It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 307

"Mr. Ouyang, what can I do for you?" Edward asked casually, hands in his trouser pockets. It was difficult to tell whether the faint smile on his face was contemptuous or a mischievous one.

"I want to apologize for what happened in the restaurant the other day. My family was rude and disruptive while you were having dinner with your family. I'm really sorry. Mary said some offensive remarks because she likes you as you know." Leo apologized obsequiously. Mary had been acting like a spoiled child in front of him to get him to come here. At last he had no choice but to come.

"So you came here for Mary?" The smile on Edward's face grew. A hint of disdain flitted over his handsome face. His opinion of Leo worsened. Daisy was in his office right now. He wished he could leave at once and go to her. She was the only one that mattered to him.

"Mr. Edward, what do you think of Mary? She kept asking me to come and since I'm here, I want to ask that for her. But I come here mainly for the findings of your investigation."

Leo said hesitantly. No matter what the results were, they wouldn't be good news for him. If Daisy was really his daughter, his neglect of her in the past would be like a blade that left a permanent scar and endless pain in them. It would make him regret his actions forever. If she wasn't, he would be haunted by the memory of his wife's betrayal for the rest of his life. Either way, he would suffer.

"Humph, why do you even care? What you're doing clearly shows where you stand. Mary has been always the only daughter in your heart. Since neither Daisy nor Mary is your biological daughter, why do you treat them so differently? And are you certain that you and Daisy aren't related at all? "

Edward had become irritated. 'Leo, you're still trying to bring me and Mary together. Good for you! Do you ever think about Daisy? Do you have any idea how embarrassing this is to her? She is your daughter after all, how could you treat her worse than an outsider?' he thought.

"What are you talking about? If I'm not his daughter, then who's my father?" Daisy stood at the door of the sitting room, deathly pale and dumbstruck. Her eyes were devoid of emotions, and she looked about to collapse at any minute. Now, she understood why her father had been so distant to her. But what hurt her the most wasn't the fact that she was't Leo's daughter, but her mother's betrayal. Daisy had respected and loved her so much. She couldn't believe that her mother was a woman who had slept around. Her parents had loved each other so deeply, how was it possible for her mother to have an affair?

Daisy's head was full of questions. It was a heavy blow to her sinking heart. It hurt so much that her body couldn't support herself anymore and she slowly started collapsing. Suddenly, a big hand caught her and pulled her into an embrace, where she felt warm and stayed motionless.

"Honey, don't be foolish. It's not as it seems. I'll tell you everything later. Now, stop thinking nonsense. Just stay in my arms." Daisy's body was shaking. Edward patted her and kissed her head several times to soothe her. 'What was Anna doing? She was supposed to keep an eye on her. How could she let her in?' he thought angrily.

"I'm sorry Mr. Edward. I had to go away for a minute, so I didn't see Mrs. Mu come in." As Edward blamed her, Anna rushed over on her high heels and shot Edward an apologetic look. She had to deliver a file to the vice general manager's office, but when she came back, Daisy was already at the door. One could never be too careful. Sometimes, the consequences of being careless could be very serious.

"Never mind. Go back to your work." Edward said, waving his hand. Daisy had to face the matter sooner or later. It's probably better for her to go through all the pain once and for all. Then, she wouldn't be able to feel the pain in the future anymore.

"Is this Daisy?" Leo asked in confusion. Looking at the aloof woman in military uniform in Edward's arms, he couldn't believe his eyes. When did she become a soldier? He remembered that she went abroad for further studies. How did she become a military officer? From the epaulets on her uniform, she seemed to hold a high position.

"Mr. Ouyang, don't you think your question is ridiculous? As a father, shouldn't you recognize your own daughter?" Edward said icily, casting a fierce look at Leo. How could a father not recognize his own daughter? It's unbelievable! But he never treated Daisy as his daughter, so his actions made sense. In this case, it wasn't necessary for Edward to be cordial to Leo anymore.

"Honey, take me home. Let's get out of here," Daisy said to Edward. She thought that if they met again, she would be able to treat Leo as a stranger without any trace of love or expectation. But it turned out that she still longed for family affection. Knowing that she wasn't his daughter was a blow to the head, but his question was a stab in the wound. She instantly lost all hope, and her attachment to him vanished into thin air.

"Alright, let's go home now." It took Edward by surprise that Leo could still hurt Daisy so much. He had thought that after so many years, she had gotten used to the feeling of being abandoned by her family. But Leo's actions still tore her heart apart. Blood is thicker than water. It seemed that family ties couldn't be forgotten or severed no matter how hard you tried. Even a soldier as gritty as Daisy couldn't dismiss such emotions.
