It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 1146

"It's personal. I don't think I owe you an explanation, Miss Ye. You understand, of course." Edward smiled disapprovingly. She was just the daughter of the commander, after all. He didn't have to take orders from her. Edward was a civilian. He didn't give a damn who she was.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to pry. If you don't feel like talking about it, that's okay." Louisa had concocted her own little story about the relationship. She figured that Leena was Edward's half-sister. Maybe they shared the same father. It happened a lot in rich families. Rich men always cheated on their wives. It was like a biological imperative or something.

"Now give Miss Ye the laptop, please. I need to get back to work. Busy day and all that." Daisy wanted to hide the unpleasant matter from the commander. So she had pretended she needed to borrow Louisa for a few minutes so that Louisa could leave the commander's office and he wouldn't suspect a thing. The truth would humiliate him. He'd see how his daughter behaved and would probably punish her. This way, he never had to know.

"Oh, the computer is for Miss Ye. I didn't know that." Edward hesitated to hand over the laptop. He worried that someone might start a rumor saying that Daisy bribed the commander's daughter. She'd already been the target of rumors and suffered for it. She didn't need any more trouble. That kind of thing had happened before. This time, he had to think everything over to stop it from happening again.

"It's a replacement, not a gift." Daisy didn't want to talk about it in front of Louisa. As an intelligent man, Edward could tell Daisy's thoughts from the expression on her face. He didn't ask any more questions about it. He just bent down, grabbed the box the computer was in, and handed it to Louisa. He didn't know why Daisy had to replace Louisa's computer, but since Daisy didn't want to discuss anything, he didn't have to know right now.

That didn't stop Louisa from being embarrassed. However, it had gone so far that a new computer was her only choice. Her face turned crimson.

"Miss Ye, now that you have the computer, we're even. If there's a problem with it, it's under warranty. The company should help you. Their number's in the manual." Daisy looked at Louisa, feeling bad for her superior. The commander had a daughter who was such a snob. A thing like that could threaten his career.

"Wait a minute, honey. I thought the computer was for you. I asked Luke to bring it to me directly, and he never paid. But now that I know who it's for..." He paused, giving Daisy a meaningful glance. "I'll have them send the receipt." Edward looked at Daisy apologetically. She should have told him whom the laptop was for so that he could have taken care of everything.

"That's okay. Forget it. Since it is brand-new, I don't think there will be a problem," Louisa said to Edward in a fawning tone. But she was barking up the wrong tree. If she sucked up to Daisy, then things might go better for her. Daisy might go out of her way to make Louisa happy, and Edward would do anything for Daisy.

"No, that's not okay. I'll give you the invoice later," Daisy said to Louisa. Then she turned to Edward and said, "Honey, thanks so much for bringing this over. I know you need to get back. See you tonight." Daisy rarely called Edward honey, but she called him that when she figured out Louisa would try something. She really had no shame!

"Okay, see you tonight, my love." Edward never gave a hoot about manners. He did whatever he wanted. So he treated Louisa like she were invisible. After kissing Daisy's lips gently, he got in the car.

"Senior Colonel Ouyang, why didn't you tell me Mr. Mu was your husband?" Louisa asked as soon as Edward left, filled with jealousy.
