Journey to Happy Ending

Chapter 1769 Daisy Changed Her Mind (Part Two)

"Well, anytime now," she said in a calm voice. She gave him a couple days to think things over and she

believed he had made a decision already.

"I will respect your choice. No matter what decision you've made, I'll accept it. I won't force you to do

anything you don't want to do," Edward said seriously, with an intense look in his eyes. He turned to her

and just looked at her. The fireplace's cackling and spitting were the only sounds during that moment.

He didn't have any right to force her to keep the baby. Hell, if she wanted to have an abortion, he

couldn't lift a finger.

Daisy shifted uncomfortably under her husband's intense gaze. "If I... choose to give up on the baby,

will you think I'm a cruel woman?" Daisy knew how badly he wanted to have a daughter, but she just

wasn't ready yet. It was an extremely hard decision for her to make.

"Yes. I will. It's the ultimate culmination of our love," Edward admitted without hesitation albeit with a

pained expression. Sure, they already had Justin. Although Edward loved him very much, he was still

an accident. They weren't in love back then. Edward hadn't even known of Justin's existence until the

day Daisy brought him to Edward. This baby was different, and he really wanted to keep it.

"But we already have Justin," Daisy said as she stared at him, careful not to miss a single change of

expression on his face.

"But this baby is different and you know it." It didn't mean that he didn't love Justin. On the contrary, he

owed a lot of time to Justin. He hadn't been at his side for at least a couple of years.

"Okay, I guess I know your answer now. I have to think about it more," Daisy said as she planted both

of her feet on the carpet and walked towards the balcony, leaving her husband on the couch, staring at

the fireplace.

Edward, at the time, was very worried about her and wondered if she agreed with his logic. Since it

came from her mouth that she wanted to think it over more, he was sure she would consider every

factor present. He really hoped she would eventually keep the baby.

Countless battles raged in Daisy's head as she looked out into the night. The air was chilly outside on

the balcony. She thought that if she decided to keep her child, her career would be finished.

She really had no idea how to turn Edward down when he looked at her imploringly just moments ago.

She loved him so much that she would do everything for him. After a short while on the balcony, she

went back inside the warm, cozy room and sat beside him again.

"I promise I'll keep the baby. But! I won't give up my work during the pregnancy." Back then, when she

was pregnant with Justin, she had still kept on working. So she saw no problem doing the same with

this pregnancy.

"Really? Oh, honey. I knew you wouldn't let me down." Edward jumped to his feet and held his wife in

his arms. He was so excited that he ignored everything else after hearing the first sentence.

"But you've let me down," Daisy murmured in a soft voice and lowered her gaze.

"I'm sorry. Was I too selfish?" he asked as he kissed her cheeks over and over again. He knew she

didn't want to keep the baby, but she compromised just for him.

"Yes, you were. I know you want a daughter, but I'm putting my foot down. It won't matter if it's a boy or

a girl, I will not have a third one." She punched his chest softly and teasingly. She thought to herself, 'It

will be difficult for Justin to manage the FX International Group all by himself. I guess it wouldn't hurt to

give him a brother or a sister.'

"I totally agree with you." As long as she promised to keep the baby, he swore to himself at that exact

moment that he would do anything she asked him to do.

"You were so mean to me awhile ago beside the road!" Daisy blurted out, her lips pouted like a child's.

She felt hurt at the thought of how he treated her awhile ago. At this moment, she wasn't a strong

military officer, but a vulnerable woman who needed to be consoled. Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

"I'm so sorry, honey. It was all my fault. I shouldn't have said those hurtful words to you." Edward picked

her up and laid her on the bed softly, the silk covers crumpling as their weight pressed on them. His lips

slowly met hers.

"Stop!" She pushed him away and shook her head in disapproval.

"But.. but I missed you so much!" Edward stuttered like a hurt child. Determined not to give up, he

started to plant kisses on her entire body. He knew where she liked it.

"I missed you too, but still, no!" Having intercourse in the first trimester might cause serious

complications. Since it was Edward who insisted on having the baby, Daisy thought he should realize

the sacrifices they would have to make. Otherwise, he would just take it for granted.

"Why?" Edward asked in a hurt tone. He was frowning like a little boy who didn't get what he wanted.

"Because it's not good for a baby." At that moment, a lightbulb appeared in Daisy's mind. She could

turn this thing around. If ever he made her angry, she could just turn him down with the excuse of

harming the baby whenever he wanted to have sex. A fitting punishment, Daisy thought.

"Damn it!" Edward rolled to the other half of the bed and stared blankly at the ornate ceiling. The

thought of harming the baby through sex hadn't crossed his mind. 'It seems as though I'll be living a

bachelor's life in the coming months, ' he thought.

Daisy felt elated. She chuckled to herself after her brilliant plan. But her happiness was short-lived. She

knew what was coming in the next nine months. She had to juggle her pregnancy and her work, hardly

an easy task.

When Kevin opened the door to their house, it was already in the wee hours of the morning.

Apparently, Leena didn't know when the military exercise would end, so she just went to bed early with

their son, Richard.
