It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 1224

"She is Leena, my wife. I brought her here so you can meet her. We weren't able to inform you when we got married since we were in a hurry." Kevin shot Leena a warm gaze and smiled. He knew that Leena was not like other wealthy ladies. Thus, he was sure that Leena would not hate this place. That was why he brought her along.

"Hello, Mamie. Nice to meet you." Leena greeted the old lady with delight. Her curiosity about Kevin's relationship with the old woman was eating her but she didn't ask. She was sure that Kevin would tell her everything anyway since he brought her here.

"Nice to meet you, Leena! How beautiful you are!" Mamie took Leena's hand kindly and looked at her lovingly.

"Thank you for your compliment." In reaction, Leena said in a shy tone and bowed her head.

"Let's go in first." It was Kevin who broke the exchange of pleasantries between Mamie and his wife. He couldn't be happier that Mamie seemed to like Leena almost instantly.

"Oh! Right! I'm so happy that I forgot to let you in. Why do you bring so many presents every time you come?" Mamie grumbled at Kevin and took over what he had in his hand for fear that he would be too tired.

"It's not easy for me to see you, so I must bring what you need." Kevin knew that she didn't usually go downtown and couldn't afford to buy expensive things. Thus, he bought what she needed every time he went to see her. He felt better seeing her okay.

"Alas! I actually don't need so much stuff since I live alone. I haven't used up what you bought me last year. There would have been more left of it if I didn't give some to my neighbors. Don't buy me anything next time. It is tiring to bring so much stuff," scolded Mamie as she feigned anger. However, it was impossible to hide how much she loved Kevin with the way she looked at the guy.

"It's okay. As long as you are happy, I am not tired," Kevin replied brightly. He was still smiling when he gazed around the shabby room. His smile melted in an instant when his sight landed on old furniture. He felt sad with the thought that Mamie lived with these things. He had proposed to replace the furniture there every time he visited, but Mamie declined. Her explanation was that the pieces of furniture there were her memories and she had grown to love them.

"You silly boy! How can you not be tired? Go and show Leena around. I'll cook for you." Mamie had the frankness and simplicity of rural women. It wasn't even difficult to see how warm-hearted she was with just the way she talked.

"Mamie, let me help you!" came Leena's voice as soon as she heard about cooking. Adorable as she was, she wanted to help.
