It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 778

"You can have the rest. I'm going upstairs to take a bath." After swallowing the noodles, Duke stood up and left the dining room in a rush. He strode towards the bathroom on the second floor. Belinda relaxed a little, wondering why Duke left in such a hurry.

Duke entered the bathroom. Instead of turning on the water, he leaned against the wall, taking deep breaths to calm himself down. He pressed his hand over his chest, feeling the fast pounding of his heart. He closed his eyes in deep contemplation.

Just now, he felt a sudden compulsion to tell Belinda that he had fallen deeply in love with her and that he wanted to spend the rest of his life with her. But the idea that she might dismiss his confession was torture to him. Before he could blurt it out, he left the dining room in a hurry. He was afraid that he would act impulsively.

Belinda didn't even say a single word about Rachel to Duke because she didn't think it was necessary. It was all wishful thinking on Rachel's part and it had nothing to do with Duke. It would be unfair to Duke if Belinda took out her anger on him. Although Belinda was a little upset about Duke and Rachel's past, she knew that everyone had a history. She just had to get over it. She was sophisticated enough to take things in stride.

Belinda ate the noodles in the bowl with determination. Although she was already full, she was reluctant to throw the leftovers away. Duke lovingly cooked the noodles for her. She didn't want to waste anything.

When she went upstairs after she was done, Duke was still in the bathroom. Belinda walked around the room in an attempt to digest the noodles faster. She ate too much and there was an uncomfortable feeling in her stomach. She fell into a trance as she walked, thinking about her relationship with Duke. The sudden happiness she felt took her by surprise. It was easy to satisfy Belinda. A bowl of noodles made by Duke was enough to make her happy.

"What are you doing?" Duke walked out of the bathroom with a bath towel wrapped around his waist. He looked at Belinda in confusion.

"Nothing! You're done with your bath?" Belinda was used to seeing Duke's half-naked body everyday. But every time she saw his firm body, her face flushed shyly and her heartbeat would quicken. She looked away awkwardly.

"Yes. I have some work to finish. I'm going to the study now. Give me your business documents, so I can go through them." Duke had been helping Belinda review the business documents of her company recently and had grown accustomed to the habit. He didn't mind working harder to make things easier for his wife. He couldn't help but do these things for her without asking for anything in return.

"Now? It's very late!" Belinda shook her head in disapproval. Although she brought the documents back for him to review, she was planning to ask him to go through them in the morning as it was almost 1 o'clock in the morning already. She didn't want him to overwork himself.

"I'm good. I'll just go to bed with you. You ate so much. I guess you won't go to bed so soon." Duke grabbed an evening robe and put it on, peeking sideways at her slightly swollen belly.

"Okay. Wait a second." When Duke made a choice, nobody would be able to change his mind. Belinda went to her briefcase and took out a pile of papers, handing them to him with a red face.

Duke's eyes widened at the documents. He didn't expect that there would be so much. If he had to go through all of them, he wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.

"Do all these documents need to be reviewed?" Duke asked with uncertainty as he took the thick pile of documents. His heart sank a little.
