Hold On Mr.! Your Sweetheart is a Real Queen

Chapter 236: Chapter 236 Daisy Ginger firmly refuses to give Edward Stephens this advantage.

Daisy Ginger was made uncomfortable.

What frightened Daisy Ginger even more was that whenever she came out of the bathroom in her pajamas after taking a shower, she’d always receive a meaningful glance from Edward Stephens, who was lying in bed reading.

His gaze was different from how he used to look at her, carrying a disturbing warmth that seemed to measure her from head to toe, as if she weren’t wearing pajamas at all, making her skin crawl.

This made Daisy Ginger later on avoid wearing thin pajamas in front of him, and she’d wrap herself completely to avoid giving the man any opportunity.

Edward didn’t say much about it, he would just occasionally give her a casual smile when she was bundled up completely, a smile so meaningful that it made Daisy’s legs weak, and she couldn’t help but curse Edward a thousand times in her mind.

Despite sleeping and eating together with Edward for some time, nothing substantial happened between them; they would kiss and hug but were as innocent as elementary schoolers. And now, he’s teasing her with his eyes—this man is really repressed.

Daisy Ginger firmly refused to let Edward take advantage of her.

During the end of the year, Edward Stephens was truly enjoying his time.

Reading books, teasing Daisy Ginger, and occasionally taking her to visit Nicholas Woods for re-examination, his days were very relaxed.

He spent almost his whole life surrounded by programs and numbers; except for his carefree youth, there wasn’t much time for his mind to be truly at ease, but in Banyan City, he found the long-lost peace.

Edward Stephens was comfortable, but Daisy Ginger was almost overwhelmed.

Not only did Edward occasionally stare at her predatory-like in bed, but the company’s issues were also unraveling like a tangled yarn, becoming increasingly troublesome.

First, it was a lawsuit with the competitor; as soon as that was over, the board had some issues, and before they finished with the board, a contract worth nearly a billion dollars had problems. Someone stole the company’s private seal and signed the contract with another company, requiring billions in breach penalties.

While handling this series of problems, Daisy Ginger subtly realized someone was deliberately targeting her. She was too busy to settle down and investigate, as if playing Whac-a-Mole, pressing down one here only for another to pop up there.
