It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 1360

Duke became speechless when he heard her say so. Unfortunately, he couldn't scold her, let alone beat her. The only thing he could do was to talk her out of the idea of eating icy food by stressing her role as a future mother. But it seemed that he failed. Because he had underestimated how much a pregnant woman would crave certain kinds of food.

"Are you happy now?" Duke asked at an ice-cream parlor. In fact, he had called Tom to ask about this first. He only brought her here after he got Tom's confirmation. It had to be attributed to her good health. If it were Leena, it would be impossible for her to be allowed to eat ice cream during pregnancy.

"Yes, do you want to have one as well?" Belinda asked with a happy smile, as if what she was holding in her hand now was the most delicious food in the world.

"No, I don't. Stop pushing it to my face! You enjoy it yourself. But you can't eat too much, okay?" Duke frowned as he looked at the large bowl of shaved ice in her hand. He ordered for a small cup of the ice, but she insisted on a large one. So that was what she had now.

"Don't worry. I'll be okay. Didn't Tom say that I'm very healthy and occasionally eating icy food won't affect the baby?" Belinda was like a spoiled child who just got her sweet goodies. She had been smiling all the way back home and she looked more soft and gentle, a big contrast to the image of a strong business woman she used to be. Probably because of the increase of female hormone inside her body during pregnancy, she looked more tender as a loving expectant mother.

"You're only saying that because you want to eat ice water." Duke said helplessly. He loved her deeply after all. He had no choice but to let her have what she wanted.

"Duke, don't you agree? Time is an ingredient of magic and miracles! Who would think that we would fall in love one day and have our own baby?" Belinda sighed as she took a large spoon of the ice water into her mouth. She felt that time flew by quickly especially when she noticed the young lovers around her.

"No. Because I was already pretty sure that you were the special one for me at first sight. So what happened next was all natural to me." Duke said in a proud tone. He was quite self-assured.

"Duke, I mean it! I'm not kidding." Belinda stared at him. But she felt very happy deep in heart. That was the sweetness of love.

"Neither am I. Can't you feel the sincerity in my words?" Duke smiled and combed back her hair with his hand to keep it away from the ice water she was eating.

"I see nothing but a rascal in front of me right now!" Belinda grinned. She couldn't help but tease him. This was marriage. Couples turned to be alike in temperament after they lived with each other for a while. They might even merge into a single personality.

"Belinda, you should feel lucky that you are a pregnant woman now, otherwise you would see how I will make you convinced of what a rascal I am. And you'll regret it!" Duke wore a sly and arrogant smile, making him look all the more fascinating. It was as though all the lights shone on him as one spotlight and he became the only one underneath it.
