It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 85

Daisy found Justin asleep when she walked in. She sat beside the bed, looking at Justin with a loving smile on her face.

She had always thought that her little boy had never asked about his dad because it didn't matter to him. But when she saw how excited, and eager Justin got to spend time with Edward tonight, she realized how wrong she had been.

She realized that Justin had always wanted his dad. But he hid his desire for a father deep inside his heart to avoid letting her down. Being so considerate at such a young age truly moved Daisy. Justin was the only and most precious gift that God had sent to her.

Daisy extended her hand to stroke his peacefully sleeping face. Her heart filled with a flood of emotions. She was glad to have Justin's company in the lonely life she had been leading for many years.

Daisy bent down to kiss his forehead. She adjusted the temperature of the air conditioner before leaving the room. As she quietly closed the door, she ran into a pair of dark deep-set eyes.

Daisy felt disconcerted for a second, and she quickly turned away to avoid the enquiring eyes.

Edward was shocked to see her ignoring him and bypassing him like he didn't even exist. He found her growingly unpredictable. Was she playing hard-to-get with him again?

The truth is, Daisy wasn't as aloof as she appeared. She ignored him only because she didn't want him to see the melancholy in her heart.

Edward frowned and headed to the study. His face lit up when he saw the new furniture in the study. He didn't expect that a new desk would make the room look so warm.

Edward went to the desk and looked through the books lying on it. They were all based on military themes. There were comments and suggestions written on every page. He discerned that Daisy had strong opinions when it came to military matters.

As Daisy walked out of the bathroom with wet hair, she was surprised to see Edward in the study. She thought he was downstairs having his dinner. What was he doing here?

Edward looked at her hair and frowned; then he left the room without saying anything.

Daisy wondered what mistake had she made now to offend him again. Shaking her head, she decided not to be bothered and sat down to look into the books.

Suddenly, she sensed a soft towel covered her head, and her long wet hair were being gently rubbed. Daisy turned around and looked at Edward in surprise.

"Don't move." Edward continued and turned her head back.
