It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 1129

"Mignonne, have I told you you've changed a lot? If you were this wise back when we were together, I'm sure I would have never broken up with you." Every time Gerard brought this up, he felt intense regret. As a proud man, he knew better than to entangle himself in pursuing Leena again. He came to S City to find an answer for his restless heart and just as he had guessed, the situation between them was irreparable. He only hoped he could spend time with Leena as a friend over the next few days. It would serve as a remedy for his broken heart.

"So, you regret it now? I am grateful that you let me go. Because of it, I found the person with whom I want to spend the rest of my life." She told herself not to look at Kevin and Daisy umpteen times, but couldn't help herself. This time when her eyes wandered back to their seat, they were gone. She stood up in alarm, her eyes abruptly searching for them.

"What are you looking at? Are you searching for someone?" Gerard asked, standing up in confusion as well. He noticed that she kept looking in one direction, but he found nothing unusual when he followed her gaze. Previously, he had seen a passionate couple occupying a table there, but such intimacy was common in the western world. Leena herself should know, as she had lived in France for a long time. How was she still bothered by it?

"Nope. Let's sit. I saw something but it must have been my imagination. It's probably because I feel a little dizzy," Leena said, patting her hair nervously. That must be it. In any case, Kevin and Daisy were not supposed to be so snug and intimate.

In actuality, the criminals had left, so Kevin and Daisy followed them. That was the reason why Leena couldn't spot them anymore.

Still keeping up the ruse of being a couple, Kevin and Daisy stalked the criminals from a distance and made sure they weren't discovered. They took the elevator and got to the floor where the criminals stayed. Straightaway, the culprits caught sight of them and raised their guns. Kevin and Daisy found themselves in a sudden encounter. Fortunately, they had prepared in advance for such a scenario. The innocents staying on the same floor had been relocated to a safer place earlier. At least Kevin and Daisy didn't have to worry about hurting them.

"Who the hell are you? Cops or agents?" One of the criminals asked with an authentic English accent. None of them had the guts to shoot as the noise would attract more attention. Their smuggled goods were still in the room.

"Neither," Kevin responded as he pushed back one of the culprits. He didn't hesitate before punching him in the jaw. Kevin had the strength and wits of a true soldier.

"Shit! Who ARE you guys?!" The man asked, wiping the blood from his mouth. He couldn't believe he hadn't seen the fist coming. How did he not have the upper hand here?

"I'll answer that question after we take you all down," Kevin said with confidence. He held his head high like the proud Major General he was.

"Huh! Even the trash from ICPO could do nothing to us. And you think you two can bring us down? What a joke!" In the narrow hallway, the two sides came to blows, fighting fiercely for life and death.

Meanwhile, Leena went upstairs with Gerard. They reached the stairway where the fight was happening. Caught unawares, Leena was hit and seized by a man.

"Who are you? Get your hands off her! Take me instead!" Gerard shouted in panic. The gunman held his weapon to Leena's head. Gerard dared not step forward in case the criminal pulled the trigger in desperation.

"Back off! Or I'll shoot her," The criminal shouted, seemingly nervous. His eyes flitted from side to side and flashed with ferocity.

Leena went blank for several moments. She was so terrified that she couldn't think. Never in her life had she expected to be the victim in such an encounter.
