Chapter 330: Chapter 329: No Way to Seek Help

Daisy bit into a candy, casting a suspicious glance at him.

She always thought his smile looked a bit mischievous.

Edward Stephens closed the window and came over to pour her a glass of water: "Rinse your mouth. It’s quiet outside, time to sleep."

Daisy murmured "oh," lifted the blanket, and snuggled inside.

Edward went to the bathroom to wash his face, then returned to bed and gently embraced Daisy.

There was a faint strawberry scent around her, smelling slightly milky, making him chuckle.

She really was a little girl.

His little girl.

The journey from the county town back to Banyan City took two and a half days.

The soft candies Edward bought at the small shop were all eaten by Daisy along the way.

In the backcountry, there wasn’t much good food to eat, so when Edward would lean in for a kiss, he could taste the sweet fruit flavor.

They returned to Banyan City in the evening; Daisy was brought back home by Edward, they ate a bit casually, then both collapsed onto the bed and fell asleep.

They were truly exhausted.

Before Daisy drifted off into a deep sleep, she secretly vowed that if she ever needed to escape again, she would flee to a big city. Though small towns might have beautiful scenery and fresh air, her frail body couldn’t endure the wear and tear of travelling, one trip back and forth felt like it would wrench her apart.

Early the next morning, Daisy went to the company. Without Edward’s continuous influence, the Gingers’ stock had stabilized, the bank loans were issued, finances in each department circulated normally, and several managers who had submitted resignation letters withdrew them. It was much better than the situation had been teetering on the brink.

But Daisy also knew this was merely a balance that Edward maintained for her.
