It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 1576

"What should I do with my time then? How about taking me out to dinner with you?" Daisy teased, smiling broadly. She had developed beyond the aloof military officer and could now relax with the people she cared about.

"No. Leena and I are going out on a date." Edward raised his head, acting proud and offended.

"Daisy, I'd rather go out on a date with you. Let's go and leave him behind." Leena winked at Daisy and hugged her dear friend. She pulled a face at Edward and stuck out her tongue.

"Yeah, sure, why not?" Daisy pinched Leena's chubby cheek softly, and cast a challenging glance at Edward.

"Never mind! Women are way too fickle to ever understand. Alright, my two beloved princesses, where would you like to eat? It's my treat," Edward said feigning a hurt expression as he raised his wallet.

"Leena, where would you like to go for dinner? You're pregnant, so you decide." Daisy asked Leena to select a restaurant. When Daisy had received the news of Leena's pregnancy, she had breathed a long sigh of relief. She immediately called Leena up to relate her joy and her own experiences with pregnancy.

"Uh... Anywhere is fine with me. You don't have to specially cater for me." Leena thought, 'They are all overreacting, and they are even more nervous than me.'

"Let's go to the Westin. I'll ask them to prepare some delicious soup for Leena," Edward suggested seeing the two women's indecisiveness.

"Sure. Leena, let's go there." Daisy held Leena's hand and they walked slowly towards the elevator. She was a caring maternal figure.

The three entered the elevator, joking and chatting at ease. When the elevator stopped at the first floor, an unexpected figure was waiting for them outside — Rain. He was leaning against a pillar in the lobby, hands resting in his pockets. His face still bore the ever present cynical scowl.

"Rain, what are you doing here?" Leena asked in surprise, walking up to Rain.

"I was waiting for you." Rain reached out and embraced Leena with genuine warmth. He had also heard the news and was extremely happy for her.

"How did you know we were going out?" Edward asked with a frown. This time, he was not as sharp witted as normal.

"I saw Mark in the lobby, and the elevator was going down. No one could have been using it, except you," Rain explained with a shrug. It was such simple reasoning that he was amazed at Edward for not putting two and two together. He could not believe that Edward was so slow this time.

"Fine! Hats off, you are the smart one!" Edward conceded through gritted teeth. Although Rain didn't say anything to ridicule him, Edward could feel his momentary contempt.

"Thank you." Rain flashed a cunning smile. It was the first time that he had outwitted Edward, and he relished the moment.

"Rain, why don't you have dinner with us?" Sensing the increasingly tense atmosphere, Leena butted in to defuse the situation.

"Why not? Edward, you're paying, right?" Rain as always acted indifferently and noncommittally, like he was not interested in anything.

Daisy was secretly glad to see her husband being beaten by Rain. She tried hard to conceal her true feelings, but the raised corner of her smile betrayed her.

"You are so happy to see me fall short, aren't you?" Edward whispered in Daisy's ear.

"No, I'm not. Come on! Don't read into things that aren't there." Daisy was a clever woman. She would never admit to taking pleasure at her husband's embarrassment.

"Mrs. Gu." As they walked outside, Mark, who was waiting outside the building, stepped from his car and greeted Leena respectfully.

"Hi, Mark. I didn't know you were here!" Leena was surprised at seeing Mark, as she thought Daisy had driven herself there.

"Hey, Mark! You saw me when I arrived here earlier, right? Why didn't you bother to greet me?" Rain asked with a teasing smile. He was right; Mark had seen Rain earlier when he had arrived at the building, however, he had made no move to greet Rain.

"Because Mrs. Gu is different. She is Major General Gu's wife. I should greet her to show my respect to her," Mark explained very seriously. The soldiers were always respectful to military spouses.
