It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 1773

"Alright then," Daisy sighed. "I'll find out eventually. Dismissed." Daisy turned on her heel. She had planned to keep the news from the commander for a while, but it now seemed impossible.

"See you," Kevin replied. "It's probably nothing serious," he comforted her, trying to stay positive. 'If she didn't let the commander know, then who told him?' he thought secretly.

"I hope so. See you soon," Daisy said, walking powerfully yet numbly away, as if she was heading off to war.

It amused Kevin to see how nervous she became and he couldn't help laughing behind her back. After she disappeared from sight, he went back to his office and got down to work. His schedule needed to be reshuffled since Daisy was pregnant.

"Good morning, Commander. You wanted to see me?" Daisy entered the commander's office and greeted him with a smile. Not knowing what the commander wanted from her, she was quite on her guard, as much as she tried to hide it.

"Oh, Daisy! Come in and grab a seat," the commander said, a beaming smile on his face, just like every other time he saw Daisy.

"Thanks, Commander. I'd better stand and receive orders," Daisy replied. She thought it a must to mind her manners before figuring out why the commander had asked her to come.

"Ugh. So polite! You'd probably get tired standing there. You don't want to wear yourself out, especially now," the commander insisted. Now it was clear that he did know something about her pregnancy, and Daisy had read between the lines.

"Don't worry, commander," she said. "So what do you need?" Daisy went straight to the point. She wanted to get this over with as soon as possible, rather than continue to beat around the bush.

"Patience, patience," the commander replied, still with his kind smile. If Edward hadn't called and told him about the news, he wouldn't have known that she was pregnant even now.

"I'm always like this, you know," Daisy mumbled.

"So is it true? You're pregnant?" the commander asked. He wasn't in the mood to keep her guessing anymore. For all he knew, she might very well lose her temper if he didn't ask her straight up.

"Wow, you're really well-informed, Commander," Daisy said with a mysterious smile. "Mind telling me how you found out?" she asked, raising an eyebrow. To be honest, she had already figured out the answer before she asked, but she wasn't one to jump to conclusions. She also wanted to see if she could charm the answer out of the old soldier.

"Why? You want to mess with my intelligence network?" the commander asked a bit seriously. He knew she was going to ask, so he decided to put his foot down and show his authority. After all, Edward had requested that he not give him away in any case. She might try to pump the full story out of him if he wasn't firm enough.

"That's okay, I think I already know," Daisy said with a grimace. "So, how would you deal with it?" she asked, biting her lip. She was getting angry, not at the commander, of course, but at Edward.

"Deal with what? The one-child policy has been canceled, and you can have a second child," the commander asked innocently. But he was merely playing the fool. He knew clearly what Daisy meant, but he still tried to play it off and keep his word to Edward.
