It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 336

"Mr. Mu, a toast in the spirit of good cooperation! I never imagined that Daisy is your wife. She is an excellent officer in our army. We're on the same side and we should support each other, ha, ha!" toasted the Army Commander. He downed his drink with one gulp. The implication in his words revealed that he was indeed a mighty and smart leader. After all, an average man wouldn't reach his status.

"Thanks, Army Commander. I also consider my wife excellent in every aspect. It seems that we have the same view on that," said Edward. Of course, Edward, a scheming businessperson, could read between the lines. He understood what the Army Commander was implying. So he got the hint and continued.

"Ha, ha! You're living up to your status as an elite in the city, considerate and thoughtful. Don't worry! She's always been one of the most powerful and efficient officers on base," said the Army Commander. He thought, 'Edward looks prettier than most women, but he doesn't behave like a woman. Instead of beating about the bush, he is negotiating with me in a different way. Every line he said seems simple and normal, but he was hinting his purpose. And I couldn't say no to him. He is really crafty.'

"That's very nice of you. You've given your word, then I have nothing to worry about, '' replied Edward. He put on a meaningful smile on his face when his purpose was understood by the Army Commander. He thought, 'The Army Commander is clever. I thought there would be a lot of talking. But he is wise enough to make the conversation easier. I like to talk with intelligent people, because I can get what I want a lot quicker. Meaningless talk is just a waste of time.'

On the other hand, Daisy frowned and was a bit confused. She failed to follow their way of talking and thinking. She felt that there was a hidden meaning behind their words. When she tried to figure out what they were talking about a moment ago, they seemed to turn to another topic. In fact, the rest felt the same way. Edward and the Army Commander talked as if they were good friends who had known each other for a long time. In fact, it was the first time they had met. The words meant more than they said.

"Commander, a toast to you! Thanks for your caring and help to my wife all these years," said Edward sincerely. Some time ago, he had overheard Daisy talking with the Commander on the phone. He knew that the Commander truly cared about Daisy. Therefore, Edward sincerely respected him.

"Mr. Mu, you're welcome. Daisy is a talent, I'm just a talent scout. I don't take the credit for her success and honors. She has earned them the hard way," replied the commander. He appreciated the sophisticated way Edward dealt with people. He understood the implied meaning, so he had to be very cautious when he talked with such a scheming man like Edward. Or he would be screwed.

Edward was amused. He realized that the commander must have known exactly what they were talking about. That was why the commander was cautious and alert when talking with him. But right now, everything Edward had said was honest and sincere. There was no implied meaning in his words.

"Excuse me, I've got to leave now. Please help yourselves," said Edward. He had to leave and say hi to his business partners because they were beckoning to him. He loved Daisy, so he came to greet her leaders first. Now that he had gotten what he wanted, it was time to do his own business. Edward didn't take Daisy with him because he knew Daisy was uncomfortable in social situations. And the most important reason was that he didn't want her to be noticed by those men, who liked to hook up with women, just like he did in the past.

Kevin had stood there listening to them all the time. He could do nothing but mock himself when Edward overlooked him. Edward didn't like Kevin because Kevin adored Daisy. Now Kevin was married to Leena, what would Edward think of him? That was why Edward had cast a warning glance at him in the beginning. Obviously, he did it for Leena. Because he knew Kevin was not a rival or a threat. Daisy loved him only.

"Colonel, you've kept the information from us! We didn't know that you are the wife of Mr. Mu, the boss of the FX International Group, therefore we have suspended you from your duties. You must feel wronged. Fortunately, your husband is so considerate to you that you don't have to worry about the suspension. We'll declare your innocence," said the Army Commander seriously and sincerely.

He was the superior among them, therefore he didn't have to be cautious any more. He valued Daisy and her talents. After all, what she had learned abroad was what they needed domestically.

"Thanks, Army Commander, I'm fine," replied Daisy. Daisy had always been calm and cold, so she didn't look surprised when she heard that she was suspended. But deep inside, she felt grieved. Without any further investigation, they just suspended her. She wondered whether it was because they were efficient or because they had a problem with her.

At this time, a kid shouted, "Commander, it's you. I miss you so much," It was Justin. He then rushed at the commander and hugged him.

"Ha, ha! Kid, I miss you too. I haven't seen you on base for months. I thought you've forgotten me," the commander smiled. The commander was truly happy. They used to see each other every day. But he hadn't seen Justin since Daisy took him away to live with Edward months ago. He really missed him.
