It'll Come Naturally

Chapter 361 Are You Trying to Avoid Me

"Jessica, I assure you that your child has nothing to do with my husband. Even if you don't believe me, you shouldn't bother me. You should ask him directly, and he will prove it to you. I hope you won't disturb our life anymore."

Clearly, Daisy didn't want to explain anything to her anymore. From the day she returned from the military exercise, she was cornered by Jessica on every step. It was like being hunted by a ghost. Every time they met, Jessica always said something that hurt Daisy. Truth be told Daisy hated Jessica.

"OK. I will prove that this is Edward's son and at that time, you'll be sorry for everything." Jessica glared at Daisy. She wanted to scratch Daisy's pretty face. Perhaps then she wouldn't act so proud.

"Well, I'll wait for that day to come. As a colonel, I never fight a war without preparation. You're going to lose, Jessica," Daisy said with a smile on her face. Life seemed to be a continually changing battlefield. But she had to face it.

"Ha-ha! Daisy, has anyone ever told you that you're really annoying, especially with your arrogant looks?" Jessica gritted her teeth in anger. Since Edward's mother did not like her, she didn't have to pretend to be gentle and kind. She was a shrew not a noblewoman.

"I know that, so don't bother telling me again." Daisy didn't think she's excessively appealing. The soldiers in the military base were so afraid of her that they secretly called her the devil. Daisy was quite aware of this fact.

"Humph!" Jessica knew that Daisy wanted her to leave. She would be more embarrassed if she didn't. So she gave a cold look to Daisy and left. Jessica thought that she would take revenge soon. After all, the final winner was yet to be known.

"Daisy, just ignore her. If you get bothered by such a woman, you will get the short end of the stick. Besides, it can't be Edward's son. I'm sure you've talked to each other about that, so don't mind what

she said." Although she was sure that it wasn't Edward's child, she was still a little worried. She wasn't as confident as she had been. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

"I know, mom. He has explained that to me." Daisy smiled reluctantly. How foolish she would be if she cared about Jessica's words. So she'd better face everything calmly. Worrying wasn't going to solve anything. After all, nothing hurt more than being betrayed.

Daisy liked to keep a safe distance from women like Jessica. She wondered why Jessica behaved so sleazily. Daisy was disturbed by Jessica's mean behavior which made her look like an uneducated person. She was quite perturbed by her change. She worried that she would soon turn into a tacky woman who abused other females for a man. She involuntarily shivered at the thought that she might also become like that one day.

With the cold breeze flowing, it wasn't as warm as before. Strolling alone in the park, Daisy felt calm and comfortable. Neither Daisy nor Cynthia wanted to visit another mall because of Jessica. And then Cynthia was called away by her friends, so Daisy was left alone. Not knowing what to do, she drove to a suburban park to relax for a while.

Daisy strolled along the path in the park. The breeze blew, and her long hair flowed with her skirt. She looked as beautiful as a fairy. If anyone saw her right now, they would feel that they had come to a fairyland on earth. It was beautiful here, but it was too quiet for such a beautiful autumn afternoon. An average girl wouldn't dare to come to such a remote place alone, let alone take a walk.

Just then, Daisy's phone rang. The ringtone was so loud that the brave and vigilant Colonel, was taken aback for a moment before she realized it was her own phone. Daisy was so absorbed in her thoughts that she didn't react as she should have.

"Hello," Daisy answered without saying her name. She knew Edward could recognize her voice. She didn't understand why she was so sure about it. Maybe, it was an unspoken understanding between

them.

"Baby, where are you? Why do you sound so gloomy? I hope you have recovered from your cold." Edward was signing the papers when he called Daisy. He felt sorry to hear her voice because he felt she was very sad.

"I am fine. I am just walking around in the suburban park." After hearing that, Edward thought Daisy must be distraught, otherwise, why would she go off to the suburban park alone? But why would she go there all of a sudden? He thought she was at home. After all, she liked silence and solitude.

"Just tell me where you are. I will come to meet you." As he spoke, Edward fetched a pen. Anxiety was evident on his handsome face.

"No, I want to be alone. Please take care of your work first! Just leave me alone. I will see you at home later." Edward knew how vulnerable Daisy was. She did not want him to think that she was a woman without the strength of character. Daisy wished that she'd always be the most special person for Edward. She wanted to be unique and irreplaceable in Edward's eyes.

"OK. I won't come, but you have to tell me where you are. I want to ensure you are safe." For Edward, Daisy was just his beloved wife, not a Colonel, so he was always worried about her safety.

"Edward, I am not an ordinary woman. I can protect myself. Just leave me alone." Daisy was still mad at Jessica. It was really annoying to get bothered by her husband's ex-girlfriend repeatedly. Daisy vented out her resentment against Jessica on Edward.

"Daisy, are you trying to avoid me? Or, I shouldn't ask you anything because I am snooping on your privacy?" Edward was so angry that the veins on his forehead protruded. His eyes were still cold. Edward had always been a proud man. He never cared about a woman as he did for Daisy. He didn't like the fact that Daisy not only dismissed his concern but also blamed him.

"I am so sorry! I didn't mean it. Just forget what I said. I don't know what I want to do." Daisy explained hurriedly. Daisy could hardly contain her tears. What was wrong with her? Why did she vent out her complaints to him? Didn't she tell herself not to care about his past? So then why was she feeling so emotional?

"Just tell me where you are. I don't care if you are an omnipotent female colonel or not. You are my wife, and I care about you." Edward picked up his car keys as he spoke and quickly left the office without saying a word to the group of secretaries outside. He was anxious about her safety when he heard her sobbing voice.

"Why do you have such a horrible past and why do I have to face the painful memories?" Daisy cried. Edward and Jessica's past bothered her. Every time Daisy saw Jessica, she couldn't help but imagine how much they had loved each other in the past. Though Daisy pretended not to care about that, she was in deep pain.

After hearing her, Edward stopped unwittingly. His instinct told him that Daisy must have met someone today; otherwise, she wouldn't behave like that. He knew Daisy would never question him like that, no matter how sad she was.

Edward knew his past was horrible, so he accepted Daisy's criticism. He wished he hadn't been a playboy. At that time, he had chosen the dissolute lifestyle to balance his life.

Edward thought Daisy didn't care about his shameful past. He didn't know that she just pretended not to care. Daisy kept trying to control her emotions, but the feeling was growing deeper than she could bear. That's why Daisy was so uncontrollably emotional.

Edward came out of the FX International Group building, and immediately left in a royal blue Maybach. Edward drove as fast as the F1 drivers. Luke followed Edward closely. He didn't know what was going

on; he was worried about him, but he knew there was only one person who could make Edward so insane, Daisy.
