It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 1449

"Senior Colonel Ouyang, if I didn't know well enough, I would believe that you are picking a fight with me now. Am I right?" Edward said coldly. Daisy should not forget that Kevin used to be Edward's rival in love. Now, if she kept favoring and defending Kevin all the time, it would only awaken Edward's already forgotten insecurities. How could he remain cool now?

"I'm not quarreling with you, I am only trying to get through to you with reason." Daisy frowned. She knew that she made him angry again. But she really didn't want to listen to him every time they had different opinions. She was firm on her stand this time and her sullen face made the atmosphere more tense.

"But you just made me feel that way, and you are very aggressive now." Edward stepped on the gas pedal of the car and sped up as anger rose in him. The car went so fast that Daisy felt gravity pin her to her seat. Meanwhile, Edward's hands which held the steering wheel tightened their grip. Obviously he was enraged.

"I don't think I am the one who's being aggressive. Moreover, don't you think the word 'aggressive' is bit too much?" Although Daisy already felt the anger that was about to burst in him, she continued to challenge him. She was sure that no matter how vexed he was, he would not pour out his fury on her. She found that the biggest change in him after she came back to him was that he had learned to control his temper, especially with her. No matter how mad he got, he would choose to suppress it and dare not act on it or do anything that would hurt her. Daisy had prepared for the worst - him pouncing on her and pouring out all his frustrations on her in bed.

"I found that you liked badgering me more recently," Edward said through gritted teeth. Like Daisy had thought, he was indeed pissed off, but he could only hide it in his heart and do nothing to her. It seemed that she got to know him more thoroughly, and that was why she felt reassured and emboldened that she wouldn't end up with a black eye. It was actually his own fault, as he lavishly tolerated her. So even at his tipping point where his level of fury was at its highest, he could do nothing but try his utmost to take it somewhere else, usually on his staff or sometimes on his own brothers. Anyway it was his own doing and he had to suffer it.

"You are the one who started all this. You are a grown man, so stop being so mercurial just like a child. You know what you are like now? You easily show your teeth at the slightest provocation." Daisy snapped and stared at him. He was the CEO of a well respected international group of companies. Was it too much for him to bear? He lost his temper so easily these days.

"It is all because you can trigger me more easily than others. Your opinion matters, that's why. If it was someone else, do you think that I would even blink my eyes?" Edward cooled down with that mock from Daisy. He could always regain his composure quickly after any setback. Just like now, he came around easily after being pissed off, not as irritated as he was just a few minutes ago. Very few couples could manage a fight like that inside a car.

"I know that you are just being sensible." Seeing him change his attitude, Daisy stopped nagging. Fortunately, she also knew when to stop and not give her husband any more stress. Sure, she wouldn't bear the brunt but some poor employee might, so she just sat back and remained silent. The most important thing between a husband and wife was to know when and where one should stop, otherwise more was lost than gained. The temporary victory in verbal arguments would not guarantee that one would always prevail and dominate in a marriage.

"Is there any reward for me, then?" Edward asked with a mischievous smile. He was asking for more than what he thought he deserved.
