It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 688

"Little boy, as soon as my back was turned you talked shit about me, huh? You are such a brat!" Justin's words had barely faded away when Leena came over to him and spoke to him in a chilly voice. She had been standing only a short distance from him, so she heard what he just said.

"Come on! I was telling the truth. You are such a tigress. I don't understand how Uncle Kevin can stand you." Justin pursed his lips, grumbling as he looked fearlessly at Leena.

"What? Say that again! To my face this time!" Leena couldn't stand being derided by a child anymore. She decided to teach Justin a lesson this time.

"Aunt Belinda, help me! Aunt Leena is scaring me." Feigning fear, Justin threw himself into Belinda's arms and complained in a childish tone. His sweet voice immediately softened her heart.

"Belinda, don't be fooled by his innocent appearance. I'm telling you, he is a spoiled brat." Leena stared defiantly back at Justin who was making faces towards her unnoticed by Belinda. She was infuriated and wondered if she was really able to get along with him. He never seemed to have a kind word for her.

"Come on, Leena. He is just a kid. Why sink to his level?" Belinda comforted Leena with a frown. She didn't understand why Leena always argued with Justin. He was always a well-behaved boy! Why couldn't they just get on well with each other?

"Exactly. Aunt Leena, you are a married woman. Why do you always have it in for a little kid? You are so rash!" Justin feared nothing now that Belinda had his back. Leena, meanwhile, was fuming at his words. But she couldn't do anything to him, not with someone around to protect him.

"So you like playing at being just a little kid. In my eyes, you are so much like Edward -- and more cunning than most adults. Never mind, I won't stoop to your level. We're done." Leena shook her head and sat down on the chair that used to belong to Justin. She felt stupid arguing with a little boy. Justin just chalked this up as a win. He was delighted, and shared his delight with Belinda. He got her involved in a game, lighting up her gloomy face with joy.

Duke had let his eyes settle upon Belinda all this time. Seeing her smiling face, he gave her a knowing smile. Since she had time to make unfair accusations and go mad with jealousy, he decided to find something for her to do, so that she would have no time to be at odds with him.

"Leena, you lost to Justin so soon, eh?" Edward was amused by Leena's angry expression and teased her with a smile.

"Edward, I didn't lose to him. I just don't want to lower myself to the same level as him." Leena picked up the glass in front of Edward and swallowed the contents in one gulp. It was not until a spicy taste filled her mouth and throat that she then realized what she had gulped down. She began to cough violently.

"Drink it slowly. What's the hurry?" Edward patted her back in profound resignation and handed her a paper towel.

"Cough! Cough! Edward, it's not water!" She could barely speak, her voice was so hoarse. Staring at the empty glass before her, she felt like weeping and her face contorted to contain the tears.

"Who told you it was water? Justin?" Edward couldn't help grinning at the funny scene. He didn't understand why Justin and Leena disliked each other and always played tricks on each other. Leena was such an adorable girl in front of others. But whenever she was with Justin, she became rude and mean.

"Waah! I hate Justin!" Leena felt hurt, and wondered why Justin always made fun of her. She decided not to provoke him in the future.
