It'll Come Naturally

"Thank you for the opportunity, Edward. I'll study hard." Mary was beaming with pride. She could get anything she wanted.

"Well, then I'll go first. Justin is still in the hospital." Then he stood up.

"Who's Justin?" Leo asked curiously. 'Am I supposed to know Justin? Why does he mention that name?' he wondered.

"You don't remember Justin?" Edward couldn't believe his ears. It felt like he'd been slapped. Leo didn't remember Justin! How did the man not remember his own grandson? Leo's confusion stunned Edward.

"No, I don't. Is it someone I should know?" Leo was more confused. Mary looked at Edward with a puzzled expression as well. It was like he said something they couldn't understand.

Was there something wrong? Leo never mentioned Daisy at all. He thought it was because Leo knew Daisy was off at training, so he didn't mention it. But it seemed different now. Leo should at least know basic things. Edward felt like things were spiraling out of control.

Edward tried his best to recover. "Got you!" he said. "I was joking." Since the old man seemed genuinely confused, Edward had to figure out why. But now was not the time to get into it.

Initially caught off guard, Leo visibly relaxed. "I wondered if I'd forgotten. I'm not getting any younger, and my mind is not what it used to be. Just a joke, then?" Leo was fairly sure that Edward wasn't joking. But who was Justin? And why can't he remember him? He needed to figure that out.

Edward turned to leave. "Thank you for your hospitality, Mr. Ouyang. See you later." He paused. 'It was a fantastic meal, really! And he even wanted to give his other daughter to me.' Edward thought.
