It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 708

"Did you ever try to contact Zemo after he left the military academy?" Edward wet his lips and rubbed his chin with his index finger. He was a bit nervous to hear the answer. Whether the answer was yes or no, he would be lost in various fancies and conjectures. He didn't want to demean himself by acting like a paranoid husband.

"Yes, I tried to contact him when I returned to the country, but I failed. Afterwards, I got so busy that I had to put Zemo out of my mind," Daisy answered as she gave a bitter smile. To be a good match for Edward, she had tried her best to improve herself and keep up with his pace. Then, she became even busier after she gave birth to Justin. As a result, she had had no time to look for Zemo.

"It sounds like you have a close relationship with him, huh?" Edward asked in a tentative manner, touching his nose in an attempt to cover up his nervousness.

"What exactly do you want to know?" Daisy asked with a frown. Edward was being really strange this evening. He was acting like a prevaricating woman.

"Nothing! It's just a casual question. I'm just curious about him," Edward retorted at once, dodging her sharp eyes. He didn't expect Daisy to notice his intentions. He was a little embarrassed and he didn't want her to get angry.

"Alright. Let me explain it to you this way, what do you think of my relationship with Belinda?" Daisy asked with a teasing smile, looking at Edward straight in the eye. She finally realized why he was acting so strange tonight. It turned out that he was jealous of Zemo.

"If she's in danger, you would risk your life to save her," Edward replied honestly. To be frank, he admired Daisy and Belinda's friendship. When he first met Belinda, she only showed disapproval and hostility towards him. He didn't know the reason why she did it at the beginning, but he realized later that she did it for Daisy. Believing that Edward had treated Daisy badly, she tried to defend Daisy in her own way.

"I have that same relationship with Zemo. Do you have any other questions?" Daisy often thought of the days she had spent with Belinda and Zemo. Belinda had given her bright smiles while Zemo had given her the warmth of family. As a result, when Zemo vanished from her life, she lost the warmth of a family and spent a period of her life in a blur.

"I have no more questions." Since Daisy already explained her relationship with Zemo, it would be inappropriate to keep asking about their past. But Edward couldn't get over how Daisy would risk her life to save Zemo when he was in danger. Her response did not quell the doubts he had, and he became more curious instead. As a smart person, Edward knew that he had to stop. If he kept asking about Zemo, Daisy would become displeased.

"I know what you're thinking about." Daisy didn't want to reveal his secret. Giving him a cold look, she stood up and walked past him.

"Honey, what am I thinking about? Tell me." Edward reached out his hand and pulled Daisy back into his arms.

"You know what you're thinking about. Why bother asking me?" They had been affectionate with each other countless times before. But every time Daisy and Edward were so close to each other, Daisy's heart would beat faster and her face would blush from the shyness.

"I don't know. That's why I'm asking you." Edward gazed at Daisy, eyes full of affection.

"Never mind. Tell me what happened to Luke." Daisy struggled out Edward's arms and sat on the sofa next to him. When she thought about it, Edward's trip to B Country was not as simple as it looked.

"Well... Do I really have to tell you?" Edward sighed as he stood up, before lying beside her and resting his head on her leg. He hadn't told her the truth because he didn't want her to worry about him. After all, it was all over and he got back safely. But Daisy was so stubborn that she would always find out the answer if she wanted to know something.
