It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 212

"Justin, isn't your daddy good and loving to you, too? He has always been nice to you, right?" Leaning casually against the door, Edward folded his arms and smiled at his wife and son. He felt so happy and relieved to see them. They were the only people he needed right now.

"Daddy! You're home! Why didn't you bring me to the seaside with you? I would have loved to be there with you!" Justin jumped off from her mother's lap and dashed towards Edward in excitement. It seemed he had totally forgotten that he was holding a grudge against his father. The mere appearance of his father gave him so much joy.

"The seaside? Do you want to go there again?" Edward slightly frowned while lifting Justin's warm little body up to his arms. He could still recall what happened last time they went to the seaside. Why not go somewhere else for a change? 'But it's different this time, ' Edward thought to himself, 'since the three of us will go as a family. That would be a happy trip, no doubt!' Edward was suddenly delighted by the idea.

"Yes! Daddy, can we bring mommy next time? So that we will be a complete family!" Putting on a sweet and cheerful smile, Justin played with Edward's tie and looked into his eyes like a little puppy begging for food.

"Then we'll have to ask mommy about it. That's not my decision to make." Ever since the moment he walked in, Edward had been gazing at Daisy affectionately. He missed her so much.

"Come on. Let's go have dinner first. I'm starving." Daisy looked away, trying hard not to make eye contact with him. She didn't even say a thing about the trip the father and son were already planning. She simply tucked her hair behind her ears and walked towards the door. She didn't know what to think or what to say. She couldn't even look at Edward straight in the eyes, for fear that she would break down and cry. Daisy told herself that she didn't care at all what Jessica had showed her, but in fact her mind had been running circles on her.

"Justin, you go first." Edward lovingly patted Justin's little butt and put him down.

"Okay, daddy! But don't make me wait too long. I'm hungry already!" Justin looked at both his father and mother. He knew something was wrong and his parents were going to have a conversation. He didn't say anything else and just went downstairs.

Edward still had his eyes fixed on Daisy. She seemed strange and hesitant. What was she thinking now? There were hints of hesitation and fear in her eyes when she looked at him. 'She was just fine when we spoke on the phone earlier.' Edward wondered in dismay, 'What happened?'

Daisy pulled herself together and tried to go past him, but Edward wouldn't let her. He grabbed her hand and dragged her into his arms. His skin felt warm and smelled like seaweed. 'He must have spent a long time by the sea.' Daisy thought to herself.

"Honey, are you mad at me? Why are you acting like you're dodging me?" Edward held her tight and a frown showed on his face.

"Why should I be mad? What have you done to make me mad? Did you do something?" Daisy slightly shifted her stance, trying to break free. Edward tightened his grip even more.
