It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 886

"Jesus Christ! Does God want me to die?" Rain walked out despondently without arguing further. He was desperate and decided to figure out a solution to deal with the manager in Thailand.

"What's wrong with him?" Daisy asked in surprise. She wondered why Rain was so pissed off that he stormed out of the room.

"He is just being silly, due to a lovesick." Edward stood up and stretched out his arms. He pulled Daisy closer. She had such a tall and slender figure.

"Oh. What are you doing? We are making a scene in your building and being stared at by your employees," Daisy said hesitantly. She shot a stealthy glance toward the door, relieved when she found the door closed. She was not accustomed to being hugged and kissed by her husband in public places.

"I haven't done anything embarrassing. I'm just embracing my dear wife. Do you want me to do something else instead?" Edward asked her. He grinned and bit his lips softly, tantalizing Daisy.

"Don't be vulgar." Daisy flushed with embarrassment. His open remarks and conducts always mortified her, even though it was only her husband suggesting them.

"I am only vulgar about it to you, my darling." Edward lowered his head, cupping Daisy's face in his hands as he kissed her. He didn't intend to start anything. However, Daisy melted in his arms, anticipating Edward's actions. At the same time, she was afraid that someone might enter the room unexpectedly and run into them.

"I must be very unlucky to be the victim of your obscenity." Daisy squirmed out of his arms and walked away. She sank into a couch that sat in the corner of the room, feeling fatigued after being all day in the court.

"Darling, obscenity is an inappropriate word for ladies. It is being widely used on the internet and has diverse meanings." Edward smiled wryly. He came over to sit down beside her. Daisy seemed to be in a bad mood today.

"Oh. I'm rather ignorant of what goes on on the Internet," Daisy answered listlessly. She rested her head on Edward's shoulder, happy to have her husband around whenever she was upset.

"What's wrong? How was your day at work?" Edward asked in concern. He pouted and pulled her closer to himself.

"Hero received a long jail sentence. I saw it happen in the court today," Daisy answered sadly. Daisy was a credible soldier and knew that being emotional did her no good. However, she had become acquainted with Hero and truly felt miserable for his fate.

"I see. How many years?" He kissed her forehead gently, glad that she had told him what was on her mind. It meant that she considered him as a reliable lover and husband. He clearly had become a necessary element in her life.

"He faces a twenty-year sentence. Since he was not involved with the nuclear weapons, he got off with a relatively ." Spending twenty years in prison would make anybody feel like they were in hell. Hero would be an old man by the time he finished his sentence and got discharged.

"That's too long. At least he will be able to live, even in a stinking prison." Edward finally knew why Hero had tried to commit suicide. A proud man like him would never want to be imprisoned in darkness, with his hands and feet chained. A quick death seemed better to him. Maybe that was exactly what had been in Hero's mind when he tried to end his life so ruthlessly.

"You are right. I hope he can repent for his sins and behave himself in prison. He might get an abatement in his penalty." She had not seen any of Hero's friends or family in the court. She certainly pitied his long sentence, but that was what you got when you broke the law and threatened the security of the nation and its people.

"Don't worry. He already attempted suicide once. He survived and realized the importance of life. Trust me on this: he will manage to live in that prison." Edward had mixed feelings about Daisy being upset about the destiny of another man. However, when he tried to put himself in Daisy's shoes, he understood how she felt. She was a soft-hearted and sympathetic woman, after all. So Edward decided to be magnanimous, although he would have preferred that Daisy didn't feel about Hero this way. Few men were as generous as Edward when it came to their wives.
