It'll Come Naturally

Leena kept trying to hold back her tears the entire way. Kevin had seen that she slapped Louisa. Now he must think she was malicious. However, she did not regret slapping that woman one bit. On the contrary, she felt relieved because she did not need to tolerate Claire

and Louisa's provocations anymore. In any case, she had fallen out with them, hadn't she?

At that moment, she missed S city very much. She missed the people and her life there. She always felt like she should not have come here as her arrival was not welcomed. Although Shannon liked her very much, she knew that other people looked at her contemptuously last night at the birthday party. She hid in the garden because she did not want herself to face the embarrassing situation. It seemed that in today's society, everybody paid more attention to identity and background. If she was the daughter of a senior official, the treatment she received would be totally different!

Leena found a comparatively remote place and sat down. She would not envy others, no matter how high their statuses were. In her heart, she believed that what she owned was not inferior to others. She possessed a deep familial affection that could not be exchanged with any precious titles. Although her family was not a political one, everyone in it loved her very much.

Leena bit her lip. She wished she could hear Duke's voice. She took out her phone, but didn't dare to tap out his number. If she told Duke what had happened, she would cry. Duke already disliked Kevin. If he knew what had occurred, he would dislike Kevin more. That was certainly not what she wanted to happen. No matter how grieved she felt right now, she would not call up Duke.

After what happened, Kevin must be quite disappointed with her. Would he believe her? Or did he believe in Louisa? But it didn't matter anymore, did it? After all, she had done it, and now it was useless to regret it.

She took a slight breath, looking up at the sky and trying to hold back her tears. At the same time, she continued to comfort herself in her heart, 'Leena, it's okay. This is nothing serious. If you cannot stand such kind of grievance, how can you go on fighting in the future?' Kevin looked for Leena everywhere. But no matter where he looked, he did not find her. It was inevitable for him to get a little anxious. It was also easy for his temper to flare up when he couldn't find someone. However, he continued to be calm, which was odd. "Leena." Upon seeing her petite figure, Kevin quietly let out a breath of relief. He quickly ran over to her.

Leena raised her head and glanced at Kevin indifferently. She lowered her head again. She knew Kevin came to question her and she was ready to receive his scolding.

"Well, do you not want to look at me? Or is there nothing you want to tell me?" Kevin looked down at her from a height. Although his tone was a little indifferent, he felt a little prickle in his heart when he saw her red eyes.

"If you want me to apologize to Louisa, then no. I won't do it," Leena said in a firm tone, lifting her head to gaze at him. Truthfully, she didn't think she did anything wrong today.

"Who said you had to apologize? I just want you to talk about the cause of what you did. Is that okay?" Kevin kneaded the line between his brows, feeling like he was unable to deal with this. But he could not leave the problem unresolved.

"Can I say no? I do not want to say yes. If Louisa really insists that I have to apologize, tell her that she can come straight to me, instead of letting you stand up for her." Leena felt depressed to the extreme. Did Kevin still choose to believe Louisa? If so, he would definitely question her about what she did.

"Leena, can't you be more rational? What is the meaning of 'stand up for her'? Did you mean to say you think I won't stand by your side?" Kevin frowned. He really did not like her act of pushing him away from her. After all, no matter what, he was her husband. He would not help others in bullying her!

"Yes, I'm not rational enough. But don't you always know that?" Leena jutted out her chin. She looked like a little hedgehog with erect thorns all over her body, as if only this way could she protect herself from injury.

"Leena, I did not come here to quarrel with you, but to solve this problem. Can you not be so sensitive?" Kevin felt somewhat helpless. He wasn't scolding her. So why was she being so aggressive right now?

"What did you say? I am sensitive? Kevin Gu, you have the heart to blame me, don't you? You know that I slapped your commander's daughter, which means you will get into trouble because of me. So, are you sure you can continue to be calm?" Leena asked him solemnly. Truth be told, she had not considered that when she slapped Louisa. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been so impulsive. But the strange thing was, even if she calmed down now, she could not find it in herself to regret what she did.

"So you are beginning to worry about me now?" Kevin did not reply to her, but asked her another question instead. He was quite interested in her answer.

"I'm sorry about it. But I don't regret it." Leena lowered her head. Her small face was pale. She admitted that she did not consider him when she got angry and slapped her. She might have made trouble for Kevin. That was on her.

"Let's go. We need to go home first." Kevin stretched out his palms, waiting for her to grab them. He thought they should not be here in such a circumstance. It was better for them to go home early. After all, Leena needed a quiet space to calm down, didn't she?
