It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 1373

"Okay. Have a safe drive." Kevin was relieved. On the phone, Leena sounded okay.

"Okay. Be with you in a sec." Leena hung up and put her phone down. Kevin would be worried if he saw her red and swollen eyes, but she didn't have sunglasses in her car. At this thought, she swung by a shop.

Kevin took off his military coat and obediently went into the kitchen to take out the ingredients from the refrigerator. Instead of waiting for Leena till she got back, he began to prepare it himself. Leena shouldn't have to do anything. They could have lunch as soon as she came back.

After Leena parked her car, she looked in the mirror and saw that her eyes were still red and swollen. She sighed. It was impossible to reduce the swelling in such a short time. She had to wear the glasses she just bought. The sunglasses would arouse Kevin's suspicion, so she bought a pair of non-prescription glasses. In this way, she would be able to muddle through. Otherwise she really didn't know how to explain why she wore sunglasses in the house.

At the door, she hesitated for a while, but then decided to go in. Kevin might suspect something if she spent too much time at the door. Besides, she didn't know whether Kevin had to rush back to the army base this afternoon, so she had to prepare lunch quickly. To her surprise, as soon as she opened the door, the smell of delicious food greeted her. She took a few deep breaths, making her feel better momentarily.

She knew she still had to face Kevin no matter whether the tidbit was true or not. Therefore, she didn't intend to waste time. She held back her sadness and walked to the kitchen with a sweet smile.

"Oh my god, Kevin! I told you to just thaw the frozen ingredients. I wasn't expecting this! Everything smells and looks good and really appetizing!" She said as she walked up to Kevin, trying to act natural.

"Yeah. It'll be done in a minute. Are you wearing glasses? Since when did you start wearing glasses?" Kevin looked back at Leena. The glasses didn't fit her well, making her look weird.

"Well, my eyes feel a bit of a sting these days, so I wear glasses to protect them from the light." Leena had thought of the excuse on her way back. She needed it to sound plausible.

"Maybe it's because you always burn the midnight oil, working till morning. I tried to warn you about it many times, but you didn't listen to me." Kevin felt strange, but didn't think much about it. He had no idea that Leena's eyes were swollen from crying. He thought if she really misunderstood him, she would not be this calm and would be throwing the biggest tantrum by now.

"Sort of, but it's okay." She smiled with embarrassment. She kept her head down and didn't dare to look at Kevin. She was afraid that Kevin would see through her little game.

"Thanks, Nana." Kevin seldom thanked Leena. He thought marriage was a two way thing, so both of them should assume their respective responsibilities. But somehow he wanted to say "thank you" to her today. He thanked her for her selfless love, but he did not say it.

"Ha ha! What's up? What do you thank me for out of the blue?" Leena giggled. Kevin gazed at her with seriousness and emotion, and she felt herself blush. She quickly ran out but Kevin didn't stop her. He just shook his head and started to cook the last dish. Time was running short, so he didn't cook too many dishes. He just cooked some simple ones that Leena liked. Obviously, he did this to tell Leena how much he loved her.

There was no escape from reality and from the truth. After lunch, Kevin made some tea and asked Leena to sit next to him. It was time to explain the thing between Dorothy and him. Although she didn't bring it up, she looked very preoccupied. Kevin had to get rid of her hang-up.
