It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 20

Edward drove all the way home as fast as he could. He walked to the children's room as usual. He didn't realize that Justin had gone away with Duke until he saw the empty room. It seemed that this habit was something frightening.

He threw himself into the little bed and smelt the quilt which had the smell of milk. He couldn't help smiling. When did he become so sensitive? When he turned over, he felt something hard under him. It turned out to be a tiny cell phone. Now he found the reason why Justin didn't call him.

He gently unlocked the cell phone screen, a magnified photo leaped to his eyes. In the photo was a woman in a military uniform. Her tiny lips were tightly compacted; her dark shining eyes looked cold; her two delicate eyebrows gently wrinkled and her tiny face was with deep sadness. Edward suddenly felt a prick in his heart. It was the first time that he had seen the little woman so clearly. She was so petite and beautiful.

Then he started to browse the photos in the phone album. In almost all the pictures were Justin and his mom. The woman was always that cold. Only when she looked at Justin would she be warm and tender. Edward felt that there was something missing in the pictures. He was in serious thoughts until he finally saw a picture of three people. In this photograph, that woman was still looking cold while Justin was held by a handsome man, who was looking at the woman beside him with so much love. It seemed as if she was the only one he could see.

Edward closed his eyes for a while. Finally he got to know what was missing in the preceding pictures. It turned out that a man was missing in the picture. But who was that handsome man in the other picture? Was Daisy in love with the handsome man in the picture? If yes, why didn't she come and divorce him?

He threw the cellphone away and he didn't want to have too many feelings on the picture he had just seen. After all, he didn't love that woman. If she loved someone else, why didn't he mind letting her go? However, there was a small wave in his heart which he had not even noticed.

The phone fell into the soft quilt. Edward stood up and was ready to leave. Suddenly, the cell phone vibrated. After thinking for a while, he picked it up and checked it.

After he clicked the message button, a line of warm words showed on the screen," Justin, do you miss mommy? Mommy missed you so much. The training has ended ahead of schedule. Mommy wanted to call you, but it was too late, so I sent you this message instead. I need to finish some more work, then I can pick you up in a few days. Remember to be obedient, mommy will be back soon." There was not a single word that mentioned him in the message. It seemed that that woman ignored him thoroughly.

In the meeting room of X army group of C City, Daisy frowned. There was not a trace of being exposed to the sun for a long time on her delicate face. Her nice fingers gently turned the pages of the evaluation reports. It didn't indicate that the performance was bad, just not that good.

"What' wrong, Colonel Ouyang? Are you dissatisfied with the result?" The query made Daisy raise her head suddenly. She didn't say anything before she could see clearly who was in front of her. "Oh! Hello, Mr. Gu." She deliberately ignored his question and greeted him.

Kevin Gu picked up the papers in front of her. He nodded while checking the results. At last, he put down the papers in front of her," They all performed well. With such a training result and your daily performance, you will be promoted for sure."

"I don't care whether I will be promoted or not. There are so many people who are more excellent than me. I just feel that it has not reached my expectations and it's a little sad for me." In fact, Daisy also knew the real purpose of the training. However, there were a lot of elites who would also be evaluated and most of them had powerful backers. She didn't have any backer at all and she relied on her own effort to reach her current position. She had tried her best and was too tired to strive for a higher one.

"Daisy, don't be so harsh on yourself. We all see how hard you worked." Kevin Gu pitied Daisy very much. He had never seen her relatives or friends except Justin. As to Justin's father, there were many versions of the rumor, but he knew none of them was true.
