It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 1796

"They remind me of when we were young. Time really passes quickly. Now they've grown up. We are all getting old now," Edward said. He seemed to be overwhelmed with sorrow.

"Of course we are old now. That's nature's order. No one can stay young forever like your parents. Seems like you want to have eternal youth," Rain joked. It was true that Edward's parents looked much younger than their peers because they had a healthy lifestyle but they were inevitably still getting old. Like Rain said, no one could beat mother nature.

"No. Don't get me wrong. In fact, nothing counts, and death is coming for us all. If I wanted to change the order of nature, I'll be damned," Edward said. His parents looked younger than their peers because they kept a positive mind. And they loved each other so much so they didn't fight. They were always in a good mood. But these days he found that they both looked a little bit older. He thought they must have concerns now. He was worried about their physical health.

"But you look younger than us. Are you keeping some secret from us? Actually you didn't tell us who you really are. Are you a descendant of some immortal creature?" Tom joked with a smile. Like Edward, he also missed the old days when they were young and free.

"What did you say? How dare you? I can't believe you regard his parents as immortal creatures. I'll tell them what you said about them," Rain joked. He was the most fun one out of all of them. He always made them laugh by making fun of somebody's way of dressing or telling an amusing story.

"Go ahead. Tell them what he said," Edward said with a smile. As their son, he had a great admiration for his parents. They had been through a lot and at this age, their love for each other was still strong. Their love commenced with a casual attraction but bloomed into a mature love and rich life.

"When we grow old and grey, I hope we can still put our wife first like we do now. Then I can say that my love remains the same until death do us apart," Duke said. As he hit middle age, he started to feel that love was precious. Love was also fragile, so lovers needed to be as intentional with love as they were with work. He seldom envied people, but Jonathan and Cynthia's love made him feel envious and he also respected them a lot.

"As long as we hold this belief, I believe we can make it," Kevin said. He lived by those words. After all these years, his love for Leena remained the same.

"Love is mutual. If you love your wife unconditionally, she will love you the same. In the end, the love we take will be equal to the love we make," Edward said with a smirk. Even though there had been quarrels between them, but after every fight, they loved each other more and more. When they just got married, he didn't expect that their relationship would last long. Now he felt like that love should be like wine. The longer you kept it, the stronger it would taste. Daisy had become the rock of their family, the love of his life.

"You are right, Edward." Everybody agreed with him because they all had been through similar things. Love was patient, love was kind, love was not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude. When you were with your lover, you could share problems, and it would make your love stronger.

"Did Eden come back to succeed you," Rain asked trying to change the subject because the atmosphere was getting too sentimental.

"No, not now. He is still a student now. It will take him a few years to graduate," Tom replied. He found that Eden was acting strangely after he came back home. He must be hiding something from him.

"Don't worry. It's only a matter of time before he succeeds you. You know, time really passes quickly. You just need to wait patiently," said Edward soothingly. He had already retired. He was the only one who enjoyed life to the fullest among them.

"That's easy for you to say. You are retired now, enjoying life. But I have to work hard because I'm the boss," Duke snorted and complained. He was busy running two companies now. He had hoped that Richard would learn Business Administration at university to help him run the business. But he decided to go to military school despite his heavy opposition. He also blamed Kevin for not persuading him to change his mind. Kevin was a soldier himself, he knew what it took to become an excellent soldier.
