It'll Come Naturally
Chapter 1074 Strike Back (Part One)

"I don't think so. It looks like Edward hasn't mentioned that to Duke." Kevin knew very well how important Leena was to those powerful men. If they ever got to know that Leena was in pain or suffering, Kevin could be in serious trouble. "Never let him know that. Otherwise things will get complicated." Leena had a clear understanding of her brother's personality and what he was capable of. He wouldn't tolerate any wrongdoings towards his sister.

"The inevitable happens one way or another and there's no escaping from it. We better let nature take its course. Fire can't be wrapped up in paper. Why bother yourself in a fruitless attempt to hide it from them?" Kevin was quite open-minded about this. He had no secrets to hide from others. As long as he was honest and big-hearted, he would be fine.

"But I'm worried about you. You know that Duke gets ill-tempered sometimes, especially when I am involved. You should know the consequences better than others." Leena was a bit worried. Duke harbored grudges against Kevin already. If he was informed of what happened to her, it would mean trouble.

"Don't worry. I can endure the pain," Kevin answered. He smiled at his wife soothingly. As he did so, he released her hands and looked over her, his gaze intense.

"Why are you staring at me?" Leena asked nervously. It made her feel embarrassed to be stared at so passionately. She subconsciously touched her face, fearing that it was smeared by mud or something.

"It just occurred to me how bright and beautiful my wife is." Leena's innocent face was charming and her luscious figure was tantalizing. Kevin reached out and chucked her under the chin. He was grateful to her. When he had felt let down and been extremely disappointed, Leena decided to marry him. As a result of that, he stopped pitying himself and managed to pull himself together.

"So? Don't you know that you found a treasure when you married me?" Hearing his explanation, Leena felt close to Kevin for the very first time. This man finally belonged to her. Although it was a long road before Kevin truly fell in love with her, that day would certainly come, wouldn't it? Leena was willing to give up everything if it meant that day would arrive. She had to win over his love.

"The more you get, the more you want. Now scoot and get dressed. We can't keep Claire waiting. She's likely to get impatient and come upstairs, demanding us to hurry up." Kevin pinched her adorable cheeks. Deep down in his heart he realized what Leena meant, but he couldn't admit it in front of her. Otherwise, she would get arrogant and tease him.

"Do I really need to change my clothes if we are just going out for dinner?" Leena looked at herself in the mirror, replaceing her clothes to be fine. They had traveled quite a distance today, but she didn't see the need to change into something else.

"Are you sure you want to wear these warm clothes around the city? Don't forget the temperature here is a lot higher than it is in Capital City." Kevin gazed at Leena in amusement, wondering how she forgot about the weather she had been so accustomed to all these years.

"Yes, you're right. It's damn hot out there. I feel even hotter because I haven't taken off these warm clothes." In hindsight, she realized how stupidly dependent on Kevin she had become. She had gotten so used to being looked after by her husband.

"Darling, I am beginning to wonder how you managed your life when I was away," Kevin said. He found it funny to imagine the life Leena must have lived alone, in the past.

"I just got confused. Wait a minute for me, I'll get ready quickly," Leena said in haste. She loved the pleasant climate in S City. The temperature difference wasn't large in all the four seasons.

"Well, Don't rush. Take your time. I'll wait downstairs." Kevin usually wore a shirt and tie. All he needed was a light coat to ward off the cold in the early winter of S City.

"Fine. Please don't forget to take the car keys." Leena looked for suitable clothes in her closet. Now that she was back in her own house, she didn't feel forced to wear so-called appropriate clothes to see her in-laws. She could choose the clothes she liked, such as the popular, expensive and avant-garde ones that were normally the first choice of designers. She looked more like a model than a renowned designer in them.

"I won't. Rest assured. I'm not as absent-minded as you are." Kevin was about to take the keys of Leena's Ferrari sports car, but stopped on second thought. He chose his own Bugatti, since Leena's sports car only had two seats.

Claire was already dressed up for dinner. Impatiently, she waited downstairs for a long time, but Leena and Kevin didn't show up. She was about to yell at them when she saw Kevin come downstairs. "Kevin, what took you so long?" Claire asked in irritation. "Didn't you know I was waiting for you here?"

"No need to get mad. I'm here now, don't you see? What's the rush? It's still early," Kevin answered. He deliberately kept from Claire the reason he was late. He was talking to Leena about something important, so Claire had to wait.

"Why are you alone? Where is Leena? Don't tell me she is still dressing up? No matter how long she takes, she would still look old-fashioned and ordinary," Claire derided as a lopsided grin lingered around the corners of her mouth. Although she hated Leena, she didn't really dare to go too far in front of her brother. Reluctantly, Claire had to watch her mouth and not disrespect Leena, and even pretend to be nice.0000000000☐☐☐☐☐☐
