It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 1401

"You're the boss," Leena answered, her eyes full of affection. She always looked favorably on Kevin's ideas.

"Well, then let's go have dinner with them?" Kevin asked, looking at her. He always asked for her input. That was how relationships worked best.

"That is great," Mrs. Xu said. "Leena's never been here before, right? There are some friends in this building really want to meet her. We're all military spouses so we definitely have things to talk about." Mrs. Xu held Leena's hand and led them to her house. She was so kind that Leena and Kevin couldn't very well refuse.

"You're too kind, Mrs. Xu," Kevin said with a smile. Mrs. Xu was right; he should have introduced Leena to his co-workers and their wives. Leena might be happier making new friends.

"Please, not so formal. I'd like to have you and Leena over every day." Mrs. Xu laughed. Her child was a junior high school student and was in boarding school, so he was only home on weekends. And her husband was busy at work, so she stayed home, bored and alone.

Battalion Commander Xu's apartment was on the first floor, and the entrance faced the elevator. Mrs. Xu left her door open, so other people could come and join them.

The building was originally quiet, but became louder thanks to Leena's visit. People who got along well with the Xu family came over to have supper with everyone.

"Major General Gu, now I know why you never brought Leena here. She's so pretty and soft, and you just want to hide her away from prying eyes, right?" Battalion Commander Xu asked with a laugh. Battalion Commander Xu was the eldest one there. He was born and raised in a small village, and was promoted to Battalion Commander from a soldier. He was broad-minded and willing to help others. As a result, he was very popular among the officers and soldiers.

"Exactly. He's been married for a long time now, but he never introduced her to us," another officer echoed. But they were wrong. This wasn't the first time Leena had been here. She had been to the army base before, and Kevin had showed her around. But none of the officers realized that.

"Sorry guys, but I've been super-busy. And right after I got married, I got assigned to an external training mission. Of course it slipped my mind then. How about this? We'll have you over for dinner soon," Kevin explained in embarrassment. He really felt sorry for not having introduced Leena to his colleagues, even though it wasn't quite his fault.

"That's better. We'll get you rip-roaring drunk. You won't be allowed to leave until you have more alcohol running through you than blood," Battalion Commander Xu said. Many officers living in the building ate with them, with their wives in tow. They heard that Kevin's wife was from a rich family, and wanted to find out what she was like.

"Come on, guys. Don't be so hard on me." Kevin produced a forced smile, slightly worried now.
