It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 1061

Kevin kept running against the rain with his head down. He didn't even notice Leena approaching and had no idea that she was crying for him.

Kevin's father was very strict with him. He had set high expectations for him. Kevin had always been in a loop of having to drive himself harder and excel. It seemed to Kevin that they never really bonded as father and son. The way they got along with each other was more like him as the subordinate and his dad as his superior.

Leena didn't get too close as she was afraid that he would see her tears. She was peering through the rain from a distance. The running figure made her lost in her thoughts. She had never been through any physical punishment like this. She grew up being loved, pampered, and indulged by the people around her.

Kevin had a chance to raise his head and saw Leena standing there watching. A sudden warmth ran through him. He felt as if something held his heart tenderly. He had a soft side despite being a tough soldier. This kind of silent company reminded him of the friendship he had with brothers in the army.

"Nana, what are you doing here? It is raining, be careful not to get wet." Kevin ran quickly up to Lenna, his clothes dripping. His white shirt was soaked and clung tightly to his body, showcasing his muscled torso.

Leena froze and wasn't able to digest everything he said. She was utterly shocked. It was the first time that he called her Nana, a nickname which sounded a little too intimate.

"What is wrong? Are you cold?" Kevin worriedly reached out to check her body temperature. However, he realized how wet he was and his hand stopped mid-air.

"I'm fine. How much longer do you have to run?" Leena tipped the umbrella over him in an attempt to protect him from the rain. It was then that she noticed that his lips were blue and trembling. That was it! Her eyes went back to welling up again.

"Until I can't run anymore. You should go back inside." Kevin wiped the rain from his face. He pushed the umbrella back to her. He was drenched already and he didn't want her to get wet as well.

"But it seems like you can't run anymore. Can you stop? Let's get back together., shall we?" The tears that were streaming down Leena's face made her look like a fragile child.

"Hey. What's with the tears? Look at me, I am fine. I really am. Don't cry, you silly girl." Kevin tried to wipe her tears but her tears seemed to come in a torrent. His cold fingertips brushed against her cheeks and touched her hot tears.

"I am sorry. It's all my fault. You wouldn't have to do this if it weren't for me." Leena sniffed. He was punished because she ran away. She was so drowned by guilt and worry that it was hard to breathe.

"It's not your fault. I am punished because I talked back to Dad. Don't overthink it. Now go back. I will be back soon." Kevin frowned. He didn't feel cold while he was running. Now he had stopped for a while and the chill of the rain began to work through.

"But you talked back to him because of me." She pursed her lips. She wouldn't have run away on impulse if she had thought about the consequence.

"It's not like that. How about you go back and make some hot soup for me? I will need some to get warmed when I am back." Kevin had to say that. It was clear that Leena was reluctant to leave, thus, he gave her a task. This might be the only way to make her change her mind.

"Oh, How come I didn't think of that? I will go back and get the soup ready. Just come back quickly, okay? Dad won't know if you slack off a little." Leena was action-oriented. Once she decided to do something, she would not delay. Soon she turned and headed back to the house.
