It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 1370

"Ah, it's you, Miss Lu. Why are you here?" Kevin asked with a frown as he checked the time on his wristwatch.

"Here's the thing. I'm wondering if I could have the honor of inviting you for dinner since you saved me last time. It was very kind of you to help me." Dorothy was a popular celebrity. She was both pretty and smart.

"Thank you for your kindness, Miss Lu. Serving the people is a soldier's pledged duty. Dinner is not necessary." Kevin turned her offer down without hesitation. He didn't save her in exchange for anything. Furthermore, he didn't want to have dinner with a woman alone.

"Major General Gu, are you looking down on me because I'm an actress? Do you think I don't deserve to have dinner with you?" Dorothy's voice trembled a bit as she pretended to feel sad and dejected.

"Miss Lu, I didn't mean it that way. I just can't make it this time." Embarrassment washed over Kevin in an instant. He would have rejected her offer in a more resolute way if Dorothy acted bossy. However, she looked like she was about to cry and Kevin really had no idea on how to politely decline her offer. He simply didn't know women.

"If you really have no time, then I won't push you. How about this? Will you please give me your private number? We may have dinner next time when you're available," asked Dorothy. She might be a little disappointed, but then, she was clever to know when enough was enough.

"I'm sorry, but we soldiers are not allowed to disclose our numbers." Kevin rejected Dorothy in a more subtle way this time. He didn't want to have a close relationship with any woman other than his wife. Though he didn't think Dorothy bore malice against him, he was always alert to the possibility of getting involved in scandals. He was a soldier and he must be a model of clean living.

"Oh, really?" Biting her lower lip, Dorothy felt embarrassed. Kevin had refused her repeatedly and it made her feel awkward. She could sense that he was making excuses to turn her down.

"Sorry. How about this? I'll treat you dinner if there's a chance." Kevin gave her a bland smile. He looked so gentle that time, thus, Dorothy couldn't help but fall for him.

"That would be embarrassing. You saved me and I should be the one to buy you dinner," said Dorothy. She then flashed a charming smile as she felt much better after hearing his words.

"It's okay. I'm a man, so I should be the one to pay for the bill. I have some work to finish. Miss Lu, I gotta go now." Kevin checked his watch again. He was already late and he couldn't believe that he was still detained by Dorothy. He was really anxious.
