It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 168

"Haha! Really? You missed me that much?" Leena was surprised at the little boy's smartness. He surely knew what to say when needed.

"Yes, I did! Auntie Leena, you look stunning today. Haven't you noticed that?" Justin sighed in his mind. He had to flatter Leena for his own sake.

"Hmm! Too little too late! I'm not buying it at all." Leena smirked and walked straight into the house. She completely ignored Justin.

"Wait up, auntie Leena! I really mean it!" Justin immediately broke free from his parent's embrace and followed Leena into the house. To save himself from becoming Leena's lifesize doll, he had to change her mind.

Edward and Daisy looked at each other and burst into laughter. With a doting smile, they saw Leena and Justin disappear behind the front door.

"Honey, what happened to your car?" Edward finally noticed the VW POLO parked next to his fancy car.

"This is my car. What's wrong?" Puzzled, Daisy looked at her car and turned back to Edward, wondering why Edward asked the same question as Leena did earlier.

"Is that the car you usually drive around?" Edward's lips twitched. He compared the worth of both cars. He imagined how difficult her life must have been before he came by. He felt sorry for everything she had been through all these years. Saying nothing, Edward just pulled Daisy into his arms and held her as firmly as he could.

"Edward, what on earth are you doing right now?" Daisy tried to push him away. They were standing outside the villa, and Daisy felt embarrassed that people could see them cuddling like this.

"Hold still. I just want to hug you." Pressing his face against her neck, Edward closed his eyes and avariciously sniffed the faint scent of jasmine oozing from her body. That was truly a love potion for him.

Was she busy making ends meet when he drove around in his expensive cars and had fancy champagne at parties? Was she taking care of their son alone when he indulged himself in nightclubs? And when he slept with other women, what was she doing? Did she miss him? Even for once? Thinking of what a jerk he had been, Edward tightened his grip. He tried to suppress the urge of crying out loud.

He knew he wasn't there for her when she needed him the most, but he decided he would make it up to her. He would stand by her for the rest of his life. He would make her the happiest woman in the world. He wouldn't allow anyone or anything to hurt her again. He believed that they would build a bright future together.

"Honey, is everything okay? Did something happen at the office?" Daisy called him 'Honey' only when he seemed depressed. She wanted him to know that he wasn't alone and she would always be there for him.
