It'll Come Naturally

"No. It's just that I felt that Patricia didn't want me to be too close to Tom." Leena bowed her head as soon as she finished speaking. Although she was so used to being close to Tom, she was willing to change herself for their happiness. "Really? Does Tom know that?" Puzzled, Edward's eyebrows furrowed. Everybody in the upper-class circle of S City knew that they treated Leena as their little sister. How could Patricia even think of Leena that way?

"Yes. However, Tom said that Patricia is Patricia, and I am me. His feelings towards us are different. Nevertheless, I always felt that I shouldn't be bothering him anymore so I deliberately distanced myself from him. It makes me feel bad though because I knew that I hurt Tom with what I did. I can sense it whenever he looks at me." Finally, Leena was able to tell the whole story as to why she was confused.

"How about this? Go talk to Patricia first and explain yourself to her. Not every woman is as rational as Daisy. Moreover, not every woman is as generous as Belinda too. It is just natural for Patricia to behave as she does." Frankly, Edward got no clue about how to fix issues between women. Every woman had their own personality and ideas. Thus, it was really hard for him to map a resolution for this case.

"I have plans of doing that but I can't find the right time to talk to her about it." A cold wind blew and made a mess of her hair. However, even the cold breeze wasn't enough to take away the bitterness in her heart.

"Trust me. You can do it." Disputes should be resolved no matter what and Edward could only wish for the two to have a good talk. It would be nice if the two could understand each other. He let out a soft smile after a while, then asked, "Are you cold?"

"I am not cold. I wear a lot of clothes." Kevin was frantic earlier about her catching a cold. Thus, he asked her to wear a thick coat before she stepped out of their house.

"It's getting colder out here. Let's go back." On their way back to the assembly hall, Edward was thinking, 'Has Daisy been bothered about my relationship with Leena too? Anyway, she has never mentioned anything to me nor questioned me, so I don't think that she has.' With this in mind, he felt that he should ask Daisy about these things as to avoid the same concern with Patricia.

Kevin and Daisy were already back at the their seats when Edward and Leena arrived. In addition, little Justin was there too. It also seemed that the three had been to a lot of places.

"You did a good job, little fellow. Tell me, how long have you been practicing secretly?" Leena couldn't help but tease Justin when she saw him.

As a reaction, Justin opened his mouth as if to say something really harsh but then bit his lips in the end. He remembered about his promise to his parents that he would not offend Leena today.

"Aunt Leena is asking you. Why don't you answer her?" Daisy looked at Justin with wondering eyes and thought, 'Since when have my little boy become this rude?' It was obvious that she had completely forgotten about Justin's promise. "Mother, didn't you tell me to leave her alone? I'm sure I'll make her angry if I say something." The little child pursed his lips irritatedly. He knew himself and Leena too well. Once the two of them started talking, they were bound to quarrel. "Really?" Surprised, Kevin couldn't help but laugh with what he heard. Although he knew they were always quarreling, he did not expect that they would quarrel as soon as they talked.

"Uncle Kevin, do you know how mean women are?" Justin crossed his arms over his chest and said the words as if he was an adult.

"What are you talking about, Justin? I'm a woman, too. Are you talking about me being mean?" Daisy gritted her teeth as she thought, 'How can you say that women are all mean while I'm around? It looked like you want me to teach you a lesson.'

"No! I didn't say you're included. I mean those shallow women are mean. A woman as powerful as you has nothing to do with what I said." The little child tried to explain anxiously while looking at his mother. 'Shoot! I'm done! Why did I even say that? I shouldn't have said that in front of my mom!' Trying to be cute, Justin smiled widely at his mother in an attempt to cool her head down. It seemed that he would cause trouble sooner than he thought.

"Excuse me. Are you saying that I'm shallow?" Leena pretended to be angry as she stared at the child. 'Goodness! Did this little guy just say that I'm a shallow woman?'

"I... Forget it. Everything I said was wrong. You can do whatever you want with me. Are you satisfied now, ladies?" Justin looked back and forth between Leena and Daisy. Making his mother angry was bad enough, he couldn't imagine how he would end up if Leena was angry too. Nonetheless, it seemed that he was fated to make two women really angry today.

"OK. It's late now. It's time to go home. Leena and I are going to stay here." Kevin rushed to smooth things as soon as he noticed Leena and Justin quarreling again. He still had some work to do tonight, thus he decided to stay in the army base with his wife.Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

"Yes, you are going to save more time that way. But what about Leena coming back with us? It's colder here than downtown." Daisy knew that Leena was afraid of cold weathers. She was actually getting worried about Leena not being able to adapt to the temperature here.

"Don't worry. I brought her very thick clothes, so it's okay," said Kevin assuringly. He had readied everything that Leena might need as he really planned to stay in the army base.

"All right! Just take good care of Leena, okay?" Daisy didn't say more after hearing Kevin's idea. Leena would always need someone to take care of her now since she was pregnant. It was actually the reason why Daisy felt a little worried that Leena would stay in the army base. "Okay. Be careful, guys." Kevin took Leena's little hand while bidding goodbye to the Mu family. However, his smile instantly faded as soon as he felt how cold her hand was. 'Why is her hand so cold? Isn't she dressed thick enough?' he thought.
