It'll Come Naturally
Chapter 503 Making a Fool of Yourself (Part Two)

"No, I don't know any Du." Had Paul returned to the country? Why was she completely unaware? Oh, god! How could he sell the necklace to Edward? What a devil! Did Daisy remember it? If she recognized it, she might look into it. That would cause a lot of trouble! Yakira hated Paul for not keeping his promise. He had promised her that he would never return to the country. But why did he break his word? Wasn't he afraid that people would replace out what he had done to Daisy's mother?

"Oh, you don't know him! I thought you knew each other from your reaction just now." Edward didn't expose her lie. He had decided to wait for her in the restaurant today only to see her reaction. He hadn't expected her to admit it so easily. He'd gotten what he wanted and didn't waste any more of his time.

"Are you making fun of me? How could I know some middle-aged Du? Excuse me, but we won't be able to stay any longer. Mary, let's go!"

Yarika stood up as soon as she finished talking. She had to confirm one thing as soon as possible. Did Paul Du come back? Or was the man Edward talked about another person who happened to have the same necklace? But this kind of coincidence was a million to one! Yakira got increasingly anxious at the thought.

"But aren't we going to eat something? Why can't we stay a bit longer? We don't have anything to do now." Mary frowned. She didn't want to leave with Yakira at all. She stubbornly kept looking at Edward with her eager eyes. She didn't have many opportunities to see him. Now that she finally bumped into him here, she didn't want to leave at all.

"Just do as I say and leave with me! Don't stay here anymore. You won't die without this meal." Yakira felt helpless with her daughter's obsessive behavior. She had warned her many times before that she couldn't handle an excellent man such as Edward Mu. But her daughter kept turning a deaf ear to her words. Well, let her suffer by herself! Even as her mother, she couldn't stand to look at her embarrassing actions towards Edward.

"Fine! I'll go with you. Why are you so angry? Bye, Edward. I'll talk to you next time." Mary thought Edward would at least pretend to ask her to stay. But Edward didn't look at her at all, let alone talk to her mother and urge her to stay.

"Hurry up. Stop making a fool of yourself!" Regarding Edward's arrogance, Yakira could do nothing but complain in her mind despite being angry with him. He was one of the most powerful people in the city. No matter how upset she was, she couldn't offend him in any way despite her immense anger. Besides, she had something more important to do now.

"Mom, what's wrong with you today? Why are you so moody? We came here for meal, why can't we stay any longer? You didn't answer any phone call." Mary pursed her lips. She was unhappy that Edward didn't want to talk to her. And now, even her mother was berating her like this. She got more and more upset.

"You can't keep acting like some shameless groupie! Didn't you notice that he didn't want to talk to you at all? Let alone stay with you! Stop thinking about him! There are so many good men in the world, Edward Mu is only one of them! Besides, he has a wife! Don't you know that you will be charged for a crime if you harm a soldier's marriage?"

Yakira paused for a moment. She turned around and rolled her eyes at Mary. She was a clever woman, why was her daughter such a fool? Edward acted and spoke so affectionately to Leena while he treated Mary so lowly. Was Mary blind?

"There are definitely a lot of good men, but Edward is a special man. You don't understand because you've never loved someone from the bottom of your heart. You love no one but yourself! Why else would you keep 5 million for yourself in secret?"

Mary didn't care about harming a soldier's marriage at all She didn't care about anything as long as she could have the man of her dreams. She firmly believed that Edward would become hers as long as she didn't stop trying.

Smack! A distinct slap sounded loudly. Mary clutched her face with her hand, staring at Yakira with wide eyes. She couldn't believe that her mother had just slapped her.

"Mary Ouyang, I don't care if other people consider me a selfish woman. But I never expected you to say such words to me. I've sacrificed so much for you in all these years. But what about you? What do you do to repay me? Now, you even consider a man who keeps dismissing you more important than your own mother! This really hurts my heart."

Yakira never wanted to hit her own daughter. But she couldn't help slapping Mary's face just now. If she hadn't gotten anxious because of Edward's words a few moments earlier, she wouldn't have hit Mary.

"Don't make up some acceptable excuse for your selfishness. That's the way you want to live. I'm only following your lead. After all, like mother, like daughter. If you didn't divorce my father and insist on marrying Leo Ouyang, I wouldn't be a stepdaughter! And I wouldn't turn out to become such a selfish person either! Besides, Edward is not dismissive towards me. He has the same attitude towards all women."

Mary got slapped in the face. She had already been feeling inferior because of her miserable experience and now, her mother was rubbing salt on her wounds. Because of this, her tone got more and more agitated. She shouted so loudly that every passer-by looked at her with an odd expression on their face. But she didn't care about them. She also ignored how her words might hurt Yakira badly.

"Then are you saying that I did a bad thing to you? Do you think that I wanted to take you with me to the Ouyang family?" Yakira's lips couldn't help trembling. She didn't mean what she said, but she got so angry at Mary that she spoke without thinking.
