It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 234

"Annie, nice to meet you. I hope we can keep in touch in the future." Belinda glanced around, but Daisy was nowhere to be seen. She was disappointed and wondered whether the wound on Daisy's arm had healed.

"I will, Belinda." Annie sounded tender. At this moment, she was elegant and quiet. She was more mature than her age might indicate, and she was as graceful in body and manner alike.

"Edward, where's Daisy?" Belinda asked after she had chatted with Annie. She had thought that Daisy would be here.

All the eyes were on Edward now, because everyone else was also curious why Daisy didn't come. Rain knew that Jessica had kissed Edward and not the other way around -- Daisy should have been willing to hear Edward's explanation. Rain considered Daisy to be a rational woman, who wouldn't take accidents as deliberate mistakes. Hence, Rain didn't understand why Edward kept drinking like a fish.

"She has gone to attend the war games." Edward replied indifferently in a vexed tone, ignoring other people's gaze. His mood was unfathomable.

"War games? How come I have never heard of it? This one must be being conducted in secret. A closed one again?" As Belinda could recall, Daisy had attended a training recently. How was it that war games had come so soon? Belinda was worried about Daisy when she couldn't reach her.

"I don't know either, because she told me nothing." Edward was sipping wine, with a melancholy look in his deep eyes.

"Is Daisy still mad about what happened between you and Jessica? Did you explain it to her?" Rain asked, doubting if that was the reason for all this. Edward never kissed women on the lips, because he was a compulsive germ freak. Everyone in his social class knew that. If Daisy knew about it too, it wouldn't be hard for her to believe Edward.

"I think so. Since I didn't get to see her before she left, how could I explain anything to her?" Edward said in a resentful tone and drained another glass.

"What? Does Daisy know that Jessica is pregnant?" Duke cut in, unaware of the whole situation. He thought the only thing that Daisy would mind was that Jessica was pregnant, because to him, nothing was more serious than this.

"What are you talking about? Jessica is pregnant? And Daisy knows about it? If that's true, maybe she hasn't gone to the war games but is hiding somewhere to heal her broken heart!" Belinda said, glaring at Edward, eyes blazing fire. 'Edward, it had better not be like what I think. Otherwise, I'll harangue you so much so that you'd wish you have never been born, no matter whether you're the man Daisy loves or not, ' she thought.

"We were talking about the kiss Jessica forced on Edward this afternoon." Rain rolled his eyes at Duke and scolded him secretly, 'This guy is anxious to stir up trouble. Doesn't he know his wife and Daisy are best friends? Edward will be in huge trouble when Belinda knows everything. Duke should know how hot-tempered Belinda is.'

"You mean really Jessica is pregnant and Daisy is the only one that doesn't know about it?" Belinda asked. That was the only thing that she cared about.
