It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 968

"Do I need to guess that? You don't like owing anybody anything. So I can imagine how you felt at that time," Edward said. He smiled bitterly. Sometimes it was not pleasant when a person was like an open book to him.

"I admit, I got emotional during today's training session. That's looked down upon in the job of a solider. It's risky to get emotional in a dangerous situation, and very important for a soldier to be psychologically strong," Daisy said. Daisy looked Edward in the eye. She had never gotten emotional during work before, because she knew about the tremendous risk better than any other of her colleagues. However, what she learnt today was really shocking. So, she was kind of beside herself today.

"How about now? Aren't you getting personal now too?" Edward evaded her gaze. Being stared at so intensely by Daisy made him confused and bewildered. He didn't know how to persuade her to make the right decision. Besides, his perception of Zemo had changed. Although he didn't like him, Edward had learnt to be polite to him, because he had saved Daisy's life. Edward was always a grateful person when it came to his wife.

"Are you referring to me leaving the army?" Daisy asked. Her mouth quivered. She had to refrain from sobbing whenever she thought about quitting her active military service.

"What do you think?" Edward retorted. He glanced at Daisy. Although he would be glad if Daisy gave up her career in the army, he also refused to force her to do anything she disliked. She liked her job too much to quit, and he wanted to respect her wishes. Edward hoped that Daisy always felt respected and loved by her husband and family.

"Don't you want it to happen? If it happens, you won't have to worry about my safety any longer!" Daisy answered, exasperated. Originally she had chosen this path for the sake of her husband. But now, her work seemed to have increased obstacles and it had started to worry Edward. She would give it up if that meant it reduced his anxieties.

"So according to you, your husband is that selfish? You really think l will force you to give up something you love so much, just so I'm happy?" Edward snapped. He could be the most obstinate and unyielding man sometimes.

"You are misunderstanding me terribly. Forget it. We better drop this topic right now. We can discuss it tomorrow. By the way, where is Tom? Is he home already?" Daisy asked him, in an attempt to change the topic. She felt desperate and helpless. It was clearly hard to talk to her husband reasonably on this subject.

"Actually, we should settle this dispute as soon as possible. Prolonging this conversation will do us no good," Edward said. He had no intention of letting her drop this conversation, as he fixed his eyes on her face intently.

"But you will disagree with me, no matter which kind of choice I make, won't you?!" Daisy was annoyed with Edward's persistence. She was a mere human, not God! She couldn't satisfy Edward in every way.
