It'll Come Naturally

Chapter 84 Are You Worrying About Me

"Give me a moment. I'll just be back..." Daisy got out of the car without finishing the sentence and trotted towards the bakery down the street.

Edward wondered where she was headed, as it was quite possible that she would run away from him.

Daisy began to select some cakes and beverages, after she confirmed that she could pay the bill by card. She picked out several pieces of mousse cakes, a cup of coffee and a carton of milk. When Daisy reached back at the car, loaded with the supplies, she beckoned Edward to open the front door.

Edward glanced at her with a strange look. He was genuinely surprised that she had not run away.

"Here, take this. And now, I will drive." Daisy ordered him while stuffing all the things she had bought, and his wallet, in his hands.

"What are you doing?" Edward frowned, reluctantly taking the stuff while getting out of the driving seat.

"I've brought you food, I am sure that you have not had dinner yet." replied Daisy raising her perfect eyebrows.

Edward flashed his trademark grin and innocently asked, "My love, are you worrying about me? And how did you know that I had not had my dinner yet?" ...

"If you had had your dinner, you wouldn't be so angry." Daisy complained while getting in the car. She reckoned that Edward had immediately rushed to the military district while still talking to Justin on the phone. And then he had waited there for three hours, during which he had not eaten anything as there was nothing there to eat.

Edward looked at her shopping and was surprised to see the cakes. He selected one and took a dainty little bite. Although he was not a big fan of matcha mousse cakes, he found that he could tolerate this one.

"Do you like it? Justin loves this flavor, so I thought you'd find it good too." Daisy expectantly looked at Edward and her normal icy look melted.

"Hmmm...I like it. Here, try it for yourself." Edward said putting the cake to her lips and signaling her to open her mouth.

Daisy blushed. She felt awkward as Edward had already bitten the cake. It would be like an indirect kiss! She did not like cakes, but still took a bite when Edward encouraged her with his eyes.

Edward had done this on purpose as he thought that the frustrated look on her face broke her icy demeanor making her seem more alive.

Daisy was able to drive smoothly even in the densely populated city center. Her adept driving skills impressed him.

Satisfied that she could handle his beloved car well, he leaned back in the seat and studied her with his deep eyes. He found Daisy attractive and charming. She could maintain proper distance without being ruthless. At this moment, he found himself fall in love with the serenity she brought. Simply sitting beside her gave him a sense of relief.

The flickering lights in downtown and the intoxicating scene at night were appealing. Shortly, the luxurious Maybach gently pulled into the temporary parking lot inside the villa and parked smoothly in one go.

Daisy turned to look at Edward. His eyes were closed. She could not be sure if he was sleeping or had just closed his eyes. She had noticed him staring at her during the drive but didn't have the courage to respond to his eyes.

"Are we home?" Edward opened his eyes when he felt that Daisy was unsure of what to do next.

"Hmm… Are you tired?" Daisy frowned as she asked him.

"Nah, I was just sorting out things in my head." Edward replied smiling at her concern. He had been thinking about her relationship with Kevin. It was obvious that Kevin liked her very much. But what about her? Did she have the same feelings towards him? If so, then why had she accepted his request in the first place?

Daisy looked at him but then got out of the car without saying a word. She was not interested in what was going on in his mind. And it was also not her decision to be made. She had to admit that her recklessness and failure to analyse the reliability of the matter had caused the misunderstanding. But she firmly believed that she was not at fault as no one would have thought differently in the situation.

Edward was confused about her behavior. She had suddenly turned cold and unapproachable, when just a second before, she had been gentle and concerned about him. Edward sighed and got out of the car. Sometimes women changed their moods faster than one could turn the pages of a book! Before he had a chance to react, Daisy had already ran inside the villa.

Edward speechlessly shook his head wondering why she was so afraid of being alone with him. It was not as if he would eat her alive!

"Mrs. Mu, welcome back." The stewardess greeted Daisy the moment she stepped in, wondering why she was walking so fast. Was someone chasing her?

"Your young master is on his way. Please prepare some food for him." Daisy knew that Edward had eaten only a small piece of cake and a cup of coffee, without touching the milk.

"Yes, Mrs. Mu. I will immediately go and get some food." The stewardess was pleased that Daisy cared about Mr. Mu.

"I'm glad that you were running that fast to get me food." Edward said as he entered the villa. He felt good knowing that Daisy was concerned about him.

"Hardly. I just don't want you to get mad at me again!" Daisy retorted. She would never admit that she cared about him.

"You are lying. When did I get angry with you?" Avoiding direct conflicts with him and being gentle were the best ways to calm him down. Edward was satisfied with her actions. He took her into his arms. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

She squirmed and got out of his arms. Why did Edward like hugs so much! He did not mind the maids watching their intimate interactions but she did!

"I need to check whether Justin has slept or not." she said quickly running to the stairs.

Edward followed her steps and headed to his room to take a shower. It was the first thing he needed to do whenever he got back home, to keep his mind sane.
