It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 168

"Haha! Really? You missed me that much?" Leena was surprised at the little boy's smartness. He surely knew what to say when needed.

"Yes, I did! Auntie Leena, you look stunning today. Haven't you noticed that?" Justin sighed in his mind. He had to flatter Leena for his own sake.

"Hmm! Too little too late! I'm not buying it at all." Leena smirked and walked straight into the house. She completely ignored Justin.

"Wait up, auntie Leena! I really mean it!" Justin immediately broke free from his parent's embrace and followed Leena into the house. To save himself from becoming Leena's lifesize doll, he had to change her mind.

Edward and Daisy looked at each other and burst into laughter. With a doting smile, they saw Leena and Justin disappear behind the front door.

"Honey, what happened to your car?" Edward finally noticed the VW POLO parked next to his fancy car.

"This is my car. What's wrong?" Puzzled, Daisy looked at her car and turned back to Edward, wondering why Edward asked the same question as Leena did earlier.

"Is that the car you usually drive around?" Edward's lips twitched. He compared the worth of both cars. He imagined how difficult her life must have been before he came by. He felt sorry for everything she had been through all these years. Saying nothing, Edward just pulled Daisy into his arms and held her as firmly as he could.

"Edward, what on earth are you doing right now?" Daisy tried to push him away. They were standing outside the villa, and Daisy felt embarrassed that people could see them cuddling like this.

"Hold still. I just want to hug you." Pressing his face against her neck, Edward closed his eyes and avariciously sniffed the faint scent of jasmine oozing from her body. That was truly a love potion for him.

Was she busy making ends meet when he drove around in his expensive cars and had fancy champagne at parties? Was she taking care of their son alone when he indulged himself in nightclubs? And when he slept with other women, what was she doing? Did she miss him? Even for once? Thinking of what a jerk he had been, Edward tightened his grip. He tried to suppress the urge of crying out loud.

He knew he wasn't there for her when she needed him the most, but he decided he would make it up to her. He would stand by her for the rest of his life. He would make her the happiest woman in the world. He wouldn't allow anyone or anything to hurt her again. He believed that they would build a bright future together.

"Honey, is everything okay? Did something happen at the office?" Daisy called him 'Honey' only when he seemed depressed. She wanted him to know that he wasn't alone and she would always be there for him.

"Nothing dear. Don't worry. I've just missed you so much." Edward muttered while holding Daisy firmly. He had no intention of letting her go.

Daisy didn't ask any more questions. She simply wrapped her arms around his waist and leaned against him. She knew that something was wrong. But she wouldn't ask if he didn't want to talk about it. She promised him that she would love him and trust him over anyone. She would wait patiently till he was ready to share and she wouldn't blame him if he didn't.

"Yo! Edward, Daisy. What is going on here? You guys look so sweet and lovable." Rain casually leaned against the half-open door of his car and played with the shades in his hand. Looking at Edward and Daisy hugging, he couldn't help but interrupt them with a teasing smile.

"What are you doing here?" Recognizing his voice, Edward frowned. However, he couldn't care less what Rain just said as long as Daisy was in his arms. Edward didn't even look at Rain. He gently tucked Daisy's hair behind her ears and gazed at the glowing pink shade on her cheeks.

However, Daisy was shocked at how careless she had been. Despite being a military officer, she didn't even notice when Rain approached them. She had been indulging in the happy domestic life too much lately, which was not good for the upcoming military exercise.

"I come to join the party. I heard that Leena is here?" Rain didn't mind that Edward's eyes were fixed on Daisy. He flung the door close and replied, his sapphire ear studs gleaming in the sunset. The studs in his ears and the look on his face both were too fascinating for people to look away.

"How do you know Leena's here?" Edward tilted his head and asked curiously. He hadn't told anyone that Leena was staying in their house. How did Rain find out about that?

"I know more than this. Just wait and watch! There are more surprises on the way." Rain waved at them casually and then stepped into the villa. He had no interest in watching them hug and kiss.

Confused, Daisy looked at Edward, who slightly shook his head. He didn't have the slightest idea about what Rain was up to. Suddenly a Spyker C8 stopped in their driveway abruptly. It wasn't until then that they started to understand what Rain had meant. It was indeed another surprise! 'What day is it today? Why are these people gathering at my house?' Edward desperately cried out in his mind.

"Belinda! Why didn't you tell me you're coming over?" As soon as Daisy saw Belinda and Duke get out of the car, she darted towards Belinda and held her hands excitedly. But then Daisy remembered the fact that Belinda didn't even tell her about her wedding. She was still holding a grudge against Belinda. She shook off Belinda's hands with a sullen face and walked inside without looking at her again.

"Daisy, please wait up! I can explain everything!" Seeing the look on Daisy's face, Belinda knew that Daisy was still mad at her. She knew it was her fault as she didn't tell her best friend about her wedding. Belinda followed Daisy into the house.

"What was that about?" Duke was confused. One minute they were happy to see each other, and the next minute they were mad?

"Girl stuff, I guess. Speaking of which, I am truly impressed, dude! What did you do to win over Belinda?" Edward knew Daisy must be upset because her best friend had been keeping secrets from her.

"What did I do? I'm too charming to do anything." Duke raised his eyebrows and answered arrogantly. He was not stupid. How could he tell others what really happened between him and Belinda? After all, pride mattered more than anything to men.
