It'll Come Naturally

Chapter 140 Did I Scare You

The first rays of dawn drew back the veils of night, and gently settled on the sleeping beauty lying on the fancy bed. Duke, who was sitting beside the bed smiled gently, looking at the signed paper in his hands.

He was not joking when he told Belinda that she would be his wife eventually. With this document, she belonged to him, completely, legally. Duke was eager to see Belinda's reaction. She would be annoyed to find out they were already registered for marriage.

Daisy got up early today as usual, and headed to the military base in the dazzling red Ferrari. All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

Daisy had no time to sort out the documents she brought back last night. Leena dropped in unannounced, and visited her for too long. She had to head out early to finish her work.

Suddenly, she slammed on the brakes and the car screeched to a halt. There was a woman in the middle of the road.

Daisy quickly got out of the car and walked over to the woman. "I'm so sorry. Are you alright? Did I scare you?" Daisy believed in her own driving skills. She was positive she braked in time. However, the woman must be terrified -- it was so close.

"Oh! I'm fine." the woman answered. She stood up slowly, and Daisy noticed she looked very pale. But was it because she was scared, or something bad had happened to her?

"Are you sure? Do you need a hospital?" Daisy asked in a concerned tone. She could see elegance along with some loneliness in the woman's eyes.

"No thanks. I need to start looking out for cars when I cross the road next time. Sorry. You should go." The woman's voice was soft, but there was no vitality in it. Lacking in emotion. She didn't look up at all, immersed in her own little world.

"This is my card. You can call me if you need anything." Daisy handed the card to her. Although the woman was unharmed, the sudden screech of the car must have frightened her.

"Daisy Ouyang, colonel of the military district in S city." The woman read the card aloud softly, She finally looked up, surprised at the fact that Daisy had become a colonel at such a young age. Also, it was unusual for an officer to own such a fancy car. It seemed to her that the city had been changing quickly.

"Where are you headed? I can take you there." Daisy smiled gently, and felt for this woman. She could see this woman was suffering as Daisy had been in the past, and she wanted to help. But why did she turned up on the street alone, at this hour of the morning? She looked so lost.

"No, thank you. It's kind of you to offer, though. I'll keep the card. We'll meet again, I hope." The mysterious woman waved to her and left.

Daisy started the car quickly. She noticed she'd be late in 10 minutes. She took a long look at the road, and it was the same as it ever was, as if nothing had happened.

She pulled into the base, and the soldiers immediately saluted. They recognized the red Ferrari and her uniform.

It was not Daisy's intention to drive the Ferrari to work. It was because that Edward came to pick her up yesterday, and she left her own car in the military district. Daisy didn't intend to drive the Ferrari, but her own car was still on base.

She knew that the luxurious car would attract undue attention. Certainly it was not an officer's car. But she ignored the notion that she might have gotten the car illegally -- she'd never broken the law in her life.
