It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 26

"Didn't he eat anything?" Edward's handsome eyebrows were knitted with worry.

"Only a few bites. He didn't feel good." Rain Xia was anxious. He wanted to prepare some food for Justin. It was easier to recuperate with food in his belly.

"I'll call Mrs. Wu. She'll cook up some supper. And then you can go bring it here." He reached into his pocket and pulled out his mobile phone. He did so organically; it was a seamless, smooth maneuver.

"You can go back and get the food." Rain said. "I think you have time to take a bath. Justin will probably be asleep for a while." He knew that Edward did not like being hot and sweaty. It was very uncomfortable for him.

Edward had planned to ask Mrs. Wu to arrange clothes for him and have Rain bring them to him. If he just went there himself, he wouldn't need to ask Rain. He could also catch a shower while he was there.

"I'm headed back. Call me if something happens." He bent down to kiss Justin's forehead, Then he was gone.

"Go!" said Rain. "You've wasted enough time!" Rain Xia was confused. Why didn't he know that his boss was so long-winded?

When Edward arrived, he saw that Mrs. Wu had made porridge and appetizers. He also got the chance to shower, and felt much fresher afterward. After he toweled himself dry, it suddenly struck him that Justin was whispering something when he had a high fever. He then went to Justin's room to get his phone. Justin could get through to his mother now.

He took the phone and unlocked the screen to check the battery life. He found several missed calls. He clicked one and the screen displayed "Mommy". There was also a text message waiting for the phone's owner.

Edward looked at the message and hesitated. Finally, he decided to click it. It showed "Justin, what's the matter with you? Why didn't you answer? Didn't you see the message I sent to you last night? I'm really worried about you. Call me back when you see this message." What he read was warm, like a tender spring breeze on his face. It was in direct contrast to the coldness she showed when last they were together.

Edward took the phone and went down the stairs. Luke called to him when Edward was about to take the food.

"Sir, let me take it!" Luke took the supper and put them into the car. Edward knew that Luke would worry about his safety and follow him as it was late. He said nothing but follow Luke.

"Luke, why are you doing this?" Edward was confused by Luke's behavior.

"Sir, Let me drive for you tonight!" Luke opened the car door grimly, deliberately.

Edward looked at Luke's face, and understood that he was being helpful, as always. Trying to anticipate Edward's needs.

Luke needed to learn to relax. He took his orders very seriously. Edward was merely a little tired today, Luke even didn't allow him to drive.

Luke drove the car smoothly. But his cold face always had Edward doubting whether Luke was truly Duke's brother. Why were both of them so stone cold?
