It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 284

"Yes, I think so, too. But her phone is off all this time. That is strange." Kevin had been calling Leena, but she never answered. Though he knew Leena was probably okay, he couldn't stop himself from having some really horrible thoughts every now and then.

"That's not like her. Did she leave you any messages?" asked Daisy with a frown. She knew Leena was a considerate girl; she would never suddenly disappear without saying anything and make her friends worry. Besides, like any young girl, she lived on her devices.

"I'm...not sure." Kevin closed his eyes and hit his head with his palm. Why did he miss that? But such notes were usually left near the phone or on the door of the fridge. He couldn't recall seeing notes in any of those places.

"I'll check tonight when I get home." Daisy smiled and went towards the office building. It seemed that Leena was the most difficult task that Kevin had ever encountered.

Kevin smiled awkwardly and followed Daisy into the building. Mark was left alone with the Humvee, having no idea what he should do next.

It was in the wee hours in Paris when Leena finally got back to her hotel room. As soon as she walked in, she threw herself onto the bed with a satisfied sigh. She went to attend a party hosted by the sponsors of the competition. The competition would be finished in two more days, and Leena could head back home by then. She wondered whether Kevin had done with the military exercises or not. She was careless and forgot to bring her phone, and she didn't bother to remember anyone's number. She couldn't even call Kevin even though she really wanted to.

To be honest, most of the time, she didn't think about being a married woman. But when she was alone, Kevin's face kept flashing through her mind. Leena forced a weak smile. It seemed more like a alliance than a marriage, since they both got what they needed from this relationship. She didn't believe that Kevin married her simply because of being responsible. Her instinct told her that he was avoiding something, or someone; that was why he married her. However, Leena didn't care, because she didn't love Kevin, not yet.

But they would be living together for the rest of their lives, and Leena wasn't sure whether she would fall in love with Kevin someday. She had decided if Kevin was honest with her, then she would treat him with all her sincerity. Although Leena seemed a carefree person, she could be quite sentimental on certain occasions. She sighed deeply and thought of Kevin again. 'Do I really have no feelings for him? Why do I keep thinking about him?' Leena was confused.

Rain was also confused about Annie's sudden disappearance. He couldn't focus on anything except for Annie and why she left him. He hadn't smiled for days, and he looked like a soulless poppet that could only stare into space.

"Now spit it out. What happened this time?" Edward tossed the report aside casually and fixed his eyes on Rain with great interest. Rain would only come to his office and listlessly spread out on his couch when there was something wrong. Edward wouldn't care if Rain just sat there and remained quiet, but he stared at him the whole time. Wherever Edward moved, Rain's eyes would follow him. It was enough to give Edward goosebumps.

"Why are women so heartless?" Rain muttered and turned to Edward with his eyebrows raised, as if Edward had the answer he wanted printed on his face.

"Are you referring to Annie? What did she do to you? Did she rape you?" Edward was only joking; however, Rain didn't think so.

"Damn it! Me raped? Are you kidding? It should be the other way around!" Rain overreacted every time he was provoked, which made him an easy target.

"No way! Did you rape her? You animal!" Edward was surprised. He knew Rain was a considerate man, and it was hard to believe that he would hurt the girl he loved.

"What are you talking about? I didn't force her! She was willing to give it to me!" Rain deliberately omitted the part of truth that he was rough and mean to Annie that night. He felt so ashamed of himself, and he would never hear the end of it if Edward knew it.
