It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 1327

"Here you are! Ice and Fire, my new concoction. Give it a try!" Hoyle placed a glass of cocktail in front of Kevin. It had two layers of color — blue and red. He was excited to see Kevin, as the military man seldom came to his bar, ever since he had gotten married.

"Tastes good. But I think women will like it more." Kevin took a sip of the drink and looked at Hoyle in confusion. 'Does he think I like ladies' drinks?' Kevin thought.

"I just wanted to know your opinion. If you really think women will love it, bring your wife here soon so we can see her reaction to this Ice and Fire cocktail. What do you think of it?" Hoyle sat on a stool and stared at the dancing girls on the stage while waiting for Kevin's reply.

"She doesn't handle alcohol well, so you'd better give up the thought. Plus, remember what happened the last time she was here?" It was just a suggestion, but Kevin already began to worry about Leena getting drunk. He'd rather steer his wife from any trouble if he could help it.

"Don't worry. I'm here and I won't allow Leena to get drunk. You are way too sensitive and overprotective." Hoyle spun his chair and clinked glasses with Kevin before he swallowed the whiskey in one gulp.

"Whiskey in one gulp? Hey, buddy. What's going on? Are you okay?" Kevin was a little surprised at Hoyle's behavior tonight.

"Nothing. Just drink with me. Let's drink till all's blue." Hoyle gave Kevin a bitter smile. Everyone has those days when they feel dejected or down and Hoyle was no exception.

"Sorry, buddy. I have a lot of work assigned to me tomorrow. I can only drink a little." Kevin was a very reliable and responsible man, and he was very good at disciplining himself. He wouldn't allow anything to affect his work.

"Aww... Come on! It's Friday night! Saturday tomorrow! Who works on a Saturday?" Hoyle asked while filling Kevin's glass. He felt that his friend was just making an excuse.

"Us, military work on Saturdays, that's who. So you can sleep safely at night. I'm not lying. I really have a lot of work to finish. So I can't get drunk tonight." Kevin took out his phone from his pocket and frowned, seeing no message or call from Leena. 'Has she forgotten about me? She said that she would miss me, but she hasn't called me or even sent a message in the last two days. Liar!' Kevin thought.

"Fine! Then I'll drink this all by myself!" Hoyle took another full glass of whiskey. Kevin could tell that something was bothering him and wondered whether it was because of some woman. But since Hoyle didn't want to talk about it, Kevin would not push it.

"Okay! But take it easy, bro! It's still early." When Hoyle was about to drink the third glass, Kevin grabbed his glass and frowned.

"Hey, do you know that woman over there? She has been staring at you since she came in." Hoyle winked at Kevin, signalling him to look at the woman in the corner. Though he had drunk two glasses of whiskey, the alcohol still hadn't kicked in.

"Which woman?" Kevin followed the direction Hoyle was pointing at, and when he saw Louisa, he looked away immediately and said in a cold voice, "No, I don't know her."

"What? Are you kidding me? If you don't know her, why is she staring at you like that? And now, she is walking towards us!" Hoyle said as he elbowed Kevin. He didn't believe that they didn't know each other.
