Chapter 973 Efficacy Of The Drug (2/2)

”You're my wife in name only, on paper only. My heart and love will never be yours.”

Edward made it clear to Daisy that she was nothing to him. They were both victims of family greed -- the marriage was arranged for them.

Six years passed. She remained quiet, gaining a reputation in the army as a tough-as-nails colonel. When she walked into his life again, Edward fell in love with this woman...

”Err... I have something to tell you.” Julie swallowed the lump in her dry throat and thought quickly about an excuse to get herself out of this predicament.

”Why couldn't you just call me and tell me over the phone?” Zed looked at her sternly as he lay the pen down that he was holding.
