It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 1341

"Tomorrow? That is too soon! We didn't even have much time to talk or hang out with each other," Gerard said in a rather sad tone. His golden hair shone brightly under the beaming sun. He had thought that Leena would stay longer. But he completely understood. Leena had been here for a long time. Of course, she would want to go home to her husband as soon as possible.

"We can still do that next time. This isn't my last time here. I will surely come back to Paris, I promise." Leena was playing with the cup in her hands. Her sweet smile never left her face. She looked at the Seine, admiring the scenery.

"Excellent! I was a bit worried that you would never come back." Gerard's eyes were as intense as they were before, but Leena could tell from the look in his eyes that he really only considered her as a good friend now.

"That's silly! Of course I will come back. Claire is still here, you know. I have more reasons to come back now, other than for work. Oh by the way, on that note, could you do me a favor and look after her for me, please? Nothing too serious. Just check on her once in a while. This place is completely new to her and she still needs to make a lot of adjustments. If you could show her around or something, that'd be great! I am still a little worried about her well-being," said Leena, who was being the good sister-in-law that she was. Even when she and Claire didn't get along before, she had thought about her a lot. Since they had become friends, she worried even more, now that Claire was living alone in a foreign country.

"Of course! Don't worry. I won't let anything happen to her. She is my friend too." Gerard's smile was beaming. He and Claire had also become good friends. In fact, he even considered Claire the only friend who really understood him. So of course he would look after her, even if Leena did not ask.

Leena let out a sigh of relief as she heard Gerard's words. Though she knew that Claire was more mature than she was before, as her sister-in-law, she couldn't help but still worry about her. But now that Gerard would be around to keep an extra pair of eyes on her once in a while, she felt better.

Sometimes, Leena felt quite surreal when she thought about how her relationship with Gerard had changed in such a short time. They were never meant for each other, at least not as lovers. Now they had become very good friends, and this made Leena happy. Though they couldn't see each other as often as they wanted to, because of the distance, they both knew that this friendship would not easily fade away.
