It'll Come Naturally

Chapter 80 It's Not What You Think

Daisy Ouyang had shut her emotions down and become cold again. She was used to it. For years she was in love with a man who would never love her back. His affair meant nothing to her. She would just carry on quietly as she always had. She would paint a picture of him when she missed him so much she couldn't sleep, and bury herself in training during the day so she wouldn't miss him then. She would endure.

"Where are we going, mommy?" Justin looked at Daisy, suddenly worried.

"Oh! Sorry, Justin, mommy was thinking about something. Are you hungry?" Daisy sighed. Her hair was a little messy in the wind. She combed it with her fingers and looked around, only to find that there wasn't a restaurant among the stores nearby.

"No, I'm not hungry. What about you, mommy?" Justin asked. He felt bad for his mom.

"Me neither. Let's go back to the base! Mommy will cook some noodles for you." Daisy said and tried to take her phone out of her pocket, only to find that she was wearing a dress with no pockets. She had left the phone in Edward's car, and had no money on her now.

"I need to borrow your phone, Justin. Let's call Uncle Mark. He'll come and drive us back." Daisy chastised herself. 'That was careless, Daisy. You keep doing stupid things.'

"Okay, mommy." His phone started ringing loudly as he reached into his bag. Justin took it out and saw it was Edward. He looked at Daisy, not knowing what to do.

"What? Who is it?" Daisy looked at him, wondering why he didn't answer it.

"It's daddy. Mommy, do you want me to answer it?" Justin asked haltingly. He stared at Daisy, waiting for her response.

"Go ahead! Tell him we're going back to the base." Daisy was a rational woman. She was disappointed in Edward, but Justin didn't need to be involved. She never badmouthed Edward in front of their son, nor did she deny that Edward was his father.

Edward drove fast, wheels squealing at every turn and kept calling Justin anxiously. He pressed redial on the car phone again and again. He did neglect Daisy and Justin just now; he had forgotten that Daisy was a girl who tended to think too much.

"Hello! Daddy." Justin took a breath and answered. He was so angry with Edward. He wouldn't have called him daddy if Daisy weren't there.

"Where are you, Justin? I'm coming." Justin finally answered the phone. Edward was so excited and wanted to know where they were now.

"No, daddy. We're going back to the base. You can go and enjoy yourself with that chick!" Justin couldn't help saying that, as he was really disappointed in Edward. He knew that Daisy would get angry about what he had said, and he was prepared to take the punishment.

Daisy was shocked at the way Justin talked to his father. She didn't know he would say that! Despite never badmouthing Edward for fear that Justin would hate him, Justin had already gotten to that point.

"It's not what you think, Justin. Can I speak with your mommy? I can explain." Edward spun the car around, and punched it. He headed to the base.

Justin looked at Daisy and pointed at the phone. Daisy shook her head to give a silent no. What could she say to Edward? She had nothing to say. Besides, she was afraid that Edward would tell her something terrible, so she had to keep away from him.

"Mommy won't speak with you. I have to go." Justin knew what was waiting for him, but he was ready to face it.

"Justin, hold on. Please. Justin..." Justin hung up the phone. Edward was very upset. He floored the accelerator and the car started racing down the road at lighting speed.

After hanging up the phone, Justin pouted and looked at Daisy. "Mommy, I'm sorry. You can punish me when we get home."

"Justin, mommy told you to be a good boy. Do you think a good boy would say that to his father?" Daisy said gently, with a cool look on her face.

"No! I'll never do it again." Justin hung his head in shame, tears welling up in his eyes.

"All right. Mommy won't punish you this time, but you need to keep your word." Daisy knew that Justin was feeling bad for her, so she didn't have the heart to scold him.

"Mommy, let's call Uncle Mark." Justin tried to distract Daisy so that she could stop talking about what he had done.

"Mrs. Daisy! Justin! What are you doing here?" Kevin Gu was surprised to see them while driving. He pulled up to say hello.

"Uncle Kevin, I miss you so much!" Justin jumped into Kevin's arms as soon as he saw the man. He looked relieved, thinking Kevin would help them. All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

"What do you need, Justin?" Kevin knew what Justin was like. He didn't think the boy would have said that for nothing.

"What are you doing here, Mr. Kevin?" Daisy asked, looking at him. Kevin had been acting weird recently. She was afraid that he would say something she didn't understand.

"Nothing really. I was just out for a drive and here you are. Where are you headed? Maybe I can give you a lift?" In fact, Kevin just came back from the bar where he had slept with Leena Leng last night. He had left in a hurry this morning before she woke up, so he went back to see her as soon as his work was finished. As an officer, he felt that he should be responsible and do something for what he had done to her. But when he reached the bar, he found that the girl had gone. It looked like she wanted nothing from him, which didn't make him feel any better about his behavior.
