It'll Come Naturally
Chapter 1007 I Will Probably Never Be Okay (Part Three)

Upon seeing Kevin's big hand reaching toward hers, Leena thought about ignoring it first. After some hesitation, she eventually gave in and slipped her hand into his, following him out.

"Did you ask Mom what kind of flavor they like? Also, how many people will be present at the party?" As soon as she got out of the car, Leena blurted out the question. She knew that he hadn't asked, because she was beside him when he made the call. "Oh no. I forgot to ask that. How about we buy a cake of any popular flavor? And about the size, I think the guests would be some relatives and my father's old comrades in arms, so it's easy to calculate," Kevin analyzed after thinking for a while. "Okay, I see. I think Haagen-Dazs is the best choice. it's good in both flavor and style," They discussed as they walked toward the cake store. A cold breeze blew and curled up Leena's frizzled hair. Her hair danced in the air, sweeping over Kevin's face and shoulder.

"You decide. I don't know much about choosing a cake." Kevin touched his forehead lightly, feeling embarrassed. It was only when he behaved so simply and honestly that Leena could associate him with his image of a soldier. Most of the times, he was so cunning and wicked with her. He was just like Edward in that regard, harmless in appearance, but in actuality a sneaky and sly guy deep inside.

Lenna didn't expect such an answer from him and was taken aback. However, she stayed calm on the surface and walked into the store.

She was not a gourmet, so she didn't know much about cakes either. She also seldom ate cakes because she was on a diet. Leena feared being transported to the olden days when she was fat. It had been too miserable.

Kevin knew nothing at all about bakery, so he stood at Leena's back in silence and watched her choose the cake. According to him, Leena came from a rich family, so she certainly knew more about luxuries than he did.

"How about this one?" Leena stopped in front of a three-tier cake. She was attracted to the Haagen-Dazs matcha cake, her eyes flashing in excitement.

"It's good, but isn't it too small?" Kevin asked with concern. Theirs was a big family. Although they didn't live together, their relatives gathered to celebrate special occasions and festivals.

"Don't worry, there are different sizes available." Leena gave him a reassuring smile and went to the cashier's desk. She communicated with the sales person, who told her that they could get the cake only in the afternoon, because the size they wanted to order was too big and they didn't have it in stock currently.

After deciding on the cake, Leena chose some snacks for the kids too. She had seen Justin eat those snacks often, so she guessed that most of the kids in the party would like them too. It was very strange to her how Justin didn't get fat no matter how much he ate. So puzzling!

"Are you finished now? It is already noon, so how about we eat lunch first before we go home? You should get a taste of the specialties offered in the city," Kevin proposed eagerly. He was excited about the birthday party, so he forgot about the sickness he had lied about earlier.

"But didn't you say that you're not well? Are you sure you still want to hang around?" Leena asked hesitantly. Looking at his spirited face, Leena became suspicious of his behavior.

"Yes, I was only feeling a little dizzy. But it looks like it's gone now, so I'm good to go." Leena's question sent a shiver down his spine. He completely forgot that he was supposed to be ill!

"Kevin, did you lie to me about that? There was nothing wrong with you right from the beginning." Leena was clever and immediately saw through him. She looked at him in suspicion. How long would he continue playing this trick on her? "Well... Uh, how did you figure that out?" Kevin looked at her in fear, reckoning that she would be angry with him. He had made much efforts to make her feel concerned for him, and now he didn't want to screw that up because of the lie. "What do you think? You're so childish. You're a Major General! How could you lie to me?" Leena stared at him, annoyed. She was overwhelmed by his childish behavior. It surprised her that Kevin could do such thing. "What's wrong with it if I'm a Major General? Isn't a Major General human too?" Like father, like son. Kevin's tone was exactly the same as his father's. They were both overbearing and their words were irrefutable. "I didn't say that. You must think that way yourself." Leena laughed. It was said that sometimes a man acted like a rascal. Today it was proved right. The man in front of her belonged to that category of men. "Leena, spit it out! What made you avoid me the entire morning?" Kevin took the chance to ask her as Claire was not with them.

"Why would you think I was avoiding you? You think too much." Leena looked evasive at the query. Every time she lied about something, she avoided looking into people's eyes.

"Even if I believed you, you wouldn't believe it yourself." Kevin looked at her playfully. He knew that she was hiding something from him.

"I said no, I was not avoiding you. And if you really think so, I can't do anything about it. I have made myself very clear." Leena narrowed her eyes at him and swiftly stalked in the direction of the parking lot. She almost tripped, feeling troubled that Kevin had read her mind.0000000
