It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 1193

"Come on, it's warmer inside," Kevin urged gently. Seeing Leena trembling, he really wanted to hold her and warm her up. But since Daisy had an arm around her, it was impossible for him to get between them. So he could only look at Leena worriedly.

Mr. Mu was not used to waiting. As a matter of fact, he loathed it. But this became a thing of the past. Ever since he found Daisy, he waited for her. A lot. He'd gotten used to waiting for her, so he didn't get upset when she walked in. Nor was he surprised.

When Daisy and the other three entered the VIP room, everyone else was already there, including the cute and cool kid, Justin. It had been quite a while since Kevin saw him last. Unsurprisingly, he was a lot taller than before.

"Do you still like me, Uncle Kevin? How come I don't see you anymore?" As soon as Justin saw Kevin, he threw himself into the major general's arms, neglecting his own mother. Little kids were like that sometimes. They'd lived in the same military dorm for years, and Kevin was always available as a playmate. They were still very attached to each other, and absence had only deepened their bond.

Kevin stood back and took a look at the kid, as if he was trying to get a better view of someone quite tall. "Hey kiddo! Ya miss me?" Kevin asked, kneeling beside Justin and gently putting his hand on his shoulder. Justin was only six, but because his parents were both tall, he was much taller than most children his age. Kevin guessed that he must be over 4-and-a-half-feet now. He'd grown a lot in a short period of time. In fact, he might eventually grow up to be taller than Edward.

"Of course, I miss you every day!" answered Justin lovingly, nestling himself in Kevin's arms. Kevin liked the feeling. He'd thought about kids every once in awhile, because these kinds of scenes warmed his heart.

As for Claire, this was not her environment. While she liked parties, she didn't know anyone here. What was more, Rain was here. That man captured her attention and got her heart racing, but he didn't even know she existed. He casually glanced in her direction, then looked away again. Claire felt rather shy and awkward after that.

"Claire, come and sit down. Gerard will be here soon, I need to go out and meet him," Leena said, motioning for Claire to sit next to Belinda. She knew Claire had a crush on Rain, and she saw the poor girl looking very lost and uncomfortable. Maybe if she sat next to someone she'd already met, she'd open up and relax. This was supposed to be fun.

"I'll go with you," Kevin said quickly. He let go of Justin and stood up, ready to accompany her. He saw her shivering earlier, and wanted to make sure she was warm enough.

"No, thanks, I can go myself. I'll just meet him at the gate, in case he can't find our room," Leena refused. She was pretty sure he was a little worried about Gerard or any of the bad element that seemed to thrive at night. She'd be fine. It was just out to the gate and back.

"You should put on my coat then. I saw you shivering out there. I don't want you to get sick," Kevin said after hesitating a bit. He took off his coat and helped Leena put it on, one sleeve and then the next, like a gentleman. Now she looked a bit awkward, with her coat sticking out under his own, but Kevin didn't care. All he cared about was that she was warm.

"Good idea. I won't be long," said Leena, sticking her tongue out naughtily before giving Kevin a sweet smile. She then set out at a brisk pace, without having the slightest idea that the way she acted caused everyone in the place to look at Kevin and Leena and if looks could kill -- oh man!

Kevin knew he was being glared at. He didn't know why, though. There was an awkward silence. He didn't know what he did wrong. Why was every man in the room staring at him all at once? But one thing was sure. He really didn't feel good about it.

"Sit next to me Uncle Kevin, I wanna talk with you!" Justin said suddenly, tugging at Kevin's sleeve. His innocent words came just in time to defuse the awkward situation, so he sat beside Justin as the child wanted. Thankfully, he felt a lot better, and everyone went back to what they were doing.
