It'll Come Naturally
Chapter 1043 A Frank Talk (Part One)

Leena might have slept for a long time. It didn't mean that she had slept quietly though. She had mumbled, tossed, and sometimes, talked in her dreams. She also did a lot of sluggish gestures the whole time she was in bed. Needless to say, she was undoubtedly drunk. It was the minor hangover that welcomed Leena as soon as she woke up in a daze. She couldn't help but stretch her arm and attempt to knock her throbbing head slightly. She was only a split second away from the first knock when a huge hand suddenly caught her wrist immediately and made her jerk out of her wits.

"Don't do it. You already have an addle head. You might just worsen the case if you do it." Kevin smiled with spoiling eyes. He never anticipated Leena to sleep for such a long time. He was actually a bit anxious earlier as he waited for her to wake up. There were even sometimes when he put his finger close to her nose just to feel her breath as if he was afraid that she would not wake up anymore.

"Kevin, why are you here?" Leena was completely shocked and had lost all her composure. She had never expected him to appear before her at all!

"You guess." Kevin tidied her messy long hair as he replied. He didn't have a plan to ask her why she ran away. He was thoughtful enough to understand that those sad and awkward questions would just annoy her.

"I'm sorry! I didn't mean to run away from home. I just wanted to replace a quiet place to stay alone." Leena lowered her head and apologized humbly as if she was the one that made a mistake.

"Yes. I see. Are you hungry? Let's go and eat something." Ironically, Kevin did not blame her at all and chose to care for her instead.

"No, I'm not. My head is still aching." The lady said as she lifted her hand again to knock her head. Same as earlier, Kevin caught her wrist again. He stopped her from hurting herself further and the next thing she knew was that he was already massaging her head. "Don't drink too much next time, okay? It will make your headache worse." Kevin frowned slightly as he skillfully and gently rubbed her eyebrows.

"Are they angry?" She did not respond to his warning but asked something else. She looked at him worriedly and wondered about the consequences that her action had created.

"Mom's worried about you. She said that you would always be the daughter-in-law of the Gu Family." The man answered her question but in a way that it would not touch anything about Nathan's attitude. It would be best if Leena wouldn't hear anything about his father's coldness.

"What about Dad?" That question from Leena almost made Kevin cough. It seemed like avoiding the topic was actually purposeless as she was very much concerned about his father's thoughts of her.

"He's fine. We don't need to worry about him." He knew what Leena really wanted to know but then he chose to drop the topic right there. It was obvious that he didn't want to talk to her about his dad. However, Leena was sensitive and was able to read his thoughts through his shifty eyes. She knew right then that Nathan must be very displeased with her. She sadly shut her eyes and concluded that it was her caprice that made everything around them even more terrible.

"Kevin, did I cause you trouble?" Leena asked carefully. She knew that Kevin was fond of intellectual people. However, how she behaved hours ago was far from being an intellectual woman. She did it at will and did not care about the results. She had been trying so hard to be a mature woman. All her efforts didn't matter though thanks to her willful behavior.

"No, not at all. Don't think too much. Is your head still aching?" Kevin stopped what he was doing and then suddenly pulled her in an embrace. The more she acted thoughtfully, the more he felt that he owed her.

"No, it feels much better now. Thank you!" Leena forced a smile because of his tender actions. She did it to comfort him although her head was still aching a bit.

"Leena, we are a couple, right?" said Kevin as he bent over and looked into her eyes seriously.

"Yes, of course. I'm aware of it. Is there anything wrong?" Panic arose from Leena upon hearing him. Would he talk about the divorce Nathan had threatened her with? That was the last thing she would like to do! Just the thought of it was enough to mess her heart. What if she had guessed right? How was she supposed to respond? Would she agree on the divorce decisively? Or would she beg not to divorce? There was even no need to ask. She would definitely choose the latter as she had fallen for him so deeply and wholeheartedly. She had loved him blindly even without any assurance that he felt the same.

"Yes, there's something wrong! Have you ever met a couple who behave like us? You are being too polite and even thank me for everything I do regardless of how small they are." Kevin disliked it very much when she was acting distantly from him. He was bothered about those things as what he wanted was for her to be closer.

"Oh! Is that what you want to say? I thought..." Leena paused and did not continue her words. She was suddenly relieved. The only thing she would consider serious as of that time was divorce and nothing else.

"You thought what?" asked Kevin confusedly. He got no clue about what she was trying to say.

"Oh! Nothing! What time is it? It looks quite late." The lady turned her head to the window and noticed how dark it was outside already.

"Almost eight o'clock. You've been sleeping for several hours." The handsome man answered as he checked his watch. Their dinner had been ready a long time ago. Nonetheless, he wanted to have it with his wife, thus, he waited for her to wake up. Those foods were probably cold by now."]
