It'll Come Naturally
Chapter 1443 Back To Base (Part One)

There was a blank look on Leena's face as she walked out of the hospital building and stood at the entrance. She would have to wait a while to carry out her plan. Heaving a sigh of relief, Leena decided to treat this period as a reward for herself.

She remembered what Kevin had told her a couple of days ago. After thinking for several minutes, Leena proceeded to her car and drove towards a big mall. Hours later, she emerged bearing various plastic bags in both hands, with several sales clerks following her

carrying more shopping bags.

Afterward, Leena headed to a supermarket for food supplies. Her car was filled with an assortment of stuff when she drove to the army base.

It was 1 PM by the time she arrived at the residential area of the army base, which appeared deserted. She thought people might be napping.

She brought out the food that needed refrigerating before going upstairs. There were still a lot of things in the car, but it was impossible to carry all of them inside. Leena planned to call Kevin for help.

Using the key given by Kevin to enter the house, Leena found it empty. "Isn't Kevin taking a nap?" she asked herself.

Puzzled, she took out the coffee pot and began to make coffee while calling Kevin.

Kevin picked up the phone and recognized Leena's voice. "Hello, Nana!" he greeted her. The man was busy, but stopped what he was doing. He was studying a large military map spread out on his desk when Leena called. There was another military assignment for him again.

"Kevin, where are you?" Leena inquired. "In the office?" she guessed. While speaking, she familiarized herself with the kitchen. The last time, she had a hearty meal in Battalion Commander Xu's house. Deciding to invite Kevin's colleagues and their wives to dinner this evening prompted her to shop spree earlier.

"Yes," he answered. Suddenly alert, he asked, "What's wrong?" He dropped his pen and leaned back on his chair to take a break. Kevin was hunched over his desk and realized he needed to stretch.

"Nothing," Leena assured him. "I didn't see you around, so I called to check on where you are." Opening the refrigerator, she saw there was only dried food inside, and no fresh produce. She filled it with her purchases.

"You didn't see me around? Does that mean you're in the army base?" Kevin asked. He was surprised by what she said, and sat straighter on his chair.

"Yes, I am. I just arrived," Leena told him. "You told me the women here miss me, so here I am," she said with a bitter smile. He couldn't see her expression, which was just as well. Leena was afraid there would be no chance to visit in the future, so she took the opportunity to see the military spouses now.

"Is that so? Okay, wait for me," Kevin said as he cleaned up. Quickly, he put the things away, stood up and walked to the door.

"I thought you were busy," Leena hurriedly said. "So, you don't need to come. I can handle myself, thank you." The only reason she called Kevin was to ask him to invite his colleagues and their wives to dinner.

But Kevin insisted, "It's lunch break. You don't think I need to take a break?" As he opened the door, Kevin was startled to see Daisy standing outside and was about to knock.

"Where are you going? You seem to be in such a hurry," she pointed out with a frown. Fortunately, Daisy was quick enough to pull back her hand because otherwise, she would have rapped on Kevin's face.

Regaining his composure, Kevin said, "Hi Daisy!" He was trying to think if they had an appointment. "Did you want to see me about something?" Kevin inquired. He was still speaking on the phone and didn't hang up because he thought there was nothing between him and Daisy that he needed to keep from Leena.

"Oh, I just wanted to discuss the Falcon with you. But if you're busy, I can come back later," Daisy put on a smile as she answered. Thanks to Edward, she had mellowed in personality.

"Hmmm. How about this? You can go with me to discuss it on the way. Leena's here, and I'm on my way to see her," Kevin suggested. He was dying to see Leena immediately. He missed her, and like any man madly in love with his wife, he was rushing to see her. "Really? Leena's here? I haven't seen her in a long time. Okay, let's go!" Daisy said enthusiastically. Her smile grew wider after hearing that Leena was in the army base. Daisy always treated Leena like her own sister.

Since Kevin hadn't ended the call, Leena overheard their conversation. Her face twitched. She was thinking Daisy might scold her later for not having visited her and Edward for a long time.

Kevin and Daisy went downstairs together. Soldiers were taking a nap, so the army base was quiet.

"I heard army wives are very fond of Leena," Daisy said. A story came to her mind about an officer who told Daisy about his wife always asking when Kevin's wife would come to the army base again.

"Yes, she gets along well with them. You know, our army base is far away from the city and traffic is not convenient. So women here seldom have the opportunity to go to the city to shop for clothes. Leena is a fashion designer, and they want her to help them mix and match clothes for them. That's quite understandable, right?" Kevin explained. He smiled as he remembered the many times soldiers' spouses would stop and ask him when Leena would be coming. Unfortunately, his wife had been really busy lately.

"Oh, I see. I was wondering if we could arrange a shuttle bus to run twice a day between the army base and city, so people without cars can go there and come back easily and without hassle. Presently, we only have a bus operating between the camp and food market, and this isn't very convenient for them," Daisy suggested. She'd had this idea for a long time, but no one proposed a shuttle bus before. So, Daisy thought they didn't need one. Now, it seemed she'd been wrong in her assumption, and they indeed needed to go to the city frequently.000000000000
