It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 714

"Are you tired?" asked Belinda. She noticed that he looked rather dull ever after coming out from the bathroom. It was not until then that she realized how inappropriate it was for her to have fallen asleep while he was helping her out.

"I'm fine. I've gotten used to working like this already. Could you make me another cup of coffee?" Pursing his dry lips, Duke asked as he closed his eyes drowsily.

"No problem. I will be back soon." Before leaving the room, she gave those documents a second glance, and was again pleasantly surprised by how well Duke had handled them. If Duke looked at her at that moment, he could surely read satisfaction on her face. Delighted, she went out, almost waltzing. Much like previously, she had no intention of letting her secretary help her with the coffee.

Soon after she left, Duke suddenly opened his eyes. It seemed that something had occurred to him, something he must remind her of. But it was too late. He couldn't do anything but sighed helplessly and continued with his nap. He was indeed tired. Unlike documents for approval, the documents he had just gone through were filled with numbers that needed to be checked with precision to the decimal points, which required more energy, not to mention that there were so many of them. It was not an easy task to finish them in such a short time even with his business prowess.

Belinda was quick this time. In just a few minutes, she came back with two cups of coffee. But she slowed down when she entered and found Duke sitting there with his eyes closed. She hesitated, wondering whether she should wake him up or not.

"I think it's about time. Get your stuff done as soon as possible, and we will eat out before going back tonight." Duke opened his eyes and said to her. He calmly took one of the coffee up and sipped a little. It didn't surprise him that it was sweet again. It was his fault for forgetting to remind her. He disliked the taste but he drank it slowly with the same cold composure.

"Are you starving?" Belinda asked tentatively. As she recalled, he barely ate anything this noon, it wouldn't be a surprise if he was hungry now.

"Lady, you had better not touch on such a sensitive topic when you're talking to a man. I don't think you can bear the consequences." Duke said, staring right into her eyes with his lips curled into a sinister smile.

"Sensitive? But I was only asking whether you are hungry or not..." But soon enough, Belinda clapped her hands to her mouth and glared at him. From his grin, she realized that he might be referring to sex-starved. Stepping back, she quickly kept him at arm's distance. That gave her the impression that all men were sexual creatures that thought of nothing but making love. What a pervert!

"Seems that you need no explanation." Duke chuckled and looked at her blushing face gloatingly. He was now totally refreshed by the joke he made. It was so much fun teasing her. Those harmless jokes seemed to have helped deepen their relationship. It was moments like these that gave them more happiness in their simple and peaceful life.

"I thought you were different from Edward, but as I see it now, you two are both well-dressed letches!" said Belinda flatly, rolling her eyes. Well, Edward would have never expected himself to be a collateral damage of their flirting.
