It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 1642

The moment she stepped out, she already saw Kevin asleep on the bed. She sighed as she approached the bed and started to carefully dress Kevin up without disturbing his sleep.

When Leena finished dressing Kevin up, her eyes fell on the scars Kevin had on his body. It hurt her to see him like this but, when she saw Kevin asleep blissfully, tears started to fall down her cheeks slowly.

She stretched her hand and caressed his cheek. She always remembered how he said goodbye when he had to leave her for a month to attend to the army. She had missed him dearly as he could not be there during their child's birth. She smiled silently and thought, 'Look at how much you've changed, Kevin. I'm really worried about you.'

People say that women should be strong and independent and live a happy life, even without a man by their side. But, Leena needed Kevin. Even if she had a son to accompany her, she still wanted Kevin by her side.

Leena then went to the dining area and cleared the table. After that, she went back to the bedroom, took Kevin's hand and wrapped his arm around herself. She closed her eyes. 'At least, you're here now. That's all that matters.'

Morning then arrived, the sun illuminating the land, and the birds sang a song to whoever was up and awake. At the dining area, the table was set and filled with food to eat. The first one awake, Shannon hummed in satisfaction, "Looks good! Now, let me check up on Richard."

Shannon climbed up the staircase and went to the bedroom where Leena and Richard would be. Before Shannon could even open the door, she saw the door open and there stood Kevin at the other side.

Kevin's eyes widened as he was surprised. "Mom? Why are you here?"

Shannon was surprised as well. She was a light sleeper so there was supposed to be no way that she hadn't woken up at Kevin's arrival. "When did you come back?" she asked and looked at Kevin from top to bottom. "I didn't know you already returned."

"I just arrived last night. It was late and I didn't want to wake you up," Kevin responded. Shannon saw that Kevin was already in his military uniform and about to head back to the army base. She looked behind him and saw that Leena and Richard were still fast asleep.

Kevin looked back at earlier events. He seemed to have remembered that Leena had tried to wake him up to help her tend to their son but, Kevin had been too exhausted to even respond.

Kevin then passed Shannon, closed the door quietly and started to walk towards the hall. Shannon immediately tailed after Kevin, clearly angry with what was happening. "Where are you going?" She stomped and started to grumble as she waited for Kevin's response. 'He just came back and now he's leaving again!' she thought.

Kevin then responded, "I'm just going to the army base. I'll be back quickly." Shannon stopped at her tracks and looked at Kevin as he proceeded to the hall. When Leena gave birth to Richard, he hadn't been there to accompany her. He felt very guilty and decided to ask his superior for a two-day leave to be with his wife and son.

She exclaimed, "I made breakfast! So make sure you eat first! I'm going to check on Richard!" Nights were difficult for Leena as she had to continuously feed the baby. Shannon saw how difficult it was for Leena before thus, she took initiative to take care of Richard in the morning so Leena could have an adequate amount of rest for later on in the evening.
