Chapter 823 Proud And Cold Edward (Part One)
"Alright. I\'ll be careful. Thank you. Mr. Mu." The old man had sensed the impatience in Edward\'s voice. He knew he had made some mistakes in the past which pissed Edward off. However, the consequences from his actions were inevitable, thus, he didn\'t dare show a bit of disrespect.
"Then, have a good day. Goodbye." One short nod and Edward walked away in a haste without looking back. He had promised to pick up Justin from school though he had no idea what troubles his son had made today.
Everybody\'s attention was drawn by a majestic Rolls Royce as soon as it pulled over outside the school gate. It seemed like the world had stopped for them when an immeasurably handsome man suddenly moved out of the car and leaned against the hood. Enchantment washed over women as the men who also saw the view instantly turned jealous. How on earth could a man have such a beautiful face and wealth!
Edward\'s wry smile made him more charming and irresistible as he stood there. He had got lots of fans that included both old ladies and girls. All of them felt drawn to him. Nevertheless, Edward just ignored them and remained to stare at the school gate until he saw his son jumping giddily out of the school, towards him. That was the only time when he comfortably smiled.
"Daddy, Daddy, look!" shouted Justin while rushing to his father. He seemed rather elated.
"Look at what?" asked Edward curiously. He bent over and lifted his son up as he wondered about what Justin wanted him to look at.
"The girl who just walked out of the school with me. Isn\'t she beautiful?" Justin whispered to his father\'s ear then pointed out to a group of girls.
"Which one?" Edward saw so many girls outside the school gate and had no idea which one Justin was referring to.
"The girl in plaits hair and has two dimples. The one in a princess dress. She\'s too beautiful to be ignored easily!" said Justin anxiously. He was afraid that his daddy might not see her.
"Yes. I see her. What\'s wrong with her?" Edward couldn\'t help his lips from twitching soon as he spotted the young girl. Now he knew why h
e, " Edward said with a smile. What he felt was a concoction of joy and sadness. Daisy had been extremely busy and tired recently. He couldn\'t do much for his wife except to emotionally support her. He was a businessman after all and could barely engage in military activities. It made him feel bad, since he was strong in will but weak in power.
"You\'re terribly wrong. I\'m not a foodie. Grandma told me that I\'m a kid and kids need nutrients to grow up. Otherwise, I\'m gonna be short, and weak, and no girl will love me." Justin went back to pouting. The child thought sullenly that he shouldn\'t be judged for his fondness for food. Food-obsession wasn\'t his fault.
"What? Did your grandma tell you that?" asked Edward in surprise. Those outdated ideas his mother told his son were annoying. As far as he was concerned, balanced diet was much better than eating too much.
"Yes. What\'s wrong?" asked Justin before sporting a sweet smile. This was exactly the reason why he liked his grandparents so much. They never controlled him from eating. Although grandpa might protest sometimes, grandma would glower at him. Then she would order him to stop being annoying.
"Never mind. I hope for you to still agree with your grandma once you grow up to be fat and ugly" Edward shot a curious glance at his son. Justin might be slender for a kid right now. He would be fat one day though if he couldn\'t stick to the balanced diet. Thus, Edward always paid attention to his son\'s diet whenever they ate together.
"No, that certainly would not happen. I do exercise with Uncle Luke every day, " said Justin defiantly. Then he stretched his arms and showed off his muscles, implying that he was strong rather than fat.
