Journey to Happy Ending

Chapter 57 Someone You Cannot Mess With

City of Night Romance was the most luxurious and erotic club in town. It was even patronized by some

of the famous dignitaries and billionaires. Handsome boys and beauties found themselves presented

with many opportunities to stray. Not to mention the waitresses, who would provide any services one

wanted.

Pounding music, dancing crowd, and loud yells seemed to attract most people here. But the noble and

handsome guest standing in the corner, did not seem to enjoy any of these.

Duke frowned upon the woman who approached him and gently pushed her away. He loathed noisy

places like this and disliked the women here for the thirsty look on their faces.

Edward swirled the glass around a little, leisurely crossing his legs. He glanced at the women dancing

on stage in revealing dresses with an evil smile on his face. A lot of women were giving him "the looks" Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

and trying to catch his attention.

Rain was observing him closely. He speechlessly rolled his eyes, wondering what was exciting him so

much and causing this abnormal behavior since early morning.

"Why didn't Justin come with you today?" inquired Duke. He was surprised that Edward had come to

the club late in the night. After all, Justin was clingy and always wanted to keep an eye on him.

"Well! I don't need to tell Justin where I go every time, okay?" Edward casually smiled and sipped the

wine. He was immensely enjoying the soft touches from the girls sitting beside him. He had promised

Daisy that he would stay away from women. But he had conveniently forgotten the promise in the wake

of the gratifying attention he was receiving.

"Edward, don't pretend to be cool! I heard that you couldn't even pitch a tent earlier because of her

existence." The bright smile on Rain's face made the girl sitting on the other side move closer to him.

Edward did not get angry and just squinted at him. As time passed by, Edward suddenly became

impatient and lost all interest in the women around him. He stopped the hands that kept reaching down

and at the same time adjusted his sitting posture to maintain some distance from the girl.

"I can't pitch a tent? You can only comment on this after you have tried. Do you want to be at the

bottom of the tent?" Edward retorted without realizing the effect his words would have.

"You are creepier than ever," Rain gave an expression of disgust to make his disdain known.

Duke could not stand their low taste. The smell of the perfume was also overpowering. He waved his

hands to let the girls know that they could leave.

"Edward..." implored one of the girls. She held his hands tightly to encourage him to ask her to stay

longer.

"It's time for you to leave!" said Edward gently withdrawing his hands.

"Abstinence is not your style! I understand why Duke would want to stay away. But Edward? What

happened to you?" Rain could not handle Edward's sudden transition from a playboy to a good boy.

"No reason. I just want to leave, for a change." Edward drained the glass before heading towards the

restroom.

Rain did not believe his explanation even for a moment. "Leave for a change? Only idiots would believe

him," said Rain nodding his head in amazement. Edward was getting more and more unpredictable

recently.

"Do you think something has happened to him?" Rain asked Duke as leaned on the sofa and laced his

hands behind his head, showing his bohemian personality.

"How can I know? You are the one working with him. You should know better." Duke was always cold

as ice. His indifferent attitude towards the outside world helped him hold the women, who wanted to get

close to him, at an arm's length.

"I work with him. I don't live with him. The most difficult thing in the world is to pry into someone else's

heart. How can I know what he is thinking?" Rain stared at Duke. I am not a mind-reader, so how could

I possibly know what was going on in somebody else's head, he thought to himself.

When Edward walked out of the bathroom, he bumped into a couple, who then stumbled. He frowned

at them as he could tell that they were drunk. At first, Edward did not pay much attention to them. But

after proceeding two steps, he suddenly stopped and turned back, taking the drunk woman into his

arms.

Kevin took a moment to realize that the woman he was with, was being held by Edward. Once he

realized what had happened, he quickly swung a punch at Edward, assuming he was one of the

escaped criminals from the last mission. Luke, Edward's bodyguard, immediately stepped forward to

block the punch, which started a fistfight.

Edward did not care about the fight. He knew that Luke could handle it well. He was just concerned

about the woman in his arms. He stared at her and wanted to ask her if this was the urgent mission she

had talked about. What kind of mission requires one to dress in sexy clothes and get drunk with a man

in a club? Edward was angry now because he had not even received a call.

Kevin did not know who Edward and Luke were. Therefore, he needed to make sure that Daisy was

safe. As he was distracted by this thought, Luke managed to land several punches on him.

"Who are you?" asked Kevin. He was a little anxious and tried to end the fight. He knew that Daisy had

been drugged and something bad would happen if he did not take her to the hospital immediately.

"I am someone you cannot mess with," replied Edward sternly. Although Luke did not know why

Edward had grabbed the woman from Kevin, it was his job to protect his master.

"Do you know who I am?" Kevin asked again. He was getting impatient and irritable. Normally he would

be more calm, but this was about Daisy.

"Edward! What happened?" Duke and Rain had come to check the reason for the chaos created by

Luke and Kevin's fight. But, now they could not stop staring at the woman in Edward's arms.

"No way! Edward, did you just grab somebody else's girlfriend!" Rain asked in surprise while watching

the fight.

Edward did not have the time to answer their questions. He just tightly held the drunk woman in his

arms and ruthlessly stared at Kevin.

Daisy, drugged, felt that the room was sweltering hot and her body was on fire so she kept rubbing

Edward to feel the coolness of his skin. She knew the wine had been drugged but she had still drained

the glass along with several shots in order to eliminate their suspicion. As Daisy got drunk easily, her

mind went completely blank at first. However, all this chaos sobered her a little.

"Edward, why are you here?" Daisy asked him with a sweet smile and tried to pinch his face to prove

that this was not a dream.

"I will settle this with you later." Edward warned her as he caught her hands and put them firmly by her

side to stop them from torturing his face. Although she wore thick make-up and revealing clothes, he

had recognized her at once and thus grabbed her.
