It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 1787

"His phone is turned off, so I can't even talk to him," Jasmine said, sighing. She was down in the dumps. Since Richard began attending the military school, she hardly saw him these days.

"Maybe he's in a training class now. Well, let him be. Let us go then, just you and me!" Justin took her hand and strode towards the elevator. They had usually gathered together in a young group because of their parents' friendships. But now, most of them had gone abroad for further study, and Justin had started work. He could understand Jasmine's feeling lonely.

"Okay, let's go!" Jasmine agreed, then stopped suddenly as her brain flirted upon another thought, "Wait a minute. I just remembered that Joyce returned several days ago. Let me find out if she wants to join us!" She took out her phone again, beaming with pleasure. Joyce was a total goddess in Jasmine's eyes. During the years, the girl of the Xia family's twins had grown into a beautiful lady. She had cultivated an air of nobility and elegance, but she also did well in her studies.

"Oh, you're right! I almost forgot that. She must be on her summer vacation now," Justin said slapping his forehead. Joyce had become a quiet and gentle lady, and it was difficult for those who knew her as a child to recall that she had been a rude and unreasonable child. Her ethereal beauty made her look like a fairy. And as if with a magic wand, she had them all enthralled to her.

Joyce was still in her bed when Jasmine called. She had stayed up writing an essay the night before. Stretching out her hand to take her phone from the night table she put it near her ear. "Hi. Who's that?"

"Hello, Jasmine here! Joyce, you sound sleepy. Are you still in bed? Oh, come on! It's almost noon!" Jasmine teased. She could tell that Joyce hadn't yet risen from her vague voice.

"Good morning, Jasmine. Is something the matter?" Joyce asked, yawning. She sat up in her bed and glanced at the alarm clock on the night table. It was already eleven o'clock. 'No wonder Jasmine is making a fuss, ' she thought.

"Justin wants to treat me to lunch! Would you like to come with us?" Jasmine almost pleaded. She waited for her answer expectantly. Joyce didn't attend the university in their city, and she hadn't seen her in a long time.

"Of course I would. Tell me where I should meet up with you. I'll be there as soon as I can." Joyce replied. She climbed out of bed and stood collecting her thoughts in front of the dressing mirror. Her eyes were a little swollen because of her lack of sleep.

At the other end of the line, Jasmine turned to look at Justin and asked, "Where will we have our lunch?"

Justin pressed the button to open the elevator's doors as he said, "It's quite hot these days. What about having some light food? Tell her that we'll head for Aunt Leena's vegetarian restaurant." He reached out to his sister and pulled her into the elevator by the elbow, selecting the ground floor button.

"Joyce, Justin wants to eat at Aunt Leena's restaurant. Do you have any other suggestions?" Jasmine didn't really care where they had lunch because she wasn't a picky eater. But she knew it was different with Joyce - there were many dishes which she didn't like eating.

"No. That's fine with me. See you later!" Joyce hung up the phone. She spared another glance at herself in the mirror and then moved through to the bathroom.
