It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 171

"What does he mean?" Rain looked at Duke confusedly. He never said Edward was weird, only germ-phobic. How come Edward clapped back like that?

"He meant what he said. Aren't you an educated man? How come you don't understand what he meant?" Rain always seemed like a know-it-all. Duke delighted in his obliviousness just now.

"I only understand what normal people think, not a weirdo like Edward." Rain didn't like being beaten in anything, particularly when it came to intelligence. He would even pretend to win.

"Ugh! Save your pride. You'll admit defeat someday." Duke sneered and dropped it.

"Auntie Leena, stop following me! I give, okay?" Justin ran downstairs, Leena close behind. It seemed they hadn't sorted things out.

"No way! You have to tell me why!" Leena kept riding Justin for an answer. Why did he dislike her? She was too stubborn to give up. She must know.

"Okay, okay. You really wanna know?" Justin asked coolly. As he said this, he suddenly stopped and crossed his arms. He glared at Leena and tried to act cool.

"Yes. Yes I do." They'd forgotten all about Duke and Rain, who were silent witnesses to their conversation.

"You made my mom sad. So I'll make you sad." Justin's reply made everyone blink in surprise.

"When on earth did I make Daisy sad? I have no idea." Leena was surprised. She liked Daisy so much. She never wanted to make her sad.

"Huh! That day you hugged dad. Mom and I saw you." Justin answered angrily, still glowering at Leena. Everyone had been only partially paying attention. Now they were engrossed.

"Well. Edward and I hug all the time. Why was Daisy upset about that?" Leena was more confused now. After all, she'd hugged Edward like that since she was a little kid. And now she wasn't supposed to?

Justin started to reply, but was blocked by Daisy's hand covering his mouth. She was embarrassed. If she hadn't come out to tell them dinner was ready, who knows what he would have said? Then she might well be too ashamed to see everybody. "You'll have to excuse Justin. Sometimes even he doesn't know what he's saying."

"Really?" Leena shot Daisy a confused glance. But then she saw Belinda standing behind her. Leena's eyes went wide and she tried to make herself smaller. She just got Duke off her back, but forgot that Belinda might want her turn.
