It'll Come Naturally

As time went by, Dorothy became one of the stars of FX International Group. She was a high profile celebrity. Leena had great difficulty recognizing her when she saw her with the heavy makeup in press conferences. Back in time, she had been so innocent and pure. The woman was a stunner. Her beautiful face had made it possible for her to become a star. With the right makeup and clothes, she looked even sexier.

Leena could not help but smile as she turned her eyes away from the big screen. She was probably too concerned about this. She and Dorothy had nothing to do with each other. They were strangers. Why would Dorothy cause trouble for her on purpose? Leena's mood lightened up as she convinced herself of this. But as soon as she saw the dreaded medicine bag lying on the dining table, she fell down in the dumps again.

In the past, she had never thought it would be difficult for her to give birth. However, the cruel fate had decided that it was beyond her to have a child.

"Major General, Lieutenant General Hank is back." Lee rushed into Kevin's office. He was unlike his steady and calm self.

"Oh! Really? I'll go and see him then." Kevin was happy to hear this piece of news so he did not reprimand Lee for his behavior.

"He is reporting to the commander right now," Lee said, following him. It seemed that Lieutenant General Hank had done good work this time. It had been obvious from the delighted expression on his face.

To welcome Hank and celebrate his successful work, the army base held a party that night. Kevin was unable to return home on time. It was the same for Daisy.

"Here, Major General Gu and Senior Colonel Ouyang, I'd like to make a toast to you both. Thank you for being generous in recommending me for this task." Hank held a glass in his hand and looked at Kevin and Daisy with sincerity.

"You are welcome, Hank. We merely recommended you. You were only successful because of your real strength," Kevin said. He did not want to claim credit for Hank's success. Daisy voiced her agreement.

"Yes, he is right. If you were not the right person for the task, you would not have been chosen, no matter what we said to the commander. You have to believe that you earned it because of your reputation. You are a capable soldier and you deserve this," Daisy said, her voice cool as usual. Somehow, she looked more feminine today.

"Thank you! Cheers." Hank swallowed the wine in the glass in one go. He did talk too much, but his gratitude was obvious.

"Cheers!" Kevin and Daisy looked at each other and drained down their own glasses without hesitation.

Daisy had not had alcohol in a long time. Her face turned red as soon as she finished the wine. She looked even more beautiful under the light.

"Are you all right?" Kevin looked at her with worried eyes. As always, Daisy didn't do well with alcohol. She had been married to Edward for so long that Kevin thought she had finally been trained by Edward on how to handle it. It turned out she was still a wimpy drinker. "I'm fine. I just drank too fast and choked on the wine a bit," Daisy replied, smiling. She shook her head helplessly. It seemed that alcohol and her just didn't get along. She had a reaction to just a cup of wine. It was embarrassing.

"Do you want some water?" Kevin asked, still staring at her carefully. He no longer had feelings for her and was comfortable being friends.

"No, I'm fine. Hey, I heard that Leena's summer clothing launch was a big success." Daisy coughed a bit and changed the topic of conversation. She thought about how, before Justin went to Paris, he was reluctant to model for Leena. However, after he came back, all he could talk about was how great he looked on stage. Daisy realized that she did not have enough time to take Justin on holidays. He obviously loved his trip to France.

"Well, she did not tell me. She only said that it was not bad." Kevin frowned. He had asked Leena about the show, but she answered him very briefly. He did not press her for details. That was not his style.

"Oh. She is always so low-profile." If Justin had not told her how successful Leena's fashion show actually was, Daisy would never have known how popular Leena was in the romantic city of Paris.

"Yes, you are right. She likes to keep a low-profile. But somehow, I feel that there's something off about her since she came back from Paris. She is trying to act normal but I can tell from the look in her eyes. Eyes don't lie," Kevin said in frustration. Sometimes, he felt like no matter how much he loved her, he would always be unable to see through her. She was clearly hiding something from him. How could she not trust him with her secret?

"Really? Didn't you ask her what happened?" Daisy hesitated. She did not know if she should tell Kevin the truth. Leena had asked her and the others to keep the secret from Kevin for now. Daisy was in a dilemma.

"Yes, I did. But I think she didn't tell me the truth. She said that she watched too many Korean dramas, so now she's been feeling sad. I can tell she only said it to keep me from worrying over her," Kevin sighed heavily. He had been wondering about her situation for the last few days and almost couldn't stand it anymore. It was overwhelming him. Was she in trouble?

"Maybe you are thinking too much. Don't worry. She'll be fine soon." Daisy struggled with a guilty conscience, yet she forced herself to speak and behave as usual. To ease her mind, she picked up the glass in front of her. it had been filled up by the waiter again. Daisy gulped down the liquid. She coughed heavily immediately afterward.000000
