It'll Come Naturally

"I'm sorry, work hard on what?" Kevin then walked in the scene with his son, Richard, in his arms. Whenever he wore his military uniform, there just seemed to be a strong and robust aura surrounding him. "Work hard to have a sister for Richard." Everyone in the room started to break out in laughter. They had always been so fond of teasing Kevin ever since they had accepted him into the group.

"Oh?" Kevin raised a brow. "Is that what you want, Nana?" Kevin's ardent eyes then fell on his wife, Leena. A cheeky smile was etched on his face as the corners of his lips curved upward. He then made his way to Leena, placed an arm around her waist and pulled her closer to him. He turned his gaze to Leena and wore an impish smile. "As long as you want it, I would most definitely work hard."

Leena then took Kevin's hand off of her waist and averted her gaze away from Kevin. Her cheek stained red as she responded, "Kevin! Don't tease me! There are kids here!" Leena was embarrassed whenever they would banter regarding these kinds of things. She tried to look around, just desperately trying to avoid Kevin's gaze and eventually, her eyes fell on something much more important than everyone teasing her.

"Rain," Leena started, her eyes wide. "He..." Leena finally lifted her head up and looked at Rain. She had a surprised look on her face, "He looks just like you!"

"Ah, yeah," Rain stifled a chuckle. "He's my son, Huey." Rain didn't realize that he had placed all his attention on his daughter and somewhat had forgotten that he had a son until Leena had mentioned it.

"Oh my God!" Leena gasped, "So Joyce is your daughter?!" Leena was astounded at the new information. She then started to fan herself, "I... I need a drink." Leena then approached Edward, took the glass from his hand, and started to gulp down the drink Edward had. "Ah!" Edward stretched his hand. "T-That's---!" But it was too late.

Edward saw that Leena had started to drink from the glass. He then proceeded to cover his eyes to avoid the incoming tragedy.

Then, Edward heard what he had expected from Leena. He then uncovered his eyes and saw Leena's revolted expression. Leena spat out the drink from her lips and screamed, completely appalled by the drink she just swallowed. "What the hell is this drink, Edward?! Is this even a drink?!"

Edward chuckled, obviously amused by Leena's reaction. "Not bad, right?" "Not bad?!" Leena repeated. "I just said it's horrible!"

"I made that drink especially for Rain, you know," Edward informed Leena and shrugged. "But, there you were, gulping down his drink."

"You intended to make Rain drink this?!" Leena pointed at the glass, completely stupefied. Edward just nodded with a grin on his face. He had planned on giving another worldly drink to Rain. He even lost track of what he had mixed in the said drink.

Recently, Rain had been blessed with luck, to the point that almost everyone in the room envied him for it. Edward wanted to be the one to break Rain's streak and get some laughs out of him. But Leena ended up being the victim of Edward's prank which completely got everyone taken aback.

"No way..." Rain looked at Edward, shocked. "How could you do this to me?" Rain then looked at Leena and said, "I'm sorry, Leena... For you having to drink that for me..." Rain started fake cry and wiped his non-existent tears from his cheek as he lowered his head. However, Rain was absolutely thankful that he wasn't the victim, it looked like his luck wasn't going to leave him anytime soon.

Stepping into the scene was none other than Kevin with a glass of water in hand. Unlike all the other men in the room, Kevin grew concerned for Leena. Kevin rushed to Leena and handed her the glass as she took the glass. "Here, drink some water."

Belinda let out a frustrated sigh. "That's enough, all of you. The one who drank that was none other than your very own princess. If this happens again..." Belinda didn't need to finish her statement as she had warned everyone in the room with a glare. "You're all grown men and yet here you are, still pranking one another! Geez!"

A loud yet cute voice then started to penetrate their ears. They all looked to see who it belonged to. It belonged to Richard. "Uncle Edward, ears on me!" Richard commanded. "Attention! Eyes left! Eyes front!"

Richard was incredibly fond of his mother and when he saw that her mother, Leena, was a victim of someone's prank, there was no way he would let it slide.

Edward was very amused at Richard as he barked orders at him with a tiny, baby voice. Edward decided to just play along. Richard couldn't utter some words correctly but, most people in the room understood what he tried to say. Rain then started to laugh, "Good job, Commander Richard! I am very proud of you!"

"Keep that mouth open and there'll be flies in your mouth." Duke finally made his presence known once again as he started with a rather bold statement. Duke had an indifferent expression as his eyes fell on Rain who continued to crack up.

"I don't understand how on earth you could laugh at something like that," Duke remarked. "It wasn't funny." Rain ceased his laughter and just glanced at Duke. Rain rolled his eyes. "Yes, Ice Queen. I'll keep my mouth shut for you." Rain sent Duke a glare. 'Why does he always have that frigid expression on his face. At this point, I won't be surprised even if he has an ice castle where he keeps his loyal subjects. He could've been nicer about it. What a killjoy.'

When Leena finished washing the taste of that other-worldly drink with water, she then decided to step in. "Alright, you guys. Let's stop this. Since you still have some energy to spare, why don't you just play with the kids, hmm?" All the people in the room were already adults, even parents and yet, they still acted so childishly. "Why can't you be like your children?" Leena sighed. "They all get along so well."

Belinda then clapped her hands. "You hear that? Your beloved princess just gave you all an order. Go on and take the kids to play." In the mind of all those men in the room, Leena was always right and they wouldn't ever go against her word. But, if ever someone else were to tell them to do something, they would not even budge.This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

The men shot each other looks, asking themselves one question, 'Since when did we become the babysitters?'

They were central figures in S City who had great impacts on S City's economy or politics. But in front of their wives, they were nothing but husbands and fathers who were supposed to bring their kids up and take care of families. They couldn't refuse.

Annie was petrified that the man she saw the other day at the supermarket was a high-ranking military officer, and his ranking seemed to be higher than Daisy's. Annie couldn't help but lower her head in embarrassment due to her own misunderstanding. Annie sighed heavily to herself, 'Oh God. Just let me disappear...'

Daisy planned on helping Leena prepare the lunch at an earlier time but, was inevitably delayed by Rain's arrival.

Then, a pleasant smell started to waft around the area which made Daisy lift her head up. She could also hear the sound of pans that clanged together. "Hey, Leena." Daisy called out as she peeped from the doorway of the kitchen. "You done preparing lunch? I could help you out."

"Hey Daisy! Yeah, I'm actually almost done!" Leena replied. "So, just go around and have a good chat with everyone here! And don't worry, I can handle things here on my own, okay?" Leena had become a more mature woman. Leena found it easier to get along with people as well. It was a big, mental change.0000
