It'll Come Naturally

"Brian, did you hear that? Does that mean your sister is about to forgive me?" Leo turned to his son who was now picking up the hoe he had thrown on the ground. He badly needed a confirmation.

"Yes, Dad. Look, Justin and Jasmine are here. Why don't we stop digging the ground and get inside?" Brian suggested politely while putting the gardening materials aside. He had given up his own career overseas since Leo's health started declining. He decided to just

take over Ouyang Foreign Trade and focused on his family.

"Forget about the vegetables. Go to the kitchen and see if the dishes are ready. It's almost lunchtime. My grandchildren must be hungry." Leo didn't insist on digging the ground anymore. All he cared about now was his grandchildren.

"Grandpa, let's get in," Jasmine sweetly said as she began to walk Leo carefully across the backyard. No matter how her mother treated Leo, she loved him very much because Leo had treated her very well since she was a baby. There was no way that her mother's attitude would affect how much she adored the old man.

"Justin, wait. Was Jasmine telling the truth? Did Daisy really say that?" Brian stopped Justin by the shoulder just before the young man walked away. He had to confirm what he heard. If what Jasmine said was true, it meant that Daisy had finally changed her mind. They would be a complete family again!

"What do you think? Do you think that my mom will ever change her mind? You know how stubborn she is. She would not forgive grandpa unless a miracle happens," Justin snorted as he decided to remain neutral.Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

"Tsk! I should've known it. Your mom can be very obstinate when she wants to be." Brian didn't understand why Daisy just couldn't let go. His mother, who had caused miseries to Daisy, had already died in prison. He thought that Daisy should be relieved after that. "I think my dad spoiled my mom a bit too much." Justin shrugged as he had no idea of what to do. He had tried to persuade his mother before, but she would get emotional every time. The next thing he knew was how his dad usually butted in between them just to scold him all the time. Edward would always take Daisy's side regardless of anything. As a result, Justin had given up persuading his mother.

"Speaking of your dad, did he not try to persuade her?" Brian didn't think that Edward was as emotional as Daisy.

"Come on! The two are inseparable. You already know whose side he is with. He would do whatever my mom says. He is just her slave!" Justin pursed his lips as he was a little angry. He could still remember how many times his dad scolded him because of his mom. "Haha! You better not say that in front of Edward. Otherwise, you'll be screwed." Brian knew Edward so well. Although he wouldn't admit this before anyone, he really felt lucky for his sister to have such an incredible husband.

"Do you think I'm a fool?" Justin rolled his eyes at his uncle and walked towards the house. He didn't even shot Brian a second look as he left him alone in the backyard.

Helplessly, Brian shook his head and sighed before following his nephew.

Leo was thrilled the whole day because of what Jasmine said. He was acting as if Daisy had already forgiven him. He looked like an elated child the whole time they were chatting and laughing.

The Ouyang family house was suddenly filled with so much warmth. Thus, nobody dared to tell the truth to the old man.

It was after a few hours more before Jasmine and Justin decided to leave. However, it was obvious how Jasmine remained silent on their way home. The silence was just too uncomfortable, thus, Justin felt that something was terribly wrong. His sister was a loud person and he wasn't used to seeing her this quiet.

"Jasmine, what are you thinking about? Did you fall for some boy?" Justin stole a glance at Jasmine through the rear-view mirror.

"Yes. Do you think I should abduct him?" answered Jasmine casually. She was actually thinking of how to get close to Richard, their uncle Kevin and auntie Leena's son.

"Are you kidding me? My sister is so pretty and adorable. What's his name? He should have already fallen for you at first sight." Justin cracked a joke as he thought of who the boy could be.

"Come on, Justin! I was just kidding. Don't tell me that you took that seriously?" Jasmine snapped at her brother. However, she honestly loved it when Justin and she were talking like this.

"Of course, I took it seriously. I suppose that the boy you like is a good boy. Well, he has to be a good boy! Otherwise, I will teach him a hard lesson if he dares to hurt my beloved sister," Justin said in a serious manner. He doted on his only sister and would do everything to protect her.

"Oh, Justin. You are such a nice brother!" Jasmine gave her brother a sweet smile. She was really moved by her brother's words and suddenly felt an urge to hug him.

"Hey, you'll take the university entrance examination soon. Which university do you want to go to?" To tell the truth, Justin didn't think that his sister needed to go to university. However, Daisy was giving it huge importance and even said that it was necessary. Justin didn't dare to set himself against his mother.

"I haven't decided yet. Actually, I want to go to the military academy where Richard is but I think I may fail in the exam. Moreover, I don't think that a military academy is a good option for me. You know, I'll take over The Mayfly someday after all." Just mentioning The Mayfly was already enough to stress Jasmine. It was really difficult for her to convince the members of the group since she was still too young. Nevertheless, she thought that taking over The Mayfly was much easier than getting into a university.

"If you really don't want to take over

The Mayfly, then why don't you tell grandpa? Owen can take over the group as well," suggested Justin. Like his father, Justin cared about Jasmine very much. His heart hurt whenever he saw his sister's worried

face.

"It's not that I don't want to take over The Mayfly. I just want to go to the military academy since Richard's there," Jasmine grumbled unconsciously. She didn't realize that she just sold herself out.

"You mean you want to go to the military academy just because of Richard?" Justin asked with a frown and wondered if the boy she fell for was the same Richard he knew.

"No, no, no! I mean... He is a friend of mine, right? Going to the school with him would definitely make things a lot easier." Jasmine immediately made an excuse upon realizing what happened. She would not admit that she had a thing for Richard. "Really?" Justin curled the corner of his lips mockingly. It was obvious that he wasn't buying what his sister said.

"Geez! Justin, you're so annoying. Hurry up! I still need to go to The Mayfly." Jasmine changed the topic. Her face was suddenly red all over due to shame.

"By the way, where is The Mayfly?" For the longest time, Justin really wanted to know the address of the group. However, his grandfather told him that he was an outsider, thus, he was not allowed to know those details at all.

"Do you really want to know?" Jasmine said in a teasing voice.

"Yes, I do. How about I come with you today?" Excitement was suddenly written all over Justin's face when he shot a glance at his sister.

"Then, what will you give me in exchange? How about buying me a car?" Jasmine gave her brother a sweet smile. She had been wishing for a car for years.

"No! You are still too young to have a

car!" Justin turned

turned her down without

any hesitation. He would buy as

many cars as she liked once sheet

was grown up. However, she was only freaking sixteen and didn't even have a license. How could he even do what she wanted?

"Bah! I knew you wouldn't say yes. Never mind." Jasmine leaned against the back of her seat and pouted her lips frustratedly. It seemed like she still needed to wait for another two years to have a car. "Are you giving up that easily? Are you not planning to persuade me again?" Justin asked with a teasing smile. He knew his sister like the back of his hand. Jasmine was never the patient type of person. "What else can I do? Forget it." Jasmine turned her head and stared out the window. All of a sudden, a familiar figure caught her attention. "Justin, pull over! I saw Joyce," she said.

Justin looked into her direction and saw Joyce standing by the pavement. Thus, he steered the wheel immediately and pulled over.

"Joyce!" Jasmine was already screaming even before their car stopped.

On the other hand, Joyce was waiting for someone when she heard her name being called. She looked around to check who it was and instantly flashed a wide grin upon seeing Jasmine. However, her sweet smile melted as quickly as it appeared when she caught a glance of who the driver was.

"Where are you going?" Joyce asked and forced a tiny smile.

"We just left our grandpa's house. Joyce, are you waiting for someone?" Jasmine looked around but didn't see any familiar face.

"Oh... I-I just passed by..." Joyce made an excuse. Actually she was waiting for a male classmate. She didn't want Justin to misunderstand their relationship, so she lied.

"I see. Why don't you hang out with us?" Jasmine offered. She really liked Joyce a lot.

"Uh, I'm good. I just visited you guys last night. Why don't you just go home? It's really hot outside," said Joyce anxiously. Her classmate was about to arrive.

"Uh, okay. We're leaving now. Let's hang out next time." Jasmine had to go to The Mayfly later, thus, she didn't force Joyce to hang out with them.

"Okay. See you." Joyce waved her hand and heaved a long sigh of relief when the car started. However, the fact that Justin didn't even care to talk to her nor ask anything made her sad.00000000
