It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 1742

As soon as she disappeared behind the bathroom door, Rain got lost in his thoughts again. He was considering how he should deal with this thing with Tiana. He really wanted to help her get through this problem. If her crazy old mother, Sheena found out where she was, she would surely be taken back and be forced to marry that old man. He just had to do something to stop it. Tiana shouldn't have to be used as the sacrificial lamb and marry the old man for the sake of her family! Rain wouldn't let this happen to her. He didn't know why he was so keen on helping Tiana, but his gut told him that it was the right thing to do.

In the evening, Rain gave Edward a call, asking him for a favor.

"What's the matter?" Edward picked up the call and walked out on the balcony. Daisy just got out of the shower and was blowing her hair so it was a bit noisy in the room. He stepped out so that he could hear Rain better.

"Yeah. Can you do me a favor? Can you talk to your father and ask him to check if Tiana is really Sheena's biological daughter? I have a feeling that she might have been adopted." The more Rain thought about this, the more Rain believed that there was a big possibility of Tiana being an adopted child. He didn't think that it was possible for a mother to do such a vile thing to her own daughter. Besides, he never thought that Sheena really cared about the young Tiana. Her motherly love always seemed a bit fake to him.

"Are you serious? Why? What's going on?" Rain's words piqued Edward's interest. He also wondered, since when did Rain start to care about anyone from the Ke family. Why did Rain care about Tiana so much? He just couldn't make sense of it.

"Yes, I am serious. Today, in front of the company, I heard Sheena talking. She used a wrong word that made me suspicious about it. She must have slipped unintentionally," Rain answered in a serious tone. If Tiana was indeed not Sheena's real daughter, then so many things would make sense. He really hoped that Edward's father could help him find the truth about it.

"Okay. I will ask my father for you." Edward had heard that Tiana, unlike the rest of her family, was indeed very nice to Rain. That was the reason why he decided to help her. Besides, he was also curious to know the truth himself.

"Thank you. But please make it quick. And don't forget about the evidence for the car accident," Rain reminded Edward again. He had a feeling that something big was about to be revealed, and he couldn't help but feel excited about it.

"All right, all right! Stop rushing me! Both of these things will take time," Edward said in an annoyed tone and rolled his eyes at Rain's excitement. 'Give me a break, will you?' he couldn't help but think to himself. He himself also had a lot of things to do.

"Okay. Then I won't disturb you anymore. You can go back to your thing. Thank you and bye!" Rain teased with a knowing grin on his face. He thought that Edward was this agitated and impatient because he had interrupted him in the middle of something important. Maybe he interrupted him and Daisy? No wonder he was this annoyed.

"Senior Colonel Ouyang, are you afraid? Afraid to have even a little guess?" Edward stopped in his tracks and asked her in a fake mocking tone. He was trying to irk Daisy with the words she disliked the most. He knew that Daisy would fall for his trick and turn back to argue with him.

"Yes, you are right. I am indeed afraid," Daisy answered him in a light tone. Much to Edward's surprise, she bluntly admitted it without any struggle, and it astonished him, suddenly not knowing what to say or do next. In Daisy's mind, it was not a big deal to admit this to her husband from time to time, if this would make him shut up. She didn't have to win the argument all the time. In fact, even if it appeared that she lost but she got what she wanted, then she was the one who would have won.

"Umm..." Edward was at a loss for words all of a sudden. Never had he thought that Daisy would bluntly admit to him that yes, she was indeed afraid. It was not like her to admit fear and defeat without even putting up a good fight.

Seeing his reaction, the corners of Daisy's lips curled into a smug smile. She had made him tongue tied, not knowing what to say. She had stunned him! It was rare and this made Daisy very proud of herself. Well, it seemed that sometimes, one didn't have to always struggle to get the upper hand and win. Sometimes, maybe just admitting defeat would turn out to be surprising results.

But on the other hand, Edward wouldn't be himself if he just completely gave up that easily. He was stunned for a minute but he regained his thoughts and quickly grabbed Daisy right before she was about to walk out of the door. He gently pulled her towards him, and Daisy, who was not prepared for his sudden moves, fell into his tight arms with a startled look on her face. So she did not win after all.
