It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 1008

Kevin looked at Leena's back thoughtfully, remaining stock-still for a second before following her. He was confused. He knew that Leena meant to avoid him, even though she said she didn't. Leena walked off so abruptly as if she wanted to run away from him.

"So what about the cake? Have you ordered it?" Claire asked Leena eagerly as she got into the car. When she saw her brother behind Leena, she was surprised to see his strange expression. She thought the two of them were pretty close, but it seemed like they had gotten into a fight. Was something wrong? Was something not okay between them? She couldn't help but feel excited at the possibility. That was exactly what she wanted. It would be good if they got a divorce. Kevin would be single again, available to the daughters of the leading officers. Even though it was hard to get a divorce as a military officer, that didn't mean it was impossible.

"Yes. We will get the cake this afternoon," Leena answered coldly, as if she didn't want to talk to Claire. The truth was that Leena was too distracted with something on her mind.

"Claire, why don't we have our lunch outside? The rest of the family must be busy with the preparations for the gathering. They won't have time to cook," Kevin suggested after getting into the car. He had a solemn air about him, with a hint of the aloofness that belonged to a military officer.

"Maybe we should get home to help them then." In all honesty, Leena wanted to hang out and have fun like she was used to. After all, she was still like a little girl deep down. She changed a lot after marrying Kevin. Kevin's family was very serious about following rules. She couldn't act like her old self and do anything she wanted to do, like she behaved in her own family.

"There is no need for us to help them. We have a lot of servants. Plus, Lee is there too." Kevin didn't have any concerns at all. Even if Lee wasn't there, his father had appointed a guard to look after them.

"Right. Speaking of Lee, it has been a while since I saw him last. Where has he been all this while?" Leena was curious when it came to Lee.

"He went to see his friend yesterday and came back just this morning." Kevin had allowed Lee to visit his old army friend. Lee was a steady fellow and didn't cause any trouble when Kevin was out of town.

"Aha, I see. I worried if he was missing." Leena had a good first impression of Lee. He looked respectable and was a red-blooded soldier. He was a simple country boy.

"He is not like you. He doesn't just disappear out of the blue," Kevin said meaningfully. It was easy to tell that he was referring to the attic incident. He knew that Leena had been hiding herself in the attic last time.

"I didn't do that!" Leena blushed, denying the fact.

"Can you just tell me where you guys want to go first?" Claire asked them exasperatedly, interrupting the conversation. She was bored to see them flirt with each other.

"You are familiar with Capital city, aren't you? It depends on you where we go next. You must know some places that have good food. We want to try out some specialties." It had been years since Kevin last came to the city. He came here for business from time to time but didn't really have the chance to explore it. He didn't know how much the city had developed.

"I see. We can go to gourmet street. I like the place. The snacks here are unique in capital city," Claire said as she started the engine. The luxury car ran so smoothly, no wonder the rich were willing to spend so much on it.
