Chapter 355 Curvy Body (Part One)
Daisy woke up later than usual. She felt rather exhausted as Edward had been with her for the whole night. When she finally opened her eyes, the sun was high up in the air. She rolled over only to find Edward had left the bed.
She quickly refreshed herself in the bathroom and felt much better. She came down the stairs with caution as she still felt vague pain in her leg muscles. Apparently, someone really wore her out last night.
Today she carefully chose the outfit that suited her most. The elegant floor-length dress complemented her tall lean looks. As she walked down the stairs, her dress swiftly flipped around her ankles. She looked graceful and charming.
"Daisy! You're finally up! I've been waiting for you all morning." Daisy was still halfway on the staircases when Cynthia cried out to her in excitement. If not for the warning from her son this morning, Cynthia would have already dashed upstairs and woken Daisy herself.
"Mom, sorry for getting up late. What's the matter?" Daisy blushed as she felt a little bit guilty for being the last in the family to rouse herself. As the daughter-in law, she should have gotten up earlier.
"It's fine. I understand. I'm sure Edward tired you out last night." Cynthia's words were direct and her smile was as bright as the sun.
"Well! It's not like that..." Daisy's face turned even redder because of Cynthia's words. She felt so awkward that she didn't know where to rest her gaze. She wanted to dart out the door this very second. Her mother-in-law was so direct and deadpan about such an intimate matter.
"What do you mean it's not like that? This morning when he set out, he specifically told me not to disturb you so that you could rest thoroughly. I am quite amazed at his change. For years, I have seen him being uncaring to others. You are actually the first one that he has ever cared about so much. I
have never thought of that before." Cynthia sighed. Deep down, she wanted a more relaxed relationship with her son. She also hoped that one day, Edward would no longer fight with his father.
"Mom, how are you feeling? You look rather pale today. Is everything ok?" Daisy earnestly asked. She saw the sad look on Cynthia's face and was worried about her. She had no idea why all of a sudden, she looked upset.
"It's okay. Don't worry about me. Go get some breakfast first! Then we can go shopping together." Cynthia gazed lovingly at Daisy. She had always dreamed of going shopping with her own daughter. Whenever she saw those women who walked the streets hand in hand with their own daughters, she felt the urge to do the same thing. Although Daisy was just her daughter-in-law, she still considered Daisy her own daughter and loved her all the same.
"Shopping? Just you and me?" Daisy was surprised to hear her suggestion. Her eyebrows slightly furrowed as she was used to being left alone. She would like to hang out with Cynthia, however, she did not know for sure how to get along well with her open-minded and straightforward mother-in-law. NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.
"Yes! Justin's out fishing with his grandpa. He said he wanted to have some peace and quiet before getting back to school tomorrow." Justin was a smart kid. As soon as he heard that his grandma was about to go shopping with his mother, he dodged that bullet. He made it clear that he would rather go fishing with his grandpa. He knew that shopping with women would bore him to tears.
"Justin starts school tomorrow?" Daisy's eyebrows furrowed tighter. She blamed herself for neglecting her son's life. She was too focused on her own mood that she didn't even notice when Justin's school days would begin. Subconsciously, she relied way too much on Edward for everything. She felt that as long as he was by her side, she didn't need to pay as much attention to the details as before.
"Yes! We accompanied him to registration the other day. Tomorrow is the first day at school for him. The school environment and the teaching quality at this school are the best in the city. Don't you worry
about that." Cynthia still vividly remembered the day when they went to the school to enroll their grandson. The teacher there mistook her and Jonathan as Justin's parents. That crossed Jonathan greatly. His face was as cold as winter ice. For a moment, she thought that her husband was about to make a scene right there at the school.
"Sorry about me being spacey these days. I hope I didn't cause you much trouble." Daisy shyly rubbed her hands. She was not like this before. She used to treat anything concerning Justin as a priority, however, since she got back with Edward again, she was focused on her rekindled relationship. She was not paying as much attention to her son as before. Deep down, she knew it was not the correct thing to do!
"Hey, don't say that. Justin is our beloved grandson, we're family. You don't need to act so formal with us. We have to put up with Edward's coldness already, don't you even think of treating us like strangers." Cynthia's beautiful face turned gloomy. She was sad about the fact that her son was acting all indifferently to them. They had been home for a couple of days now, however, Edward hadn't interacted much with them. She knew he held a grudge against them. Whenever she thought about it, her heart ached.
"Mom, I know. I'll have a word with him when I get a chance." Daisy noticed the strange way Edward treated his parents. She was confused and had absolutely no idea how to help them deal with the tension. She knew little about their history, or why Edward was so bitter.
"Never mind. Let him be! Whatever floats his boat. Let's get going, shall we?" Cynthia knew it would take a while for Edward to let go of the past. As the saying went, "Rome wasn't built in a day." She understood that it would take some time to solve the issues between them and Edward.
