It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 672

"Is everything all right with you?" asked Jonathan as soon as he saw Edward entering the house. Though his men had already informed him that both Edward and Luke were safe, he still couldn't be sure of it. He might not have noticed it but it was evident that he was unable to take his eyes off his son ever since he came back. This wasn't his usual self. Jonathan too wasn't used to behaving like this.

"Luke has got a few injuries, but we are all right," replied Edward, putting down Justin. He then walked toward his father and sat down. He always wondered how his father managed to look this young even after all these years. It seemed like ages had forgotten to leave any traces on him. If they ever walked on the street side by side, nobody would believe that they were actually father and son.

"That's good. Next time you go abroad, always remember to keep your guard up in order to avoid getting into a dangerous situation like this one." Just like any other parent in the world, Jonathan too was genuinely worried about his son's safety every time he got out of his sight.

"Yes, father. I have learnt my lesson well this time. And I promise it won't happen again." Now that he had the time to reflect on what just happened back in B Country, Edward admitted that, to a large extent, it was because he had underestimated his opponents that he and Luke were ambushed. Though he felt a little embarrassed to still need his father's help at this age, he was thankful that everyone around him was safe at this moment.

Standing just a few steps away, Daisy was furrowing her brows. She heard them talk, and was wondering why Edward didn't tell her what had happened to him while apparently his father knew it all. From their conversation she understood that something very critical had happened when Edward and Luke were in B Country, and that they had asked Jonathan for help. It must be very serious. Luke's injures confirmed her speculation.

"Daisy, sweetheart. Is everything all right? I called you several times but you didn't seem to hear me," Cynthia said, waving her hand in front of Daisy. She was a little worried to see Daisy not saying anything but standing in the center of the living room. She looked completely lost in her thoughts.

"Oh, I'm sorry, mother. I was absentminded. Were you asking me of anything? Do you need any help?" Daisy replied, as she immediately gathered her thoughts and tried to force a smile.

"No. I was just checking on you. You have been standing here still for a while. You look tired. Is everything okay with you?" Cynthia shot a glance at what Daisy was looking at and noticed that Daisy was continually looking in the direction where Edward and his father were having a conversation. Cynthia failed to understand what was bothering Daisy.

"Yes, I'm fine. Don't worry about me." Daisy got red with embarrassment as now she had the attention of everyone in the room.

"All right. Go and have a bowl of the soup I prepared especially for you. It's in the kitchen. Look how thin you have become. And to think that you have to put up with all that work everyday..." Cynthia loved Daisy as her own daughter. Her heart ached every time she saw Daisy's tired face.

"Granny, can I have some too?" Though he didn't know what kind of soup it was, Justin was already excited to try it. In fact, as a food fan, any food would intrigue him just as much.

"No, you can't! It's for women only, sweetheart," rejected Cynthia directly. She had added a few kinds of herbs in the soup which would help women regulate their metabolism and thereby improve their overall health. However, Daisy was horrified when she was asked to have that herbal soup. She hurriedly shot a pitiful look toward Edward and hoped that he would help her talk his mother out of the idea. Herbal soup tasted horrendous. Besides, Daisy thought that she was perfectly healthy, and therefore didn't need anything to make her healthier.

"Don't look at me. Didn't you hear what mother just said? The soup is for women only. I am a man, so leave me out of this," replied Edward, shrugging his shoulder. He understood Daisy's SOS signal, but since it was his mother who demanded, there was nothing he could do about it.

Not only was Edward not helping, but his words intensified Daisy's awkwardness. She wished that she hadn't asked him for any help and wondered if he was deliberately playing a trick on her. Lucky for her, she had a great relationship with her mother-in-law, or these words from Edward might have started a big feud in the family.
