But after meeting Daisy, everything changed. For some reason, he lost control of himself whenever Daisy was around.

Edward looked at his watch to check the time. Then he rose from his chair and walked up to Daisy. He sat on the edge of the couch, lovingly caressing her face with his long fingers. He shook his head with a small smile. Was she really a colonel? Her vigilance was so poor.

"Honey, wake up. It's time to go home now." Edward gently pinched the tip of her delicate nose, leaning forward to whisper in her ear. Disturbed by his actions, Daisy slapped his hand away and grumbled incoherently. She turned away, still sound asleep.

Edward paused, his smile growing. If he couldn't wake her up like this, he didn't mind trying a different method.

With a smirk, he leaned closer and pressed his lips to hers. The sleeping woman suddenly opened her eyes and subconsciously flung her fist towards Edward's stomach. Although Edward sensed Daisy's sudden movement, it happened to

"Woman, are you flirting with me?" Edward ran his finger over where Daisy had just kissed him, fixing his jet black eyes on her. He narrowed his eyes at her dangerously as he looked her up and down.

"You're welcome. I was just returning the favor." Daisy moved her hands to his stomach, rubbing it gently. She hit him hard earlier, and it must hurt a lot. Eager to alleviate his pain, Daisy slipped her hands into Edward's shirt without much thought to give him a massage. Edward gasped loudly. Was Daisy trying to turn him on?

"Honey, do you have any idea what you're doing right now?" Edward leaned forward to whisper hoarsely in her ear, his warm breath tickling the back of her ear.

"Hold still. I'll give you a massage. Does it still hurt?" Focused on her task, she didn't notice the change in Edward's tone. She kept gently massaging his abdomen.

"Yes, but not there." Edward replied lazily, curling his lips into a devilish smile. Although he was about to explode at any second, he didn't stop Daisy's cold fingers from moving on his stomach.

"Really? Still hurt? Where? Is it bad?" Daisy got nervous all of a sudden. She was afraid that she hit him too hard and hurt his organs.

"Lower, all the way down there." Edward suppressed the urge to burst into laughter. He played it cool and put on a poker face, to avoid suspicion from Daisy.
