It'll Come Naturally

"Mommy, Aunt Michelle, what are you two doing? Are you two..." Justin studied his mother and Michelle, a thoughtful look on his face. It seemed that he had something more he wanted to say, but he hesitated, unsure of how to say it. "What? Huh? What are you trying to say?" Daisy raised her eyebrows at her son, waiting for him to continue his words. If he rudely said what he was thinking, then he would be punished for sure. She was his mother, after all. So, how could she not know what his little brain was thinking right now? "Umm. Nothing, nothing. You two continue. I didn't see anything. Really. You can just ignore me." Justin's face had fallen, and he looked at his mother with sad eyes. His mother only knew how to threaten him. He was just stating what he had seen, that was all. He wished she didn't have to be like this.

"But you have already interrupted us. So, come on. What do you want?" Daisy rolled her eyes at the look on her son's face. He was becoming more and more brazen, just like Edward. She didn't know what the two were doing and talking about when they were alone without her. All in all, her son was no longer the tame and docile child he had been.

"Daddy asked me to tell you that, maybe Uncle Luke wouldn't get jealous when he sees you two, but daddy would surely get jealous seeing you hug so tightly." Justin snickered at his own words. His father really was the jealous type. Well, he had just said what his daddy told him to. His mother wouldn't get mad and punish him for that, would she?

"Ha ha! It seems that Edward is getting jealous." Michelle was bemused at hearing Justin's words. At the same time, she was also envious. She really wanted a loving relationship like that which Daisy and Edward shared. They were faithful to each other. And most importantly, they loved each other deeply. Michelle hoped to one day have the chance to know the workings of a happy marriage.

"Don't mind him. The more attention you give him, the more dramatic he will be. He is just bored and making things up, I'm sure." Though Daisy said these words, she couldn't help but look in Edward's direction. Her gaze lingered on the handsome man who was standing far removed from them. It was evident that Daisy cared very much for her husband.

"Mommy, you are wrong this time. Daddy also said that if you didn't listen to him, then he would surely keep you busy tonight," Justin said with a sly smirk on his face. Yes, he had told his mother the exact words his father told him. He had just let out the rest of what his father had said. He didn't know that passing a message for his daddy would be this much fun.

"What? He said those exact words? Edward! What did you tell Justin?" Daisy shouted while quickly running towards Edward, who was now looking her way. Seeing her angry like this, Edward suddenly had a bad feeling. He was not afraid of her, of course. But he considered for a few seconds whether he should flee. Maybe it would be better for him to speak with Daisy when she had calmed down first. He didn't know what Justin had just told her, so, he didn't understand her sudden anger.

"Well, I didn't even finish speaking. Why did mommy leave all of a sudden?" Justin pretended that he didn't know why his mother had become angry all of a sudden. He would never admit that it was his intention to make Daisy misunderstand Edward's words. What Justin hadn't said was that if Daisy didn't listen to Edward, he would keep her busy tonight by sparring against her. But of course, Daisy had misunderstood the half-conveyed message. Well, adults really should get their minds out of the gutter. It was not Justin's fault that Daisy got mad so swiftly. Yes, he had left out something, but it was just a harmless joke after all.

"Little man, you do know that you will be punished once your mother finds out what you did?" Michelle teased Justin. She had guessed right away that there was something that Justin hadn't told Daisy. Though she had not been married to Luke for long, she had quickly become aware of how smart this little guy could be. Besides, Leena had also warned her against him before she left. She had cautioned Michelle that Justin was definitely a handful, and she should be careful around him. He was cute and could act sweetly towards you, but he would definitely trick you if given a chance.

"Aunt Michelle, do you want to know some embarrassing stories about Uncle Luke? I can tell you some!" Justin looked at Michelle with pleading eyes. He was hoping to bribe her with embarrassing stories of Luke, so that she would not tell his mother of his prank. He really didn't want to face his mother's wrath.

"Why I didn't know that you have embarrassing stories about me?" Luke interrupted suddenly, startling both Michelle and Justin. They hadn't noticed his silent approach.

"Oh. Uncle Luke, I didn't hear you at all! You made no sound." Justin had an awkward smile on his face. He hadn't expected Luke to overhear his conversation. His uncle was really sneaky, and it frightened him.

"That's because you were too focused on telling her something bad about me. That's why you didn't even notice me coming this way to catch you out." After berating Justin, Luke's gaze traveled to Michelle's face. She looked better, but her face was still a bit swollen. Luke was confused about his feelings for Michelle. He just knew that he worried about her, but he was still annoyed that she kept her distance from him.

"I wasn't saying bad things about you! I just wanted to tell Aunt Michelle some interesting stories about you, so she could know more about you. Well, now that you are here, you can tell her yourself. I won't bother you two any further. Bye!" With these words Justin scampered away. In his little mind, adults were annoying sometimes. They all had each other for company, but nobody was here to play with him.

"Did you finish work?" Michelle raised her chin and glanced at him, a faint smile playing on her face. But as soon as she remembered what Daisy had just discussed with her, the smile on her face quickly disappeared. She put on an emotionless facade, trying to again keep her distance from Luke.

"Yeah. We can go back now." Luke had, at first, wanted to take her small hand and lead her back, but as soon as he saw the indifferent look fixed on her face, he changed his mind. He was not sure his touch would be welcomed. He didn't want to embarrass himself, and so, he didn't even try.0000000000000000
