It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 1140

"So? How do you feel about that?" Kevin got a little nervous when he heard this. He wasn't sure that she wouldn't say that she still had a thing for him, that she was going to run off with Gerard. That would break his heart in two.

"No. I blew him off when I came back from France. I told him the truth -- that I was a happily married woman. And I thought that was the end of it, but he got my address from a teacher and that's where we are now." Leena raised her head and looked at him in the eyes. Sincerity lay behind those eyes, and he would be a fool not to believe her.

"Leena, thanks for telling me. I'd rather hear it from you than find out by accident. And this is what makes me think that I'm important to you. We'll be okay. Because we can be honest with each other." Kevin finally relaxed a little. But the news that Gerard never gave up on Leena was a little disconcerting. It never occurred to him that he'd have a romantic rival, that someone else would be competing with him for Leena's heart. So he'd always felt very safe and calm. Obviously he ignored the fact that Leena was an attractive lady with a good family background.

"It's normal for a couple to be honest with each other, right?" Leena asked. Her head tilted gracefully and one corner of her mouth uplifted. Her smile made her look all the more beautiful. She actually looked fascinating from every angle.

"I don't know what to say to that." Kevin smiled bitterly. Because he failed to be honest with her right from the beginning, and that was why there were so many misunderstandings. All he could do was do better next time.

"Oh? I didn't mean to blame you. It's just what I think," Leena hurriedly explained. She wasn't referring to anything else, and didn't want him to think like that.

"I know, don't worry. But it is my fault. I've been so busy with work and I didn't pay enough attention to you." He remembered he had to leave for work in a few days, and that made him feel extremely down. When he had to take off before, he had nothing to worry about. But now he was already homesick, and he hadn't even left yet. That was the magic power of love.

"Not really. At least you made Claire not hate me so much, didn't you?" Leena felt grateful to him for this. They were a big family and she didn't want anyone in the family to bear grudges against each other. It was hard in the beginning, with her constant insults. It was almost more than Leena could bear.

"That's all you. Claire only promised me she'd try to get along with you, but she didn't say anything about liking you. So if she really opens up to you and starts to like you, that's because of who you are." Kevin never said he did something that someone else did. Really, with Claire, he only pushed a little and hoped she and Leena would get along for real.
