It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 1723

When Leena got to the army base, it was still early. She had thought of going to the military compound to visit the wives of the soldiers, but she finally decided against it. She was worried that she might stay too long and get delayed.

Every time she came to the army base, she could not help but respect the soldiers who sacrificed themselves for the country. She was very proud to meet them and get to know them. She was also proud that she, herself was also the wife of a soldier and thus felt some sort of affinity to them. That was why every time she came, she looked at everything and everyone with admiration.

But she didn't expect to immediately see Daisy. She ran into her even before she got to see her own husband.

"Leena, what are you doing here?" Daisy called out as she spotted Leena. Asking Mark to stop the car, Daisy got out with a pleasantly surprised look on her face. She wasn't expecting to see Leena here at the army base.

"Hello, Daisy. Are you off work?" Leena couldn't help but feel a bit embarrassed seeing Daisy. A faint but noticeable blush quickly appeared on her cheeks. Her ears also turned slightly red. She thought she could come and find Kevin without anyone knowing. But to her surprise, Daisy saw her from the car. A beautiful girl like her would be visible even from afar.

"Yeah. Why are you here? Are you here to pick Kevin up? It seems like you can't wait for him to come home, huh!" Daisy teased Leena with an elbow nudge and a playful smirk on her face. She could tell from Leena's sudden rosy cheeks that she was here to see Kevin, and that she must miss her husband that bad. That could be the only reason that she came here today. Leena just couldn't wait still at home for Kevin to get off work. She wanted to see him so badly that she decided to come to the army base to pick him up herself. This way, she could see him sooner.

"No! Of course not. I was just bored and had nothing else to do. Also, I am just out for a stroll. Nothing more." Daisy had seen through her but Leena still tried to explain defensively, the faint glow on her face becoming redder and more prominent. Daisy had hit the nail in the head and guessed it right, but there was no way that Leena would want to admit it in front of her. She was either too embarrassed or too proud to admit out loud, that she missed Kevin too much.

"A stroll? At the army base? Ha ha. It is quite a far stroll, it seems." Daisy wasn't planning to let this slide easily and kept teasing her with a knowing smile. She was having a fun time seeing Leena like this, all flustered and almost speechless being caught red handed.

"Um, you know me, I just have a poor sense of direction. That's why I ended up here." As soon as she finished these words, Leena regretted ever saying them. She was being more and more ridiculous. Why couldn't she just bite the bullet and admit to Daisy that she was here for Kevin? Now, Daisy probably thought that she was being silly.

"Well, yeah. Your poor sense of direction took you to the place you wanted to go to the most. Right!" Daisy couldn't help but feel amused at Leena's poor explanation. Here she was, having fun, teasing her and the more Leena tried to explain, the more ridiculous it sounded and the more awkward and embarrassed she felt. Daisy wouldn't be surprised if Leena wanted to disappear right there and then.
