It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 750

"Are you sure you don't have time?" Duke continued to ask him. He leaned back in the chair, like he didn't have a care in the world.

"Strictly speaking, it's not that I don't have any time at all. It all depends on why you're taking me to lunch." Tom circled the last spot on the computer screen, and checked the surgical simulation results on the computer. But the result was not that satisfying, he felt a little depressed and began to research other feasible operation plans.

"Why do you think there has to be a reason for me to take you to lunch? I'm not your boss, who has purposes behind his every request for you." While saying this, Duke felt a little guilty. Because like Tom had predicted, he did have ulterior motives for feeding him.

"Cut the crap! Do you think I don't know what's on your mind? You want me to check on Belinda's wounds, right? Just bring her to my office in the hospital. I'm super-preoccupied and can't go out today." His theories for the surgery proved unworkable, so he had to go back to the drawing board, and rework everything.

"What's up Tom? Why are you so busy?" Duke furrowed his brows. Everyone he hung out with hated hospitals. Tom was an exception -- as well he should be -- because he was a doctor. That was why Duke wanted Tom to come to his house.

"Ah! I don't really want to talk about it. I'm working out ways to save Edward's love rival now." Tom intentionally stressed the word "love rival". Probably because they had known each other for a very long time, so in regular cases, they could practically read each others' minds.

"What love rival? Are you kidding me?" Subconsciously, Duke felt Tom was messing with him. In his memory, Tom was indeed very generous, but to save a troublemaker who would cause nothing but drama? That wasn't like Tom at all. He looked very gentle and elegant from his appearance, but he was definitely a wicked man in Duke's eyes.

"You can call him and ask him yourself if you don't believe me. I can't explain it in detail now. But don't mention that I told you this." Edward couldn't know that the news about his love rival would spread so quickly. Tom knew that it was somewhat confidential, but he was so overworked that he let it slip. Besides Edward, only Tom knew about this matter. He was so stupid to warn Duke not to mention him in front of Edward. Edward was so clever, he would immediately figure out that Tom tipped the news to Duke without hesitation.

"Do you think I'm that stupid to find trouble for myself? I probably won't even bring it up. Let's drop it now, we can talk when we meet at noon." Duke shook his head. The matter of saving his love rival might have already been a very depressing thing to Edward, if Duke asked Edward about it, that would undoubtedly be adding fuel to the fire. Edward's angry fire might also burn Duke. So he would not be stupid enough to take that risk.

"Okay. Don't forget to bring me some lunch when you come to my office later." Tom didn't take his eyes off the X-Ray film on his table, he was so busy, so he took it for granted when he asked Duke to bring him lunch.

"Am I your takeout delivery guy?" Duke said, gritting his teeth. Why did he have to prepare lunch for the doctor when he went to the hospital?

"Haha... You offered to take me out, so get some food on your way here. I don't see a problem here. Remember to bring some food I like." As soon as Tom finished his words, he hung up immediately. If he was right, Duke would shout at him angrily later. So in the interest of saving his ears, not to mention his phone's speaker, he hung up before Duke could scream at him.

Hearing the phone being hung up, Duke's face twisted with rage. He gripped the cellphone firmly in his hand. 'Fine, Tom, you are such a dick to hang up on me like that. Wait and see how I punish you later, ' Duke thought.

After a whole night's work, Leena finally stitched all the pearls onto the wedding dress. Although the pearl was not a very precious thing to them, since they were a rich family, it had always been an image symbolizing wealth, perfection, happiness and nobility. And that was exactly what she wanted to express for her blessings to Duke and Belinda.

Satisfied with her work, Leena lifted up the dress and pressed it to her body to see how it looked. Looking herself in the mirror, she smiled shyly. The bashful smile made her look all the more pretty and lovely. Remembering that their wedding day was approaching in a few days, although she was a little tired, she still quickly put the dress inside a bag. But when she took the bag and was ready to go, she somewhat felt she forgot something. After thinking for a while, she suddenly realized that she had forgotten to pack the bridegroom's tuxedo.

She carefully took out the tuxedo she had prepared for Duke from the wardrobe and carefully put it into another bag, trying her best to keep it smooth. Probably it would get wrinkled when she arrived at his house, it didn't matter. She could use the steam iron to remove the wrinkles. Of course, she also needed to bring the cocktail dress for Belinda, the one she would wear after the wedding ceremony. So she had prepared everything in regards to their wedding garments, and the couple didn't have to worry about it at all.

She checked again to make sure she didn't forget anything. Happy with that, she walked outside delightedly. Although it was autumn now, the sun was still scorching hot. So she immediately put on her sunglasses as soon as she stepped out of the house. With several big bags in her hands, she looked uncomfortable, trying to handle them all and walk at the same time.
