It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 227

"Whoa! That can't be true! When did Jessica become so aggressive? Doesn't she know about your mysophobia?" Rain's eyes widened. Everyone who knew Edward knew that it was forbidden to touch his lips. Jessica was really very bold to kiss him like that. She was even clever enough to pick the right moment to let Daisy see it.

"I'm leaving now. Take care of the company for me." Edward hurriedly walked out of the elevator as soon as it stopped at the first floor. He dialed Daisy's number again and again, but her phone was still switched off. He cursed in frustration.

The Humvee sped by on the road in the downtown area. Mark carefully observed Daisy's expression from time to time. He had assumed that he would wait outside the office building of the FX International Group for a while. He didn't expect Daisy to come back so soon. When she returned, she didn't seem as excited as she was when they arrived at the building.

"Colonel, where are we going?" Mark asked. They had passed several intersections already and now, they were faced with three options at the next turn: the army base, Edward's house, and the seaside.

"I want to go to the seaside." She rolled her hollow eyes and sneered to herself. If the picture she saw didn't mean anything, how could anyone explain what she just witnessed?

Edward told her to believe him no matter what. Was this what he wanted her to see? Was she just a joke to him? It seemed that she felt too complacent. Daisy thought that as long as she was close to Edward, he would eventually fall for her. But it all turned out to be a fantasy.

The sea breeze was very gentle today. As if the breeze could sense Daisy's sadness, it swept over her face gently in comfort. She sat alone on a rock as she watched the vast blue ocean. The waves that smelled like seaweeds licked the rocks near the shore. Drops of sea water occasionally splashed on her cold face.

The sea in the evening was very peaceful. The moonlight reflected on the sea, making the sea and the sky merge into one. Tears ran down Daisy's cold cheeks. She looked desolate and helpless. How long had it been since the last time she cried? Was it when she was cut off from her family? Or the moment of desperation when she was stabbed in the stomach by the drug trafficker with a knife? Or was it when she gave birth to Justin alone? No, she didn't shed a tear on any of these occasions. She found herself vulnerable to cry since she met Edward again. She had become more emotional when it came to him.

'Edward, is it so difficult for you to fall in love with me? Is it impossible for you to be mine? If I have to share you with other women, I'd rather go back to my life without you. At least I'd have my pride and dignity. I won't miss you if I don't see you around. And I won't be heartbroken if I don't miss you. I will still remain the apathetic Colonel who looks ruthless and intimidating in front of all the soldiers, ' Daisy thought to herself.

Mark got off the car and ran towards Daisy. "Colonel, Major General is calling." He didn't know what happened in the FX International Group. He had never seen Daisy so depressed.

"Oh! Give me the phone!" Daisy reached for the phone while discreetly wiping the tears on her face. But she was a little surprised to see that it wasn't her phone.
