It'll Come Naturally

"No. I'm not jealous of you. We don't know each other well enough for you to judge me. Don't you agree, Owen?" Richard asked him. Obviously he wanted to invite Owen to join him in making fun of Eden.

Owen was conflicted. He didn't want to get involved in their fight so he stayed silent.

"So you are Owen. I've heard so much about you from my dad. He always told me that you are a calm and wise person. He wanted me to be a person who has some great qualities like you. You are a role model to me," Eden said. Since he was young, he had been a naughty boy. His dad always thought he wasn't mature enough. He always emphasized the importance of being calm and steady to Eden. Now all of them had grown up, and everyone had changed a lot. After all these years, he finally met Owen. "Uncle Tom was joking. I'm flattered. Actually I'm not that good. You see, we are peers. There is nothing different between us," Owen smiled. The look on his face was still calm. As Eden said, he was a calm man, you couldn't tell his feelings from his expression. "Owen, don't be so modest. I do think you are way more calm and steady than some egotistical narcissist. You are a good role model," Richard felt angry that Eden wasn't feeding his ego. He wanted to say something harsh to irritate him.

Joyce laughed quietly. She found that Richard was still very childish even though he studied at the military school and went through extensive training. He looked mature but still acted like a careless young boy.

"Hey, Richard, watch your tone and your sarcasm. Remember I am older than you, show some respect," Eden said jokingly.

"Although you are older than me, we are the same height. We are both adults, but I don't see you acting more mature than me," Richard was a little bit angry, Eden's words had irritated him. He felt that Eden made him look bad in front of people. He was embarrassed now. The atmosphere between them got intense. As a military cadet, Richard was still a little bit childish and irritable, he still needed to be trained mentally.

"What's going on? You guys just met and you're already starting to fight?" Justin walked into the house and raised voice at Eden and Richard. He was in a suit with a briefcase in his hand, he just arrived home from work. At first he was happy to see people all gather together, then he found that Eden and Richard were fighting. He felt it was unusual because they had only just met and there was no reason that they should be fighting for.

"Justin, you're back. Look at them. I really can't figure out why they're fighting each other," Jasmine complained to him. She could do nothing to settle their dispute so she walked towards him to ask for help.

"Eden, welcome back. It's really nice to meet you," he said. Justin was older than them so the way he conducted himself in relation to others was more mature. Everyone respected him a lot. He had already established his authority among the younger generation. "Nice to meet you, too. Justin," Eden was surprised by his warm welcome. He had heard so many wonderful things about him. He knew that Justin was much older than them and had already established a very successful career at a very young age, so like everyone, Eden looked up to him a lot. But Jasmine was an exception because she was Justin's cherished little sister, so she got away with a lot more than the others did.

"Jasmine, please take my briefcase to the room upstairs," he said loosening his tie and handing her the briefcase. Being the eldest there, he had the authority over them all and it was his responsibility to settle the dispute between Eden and Richard.

"Why do you always ask me to do that?" Jasmine complained pursing her lips. She knew that Justin liked to tease her because she was his little sister. She hated that he always ordered her to do something. But she never turned him down, she always did what he wanted her to do.

"Let's go over there and talk," Justin said pointing to a table. He knew he needed to stop their fight as soon as possible before the elders knew what had happened between Eden and Richard. This was a party they had planned for a long time and he wouldn't let Eden and Richard ruin the reunion party.

Joyce was attracted by Justin's handsome face. She bit her lip as she glanced at his black eyes that shone so brightly, and then quickly looked away so she wasn't caught.

After a while, Kevin and Daisy finally arrived. The reunion party was held at Daisy's home, so as soon as she got home, she went to the kitchen to prepare some food.Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

"Finally you are here, Commander Gu. I haven't seen you for a long time. It seems that you are quite busy these days," Edward said in a jovial tone. It was rare for people at his age to become a commander so he always complimented Kevin.

"Stop making fun of me. When I'm out of the army base, I'm just an ordinary person. So please just call me by my name. These days I've been busy. Finally I have some free time to reunite with you guys," Kevin said. Then he started to look around for Leena. "Stop looking around. She's not here. All the women went upstairs. It seems that they have no interest in talking with us. I can't figure out why they have to go upstairs to chat. Can't they talk here? Are they hiding something from us?" Rain complained, knowing that Kevin was looking for his wife.

"One of the most difficult things in the word is to try and read a woman's mind. So I never try to do that," Tom chimed in overhearing their conversation. His wife Patricia happened to be a great example of one of those women. Sometimes he was perturbed by her capricious behavior like posing a random question to him without explaining it. He seemed to never know her intention when she asked some weird questions. He felt as he got older, the less he understood women.

"They told me that Eden is back. But I don't see him here. Where is him? It's been a while since the last time I saw him," Kevin diverged around their topic. He had nothing to complain about, he was just looking around for Leena so he didn't want to talk about it too much. "They're over there. He's talking with Justin," Tom said with a smile. Looking at Eden, there were mixed emotions for his son. On the one hand, he was proud of him because he was good doctor material. He was gifted because he learned things quickly. Also, he learned through experience with patients from his own interaction in the practice of medicine. On the other hand, as Eden's dad, he was also a little worried about him because he thought he wasn't calm and steady enough to be a doctor. Everyday his responsibility was to save people's lives, so he needed to take everything seriously.

"Just let the kids have some fun. We'll meet them at the dinner," Duke said to him. At first he didn't like Kevin and had been always pushing him away, but now they became friends and got along well.
