It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 1128

"Mignonne, stop trying to persuade me. I need time! Maybe I'll forget you soon, or maybe it'll take me my entire life to get over you. But right now, don't tell me to stop loving you," Gerard voiced out his thought mournfully and tried to keep smiling. He had expected this result before he arrived here but didn't anticipate it would be so decisive.

"Trust me, Gerard, unrequited love is dismal and exhausting. Have you thought about that?" Leena asked, gazing up at him. She knew the acrid taste of unrequited love very well. It was the most miserable memory of her life, so she knew how much it hurt.

"I feel it now. But compared to not loving you at all, I'd rather it be a one-sided affair so that I remain true to my soul." Gerard smiled, shrugging. To many people, he was just a noble French boy born into a rich family. He was used to the party life. But in truth, he only hoped to spend his entire life with someone special.

"As you wish! I can't stop you from doing it, but I hope you can live happily," Leena said faintly. No matter what, Gerard was still her friend. Why would she want him to be unhappy?

"If I hadn't let you go in the first place, do you think you would have been my wife by now?" Gerard asked, holding on to the last shred of hope. There was a saying that went, "The best are always unpossessed." That was true for Gerard too.

"No. Because we aren't suitable for each other," Leena said, taking a sip of her wine. She turned to focus her attention to the door and tried to avoid eye contact with him. As she glanced in that direction, she saw something that shocked her.

She found Kevin and Daisy walking into the hotel hand-in-hand, wearing casual clothes and standing awfully close to each other. Daisy laughed at something Kevin said. Both of them were so good-looking that they attracted a lot of attention. They looked like a real couple.

Unbeknownst to Leena, the army's plan was in action. The criminals were staying at the hotel. Kevin and Daisy had come here to get acquainted with the lot and to make sure everything went well.

They went to sit near some foreign men. The people around them couldn't tell that Kevin and Daisy were alert to the slightest noise. The pair behaved intimately like they were a normal couple. The two of them talked and laughed together, all the while touching each other casually.

Leena, who had begun to tremble in shock, kept her eyes on Kevin and Daisy. She couldn't believe what she was seeing with her very own eyes. She might be able to doubt Kevin's love, but she couldn't doubt Daisy, who loved Edward so deeply.

"Mignonne, what's the matter with you? Why do you look so terrible all of a sudden?" Gerard asked in confusion, looking at her with concern.

"Oh! It's nothing. Enjoy your food!" Leena said as her lips trembled. Her quivering smile looked worse than when she cried. She knew she shouldn't think too much of it, but she couldn't ignore the truth of what she just saw. Luckily for her, she was at a corner seat of the restaurant and couldn't be spotted by the two of them so easily.

Kevin and Daisy sat a little far from Leena and didn't see her. Moreover, they didn't pay much attention to others, keeping their eyes on the targets sitting next to their table.

"There are too many people here for us to take action, so we need to wait till they get into the room," Daisy whispered, getting closer to Kevin. From afar, it looked like they were flirting. Seeing this, Leena all but gasped.
