It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 1114

"You are Patricia's friend. I should at least stay for a while for her sake." A sweet smile spread across Leena's face. At the moment, she looked like an innocent angel. However, she cursed Patricia a thousand times in her heart. Patricia had told her that she had been forced by her family to go on a date. She had begged Leena to accompany her. Now it seemed that everything Patricia said was to fool her into coming here alone. She took advantage of Leena's kind heart. What was more, Leena knew Patricia was a sly one. She had told herself that she wouldn't get caught in Patricia's trap. How wrong Leena was! Now she sat there, fuming and pretending nonchalance.

"At least? You wound me! I must really have a bad reputation if you are so harsh on me." Summer Xia forced a wry smile and laughed at himself. This woman was sharp with her words. She didn't call him names, but what she said frustrated him very much.

"Summer Xia, right? In this cold winter, I am literally feeling the warmth of summer... not because of you, but because of the idiotic way you act. Stop behaving so foolishly. You make me want to laugh! You know what, Summer? You act so childishly and I could not be more familiar with it. I've been bored with these antics since middle school. It is so out of date. Please! If you want to impress me, you'll have to try another way." The smile on Leena's face still looked beautiful and pure, but her words revealed that she wasn't so easy to please.

"Well, maybe I can't keep up with the trend these days. Come on, don't be so harsh on me! Don't dismiss me so easily." Summer's eyes widened. Leena's harangue surprised him and he stared at her, puzzled. Didn't Patricia describe her as gentle and sweet? From where he sat, he did not feel that way at all! Leena was more of a cunning girl, who did not allow herself to be in a situation she didn't want to be in.

"I'm sorry. I'm just not used to a cunning man behaving as if he is truly innocent and wet behind the ears," Leena said sardonically, pursing her lips. He should probably ask Edward - who was a real expert in this respect - for tips. Edward certainly had rich experience and Summer would be a good student under him.

"Hah! That's funny. Can I call you Leena?" Summer never expected Leena to be so potty-mouthed. She disregarded his feelings and spoke without any charity towards him. She unmasked him right away, leaving him at a loss. Summer did not know how to respond to her and changed the topic of conversation.

"I'm sorry, but I don't think we know each other well enough to be on a first-name basis. Call me Miss Leng, please!" Leena was well-aware that she was a married woman, so she replied to Summer in a polite and distant manner. She refused his proposal and kept her restraint in check.

"Well, fine. But we've gotten to know each other today and I'm sure we will get more familiar later on." Summer shrugged and smiled indifferently. He had foreseen her refusal so he was not too disappointed.

"Summer Xia, I want to make sure. Do you merely want to get to know me or do you want to date me? Or is it that you are one of those wile men, who only want to have a one night stand with a woman?" Leena sneered lightly. Judging from Summer's appearance, she did not believe that Summer was single and didn't have a girlfriend. He was interested in Leena only because Patricia told him something about her that aroused a need for conquest in him. Leena knew such men very well, who believed in showing off their power by the notches on their bedposts. Unfortunately, he had mistaken Leena for the wrong woman. She was not an innocent girl who would easily fall into his trap, nor was she interested. She had many excellent men around her. More importantly, somebody already resided in her heart, and both her heart and soul belonged to that person.

"I want to make sure too. Are you always so straightforward with everyone, Miss Leng?" Summer was not an expert at being artful. Leena's direct responses made him feel a bit awkward. He admitted that he wanted to get to know her because of her beauty, but he was no playboy.

"Oh, not necessarily. It depends on the subject at hand, not the people I am talking to. Please don't mind if you feel offended," Leena replied, her teeth gritting. If Patricia was here, Leena would set her straight. How could she fool her into a date with this childish man?
