Chapter 181 Today Is My Birthday

"What? She got hurt? Why don't I remember anything about this? Is it serious?" Annie asked in a state

of panic. She wondered what she had done yesterday. And how things got so serious.

"Don't worry, it's a minor wound. It will recover soon. Don't feel so guilty about it." Rain didn't expect this

reaction from her. He tried to comfort her. But he didn't intend to hide the facts.

"Really? I don't remember what happened yesterday. How come Daisy was bringing me back?" Annie

thought carefully but failed to remember anything. Was it a coincidence that they met in the recreational

place? But that was highly unlikely. Annie thought.

"I heard that the bartender had called Daisy. You had her card with you." said Rain. He reached out his

hands and held her cold hands with some hesitation. Annie turned stiff by his action. His big hands

were quite warm. The warmth was like an electric current that shocked her into numbness. Her heart

was beating faster. She glanced furtively at his handsome face. She knew she would be mesmerized

by his charming face under any circumstances.

"Oh! Is Edward angry with me?" asked Annie Thinking of this attractive and handsome man, Annie

seemed a little wavering with her question.

"No, he's not that mean." Rain pursed his lips and said. Edward was not angry with Annie, but that

didn't mean he was not angry with Daisy. He seemed furious last night. It appeared that he would blow

his top any second.

Annie followed Rain downstairs, holding hands. Her long hair and dress swirled, bellowing with the

speed of her steps as if she were dancing like an angel who had just fallen from the heaven.

Rain wanted to ask her why she didn't contact him. But when he thought of Aaron's words, he gave up

the idea. Perhaps her love towards him had faded. He could feel it from her estranged behavior. If it

was like before, she would be leaning on his shoulder fondly. However, now he could perceive that she

was a little resistant about his touch.

Rain smiled helplessly. Time had changed everything. Her love for Rain had faded with time. No one

belongs to another indefinitely. When the time is up, the curtain falls.

Annie gorged herself with food, without pausing to savor the flavor. It pained her heart that Rain was

being so cold to her. Maybe she was only a sister in his eyes. 'He's not excited about my return.' She

thought.

During breakfast, they sat at the same table, but they were thinking about different things. They

carefully examined each others' expressions. The atmosphere was very strange. They didn't say

anything to each other. The stress was suffocating.

Mary came to the office in the early morning. She decided to take some action for improving her

relationship with Edward. She was eager to become Edward's wife. Justin's presence had already

made her sad. Now the sudden news about Jessica's child was making her miserable. It seemed that

her prospects of becoming Edward's wife were getting slimmer by the day.

"Brother Edward, you have come a little later than usual today." She waited for a long time and when

she finally saw Edward come in, she quickly embraced him and greeted. She smiled at Edward

sweetly. It showed that she had spent a lot of time on makeup. She looked absolutely gorgeous.

"Yes. I was delayed by some business. How are you doing, Miss Mary? Is everything fine for you

here?" Edward asked with a smile. She was Daisy's elder sister. She was calling him brother now, it

sounded awkward. Edward thought.

"Everything is fine. Anna taught me everything thoroughly. Everyone is being nice to me. Edward, are

you free tonight?" Mary asked while looking at him, her eyes were full of expectation. She was afraid

that he would decline her offer.

"I don't have anything planned yet. What's up?" Edward said while walking into his office. He shot a

look at Anna, indicating her to bring his schedule planner.

"Well... Today is my birthday. My mother is going to host a small party for me tonight. I am hoping you

would come." Mary said while following him. She was determined to bring him to her house today,

come what may.

"Oh! Happy birthday! Okay! I will come if I'm free." Edward said with a frown. 'Is she asking me to go to

Daisy's parents' house? I just realized I have never visited my parents-in-law. It's strange that Daisy Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

has never suggested visiting her parents. Isn't it more appropriate for Daisy to invite me on such an

occasion? Also, Luke hasn't given any news about the investigation yet.' Edward thought.

"Okay. Edward, you must come. My father had also invited you to dinner, right? Why don't we take this

chance to get together." In fact, Leo had invited Edward only because Mary had asked him to do so.

Mary complained that she never got the chance to be alone with Edward. So she came up with the idea

of asking her father to invite him. She didn't expect that Edward would refuse. Therefore she had to find

another excuse to invite Edward.

"Okay, let me check my schedule first. If I am free tonight, I will come." Edward replied. Since Luke

hadn't come back with any information on the investigation. He decided to do the search himself.

Nevertheless, their peculiar family intrigued him.

"Okay, Edward, I will be waiting for the good news." Mary got excited because she had secretly

checked Edward's schedule beforehand. She knew there were no meetings on his schedule after 4 pm.

She was thrilled to hear Edward's words.

"Okay. You can get to work now if there is nothing else. Anna, come in!" Edward said. Since Edward

had become used to Daisy's beautiful face without any makeup, he became repulsive to women

wearing heavy makeup. It seemed that he had changed his taste in women.
