Chapter 162: Kiss... Kiss...
Daisy was stirred awake half an hour later by the constant vibrations of her phone. She opened her eyes and slowly moved down from Ryle’s hand before checking the notifications on her phone.
Diana had texted her that she was staying at her in-law’s ancestral house for some time so that everyone could spend time with the little bun. Everyone in Maxim’s family, despite their differences, was excited about the arrival of this little member. And Diana also seemed very relieved about it. Daisy asked her to take care and not worry about other things.
Other than Diana, the person who had texted her was Secretary Han who had informed her about her schedule for the day. Daisy scrolled down the scheduled meetings and pinched the spot between her brows.
’’What’s bothering you?"
The soft husky voice had her looking to the side and she found Ryle who had opened his eyes at some point. His hand was still extended on the pillow and Angel had placed her head on his bicep, treating it like her pillow while she slept like a curled shrimp in his arms.
Daisy shook her head and looked at the time. It was past 9 am already. There was just a matter of half an hour left before the first meeting.
Daisy pulled out her phone and texted Secretary Han to postpone the meetings.
’’How long are you going to be my guest for?" she questioned Ryle as she got off the bed seeing that the man had no intention to budge from the bed.
Ryle looked at her, squinting his eyes lazily as he stretched his hand towards her quietly.
’’Do you need something?" Daisy walked to him while tying her hair in a bun.
He stretched his free hand and grabbed her elbow, pulling her hand as he kissed the back of her palm, ’’Don’t you want to sleep more?" he whispered and tugged her hand gently.
"_" This scene...
Why did it feel like a reluctant wife who was stopping her husband from going to work?
Seeing that she did not seem to budge in the slightest, he bit her finger before he closed his eyes, ’’Make a place for me, sweetheart. I am not going to be a guest,’’ it was the last thing he said before the room fell silent.
And in no time, she could hear the sound of even breathing.
One of his wide palms had already settled on little Angel while the other was placed under her head. Daisy didn’t know what possessed her because she walked to the other side of the bed, grabbed her bed, and clicked a picture quietly.
After Daisy finished showering, she woke Angel up for breakfast and Ryle tagged along too. The man did not explicitly tell her when he was leaving so she assumed that he would stay for a while this time.
The servants and the Butler were shocked from the bottom of their hearts when they saw Ryle coming out of her room with her. They still remembered that their elder miss had gone alone to her room last night.
Moreover, what surprised Daisy more was that Ryle seemed to have almost entered the house like a thief, without even alerting the guards. ’’If they put you behind bars someday, I won’t help you out,’’ she took a seat when he pulled a chair for her.
Ryle chuckled, ’’You want me cuffed?" he quirked a brow and looked into her eyes.
"_" Although he did not seem to have said anything indecent, why did those words sound so indecent?
At this time, Ivy was escorted down to the table by a servant. A look of surprise flashed over her face when she saw Ryle but she quickly composed himself and greeted.
Ryle was also familiar with the girl. When Daisy was at his mansion, unconscious for days after the incident in Shanghai, he had asked her over to help take care of Angel but even before that, he had come across her when she used to work for Maxim.
’’Ivy met an accident recently,’’ Daisy explained to him before she looked at the girl, ’’Come, take a seat.’’
Ryle was unbothered about it as long as it did not involve Daisy closely so he did not probe any further.
But Daisy questioned Ivy, ’’Do you have any plans?"
Ivy stiffened before she shook her head, ’’The job did not turn out well..’’ her voice trembled, ’’I also lost my passion project due to my recklessness.’’
Daisy had seen the girl pulling all-nighters to work. Everything had seemed so perfect when she spoke to her about her dream job that Daisy had not bothered to look into the matter. It was also not her matter to be involved in so she did not involve herself closely.
’’Stay here without any worries and focus on recuperating,’’ Daisy told the girl.
Ivy paused as if she wanted to say something but then she nodded.
The living room sunk in silence until there was the sound of a chair moving.
Daisy looked at Ryle who had gotten up and walked in the direction of her room.
Soon, the man came out of the room with the necklace that she had left on the bedside table.
Ryle pulled her hair to one side and put it on for her. His fingers trailed on her gently, not visible to others but the touch had her arching her back.
’’What are you doing?" she turned around to glare at him but her voice did not seem to be complaining at all.
Ryle smiled and leaned in before he pressed a kiss on her forehead, taking her back in an instant.
"_"
The rest of the people who were witnesses to this spectacular moment were also reeling in shock.
Ivy who had taken just a spoonful of soup in her mouth had her jaws hanging in disbelief.
Daisy’s mouth opened and closed like that of a fish.
’’Kiss... Kiss...’’ It was Angel who broke the extended silence as she pouted and leaned in Daisy’s arms, stretching her hand towards Ryle.
Ryle complied without hesitation and placed a soft kiss on the girl’s forehead. Content, the girl went back to nibble on the fruits on her plate, not realizing that her mother seemed to have turned into a stiff pole entirely.
Daisy’s face, at some point, had turned red as a beetroot.
