Hold On Mr.! Your Sweetheart is a Real Queen-Chapter 98: The Domesticated Wolf

Zoe Hilker ran over, feeling distressed, and grabbed Daisy’s hand. Her small, young face was furrowed with worry: "Daisy, you haven’t slept for a whole day and night, right? Can’t you take a day off? Your company won’t go bankrupt without you for a day."

"I’ve wasted an entire night," Daisy replied with a faint smile, pulling her hand out of Zoe’s grasp, "I can’t waste another day. Alright, you all should go back."

Zoe, hearing this, was almost seething with anger, her heart aching: "If I had known that Edward Stephens, that jerk, would stand you up, Ethan and I would have come to spend your birthday with you. If it weren’t for trying to create a special moment for you two..."

Ever since the incident at the Ginger Residence, Daisy hadn’t celebrated her birthday.

This year, when the Ginger Residence brought it up, everyone thought Daisy was finally letting go of that emotional knot, but unexpectedly, on the most important day, the person who should have been there, wasn’t.

Zoe cursed Edward Stephens in her heart a hundred and eighty times before pouting and saying to Daisy, "Daisy, don’t forgive him so easily this time. If you don’t let him cool off and reflect for a few days, he’ll never learn his lesson!"

Beside her, Ethan Pond spoke quietly, "Perhaps he had some urgent matter last night."

Zoe glanced at him, elbowing his waist in anger, "Why are you still speaking up for him?"

Ethan ignored her, just lifted his head to look at Daisy: "When I found him at four-thirty in the morning yesterday, he was drenched, with mud all over his pants. He must have been to the beach and didn’t make it in time."

Zoe, hearing this, protested indignantly, "What’s the use if he arrives? Daisy waited for him at the beach until midnight. Being late is being late, who celebrates a birthday the next day?"

As they exchanged words, Daisy maintained a calm demeanor throughout, her snow-white face showing no change in expression.

She glanced at Ethan and spoke coldly, "If you dare take a baseball bat and go out hitting people without thinking again, you’ll spend years in prison because I’m not going to bail you out from the detention center anymore. Understood?!"

"..." Ethan’s lips moved as he lowered his head under Daisy’s cold stare, muttering an "Okay," "Got it."

He was as obedient as a tamed house wolf.

Zoe joined in on the scolding, "Exactly! All you know is how to hit people all day. See, you’ve caused trouble for Daisy again this time, haven’t you? Daisy didn’t sleep all night, wasting her time on a fool like you~"

Ethan, seeing her stirring up trouble, glared at Zoe when Daisy couldn’t see, scaring her so much that she stiffened, almost wagging her tail.

"I’m sorry," Ethan hung his head, admitting fault to Daisy, "There won’t be a next time... I just couldn’t stand it, seeing you so hopeful."

Zoe scoffed, curling her lips in disdain as she watched Ethan pretend to be good in front of Daisy.

"Alright." Daisy’s expression remained placid, "Don’t bring it up anymore. I didn’t blame you; I was just upset that you don’t take care of yourself. If something really happened to you, if there were casualties, I couldn’t protect you even if I wanted to. Ethan, I’m just an ordinary person; don’t act on impulse again."

Ethan kept his head down, his handsome face showing a hint of guilt as he looked at Daisy, his voice hoarse, "I’m sorry, Daisy."

Daisy smiled faintly, stepped forward, and patted Ethan’s shoulder, "I’m leaving."

She took a step forward, pulled out her phone, and called Oliver Rubio to ask him to pick her up at the hospital entrance.
