It'll Come Naturally

"They remind me of when we were young. Time really passes quickly. Now they've grown up. We are all getting old now," Edward said. He seemed to be overwhelmed with sorrow.

"Of course we are old now. That's nature's order. No one can stay young forever like your parents. Seems like you want to have eternal youth," Rain joked. It was true that Edward's parents looked much younger than their peers because they had a healthy lifestyle but

they were inevitably still getting old. Like Rain said, no one could beat mother nature.

"No. Don't get me wrong. In fact, nothing counts, and death is coming for us all. If I wanted to change the order of nature, I'll be damned," Edward said. His parents looked younger than their peers because they kept a positive mind. And they loved each other so much so they didn't fight. They were always in a good mood. But these days he found that they both looked a little bit older. He thought they must have concerns now. He was worried about their physical health.

"But you look younger than us. Are you keeping some secret from us? Actually you didn't tell us who you really are. Are you a descendant of some immortal creature?" Tom joked with a smile. Like Edward, he also missed the old days when they were young and free. "What did you say? How dare you? I can't believe you regard his parents as immortal creatures. I'll tell them what you said about them," Rain joked. He was the most fun one out of all of them. He always made them laugh by making fun of somebody's way of dressing or telling an amusing story.

"Go ahead. Tell them what he said," Edward said with a smile. As their son, he had a great admiration for his parents. They had been through a lot and at this age, their love for each other was still strong. Their love commenced with a casual attraction but bloomed into a mature love and rich life.

"When we grow old and grey, I hope we can still put our wife first like we do now. Then I can say that my love remains the same until death do us apart," Duke said. As he hit middle age, he started to feel that love was precious. Love was also fragile, so lovers needed to be as intentional with love as they were with work. He seldom envied people, but Jonathan and Cynthia's love made him feel envious and he also respected them a lot.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

"As long as we hold this belief, I believe we can make it," Kevin said. He lived by those words. After all these years, his love for Leena remained the same.

"Love is mutual. If you love your wife unconditionally, she will love you the same. In the end, the love we take will be equal to the love we make," Edward said with a smirk. Even though there had been quarrels between them, but after every fight, they loved each other more and more. When they just got married, he didn't expect that their relationship would last long. Now he felt like that love should be like wine. The longer you kept it, the stronger it would taste. Daisy had become the rock of their family, the love of his life. "You are right, Edward." Everybody agreed with him because they all had been through similar things. Love was patient, love was kind, love was not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude. When you were with your lover, you could share problems, and it would make your love stronger.

"Did Eden come back to succeed you," Rain asked trying to change the subject because the atmosphere was getting too sentimental.

"No, not now. He is still a student now. It will take him a few years to graduate," Tom replied. He found that Eden was acting strangely after he came back home. He must be hiding something from him.

"Don't worry. It's only a matter of time before he succeeds you. You know, time really passes quickly. You just need to wait patiently," said Edward soothingly. He had already retired. He was the only one who enjoyed life to the fullest among them.

"That's easy for you to say. You are retired now, enjoying life. But I have to work hard because I'm the boss," Duke snorted and complained. He was busy running two companies now. He had hoped that Richard would learn Business Administration at university to help him run the business. But he decided to go to military school despite his heavy opposition. He also blamed Kevin for not persuading him to change his mind. Kevin was a soldier himself, he knew what it took to become an excellent soldier.

"I agree with Duke. It's a lot easier said than done. Stop showing off, Edward" Rain rolled his eyes at him. Even though they were older now, the way they talked to each other didn't change, and they still liked to joke around.

"Okay. I'll stop. You guys are all attacking me now," said Edward as the expression on his face changed.

He pretended to be angry. They all felt that Edward was a little bit angry so they all stayed silent.

"What are you doing here? Dinner is about to start. Why don't you come over and help us to put plates on the table?" a voice called from the distance. Then they saw Leena coming to them.

"What's wrong? Why are you so mad?" Rain said. He knew her temper so he didn't want to mess with her.

"I'm mad at you. We women cook food in the kitchen while you guys are here talking. Why don't you come over to help us?" Kate Hotel brought some food to the party so they didn't need to prepare a lot of food for the dinner. After the dinner, they would have a barbecue party, so Leena wanted to ask the men to prepare meat and vegetables for the barbecue.

"I thought you could handle this. It's women's work to do the preparation before the barbecue. And I really don't know how to do it," Edward said shrugging his shoulders. It seemed that all he wanted to do was to enjoy the meal.

"You think we can handle this? Kevin, do you agree with him?" Leena turned to ask him.

She wanted to know if Kevin would agree with what Edward had said. If Kevin agreed with Edward, he would have a problem with her.

"No, no. I was thinking I could come and help you out. I was just about to go and you showed up here. You know I'm a gentleman. A gentleman won't leave the work for his woman to do on her own," Kevin said. His flattering words aroused the other men's contempt. They all despised the way he talked to Leena. His bragging made them feel embarrassed. Although he was an eminent commander, he acted totally different when he was at home. He loved Leena so he always showed his love by praising her. What was more, he was soft- spoken and very submissive to his wife.

"Okay. Since you'd like to offer us some help, I'll leave the most important job to you. When we have the barbecue, your job is to keep the coals burning," Leena said with a sly smile.

"That's good. You can handle that," the other men said mocking him. They were happy to see that Kevin fell into the trap Leena set for him.

"You guys don't get too excited. Your job is to grill the meat and vegetables for us," Leena warned them. She liked to see their reaction after playing a trick on them.

"You know what, Leena. That's a brilliant idea," Kevin praised Leena. He thought he was luckier than the other guys because all he needed to do was to keep the coals burning. It was really a stress-free job to do, but they had to serve the ladies all the time. "Shut up!" they all shouted at Kevin and stared at him. They were so jealous of him because he was the luckiest of them all and got the easiest job by flattering Leena.0000000
