It'll Come Naturally
Chapter 1247 The Misunderstanding (Part Three)

Leena continued walking as if she hadn't seen Kevin. He gritted his teeth and followed her. Because he needed time to calm down and think, or he was afraid that he would shout at her in frustration. He was happy when he found her, then she made his heart sink again by walking off.

He was about to call his men stationed at the base and have his soldiers to help him look for Leena. Because he was extremely worried that something might happen to her -- and he was right. But he heard her voice down the alley, and quickly ran to her direction and helped her chase off the thug. And then she stalked off again.

Finally, after a few minutes' walk, he walked up to her and grabbed her wrist. In shock, Leena fell backwards and he caught her in his arms.

"Why did you leave without saying anything?" Kevin held her tightly in his arms. He had thought he almost lost her. He didn't mind the people passing by staring at them with strange looks on their faces. He didn't care. He had her back, and he was in heaven -- for the moment.

"Not like you care. Let go of me!" Leena struggled violently, trying desperately to break free. But Kevin didn't let her go, instead, he held her even tighter.

"Not like I care? What are you talking about? You're being unfair, Nana. I care about you. A lot." Kevin was frowning, now, his feelings of euphoria forgotten. He didn't let go of Leena because he had sensed that Leena's attitude towards him had changed. She was cold towards him. And that was something that never happened before. What was going on? And how could he fix it?

"Ha! Really? Don't even try to lie! If you really cared about me, you wouldn't have let that girl hug you! And you... you... you hugged her back!" Leena had to struggle to get the last bit out. She fought back tears, and tried to keep an even tone. Leena's tone was cold, distant and full of sarcasm. This was the first time that she showed her jealousy to him. She knew she was being petty, but she just couldn't help it. She cared too much about Kevin. He just stood there and took it, with an innocent look on his face.

"Honey, I'm not even friends with her. It's not what you think. If you'll just let me explain..." Kevin wasn't good at arguing with others, especially someone he cared for. So his explanation was pale compared to Leena's acrid words. His words were falling on deaf ears, and she was still mad at him. This wasn't helping.

"Why should I believe you? If you're not even friends, that's just... even more fucked up." Leena was not her usual self. She was always gentle with her words. She tried to refrain from cursing. But tonight, her words were full of sarcasm and venom. Was she really that disappointed in him? Maybe that was why she stopped caring what Kevin would think of her, and just let all her anger out, hoping to burn him with her white-hot rage.

"Leena! Would you listen to yourself?" Kevin let go of her and stared at her in disbelief. His eyes were cold, piercing through her already broken heart. And his heart broke to see her like that. It was his fault, in a way, too.

"Why do you care what I say? Ha! Screw it. Go replace a random girl again. Maybe you can fool them like you did me!" She couldn't contain her tears anymore and broke down again. Yes, she admitted that she was a bit extreme tonight. Her emotions were all out of whack, her self-control gone. But could he really blame her for acting like this? Not really. She saw what she thought was a romantic encounter, and she was hurt for it. But Kevin was hurting now, too.

"Come on! Now I know what the problem is. Let's go home and talk about this, okay?" Kevin didn't wait for her reply before taking her hand and pulling her towards the place where they parked their car. Leena's body was cold, and he needed to take her home and draw her a hot bath before she fell ill. He didn't want her to catch a cold before he even left home.

"No! I'm not going with you!" Leena kept struggling against Kevin's grip. But she just couldn't break free. After all, Kevin was a soldier, and he was quite strong.

"Don't push me, girl. Or I'll pick you up and take you home myself." Kevin's tone was serious. He had been looking for her for quite a long time. And he wasn't in a good mood right now. He just wanted to go back home and sort this out. She had to calm down eventually. Leena gritted her teeth. She wasn't afraid of Kevin, and she didn't care if everyone stared at them right now. But she didn't want to go anywhere with him. It didn't matter, because he practically dragged her to the car.

As soon as they got in, Kevin immediately turned on the heat and carefully fastened the safety belt for her. Staring at her for a second, he started the car and drove to the Grand Apartment.

On the way home, Leena kept her head towards the window, looking at the scenery passing by. She wouldn't even look at him, wouldn't say a word. Kevin also kept his mouth shut, lips thinning to a grim line. It was not a good time to explain. It would only make Leena angrier. They both needed some time to calm down first. So they drove in silence, passing by countless businesses hawking their wares in neon.

Kevin was the kind of man who didn't like to wait. So as soon as they got home, he went to the bathroom to draw a bath for Leena, making sure the water was hot enough. Then he put a few drops of relaxing oil into the water. He wanted to do everything he could to help her relax. She had passed her breaking point tonight.

Leena just stood there stubbornly, coldly watching Kevin doing all these things for her. She thought that Kevin dragged her into the bathroom with him just because he didn't want her to escape. She figured, 'Good, let him do all this. He deserves it.' And to be honest, she couldn't escape anyway. So she didn't even try at all.

"Take off your clothes. Or do you need my help?" Kevin said, taking off his military coat. He carelessly threw it on the shelf beside him. Then he rolled up his sleeves and looked at her with a cold look on his face. It was clear that he was also in a bad mood. He wasn't playful when he offered to help her undress.

"No. Just get out." Leena gritted her teeth and said in a cold tone, as if they were complete strangers. Kevin just sighed.

"Okay, you need my help." Saying these words, Kevin didn't give her any chance to struggle. He just grabbed her and yanked her coat off. There was no trace of emotion on his face. It seemed that their relationship was very strained at this moment. He tried not to be too rough, no matter how angry he was.

"Ah! Kevin, you little --" Leena wrapped her arms around herself protectively and glared at Kevin with angry eyes, fuming. This was not going to be a fun night.00000000000000
