It'll Come Naturally
Chapter 1185 He Is Your Husband (Part Two)

"We wouldn't be so worried about you all the time if you really could take care of yourself as good as you said." Edward's hand moved to stroke Leena's hair gently. He was really concerned about her so much and considered her his own little sister. There was no way that he wouldn't notice whatever was going on with her. "Have I ever told you that I'm the happiest person in the whole world? That is because I have you all in my life, my brothers who treat me like I'm the most precious thing to ever breathe." For the first time, Leena told him about how grateful she was to her brothers. She was aware of how much they truly loved her and she remembered it all deep inside. She might not be the type to put her heart on her sleeves but she was also sure that they could feel how thankful she was through her actions.

"Leena, you may be thinking that you are the happiest girl in the world because of us. But you know what? In our eyes, you are the best thing we have received. You are the reason why we can be this good." A deep sigh escaped from Edward's chest as he pondered about their relationship with Leena. In reality, they were all a bit damaged in different ways. It was because they had Leena, their beloved little sister, that they could never be knocked down easily. It was just natural for them to encounter failures from time to time. But then, Leena was the driving force that kept them coming back up to fight again. They all knew that they couldn't disappoint their little princess.

"I don't know about that. What I know is that you all hold a special place in my heart that nobody can ever replace." Leena was suddenly at the verge of crying upon hearing Edward's words. She was so touched about what he said that she felt her heart squeezed so good. "Silly girl, of course, we know that already! No more emotional talks, okay? Now that you are already here, why don't we have dinner together tonight?" Edward held her in his arms gently. He saw that Leena was about to cry, and that was why he diverted their subject. Not all things needed to be said out loud after all.

"Tonight?" said Leena a bit hesitantly. It was true that she wanted to have dinner with her brothers but Claire would be home alone. She couldn't just ignore her and go out herself. Besides, Gerard was also a problem. He flew all the way from France to visit her. She surely needed to be a good hostess to him.

"Yeah, tonight. Is there a problem?" Edward furrowed his eyebrows after noticing Leena's reaction. He didn't know why she was even hesitant about having dinner with him. Was she really that busy? Didn't she have the time for a simple dinner with her brothers? That was such a bummer!

"No. It's just that I have a friend who flew all the way here to visit. So I am not sure if I have the time to eat with you," said Leena in an apologetic tone. God knew how much she wanted to spend more time with them and have a good time. It was just that she didn't know if her schedule would allow her tonight.

"Who? The one you are calling Gerard? It's easy. You just need to invite him to dinner with us. It's just a casual dinner with family and friends after all and we won't be talking about business." The more people, the merrier. Edward was not even bothered by inviting someone he didn't really know.

"It's not that easy. My sister-in-law is also here." Frustratedly, Leena rolled her eyes. She found Claire as the bigger problem in this scenario. She was her sister-in-law! She couldn't just leave her alone and hang out with her brothers.

"So that's what you're worried about? It's fine. It's not even a problem. Invite her too. The more, the merrier. Besides, it's Friday, right? We can spend more time together without worrying about going to work tomorrow." In Edward's eyes, problems that could be solved by money were not to be considered problems. Thus, he didn't think that it was a big deal to invite two more people to join them. He could afford it easily.

"Then how about Daisy? Do you know if she is free tonight?" Leena asked Edward while tilting her head. She wouldn't dare ask Kevin if he had free time. She thought that if Daisy was free then Kevin probably might be free too.

"I don't think that she got anything important to do tonight. Well if she is late, we can eat first while waiting for her and Kevin." Edward wasn't even worried about this because he knew that there wasn't much going on in the army base these days.

"Okay then! Let me call Gerard and tell him. Frankly speaking, I haven't spent much time with him since he came to the S City." She had been worried that Kevin might misunderstand things if she hung out with Gerard alone. Thus, she wasn't able to take Gerard out for sightseeing. Hearing Edward's suggestion made her excited because it would allow her to have a good time with Gerard without worrying about how Kevin would feel.

Edward shook his head fondly at her. Seeing her this excited lifted his mood too. So he walked to his desk and picked his phone up. Then he called Daisy's number.

Meanwhile, Daisy was checking her guns when her phone rang. An instant smirk appeared on her lips as soon as she saw Edward's name on it. She had been thinking the whole time about how to calm his temper down once she got home. It was actually a surprise that he called her first since Edward was never the type to compromise with anyone at all. "What, Edward? Aren't you mad anymore?"

"I didn't say that. I'm still mad at you. Don't think that I will let this go so easily." Although Leena's visit cooled his head down a little, Edward still didn't want to be the first to compromise with his wife. They could all blame his stubbornness but he would never admit to Daisy that he wasn't angry anymore.
