It'll Come Naturally
Chapter 1192 Getting Together (Part Two)

"Oh, right, a bath, I thought you were..." Hearing his words, Leena was relieved. However, she was too relaxed to mind her words and let her thoughts escape her lips subconsciously. She didn't realize it until Kevin got her. "What did you think I was going to do, huh?" Kevin asked with a wicked smile, shooting Leena a look fraught with meaning.

"Err...nothing. Take your time. I think...I should head downstairs to see if Claire's up," Leena stammered and sprinted out of the room in no time. Her heart was still beating fast while she was walking downstairs. 'Did you really think I'd tell you what I was thinking?' she thought to herself. There was no way she would have confessed that she was looking at Kevin, and that beautiful man's broad chest, and imagining the two of them making love.

Kevin didn't stop her, but he saw right through her. He continued to undress, still wearing his mischievous smile. Maybe he'd pursue something later, if there were still time.

One by one, the lights across the city turned on, burning away the darkness of night. The blurred yet colorful lights had become an undeniable part of the city, and had added to its charm. Without them, the city would not only lose its color and vitality, but would also be left in deadly silence.

Leena chose a bright red coat for tonight. Under the coat she wore a black close-fitting sweater with subtle puffy sleeves, paired with a skirt of the same series. She then picked a pair of high boots to complete her trendy ensemble. She looked young and trendy, and indescribably beautiful.

Claire's choice of outfit tonight was eye-catching, thanks to all the clothes Leena let her borrow. What was more, she decided to go for more natural makeup, rather than the smoky eyes. She was never fair-skinned, so that look wasn't for her. Natural one fit her so much better.

Given that Daisy loved spicy food, and i I was winter, they didn't book the Westin for tonight's dinner, but rather the Kate Hotel. That place had the best Szechuan food chef. They could also enjoy hot pot there to stave off the cold, a perfect choice for winter. When the three of them arrived at the Kate hotel, they met up with Daisy, who drove herself. She was still in uniform. Apparently, she came directly from the army base.

"Daisy, what took you so long? I heard that Edward and the others have been here a while, I thought that you were with them." Leena greeted Daisy as soon as she saw her. Leena was elated and held Daisy's arm while she talked. It was obvious she was excited to see her. It had been too long.

"I got held up on the base, luckily it's not too late. And I guess this is Kevin's sister, right?" Daisy asked, taking a good look at Claire. She had never met the girl before, but was impressed by her style. What she didn't know though, was that everything Claire wore was from Leena's wardrobe.

"Claire, this is the senior colonel..." Leena began to introduce them to each other. At the same time, however, Kevin was wondering what was up. He remembered her saying that she was ready to go when he left the army base. What could have happened afterwards? Why was she so late, even later than he was?

"Nice to meet you, Senior Colonel!" Claire said. Daisy had also caught her eye. Growing up in the military community, Claire had seen soldiers of all kinds, but she never knew a Senior Colonel to be so young and so beautiful.

"Ugh! Not so formal, please! Just call me Daisy," she replied with a kind smile. This was how she operated, a smile for those she liked, or should like. Claire was Leena's sister-in-law, so it was important that she got along well with her. Maybe Claire would be nicer to Leena then.

"Sure. Nice to meet you, Daisy." Claire said politely and pleasantly. She seemed more of a lovely girl when she stopped pretending she was better than everyone else. That was why Daisy would come to adore her.

"Nice to meet you, too. Let's just drop the formality from now on. You're Kevin's sister and Leena's sister-in-law, so we're family now. You're like my own sister," Daisy said. Although Claire could still sense that Daisy was a bit cool and distant in temperament, she didn't think she was a bad person because of her gentle tone.

Claire smiled back at Daisy. 'What does she mean by family?' she wondered. But she didn't know how to broach the subject and didn't press her any further. Daisy had aloofness written all over her, and Claire was clever enough to know that as nice as she seemed to be, there was still some distance there. She'd have to get to know her better. Leena was a lot easier to get along with.

"It's getting cold out here, Daisy. Let's get inside," Leena said, huddling against the cold. She was never good with cold, so even if she was swathed in layers of clothes, a gust of cold wind at the gate still made her shiver. That was why the temperature in her house was set higher than normal as well.

"You should put on more clothes, silly girl." Having said that, Daisy put her arm around Leena's shoulder, trying to warm her up. She was teasing her, true, but she was also making sure she was well cared-for.

"You alright, babe?" Kevin asked, gracing Leena with a look of concern. 'Damn, I should have remembered, ' he thought. 'I don't get cold easily, but Leena does.' It was his training as a soldier, so he was used to temperature extremes. She wasn't in the army, so she was standing there shivering, even though she wore more than he did.

"I'm okay. The wind's really cold, though. I can feel it right through my jacket." Leena shook her head, smiling. For a moment, she couldn't take her eyes off Kevin, for the more she looked at him, the more she liked his outfit tonight. She was not only proud of her fashion sense, but she could also see that he looked fantastic in those threads. She chose every piece of clothing for him. He looked both snazzy and dignified. Without a doubt, it was a good look for a major general.00000
