It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 46

"Mom, you're really here! So dad wasn't lying!" Justin grinned from ear to ear, and hugged Daisy tight, arms around her neck.

"Yes, I'm here. You're getting so big! I almost couldn't lift you." She laughed. "Probably means you're eating well." Daisy nuzzled Justin's forehead gently and lovingly.

"Mom, when did you get here? How do you know where we live?" Justin asked eagerly. He didn't expect his mom till evening, but when he woke up, his mother was right there by his bedside. When Edward told him she would be there, he thought Edward was lying. But it turned out he was telling the truth.

Daisy stuttered and didn't know how to answer. "I...that is..." She didn't know when she got here, not to mention where she was. She was taken here by Edward, but she couldn't tell him that. It was too embarrassing.

"Justin, where is your father?" Daisy tried to change the topic.

"You are so reliant on me. I leave the room and you miss me already." That arrogant and teasing tone was so Edward. Daisy regretted asking. She dodged Justin's harsh questions, but now Edward was skewering her with his razor sharp wit. So embarrassing!

Edward leaned against the door gracefully. The grey gym outfit made him seem lazier and more approachable. He stared at Daisy and Justin, smiling the whole time. The scene was so sweet, so Norman Rockwell, with his beautiful wife and adorable son.

"No. I just asked randomly. Don't overthink it."

'Why do I lose it every time I'm around Edward?' she wondered.

"I didn't overthink anything. Or is it that you want me to overthink about you?" Edward was having fun. She was more vibrant this time -- last time she was just a cold and aloof officer.

"Mr. Edward, the staff of MY Mall are waiting downstairs. They said you called them here." Daisy was saved by the abrupt voice. She felt quite lucky -- she was not as eloquent as Belinda Shangguan. She could never win against Edward in a battle of words.

"Excellent. The clothes must have arrived. The Mall staff is quite efficient. Tell them to bring the clothes upstairs." Finally Edward shifted his gaze. Daisy breathed a sigh of relief.

Edward glanced at her, walked over and took Justin from her arms. He set him down.

"Okay, son, your mother is tired now. You go have breakfast. Your mom and I will be along soon." When Edward declared something, there was no wiggle room. It was like an order from an officer.

"Okay. But you have to come downstairs soon." Justin got it. He loved it when his mother held him. But he also knew he was bigger than he had been at 2 or 3. It was only natural that she would be tired.

The clothier called out, "Mr. Edward, can we bring the clothes in now?" Justin was trapped inside by the apparel racks at the door. He gaped at several lines of clothing, wondering if Edward had moved the whole mall home.

"Take them all in. They go in the closet." Edward was oblivious to Daisy's surprised look. To him, this was normal.
