It'll Come Naturally
Chapter 1045 A Frank Talk (Part Three)

"Is it really okay?" The housekeeper hesitated. It was the long-standing tradition that servants should not eat with their masters that had been holding her back. She was classified as a servant and the thought of it bothered her a lot.

"Of course, it's okay. Come and take a seat!" Leena smiled in a comforting way. She was always easy-going in the Leng's house. It was the very reason why everyone liked her a lot.

"Okay. I'll take a seat since you said that." The housekeeper finally compromised and sat down carefully. She wasn't able to relax though and remained acting over-cautiously during the meal.

It was after dinner that Leena proposed to go back to the Gu's house. That earned an automatic rejection from Kevin though. He wanted to take advantage of this chance to spend some time alone with her. The ambiance there was nice and the place was beautiful. It would be the perfect place to relax.

"Are you feeling cold?" Kevin reached out and started buttoning her coat. He was concerned that she might catch a cold as the temperature outside was relatively lower. He didn't think that her coat was warm enough.

"No, I'm not," Leena replied shortly. There was a lot of things she wanted to say but then just swallowed her thoughts. She wanted to tell him that no matter how cold it was, she would always feel as warm as the spring or as hot as the summer as long as he was holding her hands. She knew that the thoughts were too dramatic, thus, she felt shy to blurt them out.

"I'm sorry for what happened today, Leena. You would not be wronged so much if it were not because of me," Kevin stopped and apologized. He looked right into her eyes and Leena lost all her chance to evade him. His eyes easily got her captivated.

"I am okay as long as I could stay with you." She honestly said without breaking their stares. There was no point to deny that fact in the first place.

"Am I really that good? You have sacrificed too much." The man was serious as he spoke. He thought that it was the perfect time for them to frankly talk about their relationship and his old feelings about Daisy.

"Sacrificed? You are not me and you don't know how I feel. Everyone's view is subjective. Just like the landscape in front of you, how you see it will always depend on how you feel. A leaf changes its color and shape according to how the sunlight hits it," Leena explained indifferently. It was her inner emotions speaking for her and she was totally different from the jolly and always smiling girl that everyone knew. She seemed to be totally a mature woman.

"Can you tell me when did you know about my feelings for Daisy?" It was Kevin who broke their eye contact and evaded her as he talked. He couldn't stand looking in her pure eyes with another woman's name in his mouth.

"When? Is it really that important?" Leena's eyes dimmed. An ironic smile rested on her lips. She wondered if he would ever love her the same as he did with Daisy.

"Not really. I just asked because I want to know your opinion about it." His fingers around her soft hand went tighter as he was pitch black about what her reply would be. The anxiousness he was feeling that time had greatly surpassed all the other times he felt anxious during his entire life.

"I don't think that my opinion matters a lot. The most critical thing in here is if you are still hurt because of Sis Daisy." Leena smiled bitterly. She never blamed Daisy for anything. She sincerely admired her instead. Both Kevin and Edward were excellent men and they both chose to greatly love her, although Kevin's love remained unrequited. She believed that Daisy deserved it because she was also an excellent woman. Plus, Daisy had made great efforts to win Edward's love. She couldn't be happier that her Sis Daisy eventually won it. Leena hoped she could end up with the same from Kevin.

"Do you want to hear the truth?" Kevin shot her a quick glimpse. He had never expected for this little woman to be that rational. He thought that Leena had quickly matured as compared to how she was supposed to be.

"Be gentle with telling it to me if the truth is that harsh. You might just accidentally kill me here should you do it too abruptly. I think that you've already known that I've fallen deeply in love with you even without me telling you, right? So just be fair with me for a bit. You don't have to comment about what I said. That's all I want. I don't think it's such a big thing to request for, right? So you might as well tell me what you are to say before you change your mind." Leena bit her lips after she forced herself to say those words. She was so pressured about what Kevin was about to tell. She knew that they would eventually talk about this problem and there would be no escape from it.

"Don't worry! I would never talk with you about this if I hadn't let go of my feelings for her yet. To be more precise, I've already lost all my feelings for Daisy. She is not the one who owns my heart anymore. I still care for her because I consider her to be one of my best friends. Just like how Rain and Tom feel for you, my feelings for Daisy have nothing to do with love. It is purely just family affection now." A melancholic smile spread through Kevin's face. Yes! It was just impossible for his heart to beat for Daisy now! How would that even happen when the woman who belonged to him and he cared for the most was just standing next to him, right?
