It'll Come Naturally
Chapter 560 You Win (Part One)

"Did I laugh? Are you sure about that? Your eyes are playing tricks on you. You must be so starving that you start seeing things." Edward reached out and smoothed her inky hair gently. In his arms, Daisy let her guard down and she looked more vulnerable and feminine.

He loved this side of her as much as he loved the authoritative colonel in military uniform.

"And you're the one to blame. This is all your fault!" Daisy tilted her head back to glare at him. His words earned him a pinch on his waist. Even though she was angry, she didn't pinch him in full strength. She couldn't help worrying about him. If he got hurt, she would feel his pain. "Oh, you're right. This is all my fault. How about I make it up to you by buying you dinner?" He hugged her tightly, his slender arms wrapped around her waist. He looked into her eyes and indulged himself in the soft touch of her warm body. It felt amazing. He was always so easily turned on by her.

"Huh! I have money. I don't need you to buy me dinner. I need clothes. Get me some clothes now." Edward tried to pinch the tip of her nose, but Daisy quickly evaded it. He liked teasing her like this. It always made her feel like she was a puppy. She refused to give him the satisfaction.

"So... you want clothes. Tell me, how are you going to reward me after you get them?" Flirting with her was something he could never get enough of. Edward enjoyed spending time with her. He especially liked teasing her.

"Damn it. That's enough. Do you have to bargain with me over everything? I'll just walk out like this, I don't mind. I just hope you won't mind either." She scowled at him defiantly, fully aware that Edward couldn't bear the thought of her being dressed so revealingly in public. "You're learning. You know all my weak spots and you know how to take advantage of them. Clever girl. I just fear that you will get arrested for going out like this, and I'll have to bail you out. That will be very embarrassing."

Edward never got bested easily. He was used to taking control of everything around him. Going down without a fight was not in his nature. He remained calm and collected as if her threat didn't work at all. But deep down, he was anxious. Although he definitely didn't want his wife to be seen like this, he just couldn't give in easily.

"You..." Daisy was about to retort, but thought better of it. Then she flashed him a smile. Did Edward think she wouldn't dare do it? She wondered if he could still maintain his calm composure after seeing her walk out of the door. Stepping back, she moved easily out of his arms and strode towards the door. She didn't dare walk too fast, afraid that he wouldn't have enough time to stop her. If that happened, she'd have no way out of this. She would have to choose between swallowing her pride and ruining her image.

Edward just stood in place and watched her, the calm and confident look on his face conveying his absolute certainty. But when she turned the knob and opened the door, all his certainty vanished. Before he knew it, he rushed forward and closed the door quickly. His face darkened as he pulled her closer, tucking her against his chest. Daisy gave him a mischievous grin despite his accusing glare.

"Fine! Here you go. You win." Edward reluctantly picked up the paper bag on the bed and handed it to her, afraid that she would pull the trick again. Even though he knew she was just threatening him, he couldn't take the slightest risk of having her body be seen by another man.

"You have my uniform! But you've just been out for a very short time. How did you get it so fast?" Daisy unpacked the paper bag and found her neatly folded uniform inside. She had no idea that her uniform was inside the bag he was holding when he came back earlier.

"I have to take back calling you 'clever.' You're not clever, you're the opposite. I just made a phone call to have someone send your uniform here. There's no need to go back home in person to get it."

Edward still seemed a little disgruntled, though he had to admit he could only blame himself. He cared her so much that he walked directly into her trap. Fortunately, they were the only ones in the room, so he was spared from becoming the laughing stock.

"Tsk! My silliness brought out your cleverness. But who did you ask to send this over?" Daisy asked curiously as she found her underwear in the bag. Whoever packed her uniform was very thoughtful.

"Your aide. Don't give me that look. Mom packed your clothes." Before Edward could say another word, there was a knock on the door. Daisy grabbed her clothes and rushed into the bathroom. Her quick reflexes showed her expertise as a soldier, but it also made Edward realize one thing. Given that she was so afraid of being seen now, he was stupid enough to believe that she would dare go out wearing nothing but a shirt. But it was no use crying over spilled milk now.

"Come in." Edward opened the door to see a waiter outside with a food cart. He didn't just go out to fetch her clothes, he also checked the food on the way. Since he didn't come to this hotel often, he wasn't familiar with the food choices here. He carefully chose the food and had them sent to their room. It was more convenient for Daisy, and it also gave them more time to be alone together.000☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
