It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 372

It was supposed to be a date between lovers. However, with Brian joining them it had turned into a party for friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time. Edward, who should be the male protagonist in the date, looked deserted in this gathering. He just listened quietly while Daisy and Brian chatted fervently about their past that had nothing to do with him. It seemed that he was the third wheel in tonight's date. Although Edward was left out in the cold, he felt neither embarrassed nor angry. He sat silently on his seat, ate his beefsteak and gracefully sipped the red wine. He looked so noble and so charming that he had become the focus of attention at the restaurant. Many guests were peeping at him. But he paid no attention to them and casually went on dining and drinking. Every few minutes, he raised his head to cast an affectionate look at the woman sitting opposite him. His glamour appeared in every gesture and every glimpse of him.

Daisy didn't shift her gaze from Edward when she was conversing with Brian. She enjoyed talking with Brian, but she could not help herself from glancing at Edward, as he was always the focus of attention for her. Edward was the only man that Daisy wanted to love for the rest of her life.

Daisy and Edward cared about each other, although at times they tried to behave otherwise. Brian had, of course, noticed their sweet gestures. Brian saw that Daisy and Edward had fallen deeply in love with each other. Brian felt happy for Daisy; her happiness was one of his greatest wishes. Although he loved Daisy too, he didn't mind that his beloved woman was in love with another man. He just wanted her to have a happy life and was willing to do anything to make that happen. But like a spoiled boy, Brian could not help himself from approaching her and had tried his best to attract her attention.

At the same time, Leena was having an unfavorable night. It all started when she burned her hand while cooking in her apartment. She looked at the scalded skin with a frown. Tears were welling in her eyes. Leena blamed herself for her carelessness. While she was cooking, she recalled what had happened at the cocktail party last night. She was so absorbed in her thoughts that she didn't pay attention to the soup pot until the soup spilled out. Leena's first reaction was to remove the pod lid to stop the spilling. But the pot lid was so hot that her hand got burnt.

Leena bit her lip to suppress the painful sting in her hand. Although she had washed the burned area with cold water, she could still feel the scalding sting on her skin. Leena had no idea what to do next. She just blankly stared at the burnt skin. Then she got lost in a daze, as Kevin's aloof attitude towards her at last night's party occupied her mind again.

Leena softly let out a sigh of defeat. Although she dreamed of an independent lifestyle, she could not stand Kevin's indifferent attitude towards their marriage anymore. He didn't care about her and never took an interest in what she did. Leena didn't mind who Kevin loved in his heart. But she did mind whether Kevin showed concern for her in front of those people who cared for her. She hated his aloofness towards her in public. Now, she had no idea how to maintain the confidence of her beloved family and friends in her marriage.
