It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 229

"Mr. Edward? What are you doing here?" Mark asked. He looked at Edward, then at Luke. Because he had lived in Edward's house recently, Luke was not a stranger to him. Luke had a very cold face, even colder than Colonel Daisy. Mark thought.

"Mark, where is the Colonel?" Edward asked and seized Mark's shoulder. He shook him eagerly, like Daisy might appear if Edward just jolted the soldier hard enough.

"Mr. Edward, l - let me go. I'll explain. R - right now I c - can't even speak," said Mark, struggling with the words. He felt dizzy from all the shaking.

"Okay, but tell me, where is the Colonel?" asked Edward who immediately took back his hands and patted down his hair, embarrassed. He knew he lost his cool again. 'You see! Daisy. I've just lost myself over you for the first time. There are so many things I've done for you for the first time, but you can't see them. Then something happens, and you forget everything that I've done for you and all the love I've given you.' thought Edward.

"Our Colonel has gone to H City with the Major General because of some emergency. It's about an hour by plane. So she didn't get the chance to notify you yet." said Mark He massaged his shoulder which was hurt by Edward shaking him. He wondered what mistakes he had made that would make him suffer this pain.

"What? They went to H CIty? But why?" asked Edward. 'Daisy, are you doing this in order to escape from me? And you go with Kevin. Do you know how miserable I am now?' thought Edward.

"Yes. They are going there to prepare the military exercises. I come back to bring some things for the Colonel." Mark said. He didn't realize that his last answer had layers of misunderstandings built in it. So he was confused when he saw Edward's face go pale.

"But why can't I get her on the phone? Did she turn it in because of the mission?" asked Edward. His eyes were full of regret. He had been careful to protect her from being affected by his affairs. But he failed. He made her sad. And of course, that would affect the military exercise. It seemed that the most hateful person was not Jessica, but Edward himself, who had thought that everything was under control.

"Oh! The Colonel's phone is powered down. Maybe she needs to charge it." said Mark while taking a cautious look at Edward. He had wanted to say that there was another possibility: that the Colonel was unwilling to charge her phone because she was trying to avoid someone. But he didn't dare say it. He kept this in his heart.
