It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 529

Unlike Edward who was always late, Daisy was a stickler for punctuality. She arrived at the restaurant right on time.

Leo was already there waiting for her. Daisy strode confidently toward him. She looked fabulous with her neat uniform and her pretty face. Ordinarily she didn't wear a military uniform when she was off duty. If she was going out, she wore civilian clothes, and how dressy she looked was dependent on the situation. She always avoided being the center of attention. But of late she went to the Mu's house directly after work and so now she was still in her uniform.

"There you are, Daisy. I thought I'd have to wait longer for you. Come and sit down." Leo said in an almost unctuous way, considering that it would ruin his wholesome image if he had a fight with her here in public. What's more, he hadn't gotten what he wanted yet.

"Punctuality is a basic principle for soldiers. I didn't expect you to be here so early. Sorry to keep you waiting." Daisy's voice was polite, but cold as if the man sitting opposite her was not her father but a complete stranger.

"Check out the menu and order whatever you want. The food's great here." Leo handed her the menu with a graceful smile on his face all the time. He behaved throughout like a perfect gentleman.

"I will have the steak medium well and vegetable salad. Thanks!" Daisy said in fluent English without checking the menu. She was quite familiar with western cuisine, thanks to all those years spent training at JC Military Academy.

"Okay. Coming right up." The waitress was a pretty foreign girl. She nodded to Daisy and left.

"So why did you ask me to come here?" Daisy pressed her lips together and gave a sideways glance to the man sitting in front of her. A ghost of a mocking smile flickered across her lips.

"Nothing special. I just want to have dinner with you," Leo said, and his eyes fell on the hat Daisy put aside on the table. He was trying to find a way to get a DNA specimen from her. It would be convenient if he could get a hair from her hat.

"Do you believe that yourself?" Daisy asked and smiled, with a look that said she didn't believe his words at all.

"Am I such a horrible person in your eyes?" Leo managed to swallow his anger. He never understood why Daisy was always contentious and made their relation tense all the time.

"Ah. I'm no judge. You should know what you're like. Don't forget, God is always watching," Daisy said casually and toyed with the glass in her hand. She didn't care if he was a horrible person or not. She knew he was not a dutiful father and that was enough.

"Could I have a look at your hat?" Leo decided to ignore the defiance in her tone and focused on the hat.

"Huh… that's okay, but…" Daisy frowned a little, surprised by his request. But she handed him her hat all the same, confused why he would be interested in the hat.

"Don't worry. I just want a look. I won't break it." As soon as Leo got the hat, he inspected the hat carefully yet he couldn't find a single hair in it. When he realized it, his fluttering heart dropped like cold lead in his chest.

"I'm not worried about that. It's not easy to break a military hat. I'm just surprised that you are interested in a hat." Daisy was very confident about the quality of the hat. After all it was military grade.

"Oh… It's just that I have never gotten to know a soldier. So I'm curious." Leo didn't find what he wanted and felt quite disappointed. But right before he decided to return the hat he spotted something. Without causing any attention, He picked up a single hair hidden in the seam carefully and handed the hat back to Daisy. After he put the hair in a plastic package and sealed it under the table, a bright smile crept back on his face again.

"Spit it out. What do you want?" Daisy didn't believe a single word Leo had said. He had been cold and ruthless to her all these years. There was no reason he would change his attitude and invite her for dinner all of a sudden. This was quite out of character for him.
