It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 1402

"See? I'm not bothering her at all!" the woman challenged Mrs. Xu, holding her gaze. She didn't want to hurt Leena, but she was making her uncomfortable.

The women here were all military spouses, but Leena was the only one from a rich family. Moreover, her husband was capable and handsome. Some were overcome with jealousy, and really did want to bring her down. Leena had no choice but to handle them with grace.

After supper, Kevin and Leena bid them goodbye and left the building. Kevin had some wine, so he didn't drive, but instead sat in the passenger seat of Leena's car.

"You were great tonight! Everyone likes you!" Kevin teased her with a laugh. He was going to butt in and save her from the embarrassment when she had to field countless questions, but then he decided to let her deal with them by herself. After all, he couldn't always hide her, and she had to meet them one day. His decision was correct; Leena had been very reserved at the beginning, but she relaxed and was bantering with them later.

"Well, I am such an adorable girl, and everyone loves me," said Leena who made a face and stuck her tongue out. Then she laughed out loud.

"Tonight was your warmup. They get worse as time goes on, believe me." Kevin lived in the building for several years, and knew them well. Not everyone was as kindhearted as Leena. Daisy had also lived there for years, and had been the talk of the building. She had been a single mom at that time, and hot as well. But Daisy couldn't care less what they thought. Let them talk, she figured. It had nothing to do with her.

"I know, but I think I can handle them. After all, I'm clever," Leena said proudly. She believed she could get on well with anyone as long as she was willing to. She had even won Claire over, and Claire had hated her at first.

"Well, now you're an official member of the military spouses' club. Congratulations!" Kevin cracked a joke with Leena. Though she wasn't perfect, she managed to catch everyone's eye. She was so dazzling that no one could ignore her.

"Ha! So I can come here whenever I want?" Leena asked, staring at Kevin. It was not a bad idea for her to drop by when she was available.

"I never said you couldn't!" Kevin said in confusion. He didn't understand why Leena thought that he'd be unhappy if she came by.

"I didn't want to be in the way," Leena explained in a soft voice. Kevin had never said no to a visit from her, but she was worried that she might be bothering him by doing that.

"I'll be working while you're visiting. We might not even bump into each other. Don't worry. You won't be bothering me," Kevin assured Leena in a soft voice. He felt really sorry for her. Really, Leena deserved a better man. But it angered him to think of another man holding and kissing Leena. He shut down the thought instantly.

"All right. I'll come over when I'm free. But you didn't take me here before," Leena said, casting an accusing glance. If she hadn't insisted on staying here, she wouldn't have gotten to know so many military wives, much less make friends with some of them.
