It'll Come Naturally

"Kevin, do you know what's wrong with him?" Leena asked. Watching Rain's car pull out into the street made her hug herself worriedly.

"Only love can hurt him that much," Kevin replied in a low voice. He remembered what Rain said to him last night, thus, he sighed.

"Love can be tiring sometimes," said Leena with a disapproving frown. She then gently leaned against Kevin's shoulder as if wanting him to comfort her.

"You're right, Nana! By the way, It's cold here. Let's get inside." Kevin wrapped his arms around Leena as he spoke. He had always cared about her health, thus, he protected her from the cold wind.

"Aren't you going to the army base today?" inquired Leena as she looked up at Kevin. Spending some quality time with him wasn't something she could easily get due to his career.

"I'm free today. Would you like us to go somewhere and do something together?" Kevin lowered his head and kissed his wife's forehead gently. Leena had been excessively stressed recently. Heaven knew that he would do everything to comfort her mind.

"I'm too familiar with S City and we don't have much time to enjoy some out-of-town trips. Just forget it, Kevin. Let's just stay at home." These days, Leena had spent most of her time at home as she was rushing her designs. She would love to go out and travel. However, she wasn't ready to do that with Kevin emotionally yet.

"How about we go shopping? Don't girls like that? Just walking around the mall with their boyfriends or husbands?" He was trying his best. Nonetheless, Kevin felt as though Leena was getting out of his control. He really couldn't stop himself from getting illusions that she would leave him soon. He was wondering if his hunch was because of him being under great pressure recently or if it was his intuition that was telling him these things.

"Girls do that but not me. If you prefer to go shopping, we can buy some groceries." Leena had been getting herself ready for this for a long time now. As a worried wife, she intended to store some common goods for him just in case he might use them in the future. "Didn't you buy some of them a few days ago? Have you used them all already?" Disbelief was all over Kevin's face when he asked. He straightened his back as he looked at Leena with confusion. He was sure that her odd behaviors meant something. Was she planning to do something he didn't know?

"No. It is just better for us to have more in case of need," replied Leena. She seemed unsure of herself when she abruptly dodged Kevin's stare and looked away.

"Are you telling the truth?" Kevin lowered his voice even more. He hadn't been treated so carefully by other women. However, of all people he knew, he couldn't explain how Leena just did it to him so naturally. "Yeah! Otherwise, why would I do that?" Leena said. She put on a forced smile as she tried to hide her awkwardness. She couldn't afford to get her lie exposed so easily.

Born in a wealthy family, Leena had her own lists of luxury brands. It had been a habit for her to carry Kevin's bank card every day. However, she seldom used it as she always used her own money rather than his. "Leena, I'll pay this time," said Kevin. He gave his credit card to the shop assistant before Leena could take money from her bag.

"Ok! Thanks." Honestly, Leena didn't care about who would pay the bill. They were husband and wife. She would be happy enough as long as they were happy together.

A few minutes after, they were already carrying many shopping bags across the parking lot. However, just before they could open the trunk of their car, a black car suddenly rushed to them without even slowing down.

"Leena, watch out!" screamed Kevin. His body quickly reacted to pull Leena to his side. His teeth were gritted when he turned to the car that almost hit Leena.

Little did everyone know that the driver did this deliberately. When the driver realized that Leena had escaped, he slammed on the brakes, turned around, and rushed to them again.

Realizing the immediate risk, Kevin took Leena's hand and ran towards the exit. There was no way that Leena's life could be put into danger.

"What the fuck!" Leena was still in full shock about what was going on. However, Kevin's presence somehow calmed her down. She trusted Kevin and she knew that he would protect her no matter what.

"Let's get out of here. A car wouldn't run towards us twice without the intention of killing us," said Kevin seriously. Kevin eyed the car cautiously and put Leena behind him. His mind was reeling whether the driver was an enemy. He knew deep down that he might have pissed off some gangsters in the past. This could be an act of revenge against him.

"Let's get out of here," said Leena. Terror quickly ate her up after hearing Kevin's explanation. Moreover, she could read from Kevin's serious face that they were indeed in great danger.

"It's too late. I bet the roads outside have been blocked," Kevin frowned when he saw another car driving towards them. He had always been a brave man, however, an unexplainable fear still made it to his chest. What if these people got desperate and shot him and Leena? They might not survive this if that happened.

"What about now? What should we do?" To be honest, Leena had never been scared of death. However, knowing that Kevin was in danger together with her still frightened her. Kevin's safety was her biggest concern.

"Get on the car right now and call the police," ordered Kevin in a calm tone. His eyes were now focused on the group of men who were getting off the cars. He felt relief washed over him upon seeing no signs of guns anywhere.0000☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
