It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 563

"Remember what I said this morning? Do you still want to hear it?" Edward took her hand in his and settled her on his lap, wrapping his long and slim arms around her waist. But he dared not look into her clear dark eyes, where he could see the reflection of a cruel man, a man who was about to tell her the harsh truth.

"If you are able to speak it out, then I'd love to hear it. But if you are unwilling to talk about it, I won't force you to." Daisy was quite relaxed as she rested against his chest. She was very eager to know everything. But if Edward didn't want to tell her about it, she wouldn't make things difficult for him. She left it to him to make the decision.

"I'm not worried about myself, I'm worried about you. If the news will cause you pain, do you still want to hear it?" He bowed and kissed her head gently. He never found himself to be an indecisive man. But he would always have trouble making up his mind when it came to matters that concerned Daisy. He would make every effort to make things less difficult for her every time. But every time, he found himself helpless to do nothing but watch her suffer in the end. To be honest, he often hated himself in those cases. He loved her deeply, yet he could not protect her from all harm. Most of the time, he could only watch her struggle painfully and shoulder the burden that had already become too heavy for her.

"It sounds like it concerns me. And judging from your serious tone, is it safe to assume that something bad has happened?" Daisy asked, turning her face towards Edward all of a sudden. She looked him straight in the eye. Her gaze was full of innocence, as if she was earnestly trying to decipher the answer in his eyes.

"Yes. Can you promise me that you will trust me and leave everything to me? Can you promise to restrain yourself and never put yourself in harm's way?" Edward asked gravely. He didn't refuse to meet her gaze. After all, he never tried to hide the truth from her. But his grave expression somehow disconcerted Daisy. She was beginning to think that it might be something she would never want to know, something that might depress her. Unconsciously, she suddenly wanted to escape from the truth.

"Can I choose not to hear it now?" Daisy started to regret it. She shouldn't have left the decision to him when she had no clue what he was about to tell her. Could it possible be the news that he no longer loved her? Or did he regret about their whole relationship after being with her all this time? Either way, Daisy just couldn't accept it. If he must confide this cruel truth to her now, she would rather that he had never raised her hopes and loved her in the first place. That way, at the very least, she could still draw comfort from her desire and pursuit. It was far better than gaining the love she yearned for, only to lose it completely.
