It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 959

"Mr. Mu, what are you doing here?" said Luke wonderingly. He was expecting Edward to be sitting at the table while having dinner in the dining room. However, why was he standing there grimacing in pain?

"Nothing. Go ahead, Luke," answered Edward between gritted teeth. He had made up his mind. He would conquer his wife in bed, otherwise, she would have the guts to kick or punch him as bold at any time.

"Are you sure you're alright?" concern was on Luke's voice. His glances lingered on Edward's face and didn't believe what the man before him just said.

"I'm fine. Shut your mouth up and go. Eat." Now Edward was furious. Did he have to tell everybody about how his wife humiliatingly kicked him?

"Oh! Mr. Mu, be careful." With hindsight, Luke realized that maybe Edward was too embarrassed to tell anybody that he had been kicked and injured by his wife mercilessly at home.

"Just go!" shouted Edward contemptuously. It was amazing how Luke could frustrate him sometimes.

Edward watched Luke disappeared towards the dining room. It was only after making sure that Luke was gone that he hobbled towards the couch and sunk into it. He pulled the leg of his trousers up and saw a large bruise on his leg. It was evident that Daisy had vent all her depression on that powerful kick. She really didn't have any idea how to love and care for him as his wife. Thus, he just decided to remain on the couch, staring blankly and angrily to nothingness as he sabotaged dinner with them.

On the other hand, Daisy had been waiting for Edward to come to the dining table. It had been a while since she sat there. She was getting anxious while wondering whether she really injured him. Her kick might have been harder with her foot on a slipper. The whole family was waiting for him to eat dinner.

"Mommy, did you disable daddy?" asked Justin. He was also wondering why his Daddy hadn't appeared and joined them.

"No, it can't be that. I just kicked his leg. Since when has your Daddy become so weak and fragile?" answered Daisy. She got suspicious since she didn't look back at Edward nor check his bruise after she kicked him on the leg. She just went straight to the dining room after what she did.

"Oh! Mrs. Mu, it was you who kicked Mr. Mu. I saw him squatting down and grimacing," informed Luke. Luke could be such a naive boy sometimes. He sympathized with his Young Master and exaggerated Edward's response to the kick on the leg.

"I should go and check him." That was it. Daisy stood up and rushed to the drawing room to check on her husband.

"Luke, did you just lie to Mommy? Daddy might not be a soldier but I know that he could bear more than just Mommy's kick," asked Justin. Teasing was on Justin's face as he looked at Luke, who looked embarrassed that time as his lie was exposed.

"No, I didn't. I really saw your Daddy suffering in pain when I came to the drawing room. If you don't believe me, go and see for yourself," answered Luke awkwardly. He hadn't realized that a kid could be so sensitive and smart until now. Justin easily saw through his trick.

"No need to do that. Uncle Luke, I know you too well. You will try to evade people's eyes whenever you lie. You can't lie to me though. You just tricked my Mommy to check on Daddy." Justin concluded with a huge smile. The little boy could be more sensitive and sensible than adults most of the times. That was why Luke couldn't tell a lie in front of him.
