It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 1761

"You're so cunning!" Edward exclaimed. It seemed that his plan to look for an ally was not very smooth.

"As the saying goes, like father, like son. You must be very proud to have a son like me," said Justin with a proud smile. He was now standing 150 cm tall. His face had well-defined angles that highlighted his best features, his forehead, cheeks, and jawline.

"You may leave now." Edward rolled his eyes at the boy and gave up the attempt to make Justin his ally.

"No, I'm not leaving. You must tell me why you asked me that question," Justin said while looking at Edward. His father had already stirred his curiosity, thus, he decided not to leave without knowing the truth.

"Well, the reason is simple. Your mommy might be pregnant." Edward didn't plan to keep it a secret, so he told Justin honestly.

"Really? Wow, I'll have a sister or a brother." Thrilled about the news, Justin couldn't help but jump in excitement.

"Why are you so excited?" Honestly, Edward could have done the same as Justin upon hearing the news earlier. However, Daisy's reaction frustrated him as she seemed very unhappy about it.

"Why? Aren't you happy about it?" asked Justin in confusion.

"Your mommy seemed very angry this morning." Edward sighed with obvious resignation. He was so used to talking with Justin like he was already an adult. Justin was much more clever than kids of his age after all.

"Daddy, did you do something behind mommy's back?" Justin's jaw dropped. He knew that his father would get in trouble if his mother got angry with him.

"I didn't! I told her before that I want to have another baby with her." Edward felt that he was wronged. He had been telling her about this for several months now but she hadn't given much thought to it. Now she believed that he had done something without informing her.

"But she didn't say yes back then, did she? Daddy, you're screwed!" Justin chuckled at Edward's uneasiness. He could just guess how Daisy would deal with his father this time.

"Come on. Help me figure out a way to make her happy." The reason why Edward chose to tell everything to his son was that he wanted Justin to help him find a way to cool Daisy's head down. However, he really didn't expect his son's sarcastic remark just about everything.

"Well, to be honest, I am willing to help. It is just that I can't. Have you tried praying to God? Maybe you should try that and pray for mommy to forgive you," Justin said with a shrug and went upstairs, leaving Edward alone.

A huge sigh escaped Edward's chest as he watched Justin's retreating figure. He never spoke again, rather, he just silently walked upstairs and got to the bathroom for a quick bath. He had no appetite for supper at all.

Meanwhile, Daisy was engaged in military exercise. As a commander, she didn't need to participate in the combat. What she needed to do was just to issue orders to the soldiers. A commander was an important part of a battle; it was their capability that usually caused a troop to win.

Although it was just a military exercise, everyone devoted themselves to it because no one wanted to lose. The soldiers were divided into two parties, the Blue Army and the Red Army.

"Senior Colonel Ouyang, who do you think will win the battle, the Blue Army or the Red Army?" Mark asked while waiting for Daisy's answer. He was always with her since he was her guard.

"It's hard to tell right now." Daisy put her telescope down. She was in a low spirit as she was still angry with Edward.

"By the way, I didn't see Major General Gu in the Operational Zone," said Mark. He actually believed that what he said was an important piece of news.

"What? He's not in the Operational Zone?" Daisy raised her telescope again and began to look for Kevin in the battleground.

"No, he isn't. I just came back from their place." Mark had almost been caught by Lee. However, he was lucky enough to escape.

"It seems that someone is cheating." Daisy curled her lips as excitement filled her face.
