It'll Come Naturally

Chapter 369 The Romantic Date

"Fine. Let's not talk about the baby. But please meet me. I have to discuss something important with you, "

Jessica implored while biting her lower lip. She had never been so humble in her life. She knew that this was her last chance. If she missed it, she would be in a more embarrassing situation, so she discarded her usual haughty attitude and pretended not to feel her aching heart. Besides, when it came to Edward, her pride always got undermined.

"We can talk on the phone. You have five minutes." Edward raised his voice a bit. Daisy, who had been sleeping in the passenger's seat, was awakened by his voice.

"Have we arrived? Oh, you are on the phone." Daisy sluggishly looked at Edward with droopy eyes. She looked innocent, adorable and feminine.

"Not yet. Go back to sleep. It's not an important call. Did I wake you?" Edward said gently, totally ignoring the person on the other end of the phone.

Hearing what Edward had said to Daisy, Jessica's expression changed unwittingly. She knew that he was with Daisy in his car. She remembered that he used to talk to her in that gentle tone back then. She used to stay in his arms like a spoiled child. There was a time when she was the happy woman sitting in the passenger's seat next to Edward. But now, she was nothing to him.

Bygones were bygones. Jessica was just a meaningless fling to Edward. She closed her eyes in grief and listened to him affectionately talking to another woman. Her heart was bleeding.

She hung up the phone in silence, tears streaming down her pretty cheeks. Right now, there was only one person in Edward's heart -Daisy. Jessica was in no place to talk. Whether what she had heard was an act or not, she had lost her last bit of confidence.

Jessica sat on the chair helplessly. Her youth, her love, and her upper-class lifestyle had all gone, for nothing. Her years of love and obsession for Edward eventually lost to Daisy.

She sneered. She used to think that she was special to him, that was why she never believed it when people used to say that the CEO of FX International Group was insensitive and ruthless. But now, seeing how he treated Daisy, she realized that it was true. He could be so cold and cruel to the people he didn't care about while doting on the woman he loved. He had never treated anybody the way he had treated Daisy. Hard to believe. But since Jessica had seen it so many times, she had to accept the fact that Edward was really in love with Daisy. He wasn't seeking a fling in Daisy.

Edward heard the beep on the phone. He made a sinister smile and thought, 'Good. Jessica, you should realize your worth. Don't blame me for being cruel. You shouldn't have fought a hopeless battle. You broke the rules of the game, and now you are reaping the bitter fruits of your mistakes. In love, I'm neither a philanthropist nor a monopolizer. I'm just a man trying to be faithful to the woman I love.'

"Aren't we going home?" Daisy asked, while withdrawing her eyes from the view outside the car window. Edward smiled mischievously. Daisy looked at him with her head tilted and thought he might be considering something naughty, which was typical of him.

"We'll eat out tonight. Let's go on a romantic date, like other couples." Edward turned to Daisy and gave her a warm smile. Justin was growing up, but they had never been on a date. It was a pity and Edward blamed himself for it. He resolved to make up for it in the future.

"Are we? I was thinking about making dinner for your parents. I was too busy to do it before, but now that I have time I feel awful for not doing it."

Daisy frowned. She was longing to be alone with Edward, but as a daughter-in-law, she felt obliged to spend time with Edward's parents. Moreover, she hoped she could help Edward to get along with his

parents. In her opinion, their biggest problem was lack of communication and interaction. If they could spend more time together, they would have a better relationship. Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

"Don't worry. They will understand." Edward sneered. Since he thought Jonathan didn't like Edward, he never cared for family courtesy and gave no importance to such formalities in his carefree life. So Edward was sure that his parents wouldn't mind if he and Daisy went out to spend a romantic evening alone.

They went to a Western restaurant, the decor of which was unique. Edward pulled his Maybach, into the parking lot and then they went in. The food and atmosphere of the restaurant were excellent. It was an ideal place for lovers. Edward had been there a couple of times, for business. This was his first date here.

Edward and Daisy intimately walked inside arm-in-arm. Wherever Edward went, he was the center of women's attention. But today, not only women but also men were attracted. Men marveled at Daisy, the perfect creature of elegance and aloofness, whom they could just admire from afar.

"Let's sit here." Daisy picked a window seat. She preferred seats with a wide view, from where she could clearly see everything. Maybe it was because of her profession.

"OK. As you say, honey." Edward usually made decisions as per his will. But he didn't mind sitting anywhere as long as Daisy liked it.

Daisy still wasn't used to hearing his sweet words. She blushed. She got nervous, every time she heard those words, especially when they were in public.

"Why are you blushing? Are you thinking about something naughty?" Edward whispered into her ear while he was pulling out the chair for her. His moist warm breath caressed her ear. Her cheeks became rosier and prettier, softening her aloofness.

"I'm not as shameless as you are." Daisy rolled her eyes at him and sat down gracefully. Although the majority of her co-workers were men, she was born with elegance, which was embodied in her every move.

"You know I can't do shameless things by myself. You must be with me." Edward sat opposite Daisy, wearing a teasing smile.

"You are getting worse by the day. Your mind is filled with filth. What do you use it for, I wonder?"

Daisy tried to pull herself together. If Edward noticed her uneasiness because of his tease, he would enjoy it and ridicule her all tonight. Darn! Being in a relationship with such an evil guy was exhausting. You had to be very careful with his tricks all the time.

"Honey, be reasonable. You were naughty first. I just disclosed what you were thinking. How come I am getting blamed?"

Edward pretended to be wronged. He acted innocent, but actually, his head was filled with dirty ideas. No one could win over him in shamelessness. More lewd remarks might come out of his mouth. So to shut him up, Daisy had to acquiesce to his words, although they were just nonsense.

"I would be a fool if I continued to argue with you over this." Daisy drank a mouthful of water from the glass on the table. She was in no mood to carry this topic forward because she knew she would be at a disadvantage.

"OK. Let's order a set meal for a couple." Edward knew well what she was capable of. Once the tiger was awakened in public, his reputation would be ruined. So he dropped the topic immediately.

"A set meal for a couple? Count me in," a vigorous voice said. It was Brian. He smiled mischievously at Daisy and Edward, his glance shifting back and forth from one to the other. He just came in to grab a bite and hadn't expected to bump into them. His luck had been good lately. What a beautiful life!
