Chapter 142 Honey, Did You Skip Breakfast Again

Daisy had been busy all morning writing out the exercise programs, training, and investigating the field -- all urgent. She got some water and breathed a sigh of relief, happy to take a break.

She was about to sit down to do more work when her phone rang. She picked it up, without checking the caller's ID.

"Hello, Daisy speaking." She thought it polite to identify herself first when on the phone.

"Honey, did you skip breakfast again?" Edward frowned and asked.

"Hi Edward. I haven't eaten yet. Is something wrong?" Daisy wondered why he called her at this hour.

"Why not? Have you checked the time?" 'The woman has no idea how to take care of herself. She often misses meals. How busy can she be?'

"I have been too busy to eat." Mark was organizing the equipment for the war game, so nobody brought her food.

"You make it seem like you're even busier than I am." Resigned to the situation, Edward sighed. He couldn't help thinking of her at every meal. What was she doing? Had she eaten a decent meal? He was no longer the carefree playboy.

"Do you mean you have too much time?" she asked. Daisy liked to tease him, but she knew her time in the army wasn't all war games, assessments, or field tasks. She might be busy one day, and just doing meaningless work the next. It's how the military worked.

"Of course not, but at least I still have time to eat." He had always taken meals seriously. Work was endless. After one meal it would be still there.

"That's why you have time to call me on the phone and talk nonsense. I'm too busy right now." Daisy could be clueless sometimes and said something hurtful like that.

"Daisy, do you really think I have nothing better to do than talk to you on the phone?" Work was piling up. He put it all aside and called her because he cared. She didn't seem to understand that. He felt like a fool. This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

"Um, honey, that's not what I meant." She put the file down and started trying to coax him into a good mood. He was about to explode in rage, and she didn't mean to make him angry.

"Calling me honey won't work this time." He was really angry. She never called him first, and she seemed annoyed when he called her.

"Honey, are you really mad?" She had treated him badly. She realized her own mistake, which darkened her mood.

"I'm not. Go back to work. You don't need to be disturbed by a lazy bum like me." He hung up quickly and waited for her to call back. But she didn't.

Daisy was about to call him back, try and make him feel better, when Kevin walked in.

"Daisy, I don't think you've eaten, so I brought you something." The well-pressed army uniform perfectly framed his slender figure. He looked handsome and dignified.

"Hi, Kevin. Haven't you eaten?" Daisy put down the phone and removed the files.

"Yes I have. But since Mark is not around, I'm happy to bring food to milady." Kevin joked, putting the food on the desk.

"You, the young major general, run errands for me. I'm so flattered." Daisy opened the boxes and was ready to dig in. She was so hungry. The training had consumed her a lot of energy. She had been

considering going to the canteen herself before he came in.

"You make fun of me even when your mouth is full." Kevin smiled. He was always late getting food. She was no better.

"I was just following your logic. Have you really eaten? Would you like some?" Daisy picked up the chopsticks for him and asked.

"Don't worry. Have I ever lied to you?" Kevin rolled his eyes. She used to be so uptight, and only let down her hair in private. She'd changed a lot.

"Then I will get started," She ate quickly. There were lots of things to deal with. She had to finish up early and get home and deal with her angry husband.

"Slow down. You'll choke." Kevin said thoughtfully. His warning was oddly prophetic, as she began to cough, eyes watering.

Daisy covered her mouth with her hand. She felt embarrassed. Luckily, she was not choking in front of Edward. He would have kept nagging about it.

"Told you so." Kevin poured a glass of water for her and patted her back.

"Thanks. I'm fine now." She felt better after drinking some water. Daisy flashed Kevin an awkward smile, so faint it was almost unnoticeable. Sometimes being too busy to eat was a bad thing.
