It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 496

"You see? Then why did you get angry with her? When a man acts childish, and makes mountains out of molehills, he's more difficult to be understood than a woman! This much is true!" Leena shook her head. She could not comprehend this line of thinking. Meanwhile, she got more curious about Kevin. He looked mature and serious. Would he sometimes also act childishly like her brother did? She paused for an instant; she thought of him again! Why did he come into her mind? People always say that the more difficult it was to reach something or someone, the more interested one would become. Was it true?

"My dear girl, when did you see me get angry with her? I just don't stay around her. Is that a mistake too?" Just then Duke started to walk towards the building. Leena had no alternative but to follow him inside. But a man always walked more quickly than a woman. So Leena was left behind a little. She didn't catch up with him until when the elevator reached the first floor.

"The fact is that this is *not* normal. You're acting strangely, and now she's back there, confused and hurt! Is that what you want? You're not afraid that Belinda might think badly of you because of it?" Leena ran and caught up with him. She leaned herself on Duke, panting slightly. She felt her heart beat violently and attributed this phenomenon to the lack of exercise. She thought to herself; maybe from next week, she should go hiking, or do some sports in the gym. Or else, she might get fatigued easily!

"What? Are you tired already? You haven't got any exercise recently, have you?" Duke reached out to soften her breath. Leena had a weak constitution. She used to be weak and sick when she was a baby. He knew about her condition, so he had spent years training her in proper fitness and nutrition to strengthen her. And as expected, Leena was much healthier than before. He didn't want her to hurt herself again.

"I'm fine. I'm just catching my breath. Probably because the air is too dry in autumn. And yes you are right, I haven't been to the gym for a while. That's another possible reason. I'll get moving soon. So, don't worry about me. You'd better concentrate on Belinda!"

With a "ding", the elevator stopped on the floor of her apartment. Leena stepped out before Duke. She took the key out of her small bag and stuck it into the lock. Then she entered the password and opened the door.

"Come on Leena, do you think I'm the kind of man who would submit to a woman easily?" Duke didn't consider himself a stranger and walked inside the house, following Leena. He had been to Leena's apartment once. But at that time, he had been unhappy about Kevin, so he hadn't taken a close look at it. Now he checked it carefully. He hadn't anticipated that Kevin had the apartment warmly decorated as he was a careless soldier. He had looked down upon him in this respect.

"Well. I wasn't sure before. But now I don't think you are. You love Belinda from the bottom of your heart! But you've been hiding your feelings because of your arrogance. It's been so many years, are you still thinking of that woman?"
