It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 77

"Szechuan cuisine? It's not my favorite, but I don't hate it either. Why did you bring it up? Do you want Szechuan?" Edward turned round, and gazed at Daisy. He was surprised. Why would a woman like her enjoy spicy foods? How many hidden layers did she have? Oh, she was almost like a book. The more he read, the more he was intrigued by the plot.

"Just teasing. The weather is so hot now. The Szechuan cuisine fits winter." Daisy preferred spicy food, but she had to consider what was best for Justin.

"You naughty girl." Edward chuckled when he heard the answer. He rubbed the tip of her nose, and gazed meaningfully into her eyes.

Edward always liked to rub the tip of her nose. Daisy wasn't sure she liked that. While it could be an innocent sign of affection, she felt that he treated her like a little girl.

Suddenly, Edward's phone rang, playing a popular love song. Before answering, he helped Daisy fix her hair, which was blown wild by the wind. Without missing a beat, he took out his phone.

"Yes? What's up, Duke?" Edward frowned when he saw Duke on the caller ID. Duke didn't come to him for help often, and when he did it was something big.

"Edward, have you heard from Leena recently?" Duke's sounded anxious.

"No. Isn't she in Paris? What happened?" Edward was puzzled. Was she in trouble? Or had she caused any?

"She's not in Paris. I haven't heard from her since yesterday. I called her hotel, but she had checked out. And she's not home yet. I thought she might be in contact with you somehow..." Duke's heart was torn. No one but his little sister could do this to him.

"Calm down, man. I'll get my men right on it. If we find her, you'll be the first to know." Edward knew how important Leena was to Duke. Duke's mother died after giving birth to Leena Leng. Duke cherished his little sister a lot -- she was all he had left of their mother.

"Thank you. Take a look at the reservations and guest histories in your hotels. If Leena checked in, she might have used the Dragblac Card. If she did, you could find the records." Although very anxious, Duke wasn't flustered at all. He always was the picture of calm during an emergency.

"I'll have a look. Let's find out whether she has checked in or not." Dragblac Card was the VVIP card in Edward's hotel chain. Few possessed it, one of whom was Leena Leng. It was not hard to trace.

"Okay, thanks, Edward." Duke rarely said thank you, but he'd say it a million times to anyone who helped him find his Leena.

"Don't mention it. She's also my sister." Edward was an only child. So he always treated that beautiful little girl as his own sister. He was protective of her.
