It'll Come Naturally

Chapter 343 Ambiguous Relationship (Part One)

"Uncle Kevin, so you are the unlucky guy." Kevin was deeply troubled by Leena's popularity. He felt embarrassed, just then Justin appeared in front of them. He had been running all over the venue throughout the party. His red and radiant face revealed that he was having a good time.

"What unlucky guy?" Kevin was confused by Justin's sudden remark which came out of nowhere. He looked at Justin dubiously. Everything was going rather smoothly with him. He couldn't remember anything unlucky happening to him recently. So why did Justin see him as an unlucky guy? Kevin wondered.

"Oh, well! That's because you are the hero who has saved all men in the world by sacrificing yourself to marry Aunt Leena. You're awesome, Uncle Kevin!" Justin stared at Kevin impatiently, as if mocking him for his stupidity. Justin believed that his Uncle Kevin was doomed for getting married to that wicked Leena. He already seemed so baffled, probably because of Aunt Leena's torture. If Uncle Kevin continued to live with her for the rest of his life, his life would be totally ruined by her, Justin thought.

"You brat, you dared to speak ill of me. Wait and watch how I will get back at you later." Leena didn't know when and how she had offended this charming boy, and why he went against her all the time. Was she really as bad as he said? He made it sound like she was disagreeable to everyone, but that wasn't true, Leena thought.

"I wasn't speaking ill of you! It's a fact. Uncle Kevin, why didn't you consult me before you decided to marry Aunt Leena. I would have saved you from her torture. It was truly an unwise decision, and your glorious image is ruined in my eyes now." Justin didn't have the slightest concern about Leena's threat. He knew she was all talk and no action. To put it more clearly, her bark was worse than her bite. So he didn't care about her warning at all.

"Kevin, you tell him, have I ruined your glorious image? Justin, you are so wicked, you really piss me off!" Leena's biggest weakness was that she couldn't handle provocation. She got irritated by Justin's

words immediately and lost her cool. She turned to Kevin to find support.

After hearing Leena's words, everyone present went silent. They got confused by Justin and Leena's conversation. Should Leena argue to death with a little boy like Justin? They wondered. So they unanimously shot a pitiful look at Kevin. They shared a common thought that if they wanted to embarrass Kevin, they only needed to send Leena, this lovely but roguish woman, to him. They believed it would be better to let Kevin handle this obstinate woman.

"No, of course not. Don't mind what Justin said. He was teasing you purposely. If you lose your temper, then it'll prove that he has tricked you." Kevin knew Justin very well. He was a mischievous boy who always stirred up trouble. For many years he had been with Justin in the military base, he often saw him make fool of the soldiers to annoy them.

"Oh, no! Uncle Kevin, you're hopeless. You've changed sides already. Your bad days are upon you. She will torture you and make you regret your decision, you just wait and watch." Justin pouted in disappointment. He wondered why such an accomplished man like Kevin would marry a sly woman like Leena. Wasn't she destroying the backbone of the country?

The whole scene caused a lot of uproar. Rain and Tom, who were irrelevant to the topic of the conversation, couldn't help but laugh on Justin's amusing remarks. And this attracted the attention of other guests, including Mr. Cold who was also a trouble.

"The crowd seems boisterous here! You've become the focus of the party." Duke walked towards them gracefully, while slightly swirling the glass of wine in his hand. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Leena who was leaning on Kevin's arms; then he shifted his focus away.

"Uncle Duke, you missed the better part of the show. It's over. I think you should find somewhere else to get amused. I don't think I have anything in common with you adults! Ah! It seems that the adult world is not a right place for an innocent boy like me." Justin said while feigning a helpless expression.

His demeanor was quite charming. At the sight of such a lovely and sweet boy, everyone wished he was their child.

"Ha..." This was the second time that Justin had prompted a burst of laughter since he came here. But this time, the laughter wasn't from Rain and Tom, but from Duke who just came over. The wine spilled out from his mouth with laughter and spilled all over Rain, causing a commotion.

"Huh! Duke, behave yourself!" Rain sprang at Duke's abrupt spill and hurriedly took some tissues to wipe the wine on his clothes. He stared at Duke in disgust. His image was totally ruined, he felt that he was down on his luck these days. Rain grumbled, thinking why he was always the one who got spattered with wine.

Tom couldn't help laughing out loud. He wasn't the only unlucky chap today; Rain was also having a bad day. Tom felt relieved that God didn't ignore him completely. He found a companion for him.

"I didn't mean to be impolite. But didn't you hear what Justin said?" Duke took a piece of tissue to wipe his mouth. He was shocked when he heard Justin describe himself as "innocent." Justin was a clever and mischievous boy. He had quite the nerve to use a beautiful word like "innocent" for himself. If Duke hadn't known him, he might not have reacted like this. Everyone present here knew how cunning Justin was. But Justin seemed unaware of this. He dared to brag about himself without any shame or hesitation.

"Do you think we all are deaf? And what does Justin have to do with your manners?" Rain stared at Duke with rage; he felt that Duke's question was stupid. Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

"Tom, you're late, you must punish yourself by drinking three glasses of wine first." Duke changed the topic intentionally. He knew that Rain lost his temper rather quickly since Annie left. So he thought it would be better if he didn't irritate the already grumbling man. Also, Justin who had ignited this frenzy was already gone. He felt it needless to defend himself now.

"Who said I'm late. I came here early, even before the ceremony started. You didn't see me because all your attention was focused on your wife." It appeared that Duke wanted to use Tom to distract Rain's anger. But, Tom wouldn't admit he was late so easily. There were so many people at the party, it was understandable that Duke didn't pay attention to Tom.
