It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 932

"And what crime it is to protect an officer? I've given them strict orders to protect you from afar, not to cause trouble." Edward creased his brows in worry. Seeing Daisy so angry, he started to realize that the situation was serious.

"Protecting me? Was that a joke? Or do you really think I need it? So I'm a weak and helpless girl, then? Do you even think I need any bodyguard?" Daisy retorted, rolling her eyes. Hearing that got her even angrier. Why would she possibly need other people to protect her? She was a capable woman, and also possessed great military prowess. If other people knew about her husband doing this they would have a good laugh. Daisy wasn't laughing. This could damage her rep.They'd say, what kind of senior colonel needed bodyguards? And her fame in the military circle would be gone.

"Honey, I meant well. As you know, Jessica has returned. And she is plotting something to set you up. I'm worried about you, and so I sent my guys over to make sure you're safe. I had to, because I can't even focus on my daily work." Edward wasn't so confident as he appeared with his explanation. It was indeed his fault not to tell her about his plans in advance. But everything he did was for her own good. He was hoping Daisy would accept his apology.

"I see. So you meant to say, I am not weak in your eyes, but stupid. Am I stupid enough to be set up by the same person twice?" Daisy retorted, looking at him coldly. Fortunately, earlier today, there were no other officers with her. Otherwise, it wouldhave been an even bigger deal. After all, it was against the law to spy on an officer, because there was a lot of potential for military secrets to be leaked.

"There's always a chance that she might try something. What if she caught you off-guard, and succeeded? Don't forget about last time accident. You can't be too careful." Edward knew how to take advantage of pitch and tone to be persuasive, and he intentionally spoke in a gentle timbre to allay her anger.

"You also said that it happened before. No one is stupid enough to make the same mistake over and over again, unless that person is nuts." Daisy gave him a cold look, fighting the impulse to hit him. If her stalker hadn't called out "Mrs. Mu" in time, she would have broken his neck on the spot. She was carrying out a secret mission today, but Edward almost ruined it.

"You're so right, baby! But come on, have a cup of water and take a break. It's not worth it to get so steamed over my mistake." Seeing her dry lips, Edward picked up his cup, and offered some water to Daisy. He wasn't going to try and argue with his angry wife, but tried to butter her up.

"Edward Mu! Are you saying I'm overreacting?" Rage-filled, Daisy vented her anger. The fire inside her was stoked again, as Edward's words reminded her of Jessica. She didn't know how Edward felt about the woman, but didn't want her husband to go anywhere near her. She was very displeased to see Jessica hanging around FX International.
