It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 644

"Oh honey, it's you. I was going to call you. Didn't expect you to call me first. Wait a minute, why are you using Mark's phone?" Edward had a long day involving a lot of travel, so he was completely exhausted. After his plane landed, he rushed to cater to some urgent business matters and then headed to his hotel immediately. As soon as he entered the room of the hotel, he got a call from Daisy. Before even putting down the bags in his hands, he answered the call.

"Well, that's a good question. You know what the irony is? For the past couple of hours, I've being trying to reach you with my own phone, but couldn't get through. And now, when I tried with Mark's phone, it worked! Care to explain why?" questioned Daisy grumpily. Though Mark was sitting near her, Daisy was unable to resist the rage, so she ignored Mark and snapped at Edward. She had been trying to call him all night, but all she got was voice mail recordings. She even started having those weird thoughts that something bad might have happened to Edward.

"You must have gotten really worried. I am sorry. After the plane landed, I rushed to deal with some emergencies here. I know this is bad excuse and I should have called you sooner. I am sorry Daisy, I really am. Please don't cry. You are an army woman, remember? You don't want others to see you like this, right?"

Hearing Daisy cry made Edward feel guilty. He realized that his carelessness had frightened his wife. She was a really strong woman. It must have been immensely torturous for her to be unable to reach him for the whole night, or she wouldn't have lost her composure like that.

"I don't care what other people think about me. Where are you?" asked Daisy with teary eyes. Last night was like a complete nightmare to her. When she couldn't get through her husband's number, she panicked. What's worse, she had absolutely no clue about the destination of Edward's trip. At that moment, she swore to herself that she wouldn't let that happen ever again.

"I am in B Country right now. It's said to be one of the largest diamond producing countries. Have you ever been here before?" asked Edward with a wry smile on his face. He never thought Daisy could be so demanding. Edward always thought of her as a strong, independent and organized woman, who was sometimes a bit aloof. But when she suddenly nagged him about the whereabouts, Edward realized that Daisy was no different from any other married women.

"You also have a diamond business?" Daisy was a little shocked to realize that she didn't really know much about her husband's business. She never really bothered to ask Edward about the areas in which he was investing, the number of sectors in his company, the type and variety of assets in his company or the number of employees. She literally knew nothing.

"Yes. FX International Group has a diamond mining base here in B Country." When the conversation drifted to a slightly lighter topic, Edward untied his tie and tossed it casually on the sofa. Since Daisy wasn't around, he believed it was okay to be a little casual and imperfect for a while.

"Edward, now that I think of it, I realize that I have never really taken interest in your work. You must think of me as a lousy wife, no?" This was one of the best qualities of Daisy. She never shied away from accepting her fault. Perhaps this was something Edward admired the most about Daisy. Minutes back, she was firing him for not calling her and now she was all gentle and accepting.
