It'll Come Naturally

"Really? That is great!" Kevin was glad to hear the news, but he was puzzled. 'If this is not the reason why Leena is upset, then what could have happened to bother her so much?' he wondered.

"Yes, it really is. I'm so happy for her," Leena said and smiled. She truly loved this moment - strolling together through the beautiful park in peace, when no one was around.

"Nana, do you have something you want to tell me?" Kevin stopped and looked at Leena in the eye.

"No, I don't. I just want to go for a walk with you after dinner," Leena said, dodging his eyes. She didn't think it was the right time to tell him the truth-that she could not get pregnant.

"I wish this moment could last forever. We could walk hand in hand to the end of the world," Kevin said as he started walking again. He had thought she would tell him what she had been hiding this evening, but it seemed she was still not prepared for it. He'd have to be more patient with her.

"I feel the same way. What a coincidence." Leena turned to look at Kevin with a smirk. She decided not to look so dejected in front of Kevin, otherwise, he would grow concerned.

"Yes, it is a coincidence," Kevin said. He rubbed her hands together to warm them up. Suddenly, a thought popped into his head - that Leena would leave him. 'What am I thinking?' Kevin shook his head.

"Kevin, I've made a prepayment for the utilities and gas. The water and electricity as well as the gas won't get cut off in a long time," Leena told him casually. She looked calm, but deep down, her heart was breaking into pieces. The pain seemed to spread through her veins.

"Why are you saying that?" Kevin stopped in his footsteps once again. He stared at Leena, trying to figure out what was going through her mind.

"Uh. I thought you wanted to talk, so I was just trying to make conversation. If you don't like it, I'd just keep quiet," Leena said. She smiled wryly. She pretended to be pissed so Kevin would not uncover her true intentions. "Nana, you know I didn't mean it that way. You've been so down recently. I'm really worried about you," Kevin said earnestly. Somehow, he had a bad feeling about all of this.

"What? Come on. You are not making sense! I've been very good. You haven't noticed because you've been slaving at work and are exhausted all the time." Leena tried her best to hide her grief, still acting like the sweet and happy wife in front of her husband.

Kevin also wished that he had just misunderstood Leena's mood. But she kept telling him about trivial matters in the house that needed his attention, such as his clothes and the electricity. She sounded like she was going to leave for a long time. It was really confusing for him. What was she planning?

"Kevin, I've matched up your clothes and hung them in the wardrobe. When you have to wear them, just take them out in sets, okay?" Once again, Leena began to remind Kevin of household affairs. He was unable to stand it anymore, so he came to a halt. He pulled her arm to stop her and faced her, staring in her eyes.

"What is all this? What do you want to tell me? What are you going to do?" Kevin asked. His eyes were fixed upon her face as he tried to figure out what she was thinking. Leena still tried to avoid his eyes. She was being too elusive.

"Hah! Kevin, you are way too sensitive. It's nothing. Just that I won't be at home every day. My time will be spent in preparation for fashion week in the coming months. I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of you then. You would need to look after yourself." Suddenly, Leena threw herself into Kevin's arms and kissed him on the lips. She hadn't expected Kevin to know her so well. He had guessed something was wrong with her.

"Nana, don't try to sidetrack me. My gut is telling me that you are hiding something from me." Kevin was not distracted by her kiss, nor did he believe her explanation. She had been busy in the past, but back then she had never spoken such words to him. He was bewildered. 'Why is she speaking like this? Does she have a fatal disease?'

"Oh, really? Then guess what I'm trying to hide from you. I promise I won't make fun of it." Leena flashed him a wide grin. Those who didn't know her well would be deceived into thinking she was happy, but Kevin knew her too well. He could see the sorrow in her eyes. She was deeply distressed.

"It doesn't matter what you are trying to hide from me; you are my wife in this lifetime. You are not allowed to leave me. Wherever you go, I will find you. Even death can't part us," Kevin declared firmly. He was quite frustrated. He was dying to know the truth, but he could not force Leena to tell him. Her sweet smile was ripping his soul apart as a sharp dagger would. She was laughing in his arms but crying on the inside. It was painstaking.

Leena met Dorothy once again. This time, they met at the promotion party for a TV show. Leena had gone there as Rain's companion.

"Leena Leng, you look stunning tonight," Dorothy told her with a smile. She was wearing a purple dress that accentuated her perfect body.

"Thank you, Miss Lu. You look good too," Leena answered politely. To most people, she was a sight to behold. She had fair skin and brown hair that emphasized her bright eyes. She was fond of white, so she chose to wear a white dress tonight. She looked like a fairy out of a tale with her light make-up and jacinth lipstick.

"Why isn't Major General Gu with you tonight?" Dorothy asked her when she noticed that Kevin was not around.

"Oh, well, he never comes to this kind of parties," Leena explained casually as her eyes followed Rain. She saw him flirting with the actresses. Leena felt sorry for him. She wondered how long it would take for him to finally move on and find love again.00000
