It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 1626

"It's not business. His birthday is in two days. He wants us to have dinner with him." Edward wanted to know her answer. Given her coldness toward Leo in the first place, he wasn't expecting much.

"Yeah, okay. You and Justin can go." Although she still hated Leo, she would not stop Justin and Edward from having dinner with the man.

"He wants to see you. By the way, Brian will be there too," Edward said casually. He had done his best, and he could do nothing if Daisy still refused to go.

"That was all he wanted? Nothing else?" Daisy snorted. 'Now he regrets what he did, huh? It's already too late, ' she thought.

"I got him an appointment with Tom. He wasn't feeling good." It was not until now that Edward remembered that.

"Ha-ha! That old faker!" Daisy taunted. Disdain was written all over her face.

"Daisy, I think he was serious." Edward turned to look at Daisy, as if he didn't know this woman. She was always thoughtful and considerate of others. Most times, even sympathetic. Why was she so mean to Leo?

"Leave me alone! You don't know anything about it! My mom and I went through hell because of him," Daisy snapped back. She was a little annoyed by Edward's nagging.

"What do you mean, I don't know?" Edward asked coldly. He was a proud man, and he couldn't bear to be accused by his wife like that.

"Sorry. I lost it there. Please don't take it too hard." Daisy sincerely apologized. Leo wasn't worth her starting an argument with Edward.

"You think I can pretend nothing happened?" Edward tried his best to hold back his anger. He had waited two hours for Daisy, but hadn't expected that they would start arguing over something stupid.

"Fine! Mea culpa. I overreacted." Daisy was really frustrated now. She had thought she could pretend that Leo was not there and live her life without him. But the truth was he was still very much a part of her life and she just couldn't move on.

"You know, I don't need your apology." Edward's voice softened. No matter how angry he was, his anger would fade when he saw her frustration.

"You know, this kind of crap's getting old. Like us." 'We are so familiar. I know you like the back of my hand. I can get your point just with a look, ' she thought to herself.

"What do you mean by that?" Edward cried. The car screeched to a halt with grinding brakes as Edward pulled over.

"What the hell? You scared me half to death!" Daisy glared at Edward with burning, reproachful eyes. Luckily, the road between the army base and the city was empty. Otherwise, they might have had an accident. Daisy started to shake.

"Answer me! What do you mean?" Edward looked Daisy in the eye.

"Don't get me wrong. I was just wondering... maybe we've grown old. And there's no passion there anymore." Daisy sighed with profound resignation. She was unwilling to face Leo. She was like an ostrich who thought running away from reality would solve the problem. So she created a different one.

"Ah, I get it. You're right. We're an old married couple now." Edward knew Daisy was trying to sidetrack him. But since she felt there was no passion between them, it meant that there was something wrong with their relationship. Problems don't pop up in a relationship thanks to just one person. Sometimes, it does get old. The same patterns, once thought of as adorable, are now annoying. It saps the life out of a relationship.

"I thought you'd be more pissed off." Daisy looked at Edward in disbelief.

"Why? It's true," Edward said honestly. Since there was a problem, he would find a way to solve it.

"Let's go. It's late." Daisy didn't know how to respond, so she changed the subject. It was not because she was unhappy, really. It was just she hadn't been on any missions recently, and felt quite bored.
