It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 864

"Are you for real? You are the one who asked us out and now you're saying that you will dump us here? This is not fair. We had been waiting for you here for almost an hour before you showed up!" Rain's voice went higher when he saw Edward leaving. This unfortunately caught Melissa's attention and made her realize that Rain was just inside the booth next to them. Heck! He was even sitting just behind her chair! She also noticed that Edward was there as well. The thought hit her hard. Her heart literally skipped a beat as her face went back to being colorless.

"Hey, leave him alone, alright? Can't you see that he is absent-minded all this time? I think he had a fight with his wife! You should just let him go. Let's hang out without him. He is just a party-pooper." Tom was a more cautious man than Rain. He had noticed Edward's odd behavior since the moment he sat with them. Edward was constantly checking on his wrist watch and fiddling his phone whenever he got a break between the dialogues. Tom could tell he was not at ease and his mind was apparently somewhere else!

"I have nothing else to talk about with you guys. My advice to you would be to just go home and rest! I think it is high time for you to find a nice lady to join your sad life! Being single is not fun!" On hearing his mocking words, Rain gave Edward a bitter smile. It sort of made sense that they should all just leave this place. There was no reason for him to hang out with Tom and stay there as he just came to accompany Edward. He should really take his advice, call it a day, and just go home. Besides, he had seen enough for today.

"I agree. Let's go. I need to head home and study some patient case before it is too late. We can walk out together." Tom nodded as he stood up. It would be pointless for him to stay here on his own.

Upon seeing the two stood up, Edward nodded to them swiftly and walked straight out. He didn't persuade them to stay there as it was obvious that they were no longer in a party mood. He paused for a while as he passed Shaun's booth. Then, as if nothing happened, he continued his steps and disappeared by the gate. Melissa was utterly shocked by his pause. Her heart was in her throat as the last thing she wanted was for him to turn around and speak to her. That would be her nightmare! She felt kind of relieved when he didn't even cast a glance in her direction. That meant she was successful in her disguise. Things were going well according to her plan, and Edward didn't spot her out.

"Hey, I know this man! He was just here a few minutes ago!" Shaun caught Rain's tall figure when he walked past their booth. He pointed to Rain's back and said to Melissa, "I think I heard his high pitched voice. He was sitting right behind us, in the next booth!" It never occurred to Shaun that Rain was so close to him. He tried so hard to locate his whereabouts, but it turned out he was right under his nose!

Shaun gazed at the gate where they disappeared and wondered who was the first man that walked out. He felt cold sweat ran down his back as he pondered on the man's identity. Who was he? The words he said to him earlier seemed like a deliberate provocation. The more he thought about what had happened, the more suspicious he felt about the whole thing. 'Why would he sit at their table and "mistake" Melissa for someone else?' he thought. He was also concerned about his talk with Melissa. They might have overheard their discussion about destroying the FX International Group. That thought petrified him.
