NovelBookChapter 68: Chapter 68: Engagement
The next morning, as a lingering effect of the fever, Daisy Ginger’s voice was completely hoarse.
Lady Stephens got up early, having just finished her morning exercise. Seeing Daisy coming downstairs, she
smiled and greeted her, "Good morning, Daisy."
Daisy opened her mouth but couldn't make a sound. Behind Lady Stephens, Edward Stephens, who had already
finished breakfast, lazily glanced at her and let out a scornful snicker, expressing ridicule.
What a bastard.
Daisy puffed her cheeks, walked downstairs, and kicked Edward in an unladylike manner, chasing him into the
living room.
"Lost your voice?" Lady Stephens cover, first checking her forehead with a hand, then gently said, "I'll have
the chef prepare spear with rock sugar for you to take along today. Did you take the medicine yesterday?"
"| did." It turned out Edward brought her the medicine last night at Lady Stephens’ request. Daisy nodded and
was led into the dining room by Lady Stephens.

Having breakfast with Lady Stephens, Daisy excitedly ran out to find Edward. The man was leaning on the sofa
watching the news, and when he saw her cout, he glanced at her, didn’t say a word, and turned to go
outside.
Her voice was hoarse, unable to call out, so she just ran over and tugged at the hem of his clothes.
Edward felt the pull on his clothing, paused, and turned his head slightly to look at her.
Maybe due to just recovering from illness, Daisy looked particularly pale today.
Yet her eyes were lively and bright.
She looked up at him, her dark eyes reflecting his face, with a vibrant sparkle.
"Edward, thank you for takingto work," she rasped, standing on tiptoe to plant a kiss on his lips.
Edward lazily lifted his eyes to glance at Daisy Ginger, then responded indifferently, "Mm."

At the end of the workday, Edward cas promised to pick her up.
Daisy Ginger opened the passenger seat. Before getting in the car, she heard someone calling her from behind,
"Director Ginger."
Daisy turned around and saw lan Linton.
He was dressed in a suit, looking handsand gentlemanly, without much aggressiveness, making one
naturally feel good upon seeing him.
Daisy smiled back at him, greeting him, "lan, why are you here?"
"Cwith my father to do sinspections around here." lan walked over and, with a smile, greeted Edward
sitting in the car, "Long tno see, Edward."
Edward nodded politely, which was considered a response.
"I've been wanting to find Director Ginger these days," lan told Daisy, "Emily mentioned you haven't been home
lately. | figured you must be busy with work, so I didn’t want to disturb you. Since we met today, | thought I'd
give you the invitation as well."
Invitation?
Daisy Ginger was slightly taken aback, confusion surfacing in her eyes, "What invitation?"
"Didn’t Emily tell you?" lan seemed a bit surprised too, handing over two red invitations with gold embossing, "At
the beginning of next month, Emily and | are having our engagement ceremony. Director Ginger, you absolutely
must honor us with your presence."
Daisy was slightly stunned. She didn’t know why, but instinctively turned to look at Edward.
The man sat in the car, in the dim evening shadows, with no change in expression on his face, but Daisy still
clearly felt Edward's aura freeze for a moment.
Abigail Perry's actions were so quick that it even surprised her somewhat.
Just like how she dealt with Edward back then, if she hadn't intervened, perhaps Edward would already be
pushed by Abigail into marrying Emily.
One marrying another, one about to be engaged, and thus, they would have no further connection.
Daisy stood in the sunset, a faint smile on her lips mixed with a touch of indifference.
