It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 1289

"I do now, angel." He kissed her forehead. "But I think that's enough for now. Know where I'd really like to go? The sea." Suddenly, Kevin sat up. It was a sunny day today and it was already late in the morning. It would take a bit to get ready, and get out there. People usually slept later in the winter. They got a taste of how bears lived, and why they hibernated.

"The sea? In the middle of winter?" Leena frowned. Why did he want to see the sea all of a sudden? But she didn't say no. And when they finally stepped onto the deck of the warship, she was astonished by the breadth of the sky and the sea. This was all you could see as you looked off in the distance. The majesty was humbling.

"Are you cold?" Kevin asked, tightening her coat. He was worried that she might feel cold because of the sea wind. He knew she got cold easier than he did.

"No, I'm not. So is this the navy? What's the difference between the navy and the army?" Leena wore a warm coat, so she did not feel cold at all. It was lined with faux fur, because she was an animal lover, but it was warm nonetheless. Fleece-lined, and very fashionable.

"Simple. We fight on land, they fight on the sea." The harmony of sea and sky made a beautiful picturesque view. The ship cut through the water, leaving white rapids in its wake. Waves rose wherever the warship passed.

"Hey, Kevin! Got your sea legs yet?" A young major came and greeted them respectfully.

"Hey, Morris, you old sea dog! How have you been?" Kevin looked at his friend's flushed face and said in an admiring tone. He knew Morris was doing quite well.

"You got the best deal! Cute wife, and you're a major general now! Congrats!" Morris Cheng and Kevin were quite close once. They trained together as new recruits. But eventually the service decided Morris was better suited for the navy, and pulled him for special training. Kevin went into the army.

"All it takes is a little hard work. Besides, you're headed for family life too, I think. They told me you have a girl you've been dating for years. Now you just need to find a good time to propose and marry her." Kevin clapped Morris Cheng's shoulder in a brotherly way and comforted him man-to-man.

"Not me! We broke up a long time ago. Hard to find a gal who will marry a soldier, particularly one going at sea for months at a time." He bowed to Leena. "No offense, Mrs. Gu. You're the exception. By the way, you look really familiar. Have we met?" Morris Cheng looked at Leena in confusion. It was a gut feeling. He knew he'd seen this woman before.

"Don't, please. We don't run in the same circles," Kevin said hastily. He didn't mean it like it sounded, but his jealousy got the best of him. Kevin smiled. He held Leena in his arms again possessively. Just like Edward, he was easily given over to jealousy when it came to his wife.

"Hey! Now I remember! I saw you on TV a few days ago. It was just for a few minutes, but you really made an impression on me. I can't forget a face like yours." Morris Cheng did a double-take. He started talking, but couldn't remember why she was on TV. He was flipping channels and stopped when he saw her on the screen. Was she a movie star or something?
