It'll Come Naturally

Chapter 81 It's Daddy And Uncle Luke

"We're headed for the base. We were about to call Mark, have him meet us here. But we saw you first." Evidently, Kevin was surprised at seeing them there. Daisy lowered her head to avoid his gaze.

"No need to call Mark. We can take my car back." Kevin was curious why she was reporting for duty before the end of her holiday. Wasn't her husband the CEO of FX International Group? Why didn't her husband send a car for her to go back to the base in?

"Major Kevin, are you busy now? I don't want to impose." Daisy had a thought: this might interfere with his duties.

"Nothing important or urgent. I was just hanging out when I saw you." Kevin was out of sorts. He didn't like the distance between them, or her coldness.

"Ok. Thank you." Daisy, as aloof as she was, could feel that something was wrong. She felt the tension when Kevin looked at her. She thought it was better if she brushed him off and was only cordial to him.

Kevin was about to say something and thought better of it. He closed his eyes briefly. Then, he picked up Justin in his arms and headed for his car. He looked like a man defeated.

"Have you eaten?" Kevin said before he pulled away from the curb. He turned his head and could see that Daisy and Justin looked dispirited.

"No, and Uncle Kevin, Mommy said we could eat after we got back on base." Justin answered before Daisy could say anything. Sometimes his bluntness surprised and embarrassed her.

Kevin looked at his watch. He frowned, said nothing and pulled away. He headed to a restaurant.

"You can come back after you finish your dinner. It'll take too long to get to the base. You won't be able to get anything to eat that late." Kevin exited the car. He didn't ask what Daisy or Justin wanted. He just did as he wanted and expected them to go along with it.

Daisy looked at Kevin in bewilderment but said nothing. She held Justin's hand and they followed Kevin together. Daisy was uncomfortable, and Kevin seemed to be angry.

Kevin really was angry. He asked himself, 'Daisy, have you made up with your husband? Why are you always unhappy? Why do you look pale and tired? How can I leave you alone when I see you like that?

Edward turned the steering wheel and pursed his sexy lips. The well-cut face showed no expression despite messed up thoughts in his head, 'Daisy, am I unreliable? I was a playboy, true. But, I gave up my pride and presented my heart to you. What did I get? None of your trust. In fact, you told me I wasn't the guy you wanted.'

He honked the horn vigorously and smiled sarcastically, 'Since when did I need to read a woman's mind? Don't they always kowtow to me?'

Because Luke was sent to look for Leena, and he saw Edward and Justin together, he didn't arrange a bodyguard. A young female colonel had to be pretty competent to make that rank. Edward would be okay, he thought. But when Edward showed up at the base alone, he figured that woman must not be as reliable as he thought.

"Sir, Daisy and Justin haven't come back." Luke approached as soon as Edward left the car. Luke scanned him for any obvious signs of injury.

"What? Haven't they come back? Impossible!" When I talked to Justin on the phone, he told me they were going back." Edward was worried. If they weren't here, where were they now?

"Yes, sir. I got here as soon as I could. But Mrs. Mu didn't show her face." Luke wondered why Daisy and Justin disappeared so suddenly.

Edward dialed up Justin, but the boy's phone was off. Exasperated, he threw the phone inside the car, with his slender body leaning on the car door. He gave off very dark vibes that indicated "leave me alone."

Daisy never thought Edward would look for her on base. Her heart caught in her throat when she saw Edward leaning on his car lazily and handsomely. How could he come here? Shouldn't he be sleeping with that girl right now?

"Mommy, it's Daddy and Uncle Luke." Justin was a little kid, so he couldn't keep his emotions in check. Although he was angry at Edward a moment ago, Edward was still Daddy. This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Kevin turned his head and looked at Daisy. What really happened between her and Edward? She mostly sat in silence, picked at her food. He couldn't stop thinking about her.

Edward stared at the car heading for the base intently, like a cheetah stalking his prey, ready to pounce. He frowned when he saw the driver's face. Why was he here?

Kevin pulled up near Edward's car, turned his head and looked at Daisy. She only had eyes for Edward. Kevin decided to live with his heartbreak, and not pursue her any further. The best man had won.

Edward was a bit surprised when he saw those two familiar figures in the backseat. He gave a sardonic smile. 'Daisy, do you have any idea how long I've been waiting for you? Do you know how worried I am? Do you know how anxious and scared I am?' Even if she did, Edward thought, he would let Daisy know exactly how he felt.
