It'll Come Naturally

"Uhh... It's nothing. Belinda happened to grab my hand while she was in labor pain. I'll recover soon enough," Leena reassured. Granted, her reactions in the past might have been exaggerated to a point where she wanted to die. But since she knew that she had been helpful when her sister-in-law was in labor pain, the bruises on her hand became more of a medal of honor that reminded her what she did that day.

"Did she endure so much?" Kevin asked, while blowing her hand softly. Although it didn't really do much to alleviate the pain, she was moved by his display of affection.

"I don't know," said Leena, putting on a rueful smile. "But she looked like she was in great pain." She thought to herself, 'Maybe it's the kind of pain I'll never get to feel.'

"Nana," Kevin said, noticing the change in her facial expression. "What do you want to eat? I'll buy you dinner." As he noticed that the topic was beginning to be too much for her, he decided it was time to talk about something else.

Leena wore a teasing smile, asking, "Are you sure you have the money?" Lee had told her that Kevin HAD donated his wages to the people who were affected by the natural disaster. On top of that, he had also given her his ATM card when she returned to him. She could only guess that he didn't have much money on him right now.

"Rest assured. I can afford us some street food," Kevin said with a confident smile. "As long as we don't go to some fancy restaurant, we're good." He wasn't embarrassed at all to admit it. With Leena, he could always be himself.

"Never mind that," said Leena, shaking her head. "Let me buy us dinner." Her offer wasn't brought on because she looked down on street food. Glancing at Kevin, she realized that he was still in recovery and thus, needed nutritious food. "Really? Well, I'm so glad I have a rich wife then," Kevin teased. In order to avoid her aching hand, he held her shoulder gently. Discreetly, he decided by himself that he was going to apply medicine on her hand when they got home. Quietly enjoying each other's company for dinner, they were met with an unexpected guest.

"Leena Leng? I thought you already left," said a dissatisfied voice. "Why are you still here?" In complete disbelief, Louisa stopped in front of their table. When the news of Leena's disappearance had reached her, she thought that she might finally have the chance to be with Kevin. But if the rumors were true, then why was she there?

"I went away to travel abroad, okay?" said Leena coldly. "Whatever I do in my own time has nothing to do with you," she added. "So it's really none of your business." Still arrogant like she used to be, Louisa was never going to learn her lesson. It seemed like she was fated to make the same mistakes over and over again.

"You're lying!" Louisa snapped back at her. With nostrils flaring, she dared to say, "I heard you were divorcing Kevin!"

"Then you must've misheard it," Leena said, and then turned to Kevin, a playful glint in her innocent eyes. "Honey, do you think I'd ever divorce you?"

"Honey," began Kevin, not missing a beat. "Don't listen to her. Just eat your food." And without casting a single glance at Louisa, Kevin put more food into Leena's bowl. In the past few days, Louisa had sought for him in the army base several times, and in all those occasions, Kevin had dodged her every single time.

"Miss Ye," Leena said, looking at her unblinkingly. "You heard my husband." Deep inside, she was filled with laughter and amusement. "So please," she continued, taking a sip of her water. "Please leave us alone." Noting the hurt look on Louisa's face, Leena suppressed a triumphant smirk. 'Hurt, are you?' thought Leena. 'Well, serves you right.'

"Ugh!" Louisa stamped her foot. "You bitch!" And then, quite reluctantly, the woman turned away and left, her mind racing with several thoughts. 'Damn you, bitch! Why didn't you just die when you were abroad? Why is it so hard for me to just be with Kevin?' "Eat more food. You look thinner." Kevin kept on adding food to her bowl. The appearance of Louisa didn't affect him at all.

"You should eat more. I'm a woman, and I should keep fit. You're a man, and men should be muscular." In return, Leena put a lot of meat into his bowl. Astonished to see all the meat, Kevin wasn't sure whether to laugh or cry. 'Does she think I'm a big eater or something?' he thought in amusement.

"But I'd like you to gain weight," he said casually. "Then you'll be soft to touch." His voice sounded as though he was only talking about the weather, so nonchalant, rather than overtly flirting with her.This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

"Oh really? I'll buy a sow for you," grinned Leena. "It will be softer to touch, I'm sure." Rolling her eyes at Kevin, she noticed that he was getting more and more cunning. He was starting to play mind games with her.

"I have no interest in sows. Only in you." He then winked at her, which absolutely startled the woman. Kevin had always been an upright man towards Leena, but at that moment, she realized that he had changed.

"Come on!" Leena said, avoiding his gaze. "Don't act like that." She didn't dare to look back at him, knowing his eyes were filled with desire at the moment. As they were in a public space, she didn't want to enable his behavior. Especially not when it contrasted his military uniform.D
