It'll Come Naturally
Chapter 789 What A Bastard You Are, Duke (Part One)

"What a smart woman you are, my Colonel Ouyang. You guessed it correctly straightway. Yes, I was flirting with a beautiful woman just now." Edward cozily nestled himself into the soft bed as a soft smile rested on his face. He wondered whether Duke would get angry after replaceing out that Edward called him a woman. "Wow. Congratulations to you! You are so considerate to comfort someone else's wife late at night." Daisy's smile grew wider as she teased him. He must be treading on the air. Did he really believe that she would feel jealous about his words? Too innocent. "Someone else's wife? Are you implying that I am flirting with a married woman?" Edward frowned slightly. Since when did his wife become so sharp-toothed? She was not like the former Daisy.

"Well, I didn't say that. I just helped you finish your words." She had not meant to call him but still decided to dial his number when she found time. She thought of his sensitivity as a "prince" and knew that he would get unhappy with her should she not call him.

"Denying? That's not what a good soldier is supposed to do, Colonel Ouyang." Daisy seemed to be assured that he would not get angry with her and that he would not be interested with other women. She was very casual and was not even afraid that her words might offend him. How confident she was! However, it was something he couldn't do anything about as it was him who gave her such courage. He loved her with all his heart and that was the real score.

"Mr. Mu, have you forgotten what you have said before? Let me refresh your memory a little. You said that I was your wife before I was a soldier. So I am talking with you as a wife instead of a soldier. I could surely say whatever I want as a wife, right? Do you have any comments now?" Daisy preened herself with her excellent excuse. Yes, she made it! Edward would never anticipate that what he had said could be used against him. She was really clever to take advantage of it!

"Good. You mastered the philosophy of taking advantage of your enemy to win." An evil smile appeared on Edward's face. People always said that couples who got along for a long time would be subtly influenced by each other. They had been together for a long time. Was this the reason why she became so cunning now?

"Oh, I won't say that. I probably just have a good memory." Daisy wished she could burst into laughter. Edward must have been pissed off with his teeth gritted tightly! But he had no way to vent his anger on her because she was not staying with him now. All he could do was be quietly furious alone.

"When will you come back?" Edward stopped kidding her. He missed her so much even though they had only been apart for a day. What if there would be some closed training in the future again? He would go crazy if he couldn't see her for such a long time. "I don't know yet. Alright, It's late now. Sleep early! I gotta go." Daisy hung up immediately as she saw a blurry figure running towards her. She knew she had things to deal with when the soldiers tried to replace her because they would not disturb her in usual times. She was always serious about her work.

Edward was speechless while looking at his phone. She hung up. His mouth twisted heavily for a while. He seemed to be too nice and permissive to her recently, thus, she was getting used to hanging up on him even before he could say goodbye. What could he do to such situations anyway? All he ever did was just to heavily make love to her on the bed. He did not have the heart to beat her. And worse, he was seriously doubting if he had the ability to beat her. Come on, she was a soldier and a colonel with impressive and endless fighting power!

Belinda went to a cocktail buffet tonight. It was a little late when she finished the party and got home. She was walking step by step upstairs. Her close-fitting, backless, silver dress revealed her charming figure perfectly. Her big waves, curly-permed, flaxen hair was worn up to show her delicate neck. A pair of silver stilettos matched her dress and made her look even taller and more fascinating. Thanks to Tom's magical medicine, her wound was able to recover utterly. No sign of scar could be seen on her back anymore. She opened the door carefully to check if Duke was inside but there was nothing but darkness in the bedroom. She frowned slightly and turned around without even entering the bedroom. She walked to the study but was welcomed by the same darkness. So she decided to go back to the bedroom while wondering where Duke went. He had not informed her about his possible errands at all!

"Pat!" Belinda pressed the button on the wall to turn the light on. Taking a look at the surroundings, she decided to take off the dress. It was then that she felt the chilly breeze coming from the small balcony of their bedroom. She crept to the balcony and was about to shut the curtain when a still shadow standing outside almost freaked her out. It turned out that Duke was staying there. She thought he'd left!

"Oh, you are home! Why don't you turn the lights on?" Belinda walked slowly to him as he just stood there motionless. He looked so lonely and desolated that Belinda's heart began to ache out of something she couldn't even name.

"I forgot it." Duke replied in a cold tone without even turning to her. He was distant as he remained staring in the dark. Belinda felt her heart cracked a bit. She knew that she must have made him unhappy. She tried to recall all the things she did to him recently but failed to replace a clue.

"What happened to you? You seem to be unhappy today. Is there anything wrong in the company?" Belinda bit her lips a little. How she wished to hug his waist from behind. It was just that the cold atmosphere around him made her hesitate. She was afraid that he might push her away.

"No. You can just leave me alone and do your thing!" Actually, Duke was not waiting for any fancy or beautiful words from her. All he wanted was her embrace. A gentle hug from her would be enough. He was just like a kid in this respect.

"Is it not appropriate to talk about it with me? Or is it about me?" Belinda was exceedingly sensitive as a female. She was actually gentle and soft inside even if she spoke like a man most of the times. She sensed that Duke was acting unusual tonight. His refrained anger and unhappiness made her feel worried and she couldn't help but think that she got something to do with it. She did not know what it was but she just could sense it. She trusted her instinct.00
