It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 124

"Mrs. Mu, good morning. Mr. Mu asked me to send you to work." Luke greeted Daisy as soon as he saw her walk out. Mrs. Mu looked sharp in uniforms. Luke thought.

"Good morning. Sorry for troubling you." Daisy nodded and said to Luke. She didn't refuse to go with him because he had been to the military base before. Besides, Luke was an experienced driver, that could save her a lot of time.

"It's my duty, Mrs. Mu." Luke ran to open the car door for Daisy, exhibiting great respect for her.

"Thanks," Daisy said to him gently. She bent down and got into the car.

As there were no traffic jam in the morning, The car moved quite fast. Soon they were out of downtown and near the suburb.

The morning in the suburb was filled up with the chirping of all kinds of birds and insects. Daisy pulled down the window and enjoyed the gentle breeze blowing over her face. She had been thinking about Edward's strange behavior yesterday. Since he didn't bring it up, she had to let it pass. Maybe it was because she wasn't the women he loved deeply in his heart. Therefore he didn't want to talk about it with her. Daisy thought.

"Luke, did anything happen to Mr. Mu yesterday? He acted rather strangely yesterday." asked Daisy in a calm voice. Luke was focusing on driving the car. But Daisy couldn't help speaking out what was on her mind. Her question made Luke hesitate for a bit.

"You mean yesterday? No, nothing special happened yesterday. He has kept a patient profile lately. So I don't think anything would bother him." Luke replied. He tilted his head and thought for a while. He remembered that Mr. Mu was in the office all day long yesterday. He didn't go out to meet any clients. Only Jessica came by yesterday.

Thinking of Jessica, Luke turned his head to take a quick look at Daisy. It seemed that Daisy had been looking outside and didn't notice his nervousness. Did Jessica cause Edward's strange behavior yesterday? Luke thought.

"Oh! Nothing? Okay. I thought that you are with him every day, so you would know if anything happened." Daisy said. She was still looking blankly at the scenery outside.

"Mrs. Mu, have you noticed anything about Mr. Mu?" Luke asked. Her look in the uniform made him feel very nervous.

"Nothing, so that's why I'm asking you. Let's drop it. Luke, have you been with Mr. Mu for a long time?" Daisy shifted her focus from outside and gazed at Luke.

"Yes, I have been with him since I was very young. Although he looks like a playboy, he is actually very lonely." Luke explained on Edward's behalf while driving the car attentively.

"Oh!" Really? I didn't know this side of him. You seem to know him very well." In Daisy's eyes, Edward lived a carefree life. And his charming smile had mesmerized lots of women. She felt that she was only a passer-by to him. She saw just his fun side. But his loneliness was an unexplored part to her.

"Really? Not quite. Mr. Mu's heart is a land I have never ventured. Most of the time, I'm just watching him in silence on the margin." Luke sneered with a hint of self-mockery. There was a trace of sadness on his cool face.

Daisy didn't utter a word because she didn't know what to say. Right then they arrived at the military base.
