It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 142

Daisy had been busy all morning writing out the exercise programs, training, and investigating the field -- all urgent. She got some water and breathed a sigh of relief, happy to take a break.

She was about to sit down to do more work when her phone rang. She picked it up, without checking the caller's ID.

"Hello, Daisy speaking." She thought it polite to identify herself first when on the phone.

"Honey, did you skip breakfast again?" Edward frowned and asked.

"Hi Edward. I haven't eaten yet. Is something wrong?" Daisy wondered why he called her at this hour.

"Why not? Have you checked the time?" 'The woman has no idea how to take care of herself. She often misses meals. How busy can she be?'

"I have been too busy to eat." Mark was organizing the equipment for the war game, so nobody brought her food.

"You make it seem like you're even busier than I am." Resigned to the situation, Edward sighed. He couldn't help thinking of her at every meal. What was she doing? Had she eaten a decent meal? He was no longer the carefree playboy.

"Do you mean you have too much time?" she asked. Daisy liked to tease him, but she knew her time in the army wasn't all war games, assessments, or field tasks. She might be busy one day, and just doing meaningless work the next. It's how the military worked.

"Of course not, but at least I still have time to eat." He had always taken meals seriously. Work was endless. After one meal it would be still there.

"That's why you have time to call me on the phone and talk nonsense. I'm too busy right now." Daisy could be clueless sometimes and said something hurtful like that.

"Daisy, do you really think I have nothing better to do than talk to you on the phone?" Work was piling up. He put it all aside and called her because he cared. She didn't seem to understand that. He felt like a fool.

"Um, honey, that's not what I meant." She put the file down and started trying to coax him into a good mood. He was about to explode in rage, and she didn't mean to make him angry.

"Calling me honey won't work this time." He was really angry. She never called him first, and she seemed annoyed when he called her.
