It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 1775

"Daisy: I bet you must be surprised to receive my letter! We were so hostile towards each other. It is only natural that you are confused why I would write to you like this." Her handwriting was determined. Every stroke seemed to shout out loud to her from the paper. Daisy could tell when Jessica wrote these sentences she did so with a sense of finality.

"First of all, I am sincerely sorry for what I did to you years ago. My actions were inconsiderate and radical, and they caused you tremendous harm. For this, I am terribly sorry and wish I could apologize to you in person, but I don't expect you to forgive me for my behavior. However, please bear in mind that I am truly sorry and regret the harm I caused you." Jessica's words hurt her eyes, and Daisy's hands trembled uncontrollably as she read the sentences. She took a deep breath and continued reading.

"Perhaps, you viewed me as a family-wrecker all these years. You no doubt thought I came into your life to try and ruin your marriage. However, you are wrong. In terms of love, you are the one who stepped into my relationship with Edward. You came after me. When I started dating him, he didn't even have a place for you in his heart. I am sure you are aware of this obvious fact. You should know this better than anyone else. However, these things have become less important as time passed. I shouldn't talk about such things anymore. Let bygones be bygones!" The ink seemed paler from this sentence onwards. Daisy raised her eyebrow as she carefully studied Jessica's handwriting, it was no longer so assured, and the lines were in places so faint as to be almost unreadable. It seemed that she stopped for quite a long time before carrying on to finish the whole letter. Perhaps her illness accounted for the difference in script.

"I need to tell you that my love towards Mu is as deep as yours if not more so. Your love is profound whilst mine is crazy. The only difference is you have a piece of paper to prove your love, the marriage certificate. That is the only thing I lacked. However, I think we are of equal soul, as we both started from the same humble beginning, in the face of love itself. When we speak of our feelings for him, neither of us is superior."

Daisy's eyes moistened and she swallowed heavily as emotions flooded her. She raised her eyes from the letter and stared off at the horizon. Jessica's words held truth. Her lips twisted bitterly as she considered her own feelings towards Edward. Little did Jessica know that Daisy's love was also difficult and crazy. She came into his life early and sudden. They had such a long journey to reach this point. However, Jessica would never have understood this.

"Mu is the first man I fell in love with, he is also the only man that I shall ever love. My letter to you today is not trying to rub the past in your face. I just want to tell you that the man you have by your side is desired by so many women. They all longed for his attention but he never responded. I think you would somewhat understand how we feel. Like a moth flying towards the flame, I tried to hold him. Instead, I burned myself."

The metaphor hit Daisy hard. Of course she could understand how desperate Jessica had been. She felt for her, because she was once just like her, vulnerable and determined, trying desperately to win Edward's heart.

"Therefore, you should really love him with all your heart and soul. Because you need to love him on behalf of us, who also love him from afar. To be honest with you, none of us is any less than you. You are just lucky to have won his heart and tied the knot with him. I am sure as you read these words, you have a scornful look on your face! You might think we, a bunch of women who never triumphed in Edward's heart, are over-estimating ourselves by saying we are just as good as you. But Daisy, you are wrong. Think about the women surrounding Edward, none of them are plain, obscure or humble."

Daisy released a soft sigh as she read these words. Truly, her Edward was a charming man, surrounded by many outstanding women. She knew this already. It was not necessary for Jessica to point this out. She could already tell how popular he was when she first started dating him. The journey to his heart had not been at all smooth. She cared for him and was obsessed with all her rivals. She witnessed how those women tried to capture his heart but failed. She was the one who eventually won the love game.

"To be honest, I find it bizarre to say goodbye to you with this letter. What a way to go! The truth is I don't have anyone close to me. I don't have any real friends. How pathetic this is! You and I, on the other hand, share a connection through Edward. Maybe it is because of the long-standing quarrel we had over the years, but I gradually began viewing you as a kind of friend. Therefore, I decided to write you this letter." The letter ended. There was a huge blank space below the last sentence. Daisy turned the paper over and found it empty too. Shouldn't Jessica have continued writing something more? 'It doesn't feel like an ending, ' Daisy thought to herself as she carefully examined the paper. However, despite her examination of the document, she found no signature or date on it.
