It'll Come Naturally -
Chapter 1398 We Are Not That Familiar (Part Two)
"Hello. It's me," Leena answered in a low voice and didn't say Kevin's name out loud because she was in front of Dorothy. She didn't want Dorothy to know it was Kevin's call. "I know it's you. I am wondering if you are free now?" Kevin felt amused at her words. How could he not know whom he was calling?
"Yeah, I am free. What's up?" Leena got a bit nervous all of a sudden. She was worried that he might want to discuss with her again, the thing that he brought up the other night.
"Right. I forgot to bring one of the documents. I'm sure I left it on your desk. Do you think you can bring it to me?" It was not some secret file, just his daily report that was important for the meeting this afternoon, Leena could save him a lot of time and effort if she could bring it to him. This way, he wouldn't have to drive home himself..
"Yeah, of course. Give me your location and I'll bring it to you. See you later." Leena stood up after these words. But then she sat down again as if she suddenly thought of something.
"Miss Lu, I'm sorry. I have to go now. I have something urgent to do. You can stay here and finish your coffee. It's all on me, as an apology." Leena smiled a bit apologetically at her. Secretly, she let out a sigh of relief. She was glad that Kevin called her now, because she really wanted to leave but she couldn't replace a good excuse to do so. It was so awkward sitting in front of a person she didn't really like and having small talk with the said person. The call was really a life-saver.
"That's all right. Just do your thing. Thanks for the coffee. Good-bye!" Dorothy flashed a friendly smile at Leena and thanked her for the coffee, as if she didn't mind Leena brushing her off at all. But as soon as Leena turned around and left the coffee shop, her smile quickly disappeared. She stared at Leena's back with cold and angry eyes, then a mocking smirk slowly came up on her face as she rolled her eyes.
When Leena pulled over in front of the army base, Kevin was already there waiting for her. As soon as he saw Leena's car, he quickly walked over to her with an excited smile on his face. He was grateful that Leena had agreed to bring his document for him. Also, he was happy to see his adorable little wife at his place of work. It was not the most ideal thing to do but maybe they should do this more often.
"How long have you been waiting here?" Leena asked a bit sheepishly while getting out of the car. She was not a fast driver, so it took her quite a while to get here.
"Not for long, just a few minutes. Are you cold?" Kevin reached out his hand and fixed her coat for her. He had a small amused smile on his face. Leena was never a fan of the cold weather. She was more of a summer kind of girl. So she usually dressed herself up like a bear with multiple layers when the weather was too cold.
"No, I'm not. I am dressed warmly today." Leena had a big silly smile on her face, looking at Kevin with adoring eyes. Ever since Kevin realized his love for her, breaking down that solid barrier of indifference, she could tell from his small acts of endearment that he was really in love with her. This made her very happy. It was true that the big and grand gestures were the most unforgettable ones, but it was the small things that truly counted and held everything together. So now, it felt like nothing would ever break them apart. "That's good. Well, thanks again! I really appreciate you coming all the way over here and doing this. I'm the luckiest man in the world, aren't I?" Kevin inhaled deeply, enjoying this moment. "Well, take extra care as you drive back. I will see you tonight! I love you! Unfortunately, I have to prepare for a meeting now." Kevin glanced down at his watch. It was time for the meeting. Though he wanted badly to stay here and chat with his wife some more, he had to get inside now. It was an important session with a few superiors attending and he didn't want to keep them waiting.
"Um, can I wait for you here, until you get off work?" Leena rarely came to the army base, so she wanted to stay and wait for Kevin so that they could go home together. It would be nice to go home with her husband, like what normal couples would do.
"It's still a few hours till I get off work, silly girl. I don't want you to waste your time just sitting around, waiting for me here." Kevin gently pinched her face. She was really cute sometimes. But Kevin didn't take her words too seriously. He thought that she was just joking. If she decided to actually stay until he got off work, she would have to wait for hours before they could leave.
"I won't mind it at all. I really want to." Leena stared at Kevin with eager eyes, hoping that he would see how much she wanted to wait for him. She didn't have anything else to do for the rest of the day anyway. It would be better than just staying around the house. Their home felt empty without him.
"Are you serious?" Kevin couldn't do anything about it, because Leena seemed to have already made up her mind. He just shook his head helplessly at Leena and silently agreed. Well, if this was what she really wanted, who was he to deny her this little wish?¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶
