It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 876

"I hope so. Where is Edward? I don't see him around." When Duke had entered the house, he could tell something was amiss. He realized now why he had that strange feeling. It was because the master of the house was nowhere to be seen.

"Oh! Is he not here? I was in the kitchen, I didn't see him just now. He is probably upstairs. You could go to the study and see if he's there." Upon hearing Duke's words, Daisy looked about, but didn't see Edward anywhere.

"Duke, I'll tell you! If you ask me nicely, I can inform you of Edward's whereabouts," Rain said, crossing his legs leisurely.

"Uncle Rain, don't fool around. Daddy only said that he was going out, he didn't say where he was heading to," Justin said, engrossed in the game on his cellphone. Like most young boys, he loved to play mobile games. However, what made him stand out was that he also liked to design those games. In this regard, few of them were as talented as he was.

"Justin, don't embarrass me. Isn't it Leena you're always picking a fight with? Why is it my turn today?" Rain said, gritting his teeth. Justin had played a trick on him before and he hadn't fully recovered from it yet. It seemed like Justin didn't want to stop either. He was making trouble for him again.

"It is because Aunt Leena is not here today. If she was here, I would be exhausted only trying to deal with her. I probably wouldn't have the energy to even speak to you," Justin responded without raising his head from the game. His hand casually swiped at the cellphone screen.

"Hey! Little boy, why does it sound like I am only a substitute for your amusement?" Rain asked, offended by Justin's words.

"Haha! Uncle Rain, sorry if I made you think that. But a substitute is not the worst thing to be. Don't be so pessimistic." Justin finally looked up at him after thrashing the last monster in the game. He tilted his head and flashed Rain a smug smile.

"Oh, please! I'm a substitute, that's already depressing. No, that does not sound right. What am I saying? Do I really want to be a substitute for Leena and become the primary target of your tricks? You devious little boy. You're trying to set me up." Rain finally saw through Justin. He was indeed clever. Rain was fortunate to figure out Justin's trap in time and save himself from falling into it.

"Ah! It's forgivable if a person is not too intelligent. But if someone is just straight up dumb, then no medicine can cure him." Tom shook his head, poking fun at Rain. He was bored because Jonathan was not there to play chess with him. How could he not grab the opportunity to tease Rain?

"It's because you are a quack. Someone else might be able to cure him." Rain glanced at him coldly. He sluggishly leaned back in the chair with an insipid look on his face, sounding upset. Perhaps he hadn't recovered from the frustration he had felt when he heard Edward mention Annie.

"Hey Rain, what happened to you? You look like you have been ditched by some beautiful girl. Why are you so down?" Belinda smiled, sitting beside Rain. She always took pleasure in ridiculing Rain. Right now, he looked so lost that she found she had even more words to say. She was quite amused.

"Yes, I have been ditched by a beautiful lady. That lady is you, Belinda. I don't understand why you chose Duke. He is so dull," Rain still sounded dispirited. He felt better after the banter with Justin. However, as he came to himself, he felt even more lonely.

"You sissy man, do you want to die?" Duke glared at him with cold eyes. The air around Rain seemed to freeze for a moment.

"Don't be so angry. I'm just kidding. Jeez! You don't have to scare me like that. Belinda, I really marvel at your tough heart. It can withstand anything. Even someone like him!" Rain said to Belinda as he raised his eyebrows in the direction of Duke. He wondered how she could stand being with such a cold man.

"Since I don't mind talking to a flighty man like you, why should I not be able to stand him?" Belinda smiled delightfully. Even though Rain was just teasing her, she was pleased to see that Duke was angry about this.
