It'll Come Naturally

Chapter 362 Do You Have The Guts To Say It Again

Daisy feebly leaned against a tree along the path and thought to herself, "Am I crazy? Why am I being so emotional?" She didn't know how to face Edward later. She couldn't wait to run away, but she was afraid that Edward would get angry if he didn't see her here. She had felt his rage by the way he yelled at her on the phone moments ago.

Daisy bit her lips and asked herself, "Since when did I become a stereotypical sentimental woman? From the success of FX International Group, I should have known that he's not as benign as it appears. Why did I make his repressed viciousness come out?"

Edward sped off along the way. Luckily, it wasn't the rush hour, so he didn't meet an accident. But when he got out of the downtown area, he began to slow down, to avoid any mishaps. Luke was driving behind him insanely to follow his car.

Blue eyes, pointed nose, soft lips, and a chiseled jawline, his handsome face was still attractive even when he was angry. Edward moved his lips coldly and began to feel a sting in his heart. 'Was she blaming me?' He thought to himself. 'She probably despises me. Does she think I am lewd because I have slept with countless women?

She doesn't know that I may seem like a womanizer, but I have only slept with a few of those women. The rest of the women were just a cover for me to confuse people into believing that I'm a promiscuous playboy.'

The truth of the matter was, he did all of that to attract his parents' attention. Even though they were traveling around the world, Edward knew that his parents were keeping an eye on him. He deliberately led a dissolute life to attract their concern. But in the end, it was all in vain because it proved to be meaningless for them.

Edward never doubted the power of true love; his parents were living proof of eternal love. But he had never found anyone who could pull his heartstrings before, so naturally, love was out of the question.

However, one fine morning a few months ago, Daisy suddenly showed up, without any greetings, explanations or even eye contact, she left Justin to him and walked away. She was arrogant and cold like the wintersweet. Edward was attracted to her personality, and right at that moment, something in his heart changed.

Gradually he walked towards her, and he lost his heart with every step. He made every effort to keep Daisy in his life; he even gave up his dissolute life. Soon his love turned boisterous, and he landed in her love trap. But he didn't plan to run away. Instead, he was willing to be imprisoned by her love. However, he felt Daisy didn't appreciate all that he had done for her.

He thought to himself: "Daisy, I thought you understand me well and you feel the pain hidden inside me. But it seems that you don't understand me at all. You've made me doubt your love for me. I thought you loved me unconditionally and accepted all my weaknesses and strengths, but perhaps you are like all the other women, who just loves me for my appearance and fortune."

'No. I shouldn't think about Daisy this way. I shouldn't devalue her love for me. Who else can I trust but her?' Edward thought. 'If I am not moved by all the pain and bitterness you have faced through the years, then I don't deserve your love. Your words really hurt me, but as long as you stay with me, I can ignore it.'

A screech of breaks broke the quietness of the afternoon garden; it also stirred Daisy from her reverie. She looked at the familiar car and thought: 'How could he get here so fast? Even if he drove at full speed, he couldn't reach here in less than an hour. How fast did he drive to arrive here in half an hour? He could have met an accident.' Daisy's face grew pale by this thought. NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

Edward was quietly sitting in the car while looking at his graceful wife who had a cold look on her face. He frowned and began to study her carefully through the thick windshield. He took a deep breath when he discovered that Daisy was safe and sound. He didn't move but continued to stare at her cold but

beautiful face with his blue eyes. He didn't move because he had run out his energy in driving and he couldn't feel his legs.

Why wasn't he getting out of the car? She expected him to get off as soon as the car stopped and rush to blame her! But he was just sitting there still. Daisy felt confused by this, she didn't dare to take any action. She just looked at Edward's gloomy face, through the windshield.

Luke, who was sitting in another car close to Edward's, frowned, wondering what had happened to Edward. He escorted Edward while he drove insanely and dangerously fast. Now Edward was just watching Daisy from a distance, pretending to be cool. What was wrong with him? 'I was scared to death, and I almost turned into a lunatic on the way here', Luke thought. If Edward wasn't in a hurry, why did he drive so fast? Was he trying to show off his driving skill? Luke knew that even if he stomped on the accelerator pedal with all his might, he wouldn't catch up with Edward's car which was excellent in performance.

Edward was waiting for Daisy to come to him. He was contemplating if she was a superficial woman who loved him only for his appearance. He was angry at Daisy for standing there still and not coming to him. If he could, he would have held Daisy in his arms right away and kissed her hard. Edward wanted to figure out whether she still thought he was lewd. But he couldn't because the last words she had said to him were still ringing in his ears.

"Edward, I wish I won't fall in love with you in my next life as I have been deeply regretful for that in this life." These words were the reason why Edward drove at full speed, regardless of the danger. There was only one thing in his mind at that time: he would ask her if she felt regretful to fall in love with him, face to face.

Daisy bit her lips, realizing that her yelling and accusations on the phone were way too harsh and they forced him to yell back. She didn't have the courage to apologize to him as his words were ringing in her ears too.

"Daisy, what did you say? Do you have guts to say it again? If you dare do it, I promise I would spank you hard. Now you'd better stay there. Otherwise, be prepared to get bedridden for a month and then I'll see if you dare say such things again." She knew that Edward would do as he said, so she stayed where she was and kept still even when he showed up.

He must be still mad at her! Because he had been there for a while, but he stayed in the car. Did he take her impulsive words seriously? Or was he feeling regretful now? She felt disconcerted by this thought. If it was true, what should she do?

"Hey, are you sure to continue this cold war with me?" Edward said, with his slender body leaning against the car door like a weary lion. He had gotten off the car when Daisy was in deep thought, so she didn't notice him. It was hard to perceive his thoughts from his deep eyes, but the sarcasm on his handsome face was quite obvious.

He thought she would come to him to explain her outburst on the phone. He had waited for quite some time now, but she didn't take action. Finally, he took action although his feet still felt a little numb. Fortunately, he could rely on the car door. He really wanted to sort things out with Daisy who looked disturbed.

Edward laughed at himself and thought, 'Edward, because of Daisy, you have experienced thousands of the first times; you swallow your pride; you value her tears; you drop your attitude; you get frantic; you feel heartache; you begin to step forward first; you love; you hate, and you enjoy every bit of it.'

"You told me to stay put on the phone." Daisy murmured with an innocent look on her face. She was scared to make eye contact with Edward's keen eyes, so she just played with a little rock on the ground with the tip of her shoe. Daisy had no idea why she was afraid of him. Although she was a Colonel and she was supposed to be fearless, she followed his orders and fulfilled them. Perhaps it was because she had loved him intensely, wasn't it?

"Pff! Daisy, are you sure you didn't play a game of badgering to attain your military title? I can't believe that you would follow such a stupid order. I've never seen you behave so deferentially as you do today." Edward said and smiled, which was the first relaxed smile on his face since he came here. All his complaints and distrust had vanished because of her silly words. It also reminded him why he had desperately fallen in love with such a cold and stubborn woman. He was fascinated with the naive look on Daisy's face.
