It'll Come Naturally

Chapter 306 Are You Jealous

Daisy placed her hands around his neck and enjoyed the kiss. She felt lucky that she was loved by such an extraordinary man, that her love for Edward had a happy ending and that her dream came true. She asked for no fame and fortune. All she wanted was to spend the rest of her life with him.

"Now, tell me what happened?" asked Edward. He let go of Daisy and fixed his gaze on her. He wanted to know the answer.

"Nothing, I was just feeling a little depressed," replied Daisy. Daisy tried to avoid eye contact with him, in case he saw something in her eyes.

"Honey, I don't buy it! I love you, so I can sense the subtle change in your behavior. You can't fool me," said Edward. He frowned and started to fix her rumpled hair. She couldn't tell what he was thinking.

"Honey, I don't want to talk about it right now. Give me some time, Okay?" said Daisy in a gooey voice. Every time she spoke in this voice, she got what she wanted. In this regard, Edward was like every other man, proud and childish.

"Alright! But you look ugly now." said Edward. He gently caressed her cheek, then held her tightly and kissed her repeatedly. She was very dear to him.

"Edward, you promised not to make fun of me," complained Daisy. She left his hug and looked at him sadly. She knew she looked ugly but she didn't want to hear it from Edward.

"Yes, I promised. But that was a moment ago. The promise is invalid now," teased Edward. He did it on purpose, to make her argue with him. He wanted her to be lively instead of being depressed. He blamed himself for her sadness.

"Humph! I know I'm not as pretty and charming as your ex-girlfriends. That's why you don't like me," said Daisy. Knowing his intentions, she joked with him. She pretended to be offended, ran straight to

the sofa and sat down.

"Honey, are you jealous?" asked Edward. He casually walked up to her and gazed down at her with a meaningful look on his face. She could make fun of him as long as she was amused.

"Fuck off, I'm not jealous at all," Daisy looked up at him. Suddenly she felt anxious.

"Daisy, you're swearing again," Edward frowned. An aloof beauty like Daisy could also swear under some circumstances. How peculiar she was.

"Phew! Don't make a fuss. I swear frequently and you know that. Luckily you're not one of my soldiers. They've heard filthier words," said Daisy casually. She rolled her eyes. What else could she do? You couldn't be too graceful if you stayed in the army for as long as she did. She was known as the devil drillmaster because she had to be tough while training soldiers.

Edward was speechless, he thought, 'Is she a hoodlum? The longer I'm with her, the more she astounds me. I must have been taken in by her appearance!'

"Fortunately I am not your soldier, or I'll report you every day for your impolite language, ''said Edward. The smile on her face suddenly wavered and disappeared. Seeing that, Edward recollected what he had said just now. The word "report" had made her unhappy. He realized, perhaps someone was trying to set her up. Who would do that anyway?

"Honey, carry on with your work! I'll take a nap. Wake me up later." said Daisy. She became upset when she heard the word "report". Having cried for a long time, she was tired now.

"Are you okay? How about we go home now?'' asked Edward. Edward wanted to hit himself. He had tried so hard to make her happy. But now all the efforts were in vain.

"No, please go ahead with your work! I'm okay." said Daisy. She leaned back on the sofa and closed her eyes. She was hinting to end the topic.

"Alright, have a sound sleep. I'll wake you up after work, '' said Edward. He gave a tender kiss on the forehead, turned around and walked to his desk. He thought, 'She must be really exhausted. I've never seen her like this.'

Then he called Anna. Anna asked," Mr. Mu, what can I do for you?" Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

"Anna, don't let anyone in unless there is something important. I don't want to be disturbed." Edward told Anna. He was implying Rain and Aaron. They both knew nothing about being polite.

"Okay, Mr. Mu, anything else?" asked Anna. She wasn't surprised at his orders because she saw Daisy entering his office, teary-eyed. Anna knew they might need some space.

"No, bye!" Edward hung up the phone. He picked up the remote to regulate the room temperature. He knew she was awake. He was reading his files, trying not to stare at her and make her nervous.

Daisy wasn't just tired, she was also trying to avoid his questions. Revealing her emotional side made her vulnerable and weak. She loved him, so she didn't want to look weak in Edward's presence.

Edward, however, thought differently, 'Her keeping things from me means that she doesn't trust me. She can't rely on me that's why she won't let me in. She pretends to be ignorant whenever I show my care for her. In a word, she doesn't trust me. Every time I take a move, she steps back. She is really living up to her identity as a soldier. She is really good at applying military tactics to daily life.'

Time is a great healer. Daisy fell asleep soon. Edward laid her down on the sofa and covered her gently with his suit. Relieved, he sat casually on the floor and brushed a strand of hair out of her face. He wanted to touch her smooth face, but it might wake her up. So he just stared at her. She frowned even when she was asleep.

He thought, 'If it is possible, I want to get into your mind and find out what you're thinking. It was fine for you to shut me out of your inner world when I didn't say I love you. Because no one would reveal their true feelings to someone who doesn't love them. But I said I love you. Why do you still shut me out?' Why?

Time was ticking and Edward kept staring at her. When he couldn't feel his legs, he stood up and walked towards the window. He looked outside the window and wondered, ' I've been keeping busy recently. Am I the reason behind her problems?'

He laughed at himself and thought, ' I am the Prince Charming of S City and I never care about what those women think or feel. Now I've fallen in love with Daisy and my mood is deeply influenced by what she does.

Am I lucky or unlucky to be in love with such an independent woman? Luckily she never argues with me when she has something on me. Sadly, she is too independent. She never relies on me.'

At that moment, someone knocked at the office door. Edward turned around and looked at Daisy. When he made sure that Daisy wasn't awake, he walked towards the door in silence.

Edward walked out of the office and closed the door softly. He asked Anna, "What's up?"

"Mr. Ouyang is here."answered Anna. Instead of stepping inside the office after knocking as usual, she waited outside the office. Because she knew Mrs. Mu was in the office.

"What's he doing here?" asked Edward. He was a little worried. What if she woke up suddenly and saw Leo?

"I have no idea. I asked him to wait in the sitting room because you said you don't want to be disturbed," Anna didn't understand the strange relationship between Edward and Leo. But she wasn't

curious about it. As Edward's secretary, she had to be cautious with everything she did and she knew well about the boundaries. Otherwise, she'd be in trouble.

"Okay! I will go there and meet him. If Daisy wakes up, tell her I'm in the sitting room and I'll be back soon," said Edward. Worrying about Daisy, he was reluctant to leave her alone even for a second. He was afraid she would feel lost if she didn't see him when she woke up. But he had to figure out what Leo wanted.

"Okay, Mr. Mu, I got it," smiled Anna. Mr. Mu was being considerate towards a woman. This had never happened before. It seemed that Mr. Mu really loved Mrs. Mu.

Edward looked at the office door and then walked towards the sitting room. He wanted to know why Leo was here, 'Is he here to talk about Mary? Or he just needs my answer? Anyway, I despise him, even if he is Daisy's father. If he wasn't overwhelmed by hatred, Daisy would have been in a different situation now. But in that case, would I have been able to marry Daisy?' The thought of not being married to Daisy terrified Edward. Now he felt confused. Should he hate Leo or thank him? If it hadn't been for Leo's hatred for Daisy, Edward would never have the chance to marry her.
