Hold On Mr.! Your Sweetheart is a Real Queen

Chapter 68: Chapter 68: Engagement

The next morning, as a lingering effect of the fever, Daisy Ginger’s voice was completely hoarse.

Lady Stephens got up early, having just finished her morning exercise. Seeing Daisy coming downstairs, she smiled and greeted her, "Good morning, Daisy."

Daisy opened her mouth but couldn’t make a sound. Behind Lady Stephens, Edward Stephens, who had already finished breakfast, lazily glanced at her and let out a scornful snicker, expressing ridicule.

What a bastard.

Daisy puffed her cheeks, walked downstairs, and kicked Edward in an unladylike manner, chasing him into the living room.

"Lost your voice?" Lady Stephens came over, first checking her forehead with a hand, then gently said, "I’ll have the chef prepare some pear with rock sugar for you to take along today. Did you take the medicine yesterday?"

"I did." It turned out Edward brought her the medicine last night at Lady Stephens’ request. Daisy nodded and was led into the dining room by Lady Stephens.

Having breakfast with Lady Stephens, Daisy excitedly ran out to find Edward. The man was leaning on the sofa watching the news, and when he saw her come out, he glanced at her, didn’t say a word, and turned to go outside.

Her voice was hoarse, unable to call out, so she just ran over and tugged at the hem of his clothes.

Edward felt the pull on his clothing, paused, and turned his head slightly to look at her.

Maybe due to just recovering from illness, Daisy looked particularly pale today.

Yet her eyes were lively and bright.

She looked up at him, her dark eyes reflecting his face, with a vibrant sparkle.

"Edward, thank you for taking me to work," she rasped, standing on tiptoe to plant a kiss on his lips.

Edward lazily lifted his eyes to glance at Daisy Ginger, then responded indifferently, "Mm."

At the end of the workday, Edward came as promised to pick her up.

Daisy Ginger opened the passenger seat. Before getting in the car, she heard someone calling her from behind, "Director Ginger."

Daisy turned around and saw Ian Linton.

He was dressed in a suit, looking handsome and gentlemanly, without much aggressiveness, making one naturally feel good upon seeing him.

Daisy smiled back at him, greeting him, "Ian, why are you here?" noveldrama

"Came with my father to do some inspections around here." Ian walked over and, with a smile, greeted Edward sitting in the car, "Long time no see, Edward."

Edward nodded politely, which was considered a response.

"I’ve been wanting to find Director Ginger these days," Ian told Daisy, "Emily mentioned you haven’t been home lately. I figured you must be busy with work, so I didn’t want to disturb you. Since we met today, I thought I’d give you the invitation as well."

Invitation?

Daisy Ginger was slightly taken aback, confusion surfacing in her eyes, "What invitation?"

"Didn’t Emily tell you?" Ian seemed a bit surprised too, handing over two red invitations with gold embossing, "At the beginning of next month, Emily and I are having our engagement ceremony. Director Ginger, you absolutely must honor us with your presence."

Daisy was slightly stunned. She didn’t know why, but instinctively turned to look at Edward.

The man sat in the car, in the dim evening shadows, with no change in expression on his face, but Daisy still clearly felt Edward’s aura freeze for a moment.

Abigail Perry’s actions were so quick that it even surprised her somewhat.

Just like how she dealt with Edward back then, if she hadn’t intervened, perhaps Edward would already be pushed by Abigail into marrying Emily.

One marrying another, one about to be engaged, and thus, they would have no further connection.

Daisy stood in the sunset, a faint smile on her lips mixed with a touch of indifference.
