It'll Come Naturally
Chapter 511 Jonathan's Tea (Part Two)

"Actions speak louder than words! Show me. I never hurt people's feeling without any reason." Jonathan smiled tenderly. It turned out that being a good father was not that difficult. The point was whether you would like to show your kindness and tenderness at first.

"Well, I'd better stop. My wound hasn't fully recovered. Tom said I can't drink something that's too much of an irritant." Every child wanted to be the excellent child in front of his/her father. This thought had nothing to do with age but the eagerness to show off his/her talent. That's why Edward didn't want to act clumsy in front of Jonathan and tried to replace any excuse. Although his father would not necessarily pay attention to him, he still unconsciously avoided this kind of situation.

"Tea can't be an irritant. Are you trying to replace an excuse?" Jonathan continued enjoying his tea. Although it was really hard to drink, he kept calm on his face and didn't show it at all. There was no emotion showed on his face. He was such a calm man. No wonder he was a masterful figure.

"No, I am not replaceing an excuse. You don't believe me? You can call Tom." Edward was sure that Jonathan would definitely not call Tom himself. So he wasn't worried that he would see through his lie.

"He is your friend. Of course I can't get any useful information from him." Was he getting old? He felt touched by the conversation with his son, though they kept pointing barbs at each other.

"Well, now that you won't call him, I don't know what to do now. You can just stay here and enjoy your tea! I'm going upstairs to take a shower." Edward didn't continue giving tit for tat to him. Instead, he smiled brightly, stood up and walked away.

Jonathan's mind blanked out for a few seconds when he saw Edward turn around and walk away. They got along with each other quite well just now. Would his son make a big step towards him if he took one more small step toward him?

"You see! He will show his kindness and brightness to you when you are kind to him. Actually what our son wants is very simple. He doesn't require you to care about him all the time. As long as you can show your love and warmth for him occasionally, he will not stay cold anymore."

Cynthia had been hiding in the corner. She saw the first peaceful conversation between Edward and Jonathan silently. She had been worried that Jonathan would be as cold as before. She didn't expect that he could be humorous sometimes too. Although his face stayed cold and emotionless, there was an obvious change in the way and tone he spoke with Edward.

"You told me to be nice to him." Jonathan frowned slightly. Everyone would never know the happiness they had until they lost it. He was no exception. So he started to value the time when he could get well along with his son.

"Oh, should I thank you?" Cynthia rolled her eyes at him amusingly. She said that in order to make them get along with each other peacefully. Had anyone heard about a father and son who would be mean to each other whenever they were together? Not too often. Only her husband and son acted like this.

"Oh, you don't need to do that. But if you thank me in a special way, I wouldn't mind it." Jonathan smiled evilly. He was digging a pit for her as could be told from his guileful eyes. Cynthia knew what he thought about at the sight of his eyes. Her face flushed immediately. "I'm not going to talk to you. Just enjoy your tea here! I'll go upstairs to see how's he doing." Cynthia felt that this man in front of her was totally a terrorist with a dual character. He was ruthless to others, but as long as he was alone with her, he was evil yet enchanting. She would be so shy to face such a man.

Jonathan smiled without denying it. He didn't try to stop her either. He was extremely generous today. This situation was impossible in the past. It seemed that he figured out many things this time from Edward's injury.

"Yes?" Edward just finished his shower and stepped out from the bathroom. He saw his mother look at him with an interesting smile. So he involuntarily pulled the bath towel on his body with the thought that he might not be well covered by it.

"Nothing. I'm just bored. So I am here to enjoy spending time with my son after his shower." Cynthia took the clean towel aside and waved at him, indicating he should sit next to her.

"You are bored? Didn't you see someone lonely there?" Edward twisted his mouth. He was uncertain what his mother was planning in her heart. But he did what she had asked him to do and sat down in front of her. He acted like a cute boy. Well. He had no way to refuse his mother at the sight of her gentle smile. His heart would melt unconsciously and he would forget to keep his distance from her.

"But why do I feel you're even lonelier?" Cynthia wiped his wet hair gently. She felt a lump in her throat. This was the family atmosphere she wanted. She didn't expect that Edward would be very close to them, but she wanted to change current situation and be more loving to him.00000000000000
