It'll Come Naturally
Chapter 381 Rain, You Are Courting Death (Part Three)

Justin's little speech rendered Tom completely mute. He wondered, 'where did Justin learn those sayings from?' At the same time, Tom had to admit that Justin was really good at debating. Although Tom was good at holding a scalpel, he knew nothing about how to debate with others. Now that Justin stated his opinion sternly and seriously, Tom's mouth dropped open. He froze for a while and still didn't know what he could say to fight back.

As much as Edward was angry that Justin gave away his real thoughts, he was now quite proud of his son. They were family. No matter how mad they got at each other, they should stick together against their enemies. 'But did he really have to bring up that saying?' Edward pondered, 'What did he mean by 'everyone does everything for their own benefit'? Was he really trying to defend me? Or did he just insult me?"

After hearing the whole conversation, Brian gave his little nephew the thumbs up. He only met Justin for the first time last night at the party; but after talking with him, Brian knew that this little boy was much smarter than his peers. Brian knew Daisy was kind and gentle, so Justin must have inherited his slyness from his father, because Edward was also a cunning man. Like father, like son. Brian suddenly had a feeling that the FX International Group would take off again when Justin took over the business from his father. After all, Justin's talent had already flowered at such an early age.

"Justin, you sound like some ancient sage. Did you time travel in your dreams and learn those words of wisdom from some wise man last night? I couldn't think of where else you could learn these words!" Belinda was still depressed and thinking about Duke, but when she heard Justin saying something wise with his childish voice, she couldn't help bursting into snickers. She chipped into their conversation and made fun of Justin, which finally distracted her from Duke and made her feel better. Therefore, when she saw Duke come in the room, she didn't feel as happy as she thought she would be.

"Auntie Belinda, I know you didn't meet the sage in your dream last night, because you must have been busy looking for uncle Duke. You couldn't spare any time for someone else. Am I right?" As soon as Justin heard Belinda's voice, he turned around and made a joke of her. Although he was only a 5-year-old kid, there was a hint of slyness and devil-may-care smile glowing in his eyes, which didn't befit his age at all.

"Hey, little one! I was praising you! Do you want to get punished? Dreams are supposed to be warm and sweet! Who would look for an iceberg in their dreams? I'm not crazy!" Belinda immediately retorted as she withdrew her hand from Duke, who sat right next to her and held her little hand just a few seconds ago. Besides, Belinda acted as if Duke was carrying some deadly disease; she moved aside and almost leaned against Brian without even glancing at Duke the whole time. She determined to keep Duke at arm's length. With a frown, Duke reached out his arm, and with a sudden burst of strength, he held Belinda's slim waist and pulled her away from Brian and back to his arms. After that, he gazed at Belinda and curled his lips into a small sneer. At that night, Duke drove away Rachel and enjoyed the love of his life leaning against his chest. He couldn't be happier at the moment.

Brian was confused why one minute Belinda was leaning closer to him, and the next she backed off. Then he noticed the strong arm around Belinda's waist. Following the arm, Brian saw Duke's smirk, and he suddenly let out a tacit smile. It turned out that when men were in love, they became childish and unreasonable and got jealous of almost anyone and anything without a proper reason. Edward was a perfect example. However, Brian was surprised that someone who seemed as cold and indifferent as Duke would also act like this. Brian suddenly felt lucky that he hadn't fallen in love with someone. Picturing himself getting jealous and desperately needing a woman's attention, Brian shuddered in terror all of a sudden.

"Alright, everyone is here...except for Leena. What happened? Didn't anyone call her?" Tom looked around the room and asked doubtfully. No way! Did anyone remember to call their little princess? Or did everyone think someone else had called her? "Don't ask me, I have no idea what happened. Anyway, I'm more interested in whose idea it is to get us all together. Even Justin is here. It's a nightclub, for Christ's sake. I don't even know why I'm here; how should I know whether or not someone called Leena?" Edward was bewildered. Edward had planned to have an romantic dinner with Daisy, but Brian's sudden appearance ruined everything. Finally when the dinner was over and Edward thought he could get rid of Brian and bring his wife home to have some really intimate moment, he received a call from Duke, telling him to come to the club. He had to change his plan again after that call. It seemed to Edward that Daisy had no idea how much he loved and cared for her, and she was giving him the cold shoulder, which made Edward feel more depressed. They had come into the room since awhile ago; why didn't she try to coax him? Edward wasn't really mad at Daisy; he just wanted her to say something nice and sweet so it wouldn't be too awkward for him to talk to her again, since he was supposed to be angry. However, sitting right next to him, Daisy seemed to have no intention of talking to Edward, which made Edward feel frustrated. Although he really wanted to make peace with Daisy and hold her in his arms, he couldn't do anything if Daisy didn't say something first.

"Justin is the reason why we're here tonight. Never mind Leena, who knows where she is. Now, let me tell you why we're here! We're here to celebrate that Justin has officially become a student in elementary school! That's the very first step to taking over his father's company and conquering the business world! Let's bring out the cake!"

Rain was always energetic and loved these sorts of events. After he excitedly announced the reason why they were here, everyone in the room became cheerful, even though some of them were wearing a long face just a few moments ago. Because of Rain's words, Edward and Daisy exchanged surprised looks, which was the very first time they looked at each other after they stepped into the room. Edward suddenly remembered that he was supposed to be angry with Daisy, so he immediately looked away before Daisy could say anything.

"Wow! Really? A cake? You're not lying to me, are you, uncle Rain?" As a foodie, Justin was excited as long as there was something delicious. Everything else could wait when it came to food. Upon hearing the word 'cake', Justin's face lit up, his eyes turning into crescent shapes with joy. He looked adorable like that.

"Hey, little boy. Aren't you going to give a toast? Why do you only think about eating! To those who know you well, they know you're a foodie who couldn't wait to have a taste when you see food; but to those who don't know you, they might think you have been abused by your parents and starved for days!" Rain wouldn't waste even the slightest chance to get back at Edward. Now that seeing Justin eagerly waiting for the cake, Rain couldn't help but strike again. Only this time, he made it seem like he was teasing Justin, but incidentally involved Edward on his joke. He felt justified, and the idea amused him.
