It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 875

"Don't rush, Shaun. I have got a question for you, Mr. Mu. Have you bought this necklace?" Melissa asked with curiosity. She eyed the delicate gift box in Edward's hand with admiration.

"Yes, I have. Do you have any other questions to ask, Miss Xue?" Edward turned his head to look at Melissa. The wry smile on his face lingered.

"How do you know my name?" Melissa asked in shock. She never introduced herself to Edward, and thought that she had been doing well in hiding her real identity from him. 'Has he had me investigated already? Could that explain Rain's unusual behavior that day?' she wondered. 'If it weren't true, why would Rain have come to me and started rambling?'

"I heard Manager Chen call you that name. Am I wrong? Is your family name not Xue?" Edward asked, pretending innocence on purpose. That was his style. At first he let his opponent breathe a sigh of relief, then he delivered the deadly blow unexpectedly.

"No, Mr. Mu. You're not wrong. My family name is Xue," she explained herself in haste. She looked at Edward in panic.

"If that's the case, I'm glad to meet you, Miss Xue," Edward replied sincerely. His smile was charming, as if he had no idea that she was actually Jessica. A stranger might think that Edward was being respectful to a lady he had met for the first time. However, Jessica knew him too well to be fooled by his fake kindness. He must be trying very hard to control his anger in public. She still intended to buy that necklace, but didn't dare suggest it. She doubted Shaun had seen through Edward's trick.

"Mr. Mu, as it is you who bought that necklace, you can just give it to us. What's the point of arguing with us?" Shaun asked him. He was eager to find new ammunition to fire at Edward.

"I bought it for my wife. I am sorry that I am unable to satisfy your wishes," Edward answered. He clenched his fists slowly, determined to gift this necklace to Daisy. Nobody could successfully prevent him from doing so.

"There are so many other jewelries for sale here. Why can't you pick another one for your wife?" Shaun repeated what Manager Chen had suggested to him before Edward had come to confront him. As far as he was concerned, a wife was easily pleased by any piece of jewelry. There was no need to pick a fight over a necklace. He looked at Edward suspiciously, wondering why he cared for his wife so much if he could have loads of mistresses to play around with. He was truly a mystery to Shaun.

"I must have this necklace because it's best suited for my wife. I should leave now," Edward replied briefly. He was satisfied that the incident had been well dealt with and he had no intention of staying to argue with them further. He turned around and walked away without noticing the mixed expression on Melissa's face. She was upset at how Daisy was his first priority. He had forgotten about Jessica and their love completely. What had she gotten from Edward? Nothing, except for a few years of memories and some moments of joy.

"Melissa, what is wrong with you? Do you still want that necklace or not? Forget it, it's not good enough for you. I'll buy the most expensive one in town for you. Let us leave this damn store and go to another one," Shaun said, not knowing what was running through her mind. After being treated so condescendingly by Edward, Shaun felt terribly embarrassed in front of his woman. He wanted to cheer her up.

"Never mind. Let's go back. I'm tired," Melissa said listlessly. She bit her lip, on the verge of tears. She felt miserable upon knowing that Edward still valued Daisy so much. She didn't think he could love a woman for this long. Clearly, she had misjudged Edward's personality and his loyalty to his wife.

"Darling, wait up," Shaun said anxiously. He caught up with Melissa, wishing to say something but stopped from doing so on second thought.

"Tell me what you are thinking," Melissa asked him bluntly. Although Melissa felt disappointed, depressed and confused, she was still rational enough to sense that Shaun had an odd expression on his face.

"Do you hate Edward Mu only because he ruined your family? Are you hiding something from me? It didn't seem like he knows you at all." Shaun shot her a curious glance. 'If Melissa and Edward know each other already, why were they acting like strangers back at the store?' Shaun wondered.
