After dinner, Edward Stephens went out to pay the bill. Fresh chapters posted on 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⚫𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖⚫𝕟𝕖𝕥
Ian Linton seemed a bit embarrassed, but since Edward insisted on paying, he naturally didn’t argue, only saying that next time he would treat.
Emily Ginger and Abigail Perry went out, Daisy Ginger stood at the door of the private room, waiting for Edward to return.
Ian Linton’s voice came from the front, Daisy looked up and smiled at Ian who was walking towards her, "Why are you back?"
"Emily left her phone in the private room, I came back to get it." He entered the room and found a phone with a pink case at Emily’s seat, and as he passed by Daisy on his way out, he suddenly stopped and asked gently, "Why didn’t you wear it? You don’t like it?"
Daisy was looking down at her WeChat, and didn’t react immediately to Ian’s words, she lifted her head to look at him.
The man stood about a step away from her, the restaurant was brightly lit, his handsome and elegant face seemed so close, his amber eyes held a hint of inquiry, his gaze was fixed on her face.
This thought was quickly drowned by the feeling of embarrassment that came after she realized.
"Ahem." She coughed lightly, "No... I really like it, that’s why I kept it safe."
Ian looked at her quietly, his eyes deepened a little, and he said softly, "If you like it, you should wear it more. It’s not something worth collecting, keeping it stored away is such a waste."
Daisy felt quite ashamed by his words.
The gift was received less than a day ago, and Edward quickly managed to lose one piece, Ian’s good intentions were all let down by that scoundrel Edward.
But with Ian here right now, she couldn’t very well tell him that the gift he gave her now only has one piece left.
She needed to think of a way, to buy another one from the store.
Daisy felt conflicted, Ian’s gaze fell beside her ear, and suddenly he stepped forward, lowering his voice, "Director Ginger now likes this kind of..."
Before he finished his sentence, Edward’s voice came from behind, "Daisy."
On instinct, Daisy turned her head to see Edward standing not far away, her delicate face brightened into a smile, she didn’t hear what Ian was saying and rushed towards Edward.
"Edward, you’re back." She took his arm and looked up at him.
Edward glanced at her, responded lightly, and then looked up at Ian not far away.
Ian’s expression was as usual, under the light he was gentle and graceful, smiling as he spoke to Edward and Daisy, "Director Ginger, Young Master Edward, I will take Emily home first."
Daisy nodded, feeling a bit guilty in response to Ian’s smile, "Ian, be careful on the road."
Ian nodded slightly and left with Emily’s phone.
Watching Ian leave, Edward lowered his head to look at her, "How come I didn’t know you two have so much to talk about?"
He shouldn’t have brought it up, as soon as he did, Daisy was incensed.
She glared at him with blazing eyes, poking his chest with her finger, "You have some nerve. You better return the earring Ian gave me!"
With the corner of his eye, Edward glanced at her, speaking evenly, "That earring was from Ian?"
Daisy: "And you lost one of them!"
Edward replied calmly, "Mine was prettier."
How narcissistic, even now.
Daisy rolled her eyes at him, "Ian’s was definitely prettier."
"Mine was prettier." He replied indifferently.
Daisy walked ahead in a huff.
Edward followed lazily behind her, "By the way, don’t get too close to Ian."
Daisy stopped and gave him a look, "You don’t get too close to Emily."
Alright, conversation’s over.
