It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 673

"Are you here to laugh at me?" said Daisy, rolling her eyes. The bright smile on Edward's face, which she used to love so much, didn't seem to be very attractive to her today.

"No, mother asked me to come here and make sure that you have every drop of this soup. Hahaha." As Edward said this, he put his hand around Daisy's waist and pulled her closer to him. He was a little surprised to know that his fearless wife could be scared of having herbal soup. And he couldn't help but wonder what her soldiers would think of her if they found out about this weak spot of hers.

"I don't need your supervision. It's just a bowl of soup. Not a big deal for me." Finishing her words, Daisy took the bowl, closed her eyes and drank off the soup in one big gulp. Though it was done quickly, the taste of the soup lingered in her throat and made her want to vomit it all out. Just as she was about to push Edward away and find a bucket, she felt Edward's lips pressing against hers. Slowly, he grazed his teeth over her lips which soon drove away her nausea.

"Tastes not bad at all," commented Edward, as he withdrew from the kiss and licked his own lips. Daisy was standing there speechless. Edward just took advantage of her yet made it sound like he was doing her a favor. She wanted to scold him, but seeing his gorgeous face, especially with that playful, yet dazzling smile on it, she just couldn't help but fall for him yet again.

"Edward, I just found another trait of yours," Daisy said seriously, with a flicker of mystery and mockery in her eyes.

"Really? You are finally seeing something nice in me? What is it?" Hearing Daisy give him a compliment greatly boosted Edward's confidence. He was already feeling heady and euphoric.

"You are thick-skinned. Seriously, you are the most thick-skinned person I know," said Daisy, raising her eyebrows. Then she skilfully slipped out of his arms, as she had done lots of times in the past, and walked briskly past him and headed back to the living room.

It was Edward's turn to be in shock now. Rubbing his chin, he mused, 'She just set a trap for me without me even seeing through it. Nice move! But wait until tonight to see who is the boss here, and learn some lessons on how to pay a compliment to your husband.'

A family reunion always involved a lot of happy hours, especially at the dinner table where everybody enjoyed good food and long conversations.

"Lukie, have some more food. You seem to have lost a lot of weight lately." Luke was caught completely off guard. He almost choked on his food when he heard what Cynthia said. Immediately after Cynthia told Daisy that she was losing weight, she started making her herbal soup. Now, he was afraid that Cynthia might force him to drink that soup too.

"No, Mother, I haven't lost any weight. Moreover, I've put on a few pounds lately. So you don't have to cook me any soup," Luke said, defending himself. He even had a few dry coughs in an attempt to hide his nervousness from Cynthia. The last thing he wanted was to be forced by Cynthia to have herbal soup like Daisy.
