It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 1776

"My stupid work? Finally! Your tongue betrays your heart. You said you would not interfere with my work. But you are now eating your own words. You want to criticize my work? Then whatever you said earlier clearly doesn't count at all!" Hormonal changes during her pregnancy had wrought havoc on Daisy's moods. Edward's comment about her job greatly infuriated her. She could no longer control her temper and began shouting in his face at the top of her lungs.

"Daisy, how dare you say such horrible things to me? Do you even understand what you are accusing me of? For years, I have been standing by your side and supporting your work in every way possible! Have I ever caused you any trouble or hindrance? I only stepped in and called the commander this time for the sake of your safety. Because you are pregnant with our child, I have to be more cautious and will take all possible measures to look after you. I just don't want you to be involved in any high-risk assignments. I did all this out of good intent." Her false accusations really hurt his feelings. Edward lowered his eyes and turned away. It never occurred to him that his beloved wife would take his care as admonishment. For years, he had been devoting himself to her, and yet she viewed his love as shackles.

"I remember we had a conversation before regarding the child, and I told you that I will take care of our unborn child the best way I can. You have my promise on that. I want my child to be strong, but the last thing I want is for my child to interfere with my work." Daisy's voice was still loud. She was so stubborn, and lately, whenever she ended up in an argument, she refused to use logic.

"If bearing a child really bothers you, then you can do whatever you want with it. I give up! Suit yourself! This is not my concern anymore!" Really exhausted by the argument, he couldn't deal with her ridiculous justifications anymore. Edward gave her a bitter, despondent smile, then he walked out of the bedroom.

"Hey, where are you going?" She was shocked to see his sudden change of attitude. Her voice became nervous.

"Why would you even care where I am going? Do you really even care about me?" He whispered, pausing briefly at the door, before leaving without a backward glance at her panicked face.

Daisy painfully bit into her bottom lip as she watched him walk away. He looked truly mad. Perhaps her behavior had been unreasonable, she considered. They had been together for so many years, but this was the first time she saw him so sad. As a bad thought came to her mind, she sprang to her feet and chased after him desperately.

"Edward, stop!" She shouted at his cold back. Despite the fact they were in a nasty fight, she still cared for him and didn't want him to drive. She feared that his horrible mood might have unthinkable consequences. As she drew near, she noticed that his shoulders were trembling as he struggled to control his anger. 'Under no circumstance will I let you drive tonight. It will be irresponsible to others and yourself.' Daisy thought as she clenched her fists.

"Senior Colonel, I am not one of your soldiers. Stop treating me with your army rules! It won't work on me," Edward said scornfully. He was a prideful man, and he certainly wasn't going to listen to her commands.

"I saw Coco today!" Eventually Daisy spat out the name that had been weighing her down all day. She couldn't stand it anymore, and Edward needed to know why she was not herself today. The foul mood she had suffered today came with a name. Daisy drooped with fatigue as she finally revealed the name to him.

"What did she want from you?" On hearing the name, Edward swung around in shock. He gazed into her eyes, his face full of concern.

"She came to me with the latest news of Jessica. She told me that Jessica had passed from this world." Daisy spoke slowly through clenched teeth as she studied the look on his face. Jessica had been Edward's lover for quite a few years, and Daisy often suffered bouts of jealousy when she thought of him with another woman.

"Her death has nothing to do with you. Why would you even care?" Edward's face remained calm. He looked unperturbed by the news. It was known to all among their social circles that Mr. Mu was an indifferent man with few words. Jessica was history to him. Naturally, her death didn't affect his mood at all.
