It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 696

"I also sense it. Actually, you shouldn't be mad at my brother. Rachel is nobody. Are you afraid that you might lose?" asked Leena knowingly. She bet that Belinda would take the bait for a dare.

"Bullshit! "I'm not afraid. I just don't want to be looked down upon because of her. That's all." Belinda roared with laughter. Rachel meant nothing to her. However, Duke's attitude was another thing entirely. She cared what he thought.

"You're right. There's no need to worry about all this BS." Leena was sitting at the table sipping lemonade, with a sly smile.

"Silly, do you call that BS? Well, forget about it. I can't be serious with you. I might go crazy. By the way, why are you so mischievous while your brother's so dull and boring?" It finally occurred to Belinda that arguing with Leena was a waste of time and energy, since she could never be reasonable.

"He's not boring or dull, My brother's cool, ok? What's wrong with you?" Leena's mouth twitched slightly, with a mocking smile flashing on her face. She was definitely teasing Belinda and defending Mr. Cold.

Daisy sipped her jasmine tea with pleasure. Watching those two girls arguing and chattering, Daisy felt her life was perfect right now. She had a family who loved her, several good friends in whom she could confide, and plenty of leisure time. She was happy, and had felt this way almost every day recently.

At that moment, her mobile phone rang, jarring her back to reality. She picked it up and put a smile on her face, answering the call.

"Daisy, are you finished? Should I come pick you up now?" She heard Edward's attractive voice on the line, which warmed her heart once again.

"I was gonna call you. I'll be back later than I expected. So, you might need to have dinner without me," answered Daisy. Daisy looked at those two women who had stopped arguing and were now staring at her nervously. Daisy knew what they were thinking about. They were afraid that Edward might disagree.

"Are you still out shopping?" asked Edward. He leaned the chair back lazily, dropped his pen, and his brow furrowed, sullen.

"No, we're done with shopping already. We will go to a pub and have some fun. Are you ok with this?" Daisy tensely asked. She sensed Edward's displeasure from his voice.

"If I don't like this idea, will you come home right now? Will you listen to me?" Edward stood up from the chair, walked to the window, and looked down at the cars on the street. This city was really such a dynamic and prosperous one.

"What do you think?" Daisy could imagine that Edward must be frowning with those caring eyes.

"So whether I agree or not, you'll do it anyway. You've already made up your mind, so why ask me?" said Edward with a mocking smile He wouldn't deserve his title as 'the only person who understood her' if he had no clue about what was on her mind.

"I'm sorry. As you know, something happened today." Daisy knew that Edward was already aware of the reason. At lunch, Duke and Belinda were acting weird, so he figured something must have been wrong.

"Alright, I know. Be careful and text me the address of the pub when you're there. Then I'll pick you up when you're ready to leave." Edward knew that Daisy was Belinda's best friend, so he wouldn't object.

"Don't bother. I can call a taxi. It'll be more convenient for both of us," Daisy insisted. Daisy never thought of herself as a little girl needing extra care and protection. So, without hesitation she refused her husband.

"Now you've got two options. Come back home right now, or tell me the address," said Edward, pissed off by Daisy's stubbornness and ungratefulness. Edward's concern was well-justified. Girls could lose control and become quite vulnerable when they were drunk. Besides, he had known Daisy's tolerance for liquor for some time now. So, he was worried about whether a drunken Daisy could come back home safe and sound.
