It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 235

"Don't say sorry to me! Daisy is the one you should apologize to, for the 12 years that she has spent loving you and for the fact that you haven't acted like a husband for one day since she married you! When she was pregnant with your baby, you were fooling around with other women; when she was on assignment and risking her life, you were enjoying your comfortable and luxurious life; when she was alone and worried to death by Justin's sickbed, you were squandering your wealth in some club. You've been nothing but cruel to her, Edward!"

Belinda's lips were quivering. She had been dying to yell these words at Edward for a long time. The pent-up anger had almost choked her. Unlike Daisy, she wouldn't bear all the pains silently or give the things she wanted to others.

"12 years? Belinda, be clear. Did Daisy and I meet 12 years ago?" Edward was stunned at Belinda's words. He didn't know that Daisy had loved him for so long until today. He couldn't imagine how she had spent those years when he didn't respond to her love at all, because only a few hours had passed since he lost track of her, and already he felt that he had been emptied, leaving only a shell. She had brought him so many shocks, one bigger than another. He felt that his whole world was crumbling.

"I wish she had never met you. Then she wouldn't have lived only for you, and might have been happier." Belinda reached for the wine before her, and poured it down her throat. The cold liquid slid down to her heart. Her sensory organs prickled. She coughed.

"Slow down!" Duke said. He patted her lightly and wiped her tears with a tissue. He was terrified by her hysteria. Obviously she loved Daisy deeply, to an extent that no one else could imagine.

Edward was astounded, with mixed feelings. Daisy had always loved him, but she had never said so to him. Instead he had known about it via newspapers and other person. They had been intimate recently, but he had never known her real feelings for him. He thought it unforgivable. Was this his so-called love for her? His love paled beside her forgiveness.

Rain raised his eyes to look at Annie. 'Has she fallen in love with another man?' he ventured. He was sure of it before today, but after learning about Daisy's faithfulness to Edward, he was moved. He regained his faith in Annie, because he didn't think she was a fickle girl.

Annie felt downhearted. Daisy's situation was so similar to hers. They both loved a man secretly. But Annie was much luckier. At least she had her family who loved her very much while all Daisy had was only one friend. Compared to Daisy, she had nothing to complain about.

At this moment, the room was quiet. Everyone had something different on their minds. They learned something new about Daisy and respected her even more for it. How many women could love a man as humbly as she did? She had endured Edward's neglect and unfaithfulness, and long years of waiting for him to love her back. She was tough and resilient.

A ringtone broke the silence. Everybody looked around to locate the source, broken out of their thoughts. It was Edward's phone. He picked it up and hoped it was Daisy. However, it wasn't.

"Hi, Justin, what's up?" he answered softly. He was always tender with his son.
