It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 541

"Yes, Mr. Mu. I understand." The corner of Luke's mouth twitched. A rare smile appeared across his stern face. Even though it disappeared in an instant, it was already a miracle for it to happen. He was usually so reserved that he wouldn't even say unnecessary words. Witnessing him smile was quite a luxury.

Having confirmed the origin of the necklace, Edward didn't need to stay any longer and quickly returned downtown. Since he now knew everything that he needed to know, the next step would be to come up with a plan to bring Yakira to justice.

"Luke, are there any developments on Yakira's side?" Edward leaned back against his seat lazily, like a resting leopard waiting to pounce.

He looked attractive and charming with his handsome and sly appearance.

"Mr. Mu, according to reliable sources, Leo is trying to divorce her. We haven't found out exactly why." While driving the car, Luke turned his head to glance at Edward. He had long gotten used to his roguish young master but despite being a man, his heart still couldn't help skipping a few beats whenever he saw Edward like this.

"Oh! Is that so? Could it be that Leo has discovered something already? I wonder how different his findings are from what we have." Edward stared at the traffic outside. Faint sarcasm slowly appeared in his smile like a poppy flower that no one would discard.

"I heard from the people working for them that Leo went straight to the Judicial Expertise Center after his dinner with Mrs. Mu. It's not certain if these two events are related." Luke spoke calmly. He never sent anyone to tail Daisy. He only had his people watch the actions of the Ouyang family. It was only a coincidence that he learned that Daisy had a meal with Leo.

"Yes, I know. Daisy mentioned meeting with Leo when she came back the other day. But I didn't realize Leo's true purpose. What I want to know is how he was able to acquire a sample from my wife." Edward found it interesting that Leo never believed the documents he provided him. What happened this time? What made him so interested in seeking the answer himself? The question puzzled Edward.

"I'm not sure, since we didn't get near them at that time. Are we heading home right now?" Luke frowned. He was worried that Daisy would discover that his people were following Leo. When he learned that Leo was meeting her, Luke didn't approach any closer and only observed from afar.

"Yes, let's head back. I already made up an excuse earlier today. It wouldn't be good to go home late." It was already late in the afternoon. When Edward got back from the amusement park, he immediately took a shower and left with Luke. It was about time that he went home for dinner. If he was still living alone like before, his cold home would be the last place he'd want to return to. But everything was different now. Edward's precious family was waiting for him.

"Mr. Mu, are you going to tell Mrs. Mu about this?" Luke pursed his lips. Although the elders always reiterated that he also belonged to the Mu family, he couldn't shake the habit of addressing Edward that way. It was a practice deeply ingrained in him, like eating and sleeping everyday. It was impossible for him to change.

"Yes, I'm also thinking about it. I'm not sure if she could handle the news." Edward let out a soft sigh as he spoke. His face was full of worry. His beloved Daisy consistently maintained a tough facade, but she had quite the delicate heart. If she found out about all this, he wasn't certain if she could keep her cool. She wouldn't pick up a gun and go shooting people, would she? But Edward didn't dare entertain the possibility on account of her past violence towards him, which she didn't seem hesitant to inflict in any way.

Luke fell silent at Edward's words. His young master was concerned with the same thing as he was. Daisy could be merciless in front of her soldiers, but she was just like any other woman when she changed out of her austere military attire, a sensitive woman.

"But we can't just keep this under wraps forever. She will find out eventually. I figure it's best that we tell her before she senses something on her own. Otherwise, you're definitely going to be in trouble." Luke calmly analyzed the possible scenarios with Daisy. From his observation on the way that Edward and Daisy treated each other, Edward would absolutely get the short end of the stick in the end.

"Nobody's arguing that. I'll tell her soon." Edward wasn't oblivious to the possible situation that Luke hinted at. But he knew that no matter what happened, Daisy would always give him a chance. And that would be his most powerful defense.

Home did not equate to a tall building, a fancy car, or a big house. Home was a sense of belonging from deep within. It was an intimate dependence that demanded being cared for and being needed. Once you left this realm, your heart would be unsettled along with the departure. And at this moment, that was where Leo was standing.

Looking down from the top of his office building, Leo never felt so estranged from the rest of the world. He felt too isolated to even find his way home.

A familiar chime suddenly rang. Leo picked up his phone from the desk behind him and took a brief look. His gloomy day improved slightly, and he was no longer lost in his sorrow.
