It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 396

Edward was busy reading reports and signing papers the whole morning. He didn't have the time to leave his office. He couldn't even go out and have lunch with Daisy in some fancy restaurant. Daisy had to eat alone and order delicious and healthy takeout for Edward. Edward ate in his office after Daisy came back, and soon went back to work after his quick lunch.

After signing his name on the last document on his desk, Edward took a deep sigh and tiredly leaned against his chair with closed eyes. He rubbed between his eyebrows and took a short catnap. When he reopened his eyes, Edward found Daisy sleeping soundly on the couch. There was a faint smile on her face, her eyelashes quivering slightly as she breathed. Edward's lips curled into a tender smile at the sight.

'What a sleepy head! She's been sleeping for hours, and she hasn't woken up yet. Did I wear her out in bed last night?' Edward wondered as he gazed at Daisy's sleeping face.

Edward wasn't a man who liked indulgence. To him, sex was merely a way to satisfy physical needs. But after meeting Daisy, everything changed. For some reason, he lost control of himself whenever Daisy was around.

Edward looked at his watch to check the time. Then he rose from his chair and walked up to Daisy. He sat on the edge of the couch, lovingly caressing her face with his long fingers. He shook his head with a small smile. Was she really a colonel? Her vigilance was so poor.

"Honey, wake up. It's time to go home now." Edward gently pinched the tip of her delicate nose, leaning forward to whisper in her ear. Disturbed by his actions, Daisy slapped his hand away and grumbled incoherently. She turned away, still sound asleep.

Edward paused, his smile growing. If he couldn't wake her up like this, he didn't mind trying a different method.

With a smirk, he leaned closer and pressed his lips to hers. The sleeping woman suddenly opened her eyes and subconsciously flung her fist towards Edward's stomach. Although Edward sensed Daisy's sudden movement, it happened too fast for him to react.

"Ouch! Damn it! Daisy, are you trying to kill me?" Edward immediately jumped back, wrapping his arms around his stomach. He glared at the culprit rubbing her eyes obliviously. Did she take him as some jerk who was trying to force himself on her?

"What? What happened? Oh, I'm so sorry! I didn't know it was you. You shouldn't sneak up on me while I'm sleeping." Daisy apologized with a frown. She didn't even notice that Edward was sitting next to her. How could she let her guard down and be so careless whenever she was with Edward? She was supposed to be a discreet and vigilant soldier. She didn't notice Edward's presence until he tried to kiss her.

"It's not my fault, woman. I tried to wake you up, but you were sleeping like a little pig and completely ignoring me." Edward retorted sharply. Daisy was the one who didn't hear him and punched him, how could she blame him for finding a more effective way to wake her up?

"Were you trying to wake me up?" Daisy smiled sheepishly and touched her nose. She didn't hear anything; she must've been sleeping so soundly.

"No. I was trying to wake up a little lazy piggy." Edward turned around and directly walked into the restroom inside his office without glancing at Daisy. The injured look on his face worried Daisy.

Daisy had no idea what to do. She didn't mean to hit Edward, it was a subconscious reaction. But he seemed angry. Daisy sighed heavily and looked up. She was shocked to see Edward's empty desk. The whole stack of reports had disappeared. Did Edward finish reading them all? Struck with a thought, Daisy glanced at her watch. 'What the hell? It's already so late. How long have I been sleeping?' Daisy couldn't believe her eyes.
