It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 933

"Babe, you're a senior colonel. How could you get angry at a loser like Jessica? But didn't you say there was an inspection? Wouldn't that require everyone to be on the base? Why would you be downtown?" After flattering her, Edward decided to satisfy his curiosity. He remembered that she told him she didn't have time to go out to lunch, that she'd grab something at the post-exchange on base. As for the post-exchange, Edward thought that was one of the worst retail stores he'd seen, but it didn't have to be posh. It had to be functional, as only active-duty personnel, retired military, and their families shopped there.

"Yeah. I got an assignment, a top-secret mission. It required me to go into town. And Kevin is there to take care of the inspection. And don't change the subject. Why was Jessica in your office today?" It was not that Daisy didn't believe him. She just wondered why Jessica would have confronted her that way, and said the oddest things.

"It's nothing. She wanted to threaten me with the stock of MY Mall. She thinks she can buy me out." Seeing that Daisy had calmed down, Edward was relieved. He knew Daisy, she had a hot temper. But it was easy to make her calm down if there was a good explanation that she thought was justified. And he was confident enough to pull this off and make her see things his way.

"Why does she have any stock of MY Mall at all? Can she really do anything?" Daisy didn't know much about business, so she had no idea how this could affect the FX International Group. Was Jessica a threat?

"It's okay. Everything's under control. Don't worry. Just protect yourself. I'll handle everything else." Edward knew women well. He understood how crazy a woman would become when she lost her head. He worried that Jessica might hurt Daisy when she became insane.

"You never give me a straight answer. Quit jerking me around. Is everything really okay with the company? If anything really happened, share it with me. We can find a solution together. I know I often tease you about being a profiteer, but I know this company is important to you. It affects me too, so let me in." Daisy frowned. With her serious expression together with the olive green uniform she wore, she looked more formidable now.

"Honey, do you ever worry about me losing everything?" Edward wiped the sweat from her forehead with a tissue. The weather was cold, so she shouldn't be sweating like that. She must really be upset.

"Sometimes. I've had thoughts that we might end up with my income only, and you might beg me to provide for you." Daisy sneered, pretty annoyed. Since he liked to entertain foolish thoughts, she'd humor him. What was the harm?

"Damn, honey. You can't abandon me if I really become poor. As the saying goes, 'A day together as husband and wife means endless devotion the rest of your life.' We're married now. But would you stay with me, even if I were a poor man?" Edward knew she was joking, but he couldn't help but pretend to be pitiful and complain with a somber look.
