It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 491

When they were busy, people often felt that time flew quickly. And it was true for Edward who was recovering from his injury. So when the phone beside his bed rang, he immediately picked it up and answered without even bothering to check who was calling.

"Hello, who's calling?" This was Edward's unique way of answering the phone. He was not like Daisy who always answered the phone with politeness, nor like any other gentlemen who gracefully introduced themselves as soon as they picked up the phone. His style was influenced by arrogance and flamboyance, yet not going too far to make people feel uncomfortable. Although he was answering the phone, his attention was still focused on the report in his hands.

Daisy frowned when she heard Edward's voice. This was not what she had expected to hear from Edward. Wasn't her number saved in Edward's phone? Why else would he ask who was calling? This was not like Edward's usual style. The only possibility was that he was in the middle of doing something, and he answered the phone without even noticing who was calling on the phone's screen. He was a patient, what would he be so engrossed in? Daisy's mind was filled with numerous questions.

"What are you doing?" Daisy placed the file on the table and laid back in the chair, waiting to hear his reply.

"Work." The reply was simple and to the point. He hadn't shifted his attention from the document to the call.

"Work? What work?" Daisy narrowed her clear and aggressive eyes and wondered, Edward could hardly walk and he dared to tell her that he was working, was he playing with his life?

"Oh! Honey, it's you! No, I didn't mean work. I was just talking with Luke." Edward was shocked by Daisy's anxious voice and came back to the call. He immediately made up for his slip of the tongue.

"Edward, do you think that I could be fooled around so easily? Daisy played with the golden pen in her hand and expressed her firm attitude that she didn't believe what he had said. If he was just talking to Luke, how come he hadn't noticed that the call was coming from her?

"No, even if I want to cheat someone, I don't have the nerve to cheat the Colonel Ouyang. Aren't you busy with your work?" Edward knew Daisy cared a great deal for him, so he purposely shifted the topic and tried to divert her attention.

"There's no need for you to concern yourself with my work. What I care about is what you're doing right now." How was it possible that she wasn't busy with her work? If she wasn't busy, she wouldn't delay the call to Edward until afternoon. In fact, she had been thinking all morning about one thing only; she felt it necessary to say thanks to him. But as she remembered what he had said to her earlier, she realized that a simple thanks would not be enough to show her gratitude towards him. Moreover, Edward might get angry at such formal etiquette. It was too complicated, and in the end, Daisy didn't blurt out anything.
