It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 1794

"Richard, I haven't seen you for ages. You are taller and bigger now," Owen said. At university, he majored in finance which was not his favorite. He was jealous of Richard because unlike him, Richard could study what he liked at his favorite university. Owen had to do as his father commanded even though he had no interest in his major. He knew his dad forced him to major in finance because he wanted Owen to help in his brother's work in the future. But Owen really hated to do something he wasn't passionate about. Working in the financing industry wasn't his dream. His dream was to be an astronaut.

"Are you kidding? I thought I had stopped growing," Richard said surprised. Richard straightened his back and approached Owen, he found that after all these years, he had indeed grown much. They were almost the same height.

"No kidding. Uncle Kevin and aunt Leena are both very tall. You inherited all the tall genes passed on from your parents, so you wouldn't be a short guy," Owen said. Besides Jasmine, Owen also liked to talk with Richard because he was full of youthful spirit which Owen himself lacked. He had achieved what Owen hadn't. Whatever he saw in Richard, he wanted for himself. He had great admiration for him.

"Joyce, come over here," said Jasmine waiving her arm at Joyce. She wasn't expecting her at the party and was excited to see her.

"Richard and Owen are all back. But I heard that their holidays are supposed to start in a couple days," Joyce wondered. Catching the hems of her full-length gown, Joyce walked towards Jasmine. Joyce was a beautiful girl with long black hair and dark eyes. She liked to wear gowns along with diamond necklaces and she looked fabulous and graceful when she wore them.

"Joyce, I haven't seen you in a while. You look gorgeous tonight," said Richard not taking his eyes off her. He was totally obsessed with her.

Owen on the other hand was more reserved, he wasn't vocal with his feelings. He was too shy to give a girl a compliment so he just smiled at Joyce and didn't say anything.

"Really? Well, thank you. You are so sweet. I'm flattered. But I bet you say that to every girl that you meet," Joyce teased crossing her arms. She didn't buy it at all.

"I can't believe you said that, that's so offensive. I'm a soldier and I have my dignity. Don't put a label on me and regard me as a random playboy," Joyce's words irritated Richard. He praised her because she really did look stunning tonight. As a soldier, he represented the army. He couldn't stand that she mocked him.

"I agree with Joyce. Why can't you be a playboy?" Jasmine said thoughtfully as she looked at Richard's handsome face with a smile. She found it interesting to make fun of him.

"Jasmine, you're not entitled to judge me. It's none of your business," said Richard angry. He and Jasmine got along very well. He was surprised that she chose to join Joyce in making fun of him instead of supporting him.

"Everyone is here now. Eden, do you know all the people here?" asked Patricia with a friendly smile. She wanted to know how many people he already knew before she introduced him to them.

"You're Eden! So nice to meet you. I have heard so much about you," said Jasmine walking towards him. His face was familiar. He reminded her of her uncle Rain for some reason.
