It'll Come Naturally
Chapter 1485 Be Honest With Each Other (Part One)

"Are we going to sleep in the same room?" Patricia asked nervously as she bit her finger. She was sitting on the bed and God knew how fast her heart was beating just by gazing at the man before her.

"So what? We're married. What's wrong if we sleep in the same room?" said Tom as he unbuttoned his shirt one by one. It seemed that he didn't even care that Patricia was there at all. He was too casual as if stripping before her was the most natural thing to do. "Oh! Okay! Are you going to change?" Patricia looked away. There was this mixture of awkwardness and warmth that was crawling her skin. Yes, she might be a straightforward person but that didn't mean that she was shameless enough to watch this handsome man undress before her. Thus, she said, "Let me walk out of here for a while. I'll go back into the room once you're done."

Those timid words made Tom frown for a second. He never thought of a person as bold as her to be this shy. "Seriously, Patricia? Is that even necessary? Haven't you seen me naked already?"

"Nonsense. I've never seen you naked, okay?" countered Patricia as her face blushed at once. She felt her neck went stiff as she dared not to look at Tom.

"You mean you want to see it again?" Smiling wickedly, Tom suddenly stepped closer to her and bent over to examine her beautiful face. He was obviously enjoying this. He couldn't even explain why her bashfulness was turning him on.

"Uh... No, I'm fine. I'll go downstairs and get some water." Patricia swallowed and then hurried out of the room as if a monster was chasing after her. Nevertheless, her steps automatically halted at the moment when she stepped out of the door. 'Wait! Haven't I been imagining him to do such long ago? Tom is now showing me his naked body for free! Why would I refuse? I'm such a fool,' she thought.

Meanwhile, Tom smiled quietly and didn't mind that she just walked away. He then went into the bathroom. He was aware that it could take time for people to get used to something. Thus, he decided to give her time to adapt to him. Frankly, regardless of how much he loved that woman, he needed time to get used to her too. Suddenly living with someone was such a new phase to him as well anyway.

Long minutes had passed but Patricia still hadn't come back to their room. She said she would just drink water. Tom found it weird but then ignored it. Instead, he went straight into the study room. He simply didn't have time to spend with her since he got a lot of difficult cases to study.

Moreover, Tom was afraid that his friends might play a trick on him once they found out that he got married secretly. Thus, he was planning to tell things to them soon. His friends were a bunch of wild cats after all. He was pretty sure that there would be serious consequences for him if he wouldn't announce his marriage soon.

He had this thought in his mind when he picked his cell phone up and started dialing a set of numbers.

"Darn it, Tom! Why are you calling me so late at night?" It was Edward who first picked the phone up. He was sitting on the bed while gently shaking the wine glass in his hand. Daisy had to write a report tonight hence she didn't have time for him. That was such a mood bummer and Edward couldn't stop himself from sulking over it. It was also the reason why he sounded mad on the phone.

"What's the matter with you? I haven't said anything yet." Surprised, Tom thought, 'Who is Edward mad with? I shouldn't have telephoned him at this hour.'

"I want someone to keep me company. Will you do that for me?" Edward said angrily. He raised his head and finished the wine in his glass.

"No. You might as well have Daisy with you. I'm not a gay." Tom hurriedly refused as his mind answered silently. 'This guy must be kidding me. I'm not a gay. I don't want to be alone with a man so late.'

"What are you thinking about? You are so creepy." Edward poured himself another glass as if he wanted to make himself drunk.

"Excuse me? Do you remember what you just said? That's very misleading. Besides, you're the creepiest man in our group," complained Tom while thinking, 'Everybody says that I'm a good man. Not only am I in good shape and good-looking, but I also have a good career and good temper. How can Edward call me creepy? This is ridiculous.'

"Are you scolding me? Am I right?" An evil smile cracked Edward's lips. He would never argue with Tom if only Tom chose to be at his side.

"No, no, no. How dare I scold you?" denied the doctor. Even if Tom wanted to scold him, he wouldn't be that stupid to do so nor admit it.

"That's good. Now let's get back to the point. I heard you're married," said Edward casually, which surprised Tom out of his wits.

"What? How did you know? I was just about to tell you." Tom shook his head to dismiss his shock. He was married just yesterday and it was extremely surprising that Edward already knew about it. He surely got his way of getting information in record speed! "Have you forgotten who I am? You cannot hide anything from me." Edward sneered with a smug expression on his face.

"You are right. Then why should I call you? What a waste of time!" Tom felt so stupid. Not only was he scolded by Edward but he also wasted his time. However, he did not dare to let Edward know what he was thinking. The situation was bad enough and he didn't have plans to make it any worse.

"How do I know..." Edward said as he held his wine glass against his lips. He was about to say some more surprising facts when a slender hand suddenly grabbed the goblet he was drinking from.

"You're right. I was so stupid," said Tom gloomily as he thought, 'Am I too simple, or is Edward too cunning?'

A playful smile cracked Edward's lips upon realizing who grabbed his wine. He then looked up at Daisy who frowned at him. His breathing stopped for a while as he was taken aback by the most beautiful face he knew. Thus, he forgot that he was still on the phone with Tom. "Have you finished your report?" He finally managed to ask after a few seconds, not realizing that he still got his phone against his ear.

"What report? Who are you talking to?" Tom felt a little confused as he suddenly got no clue of what Edward was talking about.

"Yes. Who are you talking to on the phone?" Daisy raised her eyebrows. She shot the phone in Edward's hand a cold stare to remind him that he was still on the phone.

"Nobody." Edward hung up the phone immediately and turned all his attention to her.

"Hello? Hello?" Tom was frowning when he stared at his phone. 'Damn it! Nobody? How can he say that? Hum! Don't bother me next time you have troubles, Edward Mu. I am an insignificant person anyway.'

He let out a deep sigh and then slid his phone back to his pocket. If Edward already knew then most likely, everyone else did too. Thus, he didn't have to call them one by one. On a positive note, that saved him a lot of time.

Patricia had spent a lot of her time downstairs before deciding to go back to their room. A long sigh escaped her chest upon seeing that Tom wasn't in the room. She trudged towards their bed in relief and started to relax. Although she was not familiar with the place, the smell of Tom in bed gave her a certain peace of mind. Who could have thought that they would marry? Nonetheless, she was positive that things would be alright. She didn't know how many difficulties would be ahead of them but she knew that they would be able to solve them as long as they loved each other.

Unlike other men's bedrooms, Tom's room was exuding simple luxury. Every inch of it was highlighting his personal taste and fashion sense. However, Patricia thought that his room was dominated by cold tones with no warmth. The warmth of a particular place was the most important thing that women cared about. Tom's place was simply lacking it. Thus, it made Patricia a little uncomfortable.

There were a lot of things going through Patricia's head as she lay wide awake. She was getting jitters with the thought that she and Tom were going to sleep in the same bed. The feelings he stirred in her were still lingering all over her body. She didn't know if they would have the same passion tonight but she hoped that they would. She missed how his lips made trails against her skin. How he kissed every inch of her and how he claimed every part of her body.

Patricia's face instantly turned red upon realizing her train of thoughts. Thus, she looked even lovelier.

She was still stuck on the bed when Tom came in. His eyes landed on the stunning woman on his bed. Her white skin and long legs immediately had his heart skipping a beat. However, he soon recovered and approached her with fake composure.
