It'll Come Naturally
Chapter 239 Sorry Honey (Part Two)

"Yes, I just settled down here. Are you okay? How are you doing?" Daisy hesitantly asked him, because Mark said that he did not look that well. She was worried about him...

"Oh, don't worry, I'm okay. Don't worry about me, or Justin, just take good care of yourself. We're waiting for you to come back, we miss you already..." said Edward. He then suddenly felt that there was something standing between them. They were not as intimate as they

used to be. He chose every one of his words carefully, because he feared that he might sadden her.

"Okay. I know, but... did you really mean what you said in your messages?" Daisy had wanted to ask this from the very beginning of their phone call. This matter haunted her, and she felt that if she didn't figure it out now, she wouldn't be able to fall asleep at night because of it.

"Which part?" asked Edward, flabbergasted. He couldn't figure out which message it was because he had sent too many. He didn't know which one she referred to.

"Fine, just forget about it. It's nothing," replied Daisy, with a downcast look on her face. She was obviously disappointed, because she had expected maybe too much from him, she pondered, 'Maybe he was trying to fool me, and that's why he doesn't remember what he said to me in the messages. It seems that he said that he loved me only to make me feel good and happy. Oh, I am so stupid to believe in him!'

"Dear, please listen carefully to me now, because I will only say it once. Honey, I love you, and until the moment I die, I will always love you!" Edward didn't hesitate for a moment to say these words to her. He knew that she loved him, and he also knew that she wanted to hear him say that.

When she heard the sweet and caring words, Daisy suddenly lost all of her senses. To see it was one thing, but to hear that kind of special words coming from him was a totally different thing. She couldn't believe that it was actually happening, and she was struck by mixed feelings of bitterness, joy, and panic. She feared that everything would end, and that she would wake up any moment from her sweet dream. People always said that every good thing had an end.

"Edward, can you... say that again?" requested Daisy, with her lips trembling. She had to hear it again to be assured of what she heard.

"Daisy, I already told you that I'll say it only once. You were absent-minded while I was saying it, weren't you? I told you to listen carefully to me, but you didn't listen..." said Edward amused, while he took the bath towel from the chair and wrapped himself in it. Water dripped on the floor from his messy hair, and a cunning smile appeared on his face. He was back to his usual charming manner.

"Oh... I didn't. But could you say it again? Please?" said Daisy, in an affectionate tone. It was rare for her to be this gentle and sweet to him. It was only when she wanted something from Edward that she showed her sweet, girly traits, and this time, she did it again. Edward always felt happy whenever she did this.

"No way! If you really want to hear it again, you'll hear it when you come back from the military exercises safe and sound. I will only say it again once, only once, but if you get yourself hurt, then you'll hear nothing out of me. So, please be safe there, okay?" Edward replied, with an intention of disappointing her, because he thought that she would not treasure his words if he said them to her too frequently. He was very domineering, and he knew well how to draw her attention to him, while in the same time not fully satisfying her curiosity. He was quite good at playing the Cat and Mouse game.

"What? You have so many conditions. I give up then!" uttered Daisy in dismay. She felt a bit of anger building up in her when she heard what he said. She knew that he wouldn't easily give in to her wants because he was an inborn merchant, a cunning man who always haggled under all circumstances.

"Haha! It seems that you're already angry! Honey, it's not a good strategy to show your feelings when you're negotiating with people!" said Edward. He finally walked out from the state of panic and fear of losing her that he was in. He was teasing Daisy, and he could imagine that her beautiful and cool face looked sullen now, and that she must be complaining about him with her teeth grinding. 'If I was standing right beside her, she would have certainly given me a good kick. She always uses brute force to solve everything. She's kicked me so many times, ' thought Edward.

"Huh! If I'm really negotiating with you, I will fire a shot first! I will let the gun speak first!" sneered Daisy. She thought, 'If you dare tease me, then wait and see what's in store for you!'

Edward moved his lips, and thought, 'I said that she likes to use brute force, and it's true, this is the real Daisy, and I love that. She's a strong and brave woman indeed!'

"But will you really do it? I think that someone would be very sad, and that someone certainly wouldn't be me," said Edward. Since he had found out that he was the man she had always loved, he knew how to use this to threaten her.

"Edward, did you see something?" asked Daisy. She guessed that he must have read the newspapers in her study, or otherwise he would have never said such a thing. If he were ever hurt, she would feel miserable, thousands of times more miserable than if she herself were.

"Yes! Sorry, honey, I never wanted to hurt you. And thank you for waiting for me for all of these years. I feel lucky that I'm with you now, and know that your effort is never wasted!" said Edward, in a gentle voice. His eyes were filled with tenderness and deep love, and an air of romance filled the room.

"Edward, thank you for being there for me to love, or otherwise I really don't know how I could spend my every single day in the past years. You were a dream for me in those days, and I had something to hope for and strive for. You have been my will to live on, and thank you for giving me hope. I love you, and I have been loving you for so long. I only say this once, so remember it," said Daisy, very seriously.

She had told herself in the past that one day she would tell this to him - that she had been loving him all this time. No matter what happened, she never thought of giving up her love for him. He was the man who had become an inseparable part of her life, and if she ceased to love him one day, then that would be the day her heart stopped beating. She was sure that he was the man that she would love and cherish for all of her life.

In an alluring voice, Edward said, "Okay, I heard it, and also know that I will only have you in my life. You have to remember that no matter what happens, I will always be your husband, the man that you can believe in, and the man that you can rely on for the rest of your life. It was rare for him to say so many sweet words, but they were necessary.

The night was very quiet, and its silence made the lovers grow even fonder of each other. Nothing was more beautiful than the moon was, and its mysterious rays of light melted their hearts in the night as they were busy with their endless whispers of love.0000000☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
