It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 1417

"There you are! I didn't think you'd be home yet." Leena happily walked up to Duke and cuddled up to him. Though they were brother and sister, she was always loved, so cuddles and hugs were common between them.

"What are you doing here?" Duke asked, pretending to be indifferent to her. In fact, in his mind, he really wanted her to visit more, but he wasn't about to let her know that.

"I miss you, silly! Not buying it? Alright, the truth then. I came for dinner." Leena looked up, smiled sweetly, and didn't mind how Duke felt when he heard that.

Belinda smiled, too, and thought, 'Does this guy still think he's the only one in Leena's heart? Ha-ha! He has a strong competitor now. And that is Kevin.'

"Where's Kevin?" Duke asked. He could never bring himself to like the guy, but he still cared about him.

"Kevin? Why do you care? You always give him a hard time. He's not here. He doesn't want things to be awkward," Leena said mischievously. She blinked, and thought, 'How can this big man be meaner than a woman? I've been married to Kevin for awhile now, and he's still mad. That's nuts.'

"Ha ha! He should know it's all in fun. Now wash up for dinner!" Duke frowned and seemed a little unhappy.

"Did you hear that, young lady? My husband asked you to wash your hands. So get your paws off him! He's mine!" Belinda said in a playful tone and raised her eyebrows. Sometimes Belinda envied the way they got along with each other, wishing she had a big brother like Duke to take care of her. 'She's lucky to have so many brothers like Duke. Why can't I get pampered too? Lame!' Belinda thought.

"Belinda, stop looking at me like that. It's scary." Leena shrank into Duke's arms, pretending to be frightened by Belinda.

"That's right. I'm giving you the jealous wife glare. So hands off!" Belinda said jokingly. She had always been blunt, with no filter.

"Hear that? She's threatening me." Leena turned to Duke and pouted in an exaggerated way.

"Yeah? So? She's pregnant now. She's allowed to be a little nutso. Just go wash your hands, okay?" Duke gave her a gentle kiss on the forehead, and then shook his head resignedly. Now he finally knew what it was like to be with two women at the same time. He wasn't sure he was entirely comfortable with that.

"Fine. I'll forgive her — for you." Leena pretended to be serious and bounced off to wash her hands happily.

"You spoil her so much!" Belinda said in an envious tone.

"What? You jealous now?" Duke took her gently in his arms, bowed his head, kissed her on the lips, and whispered in her ear, "See? That is the difference."

"Me? Jealous? Never!" Belinda retorted in a low voice. She pretended to be angry, but in fact she felt very warm in her heart.

"Ha! It's written all over your face." Duke called her out without hesitation. How could he not know what she was thinking as her husband?

"Yeah, I'm jealous. What of it?" Belinda looked up and raised her eyebrows at him. She had to look up — he was way taller.

"What am I gonna do with you? It's time to eat anyway. Don't make my kid go hungry." Duke knew she wasn't really angry, so he didn't take her words seriously. It was all in good fun.

"You only care about your baby." Belinda pursed her lips to show her displeasure. When women got pregnant, they got more sensitive.

"Bollocks! I care about both of you. Don't forget, the baby's in your tummy," Duke said resignedly, thinking, 'She's jealous of her own kid? Women do go nuts when they're pregnant.' In fact, Duke was told about this before, but he didn't take it to heart. So it always threw him for a loop, though it shouldn't.
