It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 1378

"Yeah, I will. At least for the time being. Why do you ask?" Claire liked her present life very much. In Paris, she could have the chance to start her career and pave the way to her dream. She had to make great efforts by herself because no one from her family could protect her here. Although Gerard gave her a hand from time to time, it was different from that of her family. Back home, she used to be very aggressive and did whatever she liked, taking advantage of her father being a big personality in the military. But here in Paris, her father would not have much power to help her, no matter how capable he was in the home country. Her life here also made her realize how rude and unreasonable she had been in the past. She cringed every time she remembered those days. It was hard to believe that she was once that kind of person who probably caused her family a lot of embarrassment.

"Oh, nothing. I'm just wondering. Don't you miss your family, living so far away from them?" Justin asked with his childish voice. Although he asked from the perspective of a kid, his question hit Claire. She could not help but become emotional.

"Then, Justin, tell me, do you miss your daddy and mommy?" Claire was afraid that she would break into a sob if she kept talking about this topic. So she did not answer the boy's question. Instead, she returned the question to him.

"Of course I miss them! I started to miss them as soon as I stepped into the plane. But my dad told me that I am a man, so I have to be strong as a man should be," the little man replied proudly, as if he were already an adult. There was pride on his face.

"Yeah! You are right. You are a man. So could you do me a favor now?" Claire felt that Justin was so cute when he talked like an adult. Her face also turned red because she had to suppress her laughter thanks to Justin's cuteness. How she wished she could laugh out loudly! But she was afraid that Justin might feel awkward. She would just have to try hard to hold that laughter.

"Okay. Say it! What can I do to help you?" Hearing Claire not tease him but even say that he was a man, Justin could not feel prouder. He straightened his back immediately, waiting for Claire's request. He stood so straight as if he was standing at attention when he did something wrong and Daisy punished him like a soldier.

"I'd like to go shopping. So, could you be my hero to protect me during the whole time?" Claire coaxed patiently. She believed that no matter how smart he was, he could feel extremely flattered when she said that she needed his help. He was a child, after all.

"Okay! You know what, Auntie Claire? I'm very good at taekwondo!" Justin did not exaggerate it. He might not be as strong as an adult in strength, but he did the moves excellently. He had a military mother and started training in the army base before. There was not doubt that he could do the taekwondo moves well.
