It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 1424

"I actually want you to be my mistress. Then you wouldn't need to do anything but wait around for me, doing nothing but keeping yourself pretty," Kevin blurted out. He was so annoyed that he didn't know what he was talking about.

"Hah! I would like to see that! Don't forget that you're a major general. If you had a mistress, you'd be turned over to the military court." Leena challenged, finding it funny to see a man like Kevin get irritated.

"I'm willing to risk everything for you." Kevin rolled up his sleeves and began to wash vegetables.

"Well, it sounds like I'm a seductive but dangerous woman. I have actually heard that before. I just don't remember who said it!" Leena affectionately ran her hands on Kevin's back. She knew that Kevin wouldn't let her cook tonight, so she just helped him.

"Well, you might be such a woman. But maybe in ancient times." Kevin was dying to ask her about the tonics, but this wasn't the best time. No matter how anxious he was, he had to take his time and wait for the right moment.

"Ha ha. Then that would make you a kinsman of the emperor." Leena was getting good at jokes now. The Gu family had held high official positions in the army for generations. They had been influential in the capital city as a notable family.

"So you're just a siren." Kevin was no longer angry. He liked this intimate time, cooking with the woman he loved dearly.

The two teased each other. Leena preferred such a warm scene to cooking alone. Her heart danced with happiness.

After dinner, Kevin led Leena to sit on the couch. This time he had a straight face which made her nervous.

"What's wrong? You're being too serious now." Leena was curious and wondered what had suddenly happened to her husband tonight. Was there something in the food they ate? She seemed fine.

"Nana, I'm your husband, right?" Kevin put his hands on hers and turned her around to face him, his eyes fixed on her. Leena could no longer escape this time.

"Of course. Why?" Leena's heartbeat pounded in her ears. She felt something was about to happen.

"But you're hiding something from me. We have come to an agreement that we won't keep any secrets from each other, but you are not being completely honest with me," Kevin said with a frown. He looked dejected.
