It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 1779

"What's the matter with being tanned? It's healthy to get some vitamin D," Edward replied. He handed her a bottle of water while he started the car and drove out of the army base.

"I know that you are right. But I can't help but worry about him. What if he was bullied or had some altercation with someone," she said with growing concern. Daisy had become extremely sensitive of late. Maybe it was due to her pregnancy.

"He will be fine, stop worrying! You know how clever he is and besides, he is my son. Who would dare bully him," said Edward with confidence. His confidence, after all, wasn't just based on idle gossip. He had his own qualification and strength.

"It's because you always fill his mind with such talk and I fear that he may start to become over-confident," said Daisy frowning. Daisy's concerns were justified. Justin was entering puberty and if he wasn't properly guided, he could become like one of those cocky second-generation rich kids, with no compassion for others or skills of his own.

"Well my lady, don't you think that you are over worrying? I mean, if you don't believe in Justin, you should believe in yourself. After all, it was your strict guidance that has set the boundary for him," said Edward trying to calm her worries. Edward felt helpless. Ever since Daisy had become pregnant, her demeanor had greatly changed. Instead of being the confident, secure and positive person that she used to be, she seemed to be plagued with second-guessing herself and unnecessary insecurities and just worrying about everything all the time.

"Well, I don't believe in you. It's you that is corrupting our son," said Daisy. Like many women in the pregnancy, she was experiencing a lot of mood swings and body changes. Although, being a soldier she thought that she would've been able to cope with the changes much better than she was, she could see that she was losing her agility and that all had been adding to her low self-confidence.

"Me? What about me? I not only listen to every order that you give me, but also take over the driver's job to pick you up every day," Edward said a little hurt and confused. In the past, Edward would never have dreamed of being so submissive to a woman. But this was Daisy whom he loved dearly and was willing to do anything for.

"Even if you didn't come to pick me up, I have my own driver," she said pouting. It was because of him that Mark had lost his position as her driver.

"But I am free of charge and I also love and care for you," said Edward firmly as he drove the car slower and more careful than usual.

Daisy didn't continue with the conversation. Instead, she took in the scenery outside the car. S City was always so breathtakingly beautiful, especially at dusk.

By the time they got home, Justin had already arrived. As soon as he saw his mom and dad he ran to greet them excited.

"Mom, dad, what took you so long?" It was the first time that Justin had been away from home and it was for a whole month. He found that he missed his family and home a lot.

"Justin, come here. Let mom have a good look at you. How come you have become so thin?" Daisy said pinching his cheeks gently. Before he went camping, he had been plump and now he was much thinner.

"Mom, if you have a better look, you'll see that I am not thinner but sturdier," he said proudly. But all the while, he was exchanging silent looks to his father as if asking, "What's going on? Why isn't mom like the former high spirited and vigorous senior Colonel that she used to be?"
