It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 1119

"Next time, don't wait. My wife does, but that is because she likes to eat with me. I can't be sure when I can get out of there, so just eat if you're hungry!" Kevin said that while looking at Leena. He almost smiled, but he stopped himself.

"But we don't know if you will be late! So just call next time. Do you know how annoying it is to wait? There is so much yummy food here, that our tummies are growling while we wait. So stop torturing us and call!" Leena gave Claire a thankful look. This was precisely what she wanted to tell Kevin. But for some reason she wouldn't tell him this directly. So Claire stepped up to the plate and did Leena a favor.

"Okay, I will." Kevin noticed the silent exchange between the two, and apparently it was Leena who wanted to say something. 'Would you still hold back if Claire hadn't said something?' Kevin thought, 'I told you to come to me if you had a problem.' He never thought that he should give Leena a call if he was unable to get home on time. Was he too busy to call? Or did he just not care enough to ask how Leena felt? So did she just sit there, anxiously waiting for him to come home? And why didn't he even think of that?

"Go wash your hands. Dinner is up." Kevin's gaze brought an embarrassed smile to Leena's face. She lowered her head to avoid eye contact.

"Hmm! I can't eat if I don't shower first. I'm all hot and sweaty. Go ahead and dig in. Don't wait up. I'll be done soon." Kevin went upstairs as he talked. He was in such a hurry to get home that he had no time to take a shower in his dorm in the army base.

"Let's eat, Claire. He will be back soon." Leena had already taken her seat. Unlike women, men usually finished their showers quickly. Sometimes, just a couple of minutes were enough for them. Besides, men didn't take as much time to tidy up in front of a mirror before they left the bathroom.

"I really never knew you could cook this well. The food is just out of this world. I thought you were just an ordinary girl, but you've outdone yourself here. Everything smells nicely." Claire took the chopsticks in front of her, and picked up a slice of braised eggplant from the plate. Those delicious dishes were so alluring that she could not resist it any more. Since Kevin gave the okay, she just went ahead and started in. Kevin could hardly blame her if there was nothing left for him.

"Hmm... I took classes. Generally speaking, my cooking is not bad." Leena looked at Claire in surprise. Instead of saying something mean, Claire praised her for the first time. She should mark this day on the calendar.

"That's why. You worked at it, even studied to get it right. No one is born with it." Though she was still arrogant, she seemed more positive and optimistic. It looked like she took Kevin's advice, and decided to be nice to Leena for once.
