It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 239

"Yes, I just settled down here. Are you okay? How are you doing?" Daisy hesitantly asked him, because Mark said that he did not look that well. She was worried about him...

"Oh, don't worry, I'm okay. Don't worry about me, or Justin, just take good care of yourself. We're waiting for you to come back, we miss you already..." said Edward. He then suddenly felt that there was something standing between them. They were not as intimate as they used to be. He chose every one of his words carefully, because he feared that he might sadden her.

"Okay. I know, but... did you really mean what you said in your messages?" Daisy had wanted to ask this from the very beginning of their phone call. This matter haunted her, and she felt that if she didn't figure it out now, she wouldn't be able to fall asleep at night because of it.

"Which part?" asked Edward, flabbergasted. He couldn't figure out which message it was because he had sent too many. He didn't know which one she referred to.

"Fine, just forget about it. It's nothing," replied Daisy, with a downcast look on her face. She was obviously disappointed, because she had expected maybe too much from him, she pondered, 'Maybe he was trying to fool me, and that's why he doesn't remember what he said to me in the messages. It seems that he said that he loved me only to make me feel good and happy. Oh, I am so stupid to believe in him!'

"Dear, please listen carefully to me now, because I will only say it once. Honey, I love you, and until the moment I die, I will always love you!" Edward didn't hesitate for a moment to say these words to her. He knew that she loved him, and he also knew that she wanted to hear him say that.

When she heard the sweet and caring words, Daisy suddenly lost all of her senses. To see it was one thing, but to hear that kind of special words coming from him was a totally different thing. She couldn't believe that it was actually happening, and she was struck by mixed feelings of bitterness, joy, and panic. She feared that everything would end, and that she would wake up any moment from her sweet dream. People always said that every good thing had an end.

"Edward, can you... say that again?" requested Daisy, with her lips trembling. She had to hear it again to be assured of what she heard.

"Daisy, I already told you that I'll say it only once. You were absent-minded while I was saying it, weren't you? I told you to listen carefully to me, but you didn't listen..." said Edward amused, while he took the bath towel from the chair and wrapped himself in it. Water dripped on the floor from his messy hair, and a cunning smile appeared on his face. He was back to his usual charming manner.

"Oh... I didn't. But could you say it again? Please?" said Daisy, in an affectionate tone. It was rare for her to be this gentle and sweet to him. It was only when she wanted something from Edward that she showed her sweet, girly traits, and this time, she did it again. Edward always felt happy whenever she did this.

"No way! If you really want to hear it again, you'll hear it when you come back from the military exercises safe and sound. I will only say it again once, only once, but if you get yourself hurt, then you'll hear nothing out of me. So, please be safe there, okay?" Edward replied, with an intention of disappointing her, because he thought that she would not treasure his words if he said them to her too frequently. He was very domineering, and he knew well how to draw her attention to him, while in the same time not fully satisfying her curiosity. He was quite good at playing the Cat and Mouse game.
