It'll Come Naturally
Chapter 496 Do You Regret It (Part Two)

"You see? Then why did you get angry with her? When a man acts childish, and makes mountains out of molehills, he's more difficult to be understood than a woman! This much is true!" Leena shook her head. She could not comprehend this line of thinking. Meanwhile, she got more curious about Kevin. He looked mature and serious. Would he sometimes also act childishly like her brother did? She paused for an instant; she thought of him again! Why did he come into her mind? People always say that the more difficult it was to reach something or someone, the more interested one would become. Was it true?

"My dear girl, when did you see me get angry with her? I just don't stay around her. Is that a mistake too?" Just then Duke started to walk towards the building. Leena had no alternative but to follow him inside. But a man always walked more quickly than a woman. So Leena was left behind a little. She didn't catch up with him until when the elevator reached the first floor.

"The fact is that this is *not* normal. You're acting strangely, and now she's back there, confused and hurt! Is that what you want? You're not afraid that Belinda might think badly of you because of it?" Leena ran and caught up with him. She leaned herself on Duke, panting slightly. She felt her heart beat violently and attributed this phenomenon to the lack of exercise. She thought to herself; maybe from next week, she should go hiking, or do some sports in the gym. Or else, she might get fatigued easily!

"What? Are you tired already? You haven't got any exercise recently, have you?" Duke reached out to soften her breath. Leena had a weak constitution. She used to be weak and sick when she was a baby. He knew about her condition, so he had spent years training her in proper fitness and nutrition to strengthen her. And as expected, Leena was much healthier than before. He didn't want her to hurt herself again.

"I'm fine. I'm just catching my breath. Probably because the air is too dry in autumn. And yes you are right, I haven't been to the gym for a while. That's another possible reason. I'll get moving soon. So, don't worry about me. You'd better concentrate on Belinda!" With a "ding", the elevator stopped on the floor of her apartment. Leena stepped out before Duke. She took the key out of her small bag and stuck it into the lock. Then she entered the password and opened the door.

"Come on Leena, do you think I'm the kind of man who would submit to a woman easily?" Duke didn't consider himself a stranger and walked inside the house, following Leena. He had been to Leena's apartment once. But at that time, he had been unhappy about Kevin, so he hadn't taken a close look at it. Now he checked it carefully. He hadn't anticipated that Kevin had the apartment warmly decorated as he was a careless soldier. He had looked down upon him in this respect.

"Well. I wasn't sure before. But now I don't think you are. You love Belinda from the bottom of your heart! But you've been hiding your feelings because of your arrogance. It's been so many years, are you still thinking of that woman?"

Leena poured a cup of water for him and stared at him, frowning. She didn't like Rachel very much. But Duke had chosen her before he met Belinda. So she hadn't made any comments on their relationship at that time. She just had refused to talk to her a lot. "Who? You are the only woman in my heart. There's no other." Duke disliked it very much when she mentioned Rachel. Because of Rachel, something unpleasant happened between him and Belinda. Belinda even had postponed their wedding ceremony. He didn't think he had any feelings for Rachel anymore these days. He felt nothing but bored by her.

"That's totally different, okay? I am your sister. Sister and girlfriend are different. So, don't ever try to use me as your shield. It's just not cool," Leena said crossly, rolling her eyes at Duke. So Mr. Cold learned the art of deception from Edward. Birds of the same feather tend to flock together!

"Ok. Take care of yourself. I'm leaving now. Oh, I'll drive your car and ask the driver to send it back to you tomorrow." Duke laughed at himself. Of course he knew that a sister was different from a girlfriend. But he told the truth as well. He had devoted himself to Leena all these years and hadn't had any time to think about other women. Even when he thought of Rachel, it was just a flash at midnight and didn't stay long in his heart.

"Yes! Drive carefully. Don't forget what I said, explain everything to Belinda in detail." Leena didn't plan to keep him home for a long time. She understood Mr. Cold. Though he always made a show of not caring at all for anyone, his heart already belonged to Belinda! He just pretended to be cool in front of her.

"Yeah I get it. Who are you? My secretary? Remember to lock the door." Duke couldn't wait to walk out as soon as he finished talking. He tried to call Belinda but failed. He just got a busy signal. It seemed that Leena was right. Belinda was angry at him. That's why she didn't want to answer his phone.

Duke Leng grew chagrined. He threw the phone in the passenger seat as soon as he entered the car. He started the engine and drove towards Leng House. He started thinking about this. If she wasn't answering her phone, then she'd probably refuse to talk to him, even if he showed up wanting to talk face to face. So it would be a good idea to calm down, and let her do the same. Maybe they'd be calm enough to deal with things if they slept on it.

However, Daisy was a master strategist -- the kind who would figure everything out as soon as disagreements cropped up. So she immediately went back to the bedroom once she finished her work. She sighed, looking at the sleeping man. He really seemed to be angry with her, so he hadn't waited for her to come to bed like in the past.

Daisy walked carefully towards him to avoid making any noise and left a gentle kiss on his forehead. Then she turned around and walked to the bathroom. She had different living habits than Edward. She didn't like to take a shower as soon as she got home. Usually, she would take a warm shower after she finished her work before she went to sleep. That way, she could relax and feel completely relieved after a busy day to sleep soundly.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
