It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 1772

"Why are you back early?" Daisy asked while continuing down the stairs slowly, her face blushing a little.

"We couldn't wait to get back here and see you when we heard the news!" Cynthia chuckled. Before Daisy finished the last few steps, she came up and stretched out her hands to help her.

"Yeah! And grandma's been champing at the bit to see you!" Justin echoed. After the initial excitement wore off, Justin no longer clung to his mother. Instead, he stood by her like a steady young man, and looked at her belly with curious eyes. He was amazed that his mother's tummy contained another life, and was surprised by the magic power of the Creator's hands.

"Who started carrying on first, imp?" Cynthia pretended to be angry. After living together with Justin all these years, she got to know just how tricky this little guy could be. Like father, like son. You couldn't expect him to be a normal, obedient child when Edward was such a mischievous man.

"Grandma's going to spank me! Grandpa! Help!" Justin begged. He wouldn't back down so easily in front of others, but when it came to his grandparents...

"Behave, Justin," Daisy said sternly, scowling. She had no idea whether Justin was respectful 24/7, because she wasn't always home. But she was a bit angry to hear what he said just now.

"Just ignore them. You hungry? Need something to eat?" Cynthia asked with a look of pleasant expectancy. It was now clear that she was really giddy. She couldn't cook to save her life, but she forgot that in all the excitement.

"Save it, mom. If I wanted to be poisoned I'd find some chemical in the cupboards." Just then, Edward's voice came from behind Daisy. They looked up and saw him walking down unhurriedly. Though he was complaining, he could feel a gust of happiness sweep through him when seeing them talking and laughing. There was nothing better than a happy family.

"You're home?" Cynthia asked in surprise. She wasn't too happy about his joke. But honestly, he reminded her of her bad cooking, which she was too happy to remember just now. She felt a bit down when she thought about it. Because no matter how hard she tried to learn, she just couldn't assemble raw ingredients into delicious meals.

"What's so strange about me being home?" Edward responded, but it was Jonathan's expression that he was studying. Normally, this cold man would protect his wife and fend off Edward's jibes. He squinted at his father defiantly.

There were, of course, always exceptions. This time, Jonathan simply ignored his son. Instead, he walked to the sofa and sank comfortably into it, like Edward wasn't even around.

"You should be in a bar right now with Uncle Rain and Uncle Duke, and all of them. That's what usually happens," Justin chimed in. He just couldn't get enough of teasing his father about this, so he'd bring it up once in a while even though that was practically a different life.

"Hey. You know we haven't seen Spencer in a bit," Edward said, stroking his chin. It was typical of him to touch others' sore spots when he was attacked. He was such a crafty man after all.

"O-okay, Daddy. I'm sorry. I take back what I said." Justin flinched. Spencer's name alone sent a shiver down his spine. He would do everything he could to avoid that clingy little demon.

Edward sneered when he heard this. 'You're still too young to challenge me, ' he thought.
