It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 738

"What, are you mad at me?" Daisy asked, taking a few quick steps forward in an attempt to grab Edward by the arm. To her surprise, he shook her hand off as soon as she touched him.

"Do you have any idea why I'm mad at you?" Edward stopped abruptly in his tracks. He turned to shoot Daisy a cold glare before he resumed storming off upstairs. The dim light from the hallway on the second floor cast his elongated shadow upon Daisy, whose heart sank at the obvious distaste in his tone.

"How would I know? You've always been so unpredictable," Daisy murmured to herself, increasing her pace to try to catch up with Edward.

"Don't think that I can't hear you. I'm not deaf," Edward said in sharp tone. He pushed the door of their bedroom open and walked directly to the window with his back to Daisy, who was trailing a few close steps behind him. A few moments of stony silence immediately filled the room.

"What is the matter with you, Edward? I told you that I was having dinner with someone and you said you were okay with that. What are you giving me shit for? It was only dinner with an old friend. For Christ's sake, will you grow up and deal with it like a man?"

Daisy's anger flared up. She had never been a pushover. The only reason she put up with a lot things she hated and gave way to Edward was because she felt that she owed him. As a military officer, she was always on call, ready to grab her coat and head out to deal with all kinds of emergencies. For that reason, she had to sacrifice a lot of time with her family. It was true that she had been working hard to balance her work and her family, but she didn't want a relationship in which her efforts weren't recognized or appreciated.

"Yes, I'm okay with you going out to have dinner with your friend, but I'm not okay with you staying out so late and not even calling me once to let me know that you're all right! Fine, I can move on from that. But when you finally showed up, you ignored me in favor of having pleasant conversation with another man. I saw you smiling brightly at him while I was just a few feet away - like I didn't even exist at all! How do you expect me to feel about that? Should I be happy?"

Edward gritted through clenched teeth. He glared Daisy in fury, as if he wanted to consume her at any minute. He wouldn't have exploded if Daisy hadn't told him to 'grow up and deal with it like a man'. He loved her so much that he just couldn't pretend to be indifferent about what had happened.

"What did you expect me to do? Tell him directly to piss off right after he dropped me off at home instead of thanking him? Do you have any idea what other people would have thought of you if I had done that?" Daisy retorted indignantly, looking back at Edward right in the eye. She knew that Edward was very angry right now, but she wouldn't take this lying down. Her actions were justified and she did nothing wrong.
