It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 270

"You have to ask Duke about that. We hardly know about it." Rain raised his eyebrows and glanced at Duke. This fellow seemed so smooth lately. Ever since he was with Belinda, Duke had been acting like he conquered the whole world, which bothered Rain big time.

"Don't. I didn't know anything until they'd already done it. I'm still trying to figure things out here." Duke was pissed off when they talked about that. He was so ready to kick Kevin's ass but his father showed up at that critical moment. Duke was a good son so he could do nothing but let Kevin take Leena away. Their father seemed okay with it. Duke respected his father and his decisions.

"By the way, who the hell is this Kevin? He seems like more than an ordinary soldier." Edward had met Kevin several times before. He noticed that Kevin had a imposing aura, which was unusual for a soldier. Edward knew that Kevin must have come from a noble family which was wealthy and sophisticated enough to shape his character.

"I heard he is from a noble family of the capital city. A military family. It seems every member of his family has high military rank. I don't know about the details. I only did some digging after he talked to my father that day. Nothing useful in fact. It almost felt like someone deliberately edited his profile and released it to the public." Duke was angry back then so he didn't join their talk in the study. All the information he had about Kevin was his own investigation.

"What? No way! So Leena picked a rich guy! Good for her!" Rain laughed out loud as he usually did. The extravagant laugh somehow suited his personality.

Edward said nothing; he simply played with his wine glass while staring blankly at the liquid. Then he suddenly raised the glass and gulped down his wine. He was alarmed by their words. He suddenly thought of the possibility of Daisy being someone else's wife with good family background and considerate personality. But thank God she loved him and chose him. He felt so lucky that Daisy loved him for all these years with all her heart, and her love for him never changed.

"We should definitely ask him out for drinks someday. I want to see what a man coming from a military family looks like." Tom usually seemed gentle and refined; however, the truth was that he could be as ruthless as Hades himself. He would kill without hesitation, and his enemy would die before they realized what had happened. Of course it only happened when someone had crossed the line, otherwise Tom would be like a sleeping lion, majestic but not harmful.

"What's wrong with you guys? Don't we have something to discuss? Why do we keep talking about that Kevin guy?" Duke still hated Kevin for stealing his sister, so he didn't want to talk about him or even hear his name.

"The biggest news today is Leena got married to that Kevin guy! Of course we're talking about him! What else do you think we should talk about? Your sex life with Belinda? Would you like to share? I wouldn't mind." Rain always tried to turn whatever they were talking into something dirty, and everyone hated that habit of his. But even so, he still wouldn't give up trying. It was his way to keep conversations interesting.

"Nope. Go find out with Annie if you're so keen on it. You won't learn anything from me." Duke narrowed his eyes and gazed at Rain with a sneer on his face, looking dangerously handsome. He couldn't beat Edward at a war of words, but he had millions of ways to make Rain beg for mercy. Apart from that, he'd learned a lot from Belinda lately.

"Damn it! I have no interest in you people! Forget it, I'll just drink." Rain nervously looked away and filled his glass with wine; he then drank absently without saying anything. Annie was like a stinger in his heart, and it hurt painfully whenever her name was brought up. It was like a ticking bomb inside him, which would blow up any minute and destroy all his senses. He had no idea how crazy he would become when that moment came.

Every one in this room had their own problems to worry about. They gulped down booze while talking, hence all of them were drunk by the time they left Sexy World. Luckily, Edward's bodyguards would see they get home safely.

Standing on the balcony and gazing at the starry sky, Annie was lost in her own thoughts. It was cold at night during the summer. Annie kept thinking about what happened at noon on a loop. Her heart was numb out of agony, the only thing she could feel at this moment was sorrow and loneliness. The more she cared for Rain, the further she fell. She was losing everything she had. The burden she carried was becoming increasingly heavier and almost suffocated her. She wanted to throw it away and ran as fast as she could.
