It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 1557

As the days passed, Kevin gradually but steadily recovered. Meanwhile, Duke's son had reached his first month after being born. They named him Spencer, a name given by his grandfather Lloyd. The boy had impressively taken after his parents, and was both cute and handsome. In addition to the advantages of his fine genetics and physical features, he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, so it wasn't hard to presume that he would grow up in wealth and privilege.

Considering that the child was still new in the world and not strong enough, the Leng family decided to put off the celebration till he reached a hundred days, so that he could stay indoors to be protected from the alternating warmth and coldness at this time of the year. It was not a good time for a baby to stay out for too long.

Leena adored her nephew very much. She would go and see the boy whenever she was free, so it had become a ritual for Kevin to go to Duke's home to find his wife there after work. Naturally, they would have dinner there before going home every time. Leena joked about this matter by saying that they had no choice but to bum meals off them, since Kevin had donated all his money to the earthquake-hit area.

Sometime before the celebration, Leena, Patricia and Michelle all went shopping together. This had become something that they seldom had the chance to do, now that they had their separate and private lives. As punctual people, Leena and Patricia arrived on time, but Michelle was late as always. She explained that it was because she was rushing to finish a painting.

"Hey! What's the matter with you, Michelle? Didn't we set the date early yesterday? Why didn't you finish your painting last night?" Patricia asked, giving Michelle a meaningful smile when she discovered that her face blushed immediately.

"Well...something came up last night, so..." Michelle gave a little cough. Instead of continuing to explain, she grabbed the glass in front of her and took a gulp to hide her nervousness. She would never volunteer the information that she had actually spent a passionate evening with Luke last night.

"What happened? Was it serious?" Leena asked, half confused, half worried. Patricia tipped her a wink, but she just didn't get it at all.

"Let me guess: Was it something romantic? Something hot and spicy?" Patricia pressed on, still casting Michelle a look fraught with meaning.

"Are you talking about things between you and Tom? Look at your neck, there's still a kiss that's shimmering wet on it!" Michelle fought back, raising her head gloatingly.
