It'll Come Naturally
Chapter 1296 Hi, Beauty! (Part Two)

Patricia's race would be held within a month and it made her worry. She could do nothing other than pray for her. This was Patricia's dream. Leena had no right to stop her from doing this.

"Babe, what are you thinking about? You didn't even notice when I came home." Kevin was surprised to see Leena staring ahead blankly. She looked upset.

"Um... It's nothing. I was just in a haze, Kevin. You're back. Was work busy?" Leena asked and proceeded to the kitchen to fetch the dishes.

"It was busy as usual. Daisy accidentally sliced her hand. I guess Edward would accuse her when he sees her wound." Kevin was now fully aware of his feelings and talked about Daisy very casually. Daisy was family to him now. "What? Daisy got hurt? Is it serious?" Upon hearing this, Leena stopped ladling soup into the bowl. She grew concerned about Daisy.

"Don't worry. She'll recover in a couple of days," Kevin assured Leena and smiled. Daisy was often injured, but this time her wound was not as serious as before.

"Oh, thank God. I'll call her after dinner to ask about it." Leena placed a bowl of soup before Kevin. She missed the times when Claire lived here. The house had been full of laughter then.

"All right. But Daisy seemed to be in a bad mood today," Kevin said. He took a sip of the soup. 'Daisy was in a bad mood. That was why she got caught off guard and hurt herself. I guess she was pissed off with Edward, 'he thought.

"Don't worry. Daisy is a reasonable person. She won't vent her anger on innocent people. She has never blamed me before." Leena put food into Kevin's bowl repeatedly, as if she wanted to fatten him up before selling him in the market.

"All right. I'm going to H City tomorrow morning. I will come back very late at night. Don't wait up for me, okay? Go to bed early and don't stay up late. It's bad for your health." Kevin looked at her in concern. Whenever he was not home, she went to bed very late. Even if he was home, she tossed and turned restlessly. Maybe she was used to sleeping late and it was hard for her to fall asleep early.

"Sure!" Leena answered. She would not ask her husband about his whereabouts. She wanted Kevin to know that she was an understanding wife.

"Why aren't you asking me why I'm going to H City?" Kevin asked in disbelief. He could understand why she never asked about his whereabouts in the past, for their marriage had been based on different interests at that time. But now that they had confessed their feelings for each other, he didn't understand why she still didn't care about him.

"You're a soldier. Your whereabouts are top secret. I don't want to be arrested for exploring state secrets, okay?" Leena grumbled, pursing her lips. The lesser she knew, the safer she would be. She didn't want to get involved in state secrets.

"Ha! Good for you! You should stick to that. Otherwise, I'm afraid you would be arrested one day," Kevin joked. Leena's words amused him.

"Don't scare me like that! I'm a good citizen and I observe laws and disciplines. I've never done anything illegal in my life. I lived abroad for a couple of years, but I swear I never betrayed my country." She knew Kevin was kidding, but somehow she felt a little uncomfortable.

"You really know how to clear yourself of accusation, huh? Are you afraid of getting implicated by me?" Kevin asked and smiled at her teasingly. He was curious about her answer.

"No, I'm not. As long as you are here, I'm willing to go through thick and thin with you. You will protect me, won't you?" Leena stared into Kevin's eyes. She was willing to trust him completely.

"Go through thick and thin with me? Good girl! I swear I will protect you till I die." Kevin smiled at her. He had only been cracking a joke with his wife, but he was deeply moved by her statement. He made a silent vow to be loyal to her all his life.

After dinner, Leena picked up the phone to call Daisy. She had been injured and Leena was worried about her.

"Hello, Leena. What's up?" Daisy was having a shower, so Edward picked up her phone and answered it when he saw the caller ID.

"Edward, where is Daisy? Is her injury all right?" Leena asked in confusion. 'Kevin said Daisy wasn't seriously injured. Why is Edward answering her phone?' she wondered.

"What? Who was injured?" Edward furrowed his brow on hearing this. He cast a meaningful glance at the bathroom.

"Um... You didn't know about it, did you?" Leena scratched her head in embarrassment. 'Damn it! What I have done? Daisy is now in trouble because of me!'

"I know now! That's it, I'm hanging up. I'll ask her to call you back later." After ending the call, Kevin threw the phone on the bed and strode toward the bathroom. He turned the doorknob, but as he had expected, the door was locked. 'Fine! You are trying to hide the fact that you got injured again. We need to have a conversation about this!' he thought.

"Hey, what's with the look on your face? What happened?" When Kevin came out of the kitchen, he noticed the shock written all over Leena's face.

"What should I do, Kevin? It looks like I got Daisy into trouble." Leena looked at him expectantly. She hoped that he would have an idea that would fix her mistake. She hadn't expected that Daisy would make a secret of her injury.

"What did you do?" Kevin sat down next to her. He couldn't believe Leena was able to get Daisy into trouble in such a short time.

"Edward didn't know Daisy was injured, but I just told him. I'm screwed!" Leena knew how much Edward cared about Daisy. He must have lost his mind after learning that Daisy was injured.

"Don't worry. They'll be fine. You are thinking too much," Kevin assured her. No matter how angry Edward was, he would never hurt Daisy. Edward loved Daisy too much. Kevin was the same. No matter how disobedient Leena was, he would never get angry at her. "Really?" Leena stared at him tenderly. She was ready to believe whatever Kevin told her.

"Yes, I'm sure of it. Don't worry about them. Let's go upstairs." Kevin stood up. He slipped his arm around her waist as they went upstairs. Little did he know that tension was already brewing between Daisy and Edward.

With one hand injured, Daisy took a long time to take a shower. Much to her surprise, she saw Edward eyeing her from head to toe when she opened the bathroom door. His face was long and hard. He looked like he had something on her.

"What are you doing here? Were you peeping on me while I was taking a shower?" Daisy dried her hair with a towel. She walked to the dresser and applied her skin care products. It was winter. She had dry skin so she put on moisturizer every day.

"Senior Colonel Ouyang, don't you want to confess something to me?" Edward asked, following her. He joked around with her usually, but he was in no mood for it now. Daisy not only got hurt but even tried to conceal the fact from him. They had made a deal before that she would take care of herself and be honest with him, but she had broken her promise. Edward was furious.

"Confess something? Like how many bowls of rice I've eaten today? Or how many men I've seen today?" Daisy retorted in a harsh voice. She had seen Edward being cozy with an actress yesterday. It had angered her.

"Don't try to sidetrack me. Are you still planning to keep me in the dark?" Edward rested his chin on her shoulder. He stared at the woman in the mirror and gave her a cold smile.

"I don't know what you are talking about. I'm going to check on Justin." Daisy stood up and was about to leave, for she felt it was rather dangerous to stay with him.

"You know what I'm talking about, and you know why I'm angry. That's why you want to leave now, am I right?" Edward strode forward and blocked the door. He didn't dare to grab her arm as he had no idea which part of her was injured.0000
