It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 1121

Leena kept her vigil outside the study. She started to walk in, but paused for a moment. She was unsure if she wanted to do this just now. She walked in, and found Kevin at the computer, fingers pounding away at the keyboard, staring intently at the screen. It was obvious he was working again.

"Kevin," she began. When he straightened up and turned his gaze to her. "About this afternoon...I need to explain," she said in a small voice. Leena walked slowly over to the desk and paused near Kevin, her head lowered. She was nervous and afraid of how Kevin might react, so she didn't dare raise her head and look at him.

"Okay. Go ahead. I'm listening." Kevin set some papers down on the desk, and then leaned back in the chair. He stared at Leena's pretty face with an intrigued glint in his eyes. He was very curious what she was going to say. She had his undivided attention.

"Well, I'm sorry that I didn't tell my friend that I'm married. But it's not because that I'm ashamed of you, not at all! It's just that our marriage was kind of sudden, and I don't want my friend to worry about me. I was waiting for the right time, and it never came. So I didn't say a word to her. I am really sorry that I ignored your feelings and kept you a secret. Besides, how was I supposed to know she'd fix me up with some guy? She said the blind date was for her!" Leena explained all this timidly, in a small voice like a kid who was caught stealing a cookie from the cookie jar. She knew she was wrong for hiding the marriage, and worried about what Kevin might do.

"Nana, come here." Kevin put out a hand and reached for her, beckoning her to come forward. Yes, he was angry when he found out that Leena's friend didn't know about him. But he was mad only for a moment. Once he calmed down, how could he ever really blame her? Her explanation made perfect sense, and how was she to know her friend was setting her up? So now, after hearing her explanation and seeing her sad face, he could not help but feel sorry for her. After all, she'd been through a lot.

"What?" Leena slowly walked forward to stand in front of him. But before she could stand still, Kevin pulled her forward all of a sudden into his arms. She looked up in surprise and stared right into his gorgeous eyes. The man was irresistible. The feel of his arms, his scent, his warmth. But still her insecurities kept bubbling up. What was he going to do?

"Have you been worried about this the whole time?" Kevin put his arm around her slim waist and stared intensely at her, looking for every subtle hint of how she felt. He saw a mix of emotions, a confused jumble. He wasn't sure what to make of it.

"Yeah, I have. But only because I didn't know how mad you'd get. About what I did, about how I didn't tell my friend I was married, all of it." Leena looked away and avoided his intense eyes. She lowered her eyes and didn't notice the smirk on his face. For her, his enticing eyes were too gorgeous to resist. And she didn't want to struggle with her desire for him. She had to stay strong, open her heart to him.
