Chapter 153: Chapter 153: Related to You

Daisy Ginger finished her shower and came out, deliberately wearing a long-sleeved nightgown to cover the bruises on her shoulders from Ian Linton’s grip.

There wasn’t any special reason, just simply not wanting Edward Stephens to see them.

Anyway, she would handle the matter with Ian Linton herself.

Edward Stephens was leaning against the bedhead with his eyes closed, relaxing, until the bed dipped slightly as Daisy climbed up.

He turned to the side and opened his eyes to look at Daisy.

Her hair was already dry, emitting a faint fragrance of shower gel, it lay fluffy and loose over her shoulders, the air filled with a light scent of roses.

Daisy leaned against the bedhead, applying a face mask, and noticed Edward’s gaze, casting him a glance.

The man looked at her quietly, with seemingly no special emotion in his eyes, but just being gazed at by his deep ink-like eyes felt very affectionate.

It’s almost cheating.

Daisy felt her heart stir slightly under his gaze, and pouted, "Why are you looking at me?"

"..." Edward closed his eyes.

Daisy got upset, reached out, and tugged at his eyelids, "Open them for me!"

Edward sighed softly, looked at her, and asked, "What do you want?"

"Am I pretty?"

"Pretty."

"Am I prettier than Emily Ginger?"

"Yes."

Daisy raised her chin a bit, feeling a little smug, and finally let him go.

She removed the face mask, turned off the light, got under the covers, hugged his waist, and snuggled into his embrace, "Let’s sleep."
