It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 1246

"What? When? Where did she go?" Kevin took the box that the shop assistant handed to him. His face was full of worry, as was his voice. Why did she leave? Well, he guessed he could deal with that later. The most important thing right now was to find Leena.

"She went that way," The shop assistant kindly told him, pointing down the street. She was pretty sure Leena was distraught. That was why she paid more attention to her. She wasn't used to her customers looking that way at all.

"Okay, thanks!" Kevin quickly excused himself and ran out of the shop, heading in the direction the shop assistant indicated. He just hoped that she didn't go too far. As expected, he had to deal with crowds, turning his body this way and that just to get past them. None of them were moving at the same pace he was.

Leena walked the crowded streets with a lost look on her face. Tears fell down her already tear-stained cheeks, but she didn't even realize that she was silently crying. She was like a zombie, walking with her head down, paying no heed to where she was headed. People kept bumping into her, but she didn't give a damn. She just kept walking with hollow eyes.

'She is about my age. Does he think she's prettier?' she thought bitterly to herself. Leena saw Kevin talking to her at first, and she didn't think much of it. She had thought that maybe she was just a friend, someone he hadn't run into for a while. He'd lived here awhile, so he probably had people he knew. But imagine her surprise when the girl suddenly threw herself into Kevin's arms. And what was worse, Kevin didn't push her away, instead, he even held her closer and buried her head in his chest. Leena just couldn't stand looking at them anymore. This was like a dagger in her heart. So she just left without a word. She didn't know where she was going, and she didn't care. She just dragged her numb feet and left the shop.

She had thought that Kevin was a simple and honest man. But it seemed that she was terribly, deeply wrong. He'd been in love with Daisy, then Louisa popped up. Now, there was another girl she didn't recognize, and they were obviously affectionate. How many more girlfriends was he hiding from her? Leena couldn't even think about this without her heart breaking.

'Maybe this is why Kevin doesn't love me.' Leena couldn't help thinking. Maybe Kevin didn't even have a heart. No, maybe his heart was just not hers. He cared about someone else, not poor Leena. He was really cruel, she thought, ruining her life without a word. She'd worked so hard on their marriage, doing everything to please him. Then maybe he'd fall in love with her. But he didn't even care. How could he be so mean, to just throw it all away without considering how she felt? Should she continue trying? Though she knew it would end up with even more heartache?

The wind blew, chilling bones and hearts. But Leena, who really didn't like cold, didn't even feel a thing. Tears just kept streaming down the mask of pain that was her face, and she just couldn't stop them. Her makeup ran, and she didn't care. She knew that everyone gave her odd looks, but she couldn't muster the energy to care.

This was the first time she abdicated her figurative throne, gave up being a princess, waited on hand and foot. She did everything she could for the man she loved. She was wary, careful and cautious. But still, in the end, she had her heart broken. She had thought that as long as she treated Kevin with love and honesty, he'd treat her the same. But she didn't really know him at all. She built up this image of a kind, decent man that wasn't true. She suddenly lost all hope. She didn't know if she could pull through this.
