It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 753

"Don't rush me! At least give me some time to finish my lunch first!" Tom exclaimed. He gulped, because his stomach was rumbling, and his mouth was producing extra saliva. He could almost taste the meal that was waiting for him. Tom took the food container Duke brought and placed it on the table in front of him. But what he didn't expect was that Duke quickly stopped him.

"Well, you can finish your lunch after taking a look at her wounds! We're in a hurry here. Besides, won't you feel embarrassed with us watching you when you're the only one eating?" Duke couldn't take the risk. What if Tom was unable to take a look at Belinda's wounds after he ate his lunch? After all, he had asked Giselle to put 'extra effort' in preparing Tom's food.

"Are we in a hur --" Not waiting for her to finish her words, Duke hurriedly put a hand over her mouth and stopped her from continuing.

"What are you doing? You got me really confused here. What are you hiding?" Tom looked at the couple, feeling quite confused about their behavior. Why did he suddenly have a bad feeling about this?

"Of course nothing! You know, our wedding ceremony is in a couple of days. Though the wedding planner has helped a lot, there are still a lot of details we need to work out. So we are really busy these days. Definitely in a hurry." Duke didn't even blush as he lied to Tom's face. In fact, every little detail of the wedding ceremony had been taken care of, and all they needed to do was show up. Then, everything would be perfect.

"Really? You're not messing with me?" Tom stared at him, eyes wide. Though Duke tried to reassure him, he still couldn't completely believe him. He still thought there was something that Duke was hiding from him. The trick was figuring out Duke's game, which wasn't easy given Duke's poker face.

"No, why would I do that? You don't believe me? Now, you're just wasting our time." Duke rolled his eyes, feeling a bit annoyed at his question. Why couldn't Tom just trust him and get it over with? Of course he lied. How could he let Tom know the truth?

"Well, it's not my fault that you are smiling all weird today. Remember, you never smile! But ever since you walked into my office, you haven't even stopped smiling once. Can you really blame me for being paranoid?" Tom said, and gestured for Belinda to roll up her sleeve at the same time. And he glanced at Duke from time to time. He still didn't trust Duke. There must be something wrong with all this.

"You must be working too hard. Since when did I ever smile?" Duke coughed, feeling a bit embarrassed. Was he really that obvious?

"Ha? Really?" Tom's brows furrowed. Was he really out of his mind? Were his eyes deceiving him? Maybe he really had worked too hard this morning.

"How are her wounds? Will they completely heal before the wedding day?" The corner of Duke's mouth twitched, and he didn't respond to Tom's question, instead just asked about the wounds on Belinda's body.

"I wish I have better news. These wounds are just starting to heal. It will be great if they heal nicely before the wedding day. But if you also want the scars to be completely gone before your big day, then sorry, I guess that's not possible. I can't really help you right now." The frown on Duke's face deepened. How could he possibly forget that Belinda would be wearing a wedding dress in a couple of days? What was he thinking?
