It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 245

"Mother, you might want to have some tea. I'm afraid you're embarrassing Mr. Qin too much with your questions." Mary wanted to disappear at this moment. What's wrong with her mother? She was supposed to please Edward, not some nobody like Tom!

"I'm sorry, Mr. Qin. I hope you don't mind. This is typical of my mother. She's interested in everything." Yakira stopped trying to chat with Tom as her daughter wished. There was no need for it anymore, since she already got what she wanted.

"That's alright." In truth, seeing Yakira's heavily-clad face up close made Tom lose his appetite. He wouldn't have come here if he had known that Yakira would be present.

"Edward, can I go to your company tomorrow? I still have a lot to learn." Mary looked at Edward beseechingly. The more Mary got to know him, the more she fell for him. Edward was like a god to her, someone she had set as her life's ultimate goal.

"You're already familiar with all of my company's business. I don't think there's any more for you to learn." Edward said with a frown. Although he was getting irritated, he didn't show it.

"Mr. Mu. I really hate to bother you. But Mary is a little bit silly, she needs more time to learn everything. It would be nice if you could give her a chance. Yakira hurried to say as soon as she heard Edward's rejection. She knew that Mary couldn't handle the situation and would lose her chance.

"Silly? I don't think so. She's pretty brilliant in some ways." Edward said with a cold smile. Could a silly person rob someone of biological father? Could a silly person drive someone out of home? But compared to her calculating mother, you could describe Mary as someone silly.

"Edward, thank you. It's so nice of you to say so." Mary completely missed the sarcasm in Edward's words. She was ecstatic to hear Edward's praise.

Tom spat out some red wine when he heard Mary's response. He couldn't help his laughter. Luckily, he didn't splash on anyone this time.

"I'm so sorry. I just choked on some wine. Go on." Tom apologized in embarrassment. Was this Mary really so stupid as to miss the obvious sarcasm in Edward's voice? Or was she feigning ignorance?

"Mr. Mu, what do you think about Mary? She's beautiful, isn't she?" Yakira gritted her teeth. Unlike her oblivious daughter, she picked up on his sarcasm. But sometimes, people would rather be stupid than face the ugly truth.

"Sorry, Mrs. Ouyang. I never notice that." Actually, Edward never looked at Mary's face since the awkward conversation began. Before, he had to be nice to Mary, because he thought that she was one of his in-laws. Things had changed after he found out that she's Daisy's stepsister.

An anguished look appeared on Yakira's face at Edward's words. It seemed that Edward was difficult to deal with. She couldn't take the plan of marrying her daughter to Edward lightly.
