It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 1209

"Don't change the subject. You know why I'm angry, right? All these love bites on my neck! I can't go out in public like this!" said Leena with a flushed face. Her beautiful face was as red as boiled shrimp. She was happy that he loved her that much, but she was shy. She glared at his picture on the table in her fury, but he could not see it over the phone.

"What love bites? I'm confused now. I'm sure I don't know what you're talking about," Kevin replied, pretending to be perplexed. But he knew full well what he did, and he did it on purpose. He left those love marks on her neck to let other men know she was taken, like a dog marking his territory. It seemed that men were also jealous animals in the affairs of love. Kevin might be a great guy, but he was subject to the same passions all men had.

"Kevin, you know what you did. You left them on my neck, and didn't tell me. Quit joking around!" Fully aware of her husband's trickery, Leena protested loudly. He wasn't going to charm his way out of this one. What was she supposed to believe? That he was stricken with amnesia? Unlikely!

"I'm wounded that you think I'd do something like that! It's injustice!" Kevin bit his lips to prevent himself from bursting into laughter while he supervised the training exercise. The soldiers under his command were trying their best to climb the mountain, starting from its base, making their way along the rugged trails winding upward along the abrupt slope. The training was harsh. But that was just the first step to select the most excellent Falcon candidates among all the soldiers. More tests were waiting for them, which were much more cruel and equally as severe. That was why there were several applicants, but few graduates.

"All right. Forget it! You won't cop to it, so there's no use badgering you about it. I'm not in the mood for your crap!" uttered Leena in anger. What a brazen man! And she even made her swear. She was livid, now. Wasn't she clear enough? Did he want her to be completely blunt and accuse him, fully articulating, what he was guilty of? Leena knew precisely what Kevin was waiting for. To hear those sweet blushing words by his wife was the best way to satisfy his male chauvinism. Leena would not take the bait, though. The more Kevin did it, the more she'd challenge him. Let him savor the bitter taste of frustration.

"Wow! Angry, Mrs. Gu? I'm just kidding. Are you feeling that upset by it?" Kevin suddenly burst into a fit of hearty laughter. That immediately caught the attention of some military officers standing not far away from him. Who was he talking to that was making him laugh so loudly? Well, as much as they wanted to know, they weren't stupid enough to ask him about it.
