It'll Come Naturally
Chapter 506 The One And Only (Part One)

"I know you well enough to know one thing. You won't stand by and watch someone drooling over the woman you love. You must have warned him, am I right?" A steamroller, that was how Leena saw Edward. So it was easy for Leena to guess what he did.

"You know me too well. I've been taking care of you all this time, and it clearly paid off. Let me think, what can I give you as a reward? You're very clever." Edward laughed. Leena saw right through him. But he was not embarrassed at all by her words. He did whatever he wanted and never cared what people thought.

"Did you forget? I'm a fox, the one and only fox. I know every trick you play," Leena said, making a funny face at him. Edward looked at her and let out a loud laugh. And come to think of it, she had a point there and that was what made her so special. That was what made everyone like her so much.

"Now you know that he loves someone else, how do you feel? Sad and lost?" Edward handed her the drink Luke had brought them and screwed open one bottle himself and drank. Luke was tall, robust and masculine, yet he was way more thoughtful and observant than he looked. He took care of even the little things, like bringing them some cool drinks to drive away the heat.

"Not that bad. I'm not that into him. Maybe I'm a little unhappy but I am sure this feeling will fade soon. I'll be fine. Don't worry."

Leena took a sip of the drink and licked her lips. She tried to look upward at the sky high above but was blinded by the brilliant sunlight.

"I am glad to see you're as upbeat as ever. That's a relief," Edward said with a soft warm smile on his face. Everyone lavished their care and attention on her, yet she wasn't spoiled rotten. He believed that she would replace happiness in the end. After all, God is just, he will always treat everyone fairly.

"What do you expect? I don't feel like I have too many options. Crying and arguing over something that doesn't belong to me? That's not me." Leena breathed slowly and stared at the street full of people. She suddenly realized she hadn't gone out with Kevin even once. This thought gave her a bitter taste.

"You feel better now?" Edward asked, ruffling her soft hair. And he was dazed by the smooth touch when his fingers ran through her hair, for his wife also had long flowing hair.

"Yes! Thank you, Edward. I feel more relaxed after talking with you." Of late she had too much on her mind. It was a relief to have someone to talk to about her thoughts. Love was unfair, and she had to learn to let it go. If she met someone she truly loved, she would make a move as Edward told her. And no matter what the ending was, she wouldn't regret it if she tried her best.

"So, what now? Shall we head back?" Edward frowned a little as the sun blazed overhead and made the air burn hot. He was afraid that she would be feeling down, and tried to console her despite how much he hated the wicked heat and exposure to the sun.

"Well, no more acting?" Leena looked at him with a mischievous grin. All Edward's friends knew that the first thing he would do after he got home was to take a shower, and they also knew how he hated the heat. Leena had wondered from the beginning how long Edward could stand to be exposed in the burning sun. It was much longer than she had expected and his kindness touched her.

"My bad. My acting skill has fallen off a bit. Let's go." Edward laughed, shook his head and pulled Leena to her feet. They walked casually towards the Rolls-Royce that followed them all the time, not knowing Yakira was on the edge of a breakdown.

Yakira had kept dialing Paul's number since she got in her car but her calls went to answering machine or voicemail all the time. This was very unusual and Yakira was getting more and more anxious.

If Paul had come back, the situation would be very tricky. Edward must have sensed something, so he had that woman show up at the Tender Whispers with Grace's necklace. The whole thing was a set-up. And this could explain why Edward had been acting oddly today. Normally he had barely looked at her, but today he was so talkative and asked her so many suspicious questions.

"What happened? You look terrible. You're acting like you're being chased by some ghost." It really irritated Leo that Yakira secretly took the whole five hundred million dowry. And what was more infuriating was that she just refused to admit it.

"Ah... Why are you home? Shouldn't you be at the company?" Leo's sudden voice shocked Yakira so much. She couldn't help staggering back a few steps and her handbag slipped from her fingers and dropped to the floor.

"This is also my home. Do I have to get your permission to be here? Why are you panicking? Have you done something wrong?" Leo asked. His tone was almost sarcastic. He had seldom spoken to Yakira this way. What angered him most was her deception rather than the five hundred million. And now her shifty behavior fueled the suspicion.
