It'll Come Naturally

"You asked for all of this! If you hadn't stolen the certificate and given it to your son, then you wouldn't be homeless now! Don't you think it would be better to go cry to your two good sons rather than cry to me?" It was not that Tiana wasn't grateful and didn't want to repay Sheena. She knew her all too well. Once Sheena got what she wanted she wouldn't stop asking for more. If Tiana helped her now then she would most certainly ask for more help in the future. So she couldn't show any mercy to Sheena, otherwise, it would only bring trouble to her older brother Rain again. "Well! You ungrateful bad girl! How dare you bite the hand that fed you? All my efforts in taking care of you for all of these years have all been in vain. Now that you have grown up, you have stronger wings to fly away from me. But you won't repay my hard efforts. You have an ungrateful soul!" she yelled at her angrily. Sheena was hoping that she would show her some mercy due to their long relationship. But she didn't expect Tiana to turn her down without a second thought.

"What exactly, is it that you think you have done for me?" she said glaring angrily back at Sheena. "You just used me as a pawn to get to my father-that's what you did! Apart from that I really don't know what else you have done for me. Don't give me your sob story about how you cared for me as a daughter. For me, I never felt that love from you because it never existed! All you did was acting like that you cared me only to put on a show in front of my father. So don't feel grieved and hurt for what I am doing to you now!" Tiana poured out what she had bottled up in her heart for all those years and she felt greatly relieved.

These days she had been getting along really well with her brother Rain, she felt what real kinship was. She felt loyalty towards him and didn't want to risk their relationship because of Sheena.

"Damn you! You stupid girl! Raising a dog would have been better than raising you! At least the dog would be loyal and wag its tail happily to me. But you! You are so ruthless and cold-hearted! Don't count your chickens before they are hatched, Tiana. God will not just sit and watch you treat me this way. Sooner or later he will punish you for it!" Sheena cursed angrily. Sheena had grossly underestimated Tiana. She thought that she could easily manipulate her as she had done in the past. But now, Tiana had grown and became a sophisticated and astute young lady.

"Then, I will wait for that moment to come. But I really don't know who God is going to punish first!" Tiana seethed back. With those words, she coolly stood up, left coffee money on the table and glanced coldly at Sheena then walked away.

Sheena slumped back into her chair discouraged. She seemed to have lost to Fiona in every aspect. She thought of Fiona's children and then of her own two sons, realizing that the contrast between the two sides was huge. So, she had to admit that she had lost. Lost completely to her.

By the end of summer, Daisy's pregnancy was really showing as her belly had grown quite a bit. Edward was treating her like a national treasure. He had even started picking her up from work on a daily basis. It couldn't be more obvious how much importance he put on her pregnancy.

"Has the baby been obedient today?" he asked rubbing her tummy. Earlier, Edward had called the commander as she was pregnant and he didn't want her to be bothered by work. However, she lost her temper with him because of it. She asked him to stop meddling with her work and to trust her. Even though he stopped interfering with her work, he was still worried that she might overdo it. So he compensated by going to pick her up every day.

"Pfft!" Daisy sniggered. The baby inside her belly was only small

and she still wouldn't be able to feel it moving just yet. The larger size military uniform that she was wearing hid her belly well.

"Let me listen to it," Edward said lovingly. He put his ear to her belly carefully listening to any possible noise coming from the baby.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

"Did you hear anything?" Daisy loved the moments every time when Edward would show affection towards the baby. When she was pregnant with Justin, he didn't treat her like that.

"Yeah, I heard that someone's stomach is growling," said Edward laughing. He was really amazed that a small human being was growing inside of her belly, so he kept watching the small changes in her body every day.

"Edward, do you think that I am going to get fat?" Daisy asked a little bit upset. She had quite an appetite these days. Even after eating the cookies and apples in her office, she still found that she was hungry at the end of the working day.

"Well, you really don't have to worry about that. Even if you do put on a few extra pounds, you will still be beautiful to me and I wouldn't love you any less. So don't worry about that," said Edward sincerely. Suddenly he pulled out a cupcake and held it in front of her. "Ah! How did you know I was hungry?" Daisy said pleasantly surprised. Daisy took a quick bite out of the cupcake and found that it was her favorite flavor.

"Well, I think I know what you like by now. You have a wonderful and considerate husband who dotes on his wife 24/7," he said smiling. Daisy felt that Edward was becoming a real softy, but she wasn't about to stop him. She appreciated his kind gestures recently, including the cupcake he was offering now.

"Has Justin returned from summer camp?" Daisy asked. She really missed her son. He was all grown up now and was less attached to her.

"Yes, he arrived earlier today. Mom and dad went to pick him up at the airport. They're probably on their way back home right now," Edward replied. Edward's feelings for Justin were opposite to Daisy's. Of course, he loved his son dearly, but he preferred that his son was exposed to the outside world so he could learn from experience and become more self-reliant. These skills would come in very handy when he eventually took over FX International Group in the future.

"I wonder if he got a tan," Daisy said with concern in her voice. It wasn't a problem if he got a slight tan, she was more concerned that he didn't get sunburn.0000000☐☐☐☐
