It'll Come Naturally

Chapter 305 But Honey, You Are Crying (Part Two)

"Honey, What's wrong?" Edward reached out and held her hands. He wanted to turn around to check up on her. Why was she in his office at this time? He remembered she had a report to write. Perhaps she had finished it already.

"Don't move. I want to stay like this for a moment." Daisy sensed his movement and tightened her arms around his waist, her eyes closed, indulging herself in the faint Jasmine scent coming from him. She realized how reassuring it was to know she could rely on someone when she was wronged. It felt like nothing mattered any more and everything would be fine as long as he was by her side.

"So, what happened?" Edward asked, his voice was never so soft. He didn't move as she had asked. He realized this was the first time she revealed her vulnerability in front of him, which was very rare since she always appeared strong-minded and resolute. He wondered what had happened at the army base? Did she get in trouble for a bad report? Or someone took her promotion again? Last time she called Justin and cried on the phone for this. But none of this made sense. The military exercise had just ended. Although he wasn't familiar with the way the military operated, still he knew it would be too soon to get a result. So what on earth was going on?

"Don't ask. I don't want to talk about it." How could she tell him she had been accused by someone, especially when she had promised she wouldn't do anything to interfere with the investigation. Besides, she wasn't sure that Jessica was behind this. If Edward knew about this he would definitely step in, which would break the promise she made to the inspectors. It was all she could do to remain silent.

"Okay, I won't ask anything. Just tell me about it whenever you want. Let me have a look at you, okay?" He was feeling frustrated by this situation. He could tell from the way she behaved that something really serious had happened. He couldn't just stand there and do nothing, he wanted to hold her tightly in his arms, console her with the warmth and compassion she needed.

"No, you will make fun of me." Daisy refused. Earlier in her car, she'd noticed her red swollen eyes in the rearview mirror, and she had to draw her hat over her eyes on the way up to his office. It would be embarrassing for her to have anyone see her like this. And she especially hated to let him see her like this.

"Honey. I promise I won't. I can't see you and I'm really worried." Edward tried to coax her. He could feel his shirt was getting wet. Knowing that she was crying made his heart ache. It wouldn't take much effort to turn around, but he didn't want to make her unhappy and increase her sadness. It was painful to feel her grief, but he had to remain in control so he just stood still.

"No. I will be fine, just give me a moment." Daisy said as more tears welled up in her eyes. It didn't matter how other people treated her, she could handle it. But just a word of concern from him made her pretense crumble to pieces and more tears oozed out.

"But honey, you are crying. This is tearing me apart." Edward's hands that covered hers began to tremble slightly. Her silent tears sent him into a panic. He couldn't just stand there and let her cry silently. So he turned around and saw her face, the image sent a sharp pain through his chest. Her swollen red eyes told him that she had cried before she came to him, and he wasn't her first choice when she was sad.

"Don't look at me. I'm ugly." Daisy pressed her face tightly against his chest, trying to hide her terrible face from his eyes. She was a woman, and like other women, she always wanted to show her lover her best side.

Edward kept silent. He pulled her out of his arms carefully and frowned as he saw her wet face. Never in his life had he hated himself so much. He was such a horrible husband, he didn't even know why she was crying.

His thin lips fell gently on her forehead, then on her swollen eyes. He was telling her with this fond kiss, that he accepted all sides of her. You felt pain and torment when you loved someone, Edward realized. Her feelings decided his mood. He felt what she felt, the pain, the joy, all of it. RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

The tenderness in his kiss stunned Daisy. She felt a strange fluttering feeling inside, which was incredible and moving. He stood before her and with a gentle kiss he tasted her sadness and filled her with his deep affection. The warm touch of his lips brought her the kind of happiness that she had never experienced before.

The moment he took her lips, she surrendered and became completely submissive to his sweet kiss. He was so gentle today that she could feel his lips trembling slightly. Was he feeling sad for her? Was he taking pity on her? She couldn't figure it out. But nothing mattered now because she just wanted to succumb to the temptation and drown herself in his love.

Edward couldn't be more careful right now. He traced her lips and tongue intently, but there was no lust in his kiss. He was trying to chase away her tears to make her happy again. She was always in fighting spirit and never in a compromise position. This tearful face seemed strange to him. The strangeness came in such a hurry that he was blanked in an instant; uncontrolled panic was spreading through his body.
