It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 521

"Hello. This is Daisy Ouyang." When the phone rang, Daisy picked it up without checking who was calling. She fixed her eyes on the latest missile test data displayed on her computer. She didn't tear her eyes from the screen when she answered the phone.

"It's me. Are you free at noon? How about having lunch together?" Leo finally made up his mind to call Daisy. He no longer trusted any data provided by others, so he had to collect Daisy's DNA in person.

"What's wrong?" Daisy finally turned her gaze and listened to this familiar voice attentively. She sneered, 'Have lunch together? You must be kidding. We are on bad terms. Why should I eat any kind of meal with you?'

"Really? You can't even let your old man take you out to lunch? How rude." Daisy kept Leo at arm's length, which annoyed him. Leo thought she should show her due respect as he was her elder.

"The tension between us is palpable. Do you think we could dine together calmly?" It was presumptuous of Leo to think Daisy was rude. Years ago, Leo denied that Daisy was his daughter and kicked her out. Given what he did, Daisy thought he didn't deserve any respect. Her bitter suffering gave her no illusions. She had given up on Leo, so she didn't need to be nice to him.

"Just tell me if you have time. Nothing else!" Leo didn't want to snarl at Daisy, but what Daisy said made him fly into a rage. His heart pounded, face flushed -- he needed to blow off steam.

"I can't make it at noon. The army base is pretty far from the downtown area. I still have to work this afternoon. But we can have dinner together. Wherever you want is okay. I see no reason to refuse, really. I'm bighearted like that."

Daisy said in a sarcastic tone. She knew Leo must be up to something and would hurt her again.

"Okay. Let's meet at Westin Western Restaurant. I'll wait for you there." Leo hung up the phone immediately without waiting for Daisy's answer. He was afraid that Daisy would change her mind.

A faint sneer crossed Daisy's face. She put the phone aside and went on with her work. She quickly dismissed all thoughts of Leo from her mind. Her calm look seemed to suggest that she never got his call.

"Colonel, bad news! Our soldiers are fighting with Hank's." Daisy was immersed in her work when Mark rushed in, gulping for air.

"What? Why? What the hell is wrong with that guy?" Daisy sprang to her feet. As she told Hank, she was sympathetic to him but unable to stop any demerits he got. Why did he start yet another fight?

"Hank isn't involved in this. They started to fight with each other in the middle of a chat. Everything is spinning out of control, so I have to turn to you." Mark followed closely after Daisy. The platoon leaders and company commanders were also involved in the fight, so Mark had to ask Daisy for help.

"Damn it! Why would they fight with each other over a few words? I haven't drilled them for long, so they have nothing to do but stir up trouble!" Daisy said angrily. She stormed to the training ground. It was time for physical training, but the soldiers were not training there. They were breathing hard, some in fighting stance, some wrestling on the ground, some with their hair and uniform in disarray.

"Well, shit." Daisy often said the four-letter word in the base, so Mark wasn't surprised. However, when he lived in Edward's house, he witnessed Daisy's aristocratic and elegant life, so it seemed very out of place.

"What are you doing here?" Daisy stopped at the sight of Edward, who had a fascinating smile on his face. She looked Edward up and down with a frown. Mark didn't expect that and bumped into Daisy. Daisy turned back and glared at him, which made him break out in cold sweat.

"What? Aren't I allowed here?" Edward stepped forward elegantly. He playfully stared at the woman who was shocked by his appearance.
