This is it, thoroughly entangled with her.
Daisy Ginger couldn’t catch her breath and started coughing in anger.
Edward Stephens smiled and patted her back, finally quieting down, no longer saying anything to provoke her.
He probably knew how he was attracted to her.
Before he even realized his feelings for her, her excessively alluring appearance caught his eye, and her passion, more intense than fire, stirred his heart.
Under her fierce pursuit, perhaps there isn’t a man in this world who could prevent her from coming in.
It’s not just about beauty...
Although, she is indeed so beautiful that even a steadfast man would be moved.
But more than that, it’s her passion that contrasts strikingly with the Stephens family...
It’s a strong emotion he never experienced or possessed from childhood, and no man from the Stephens family could resist such a woman.
Yes.
Obsession.
He was indeed obsessed with Daisy Ginger’s uniqueness.
When he wanted to pull away, he was already deeply entrenched.
He didn’t plan to save himself, even taking pleasure in indulging in this relationship, a rare mont of irrationality in his life, feeling like a drug that holds a seductive power...
He was practically like he was on drugs.
Even a year ago, he wouldn’t have imagined being so possessive over a woman, wanting to keep her by his side until death.
Watching himself sinking into madness with a clear mind was truly thrilling.
Unfortunately, Daisy Ginger would never know how deeply he was obsessed with her.
She simply had no idea how deadly her allure was to n.
She even blad others for not letting go of her.
Yet he also liked her innocence.
Maybe it’s true that she’s inexperienced; she hasn’t dealt with any n over the years, so she doesn’t know her appeal to the opposite sex...

Edward Stephens took her to the cinema to watch a morning movie.
It was a newly released road movie. The cinema was almost empty in the morning, and Daisy Ginger wasn’t interested in such artistic films, so she curled up in the seat and took a nap.
She only woke up near the end of the film.
Beside her, the man was still watching intently.
The cinema was dimly lit, his sharply defined profile flickering in the changing lights of the theater.
He must have liked it a lot, so much so that he didn’t notice her waking up. The popcorn he had specifically bought was barely touched and had gone cold.
Interests, hobbies, tastes...
So things need to be nurtured from a young age.
Her family wasn’t a scholarly one, Alice Lesser painted, but it was just a hobby, far from being a renowned artist.
Truthfully, she was marrying above her social class with Edward Stephens.
Deep down, they weren’t the sa kind of people.
She would never waste ti watching any road movie in her life, nor had any interest in famous novels from various countries. She couldn’t learn a language in a few months nor fall in love quickly.
She’s conservative, slow to warm up, stubborn, and full of the stench of money.
She’s an old-school businesswoman, proficient in nothing but business.
She couldn’t stay in Chicago, couldn’t be a caged bird, or like other won, behave herself and accept fate.

Daisy Ginger disappeared.
When Edward Stephens realized this fact, he entered the won’s restroom with a cold face, devoid of expression.
