RedNovelChapter 20: Chapter 20: "Hello, we meet again.
"Then, see you on the third of next month."
Bowing her head, Daisy Ginger took a puff from the cigarette between the man’s fingers, smiling as she softly
spoke to him.
Her voice was low, yet it carried a naturally husky and subtly ambiguous tone that drew attention to the words
sliding off her lips. As one’s gaze continued downward, they would notice her rosy lips, which currently wore a
fleeting, teasing smile.
She was the type of woman who could easily invoke a man’s desire to conquer her. Even Edward Stephens, who
felt nothing for her, was overtaken by a malicious urge to see that composed face of hers crumble and cry.
Amidst the swirling fog of their gazes, one face remained expressionless, while the other was brimming with a
smile.
Edward Stephens chuckled faintly. He released Daisy's chin, leaned back against the soft sofa, averted his gaze,
and said coldly, "Get out."
He feared his uncontrollable impulse to hit her.
Daisy chuckled softly and, not pressing further, indeed left.
However, as she turned away, she kicked aside the pink lunch box Emily Ginger had brought. It was unclear why
she harbored such deep-seated resentment toward her sister before she walked away with light footsteps.
By morning, the sun had fully risen outside the window. Edward Stephens sat on the sofa, resting his face on his
hand, unmoving.

After a long time, he opened his eyes and his gaze fell upon the cigarette butt between his fingers that had gone
out,
The small cigarette butt had a faint red lipstick mark on it. Edward glanced at it before raising his hand and
throwing it into the trash can.
Despite being a woman, who knew why she had a stronger nicotine craving than most men, insisting on taking a
puff even when he merely held it.

The news of Edward Stephens and Emily Ginger’s broken engagement quickly reached Lady Stephens.
Clearly, Lady Stephens was delighted and even invited her over for dinner when Edward was discharged from
the hospital.
She switched gears faster than flipping a book, quickly accepting her as a daughter-in-law.
Daisy ginger was in her office, listening to a financial report from her secretary. She gestured for the secretary to
be silent as she talked to Lady Stephens on the phone.
"Is Edward being discharged today?"
"He'll be discharged in the afternoon," Lady Stephens’ voice was full of joy, "Cover then, he’s just returning
home. I've asked the cook to prepare your favorite dishes, Daisy, you must come."
Daisy chuckled lightly, "Alright, I will."
It seemed Lady Stephens was genuinely happy for saving her son.
"My tailor made a few dresses for you, ctry them on today and see if you like them."
"Thank you, auntie."
Lady Stephens sweetly said a few more things before telling her to work well and hanging up the phone.
"Continue the report."

When she arrived, Edward Stephens was lazily leaning against the sofa in the lounge, playing on an iPad.
Holding the flowers, Daisy smiled brightly and greeted him, "Hello, we meet again."
