It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 323

"Mommy, I just realized that my place in this family has reached a new low." Justin pouted and tried to make one last attempt to trick Daisy into taking him to the amusement park.

"Really? Why would you think that? It's not like that at all! You're still my sweetest baby!" Upon seeing Justin widen his watery eyes and play cute again, Daisy crouched down in front of him and pulled her loving mommy act. She knew she had been busy lately and had no time for her son. And she felt sorry about that.

"I don't believe you. Daddy is now mommy's sweetest baby, not me! Don't you like me anymore?" Justin felt so frustrated. Although he meant to hook his parents up so that he could have a loving family; but now that those two were spending more time together, Justin started to wonder whether there was any room left for him in his parents' hearts.

"Haha! Is my baby being jealous? You know what? You and daddy are both the most important men in my life. I couldn't bear to lose either one of you. Do you still think that I don't like you anymore now that I have daddy?"

Daisy wouldn't care what others thought about her, not even Edward; however, she couldn't ignore Justin's feelings. It was Justin who stayed with her to support her and make her laugh when Edward was not around. Justin was so adorable and considerate, and Daisy felt life wouldn't be that hard even if Edward didn't love her, as long as she had her baby boy. Although she was with Edward now, Justin was still her favorite.

"I'm sorry, mommy! I was just kidding! Please don't be sad!" Justin noticed the change in Daisy's look. He knew Daisy must have thought of those painful days. He didn't mean to stir things up in the first place, let alone make his mommy sad. How careless he was to say such foolish things! He knew it would hurt Daisy to bring old things up, but he just blurted it out without thinking it through.

"It's fine. The past is gone. I just want to live happily ever after. It is just a sad memory; I won't cry over it anymore," replied Daisy, wearing a gentle smile, caressing Justin's chubby face. She didn't like to hold on to the past. She would think of what she had been through every now and then, but most of the time, she chose to put things behind her. She didn't want the pain to cloud her life.

Daisy's calm words bruised Edward's heart. He felt like a ruthless butcher because everything his wife and son had suffered was because of him. He knew how painful it must have been, and he only wished he could go back in time and change it. He would have chosen his wife and son over anything. But he couldn't; nobody could. The only thing Edward could do was to cherish them more and to at least make up for all the years he had missed.

"Honey, I'm so sorry. You wouldn't have had to go through all those things if I had been a better man. But I was a jerk and I'm really, really sorry." Eyes fixed on Daisy, Edward sincerely apologized to her. At this moment, he could see no one but Daisy.
