It'll Come Naturally
Chapter 543 Beautiful Woman (Part Two)

Luke remained silent. He seldom talked at the table. As he had been an orphan since he was young, Luke suffered coldness and hunger. It was a very fortunate thing that someone would extend a helping hand and offer him some warm food. He couldn't ask for more. Therefore, any food prepared by Cynthia he would finish it with a grateful heart. Although the food did not agree with his stomach and usually caused him loose bowels for some time afterwards, he never complained. For him, the food carefully prepared by Cynthia was a rare treat in the world and was simply precious. Right now, he heard them teasing each other but didn't say anything. He just looked at them with a gentle smile, enjoyed the good ambience at the table, and appreciated the love and warmth he had felt.

Daisy gently gazed at her precious family. Each one of them meant so much to her. The look on her face said it all: at this very moment, the cold female colonel was grateful for everything she had in her life: the caring family, an adorable son and a perfect husband. Daisy was intoxicated with her own thoughts. She felt so blessed.

The night was long, and the moon had generously shed its light all around. A beautiful woman bathed herself in the moonlight. Her fragrance seemed so close and yet her look seemed distant. Her lips were like the finest rare ruby and her hair was like the most expensive ebony satin. Her beauty easily took Edward's breath away. His breath caught in his throat. He fondly gazed at her as he was powerless against the burning desire within him.

"How's it going?" He quietly approached her and laid his eyes on her beautiful neck. He wickedly curled his lips as he secretly sniffed her fragrance, the unique flowery smell from her shampoo.

"Fine! You done with the chess game?" Daisy raised her head and looked at him curiously. After dinner, Jonathan proposed that he would like to play chess with his son. This indeed surprised everyone as usually he would go straight to Cynthia and hang out with her alone. Everyone knew how important the sweet time he spent with his beloved wife meant to him. Now he actually suggested spending his leisure time with his son instead of his wife, no wonder everyone was shocked. Jonathan's action caught everyone off guard and they started to wonder whether he was still alright. How strange!

"It's okay! The game was fun despite the fact that he constantly whined about every move. I won't play chess with him anymore. He acted like a child. What a sore loser!" Edward scornfully curled his lips. He was not very pleased at his father's attitude at the game. From what he could remember, his father was always solemn and serious. How come when they were playing chess, he acted like a whiny brat and gave him a headache?

"Sometimes the old behave like babies! As a devoted son, you should just accept their foibles and be more patient! He might still look young on the outside, however he's still old. The funny thing is, he sometimes acts like a child at heart. That's why we have a term for people like him, man-child. I am sure this is quite common with old people nowadays." Daisy smiled generously at him as she extended her hand and squeezed his pouting mouth gently. He was the one being childish here! Anyway, as long as the two got along well with each other, she felt greatly relieved.

"I behaved so well today. Where is my due reward?" Edward quickly caught her fingers and gazed into her eyes. His look was intense and his desire was obvious. Pale blush on the face, she could feel his strong love from the bottom of her heart.

"Hey, it has nothing to do with me." Daisy tried to remain calm and ignore his daring gaze. She gave him a confused look, then she began packing the documents she had been processing earlier on. As soon as the documents were packed, she stood up and walked straight towards the door. His fond gaze was too intense for her to bear. She somehow had the urge to run away from his burning lust for her.

"You don't seem to have the slightest idea! I only acted as a bigger man in front of him for your sake." Edward's face turned gloomy. His eyebrows slightly furrowed as he quickly followed her footsteps. What was wrong with this stubborn woman? Couldn't she just turn around and face him? Was she even aware of how obsessed he was about her? How could she walk away from him like that! She couldn't be bothered to cast one more glance in his direction. Edward was wondering whether his charm had faded during his recuperation. "Edward! What on earth are you talking about? Explain, if you can. What do you mean for my sake? It's obvious the relationship between you and your father has nothing to do with me! So, what exactly do you mean?" Daisy stopped and whirled around. Utterly confused by his words, she stared at his face and flung a question at him. She needed him to explain right now.

"It has everything to do with you! You see, he praised you for your food at the dinner table in front of everyone this evening. I am thankful for his compliments about you, therefore, I kindly let him win at the chess game. I am not bothered at all by his man-child behaviour," Edward said casually, raising his eyebrow. He sounded very authoritative and Daisy almost believed him. She had the vague impression that Edward only behaved kindly to Jonathan because the old man showed affection to him first. Maybe her husband wasn't used to such feelings yet.

"Whatever! You'll make up any old excuse as long as it suits you." Daisy curled her lips and rolled her eyes. As she had no intention to waste her time on him anymore, she walked straight to the bedroom. Little did she know, that was exactly what Edward was after. He wanted her so much right now.

"What about my excuse? I think it's a good one! What did you expect? We end up in a big fight over trivial things like that?" She was giving him the cold shoulder for no reason. Edward's face turned darker. He was so innocent but she dared to accuse him of doing something he didn't do! He never intended to argue with his father. However, according to her, he was the bad one here and should be blamed. It made Edward pretty sad that his beloved wife actually saw him as a trouble maker.

"You are still quite vulnerable at the moment. I don't think you are a match for your father. He might be old, but he is definitely a tough guy." His back talk made Daisy laugh. Greatly amused by his words, she deliberately mocked him. Then she bent down and picked up the clothes he had thrown randomly to the ground. It seemed that this nasty habit of his was really difficult to get rid of. As the saying went, "A leopard cannot change its spots." Edward was quite spoiled and she might need more time to correct his habits. What a big task life had given her!

"Woman, are you doubting me now?" With these words, Edward moved to her and embraced her tightly from behind. Daisy was not a small woman but still he captured her easily in his strong arms. His burning gaze roamed over her tender and juicy lips. Time seemed still as his look got steamier and they both knew that something romantic was about to happen.00000000000
