It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 1248

"I think the word you're searching for is 'asshole.' A real asshole would never ask for your permission before taking off your clothes, but I did." Kevin gave Leena an evil smile. Though he was still angry at her, her accusation amused him. He decided to play with it. Maybe he could put them both in a better mood.

"But you didn't wait for my answer! Liar!" Leena was incensed by Kevin's sophistry. He did ask her before taking off her coat, but she didn't say yes. To be fair, she didn't say no, either. But that still didn't give him the right. Oooh! The man was so infuriating sometimes!

"I'm a soldier. Time is important to me, and even a one second delay would put your life in danger. I don't hesitate, I act." While speaking, Kevin took off her sweater as well. He was serious about this. She might end up naked if she didn't do something.

"Stop it! I'll do it myself. Get out!" Leena demanded and rearranged her underwear. He practically took that off.

At this moment, Kevin's phone rang. He took a meaningful look at her before he whipped out his phone. He frowned when he saw the number — it was from the army base.

"I need to take this. Have a nice bath!" He didn't bother telling Leena who was calling. Instead, Kevin warned her and walked out of the bathroom. The subtext behind "have a nice bath" was clear. The real message was "take a bath, now." The moment he stepped out, Leena shut and locked the door, which stunned him. He recognized that sound anywhere. So he walked out towards the balcony, sighing in resignation, and pressed the "answer" button.

"Hello, this is Kevin Gu." Leaning forward with his hand pressing down on the rail, Kevin wondered why they were calling.

"Major General Gu, we have a big problem. I don't know why, but some of our recruits have been beaten up by several seniors." The caller's voice was thick with anxiety. Obviously, he was frightened by what was going on.

"What? Are they in the hospital now? Are they okay?" When he heard that, Kevin returned to his bedroom, opened the closet and took out his military coat. This was a really serious problem, and he had to head back to the army base now. But when he was just walking out the door, he remembered something and walked back to the bathroom. He pressed the "mute" button, and said to Leena, "Babe, I have to leave now." Before she could respond, Kevin left without saying more.

Leena didn't fall asleep until the morning light. Possibly because of Kevin, but possibly because her mentor Bella was in the city. Leena arrived at Kate Hotel at noon, despite her bad cold. Kate Hotel, owned by FX International Group, was also one of Edward's properties. Leena wanted to buy Bella the first meal in the city to play the hostess. But despite this, she grew more and more worried about Kevin as he still had no news for her.

"Mignonne, are you okay? You look terrible, and you seem so upset. What happened?" Gerard asked worriedly. Since he'd poured out all his feelings for her, he was calmer and more composed. He didn't feel lonely as expected, and that was because of Claire's companionship. She was the one bright spot in his life.

"Uh, I'm good. I just caught a cold." Leena gave him a bitter smile. Gerard was Bella's good friend, and that was why he was here as well. At least he finally accepted the fact they would never be together.

"Have you taken anything for it? Are you sure you're able to attend the competition tonight?" Bella asked. The reason Bella had agreed to take part in the competition as a judge was because of Leena, her favorite student. Bella wanted to raise Leena's reputation. To be honest, Bella had never treated her any other student like this before, but Leena was the special one. Leena was a gifted designer, and Bella's gut feeling told her that they would create new spectacles together. This was a special mentor-mentee relationship, and had forged bonds that would never break.
