It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 240

Leena also couldn't rest. She twitched her nose and rested her chin on her hands and looked for a thousand times at her phone in the long night, but it laid silent and still on the table in front of her, dead as a brick.

It was already one in the morning, and she wondered if he would still come back home. What was she supposed to do with all the food that she had made for him if he wouldn't? She thought that maybe something unexpected had come up, and that he couldn't leave it undone. But even if that was true, he still could have at least called her and told her that he would be running late, rather than make her wait for him for the whole night. Although Leena was not really in love with Kevin, he was, after all, her husband, and even if they were just friends, she still would worry about him when he didn't return home in the middle of the night.

Leena sighed and reached for her phone. 'Fine, ' she thought, 'If you doesn't call, then I will. Don't blame me if I interrupt you from something important, because I already gave you the chance to call.'

Kevin was about to go to bed when his phone started to buzz, and after he saw the name on the screen, he hit his head in remorse. 'Damn it! She must be really mad at me, ' he thought. He had forgotten to call Leena because he had been busy for the whole day.

"Hello..." he answered, but Leena snapped at him before he could utter any other word.

"Kevin, it's me. I didn't mean to interrupt your work, but I just got a little worried. You know, it's actually quite late, and em... anyway, I just want to call and make sure that everything is okay." Leena was afraid that her late call would irritate him, and she hurried to explain her intention beforehand. She wanted to tell Kevin that she knew he was busy and that she totally understood him. She also was upset because she was thinking about why he hadn't called her.

"I'm sorry, Leena," he said, "There are some preparations that need to be done before the military exercises, and I've already arrived in H City. I'm sorry that I forgot to call you. It was a long day. Are you worried about me?" Kevin was touched by Leena's words. He thought that she would cry or blame him for bailing on her, but instead she apologized for interrupting his work. He felt like a tornado swept all over his heart.
