It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 1034

"Okay! Thanks, Edward." Only around her big brothers could Leena feel like herself. She could smile more easily, and they were always good to her. Around them, she beamed with happiness, and her world was full of joy. Even the cloudy sky looked bright and sunny to her.

"Ha!. Why are you so polite all of a sudden? That's not like you. You're trying to hide something from me, right? So what is it?" Edward was smart and sensible. He could detect every subtle change in her tone. It was not for nothing that he was known as a savvy businessman.

"You're overreacting. I just wanted to thank you. What's wrong with that? It's no big deal." Though it came out of nowhere, Leena was suddenly overcome with gratitude. Expressing one's gratitude was certainly easier than apologizing. Why should she hold back when others were nice to her? She decided to go for broke and pour out her heart to him.

"Okay, you're off the hook for now. But still, you're acting weird. It's been a long time since you thanked me for anything. Really, I don't remember you ever doing that," Edward quipped with a smile. He looked as attractive as ever when he smiled. Edward Mu was famous for his cool, collected manner and his self-control. He was completely unflappable, and liked to show off that side of him.

"Don't tease me, Edward. You want me to apologize for being a little snot? Fine. But not now. I'm driving. Don't distract me." Leena pretended to sound angry, so Edward wouldn't know what was really going on.

"Yeah, I guess. But drive slower, okay? I'll text you the address." Edward smirked inwardly. He had always treated Leena like his own sister. No matter what, he still had that habit, and would never stop spoiling her.

"I will! See you later, Edward!" Leena said gently before ending the call. Her face was still pale, but she felt better after hearing Edward's voice.

On the other side, Edward texted the address to her. However, he just couldn't shake away the feeling that something bad was going on. He knew Leena too well, he could tell she was not happy at all. Things weren't so simply. She was holding something back.

Leena pulled over, stopped the car, and took a deep breath to calm her nerves. Silence reigned over the small space as she waited for the text to come in. The conversation soothed and drained her, all at the same time. She usually enjoyed talking to Edward; he was pretty easy to talk to and sometimes had good advice. He was a great guy, at least to her. So she had to really pull it out of her hat, and steel her nerves to fool him. He wasn't dumb at all, and he hadn't gotten where he was by being gullible.
