It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 506

"I know you well enough to know one thing. You won't stand by and watch someone drooling over the woman you love. You must have warned him, am I right?"

A steamroller, that was how Leena saw Edward. So it was easy for Leena to guess what he did.

"You know me too well. I've been taking care of you all this time, and it clearly paid off. Let me think, what can I give you as a reward? You're very clever." Edward laughed. Leena saw right through him. But he was not embarrassed at all by her words. He did whatever he wanted and never cared what people thought.

"Did you forget? I'm a fox, the one and only fox. I know every trick you play," Leena said, making a funny face at him. Edward looked at her and let out a loud laugh. And come to think of it, she had a point there and that was what made her so special. That was what made everyone like her so much.

"Now you know that he loves someone else, how do you feel? Sad and lost?" Edward handed her the drink Luke had brought them and screwed open one bottle himself and drank. Luke was tall, robust and masculine, yet he was way more thoughtful and observant than he looked. He took care of even the little things, like bringing them some cool drinks to drive away the heat.

"Not that bad. I'm not that into him. Maybe I'm a little unhappy but I am sure this feeling will fade soon. I'll be fine. Don't worry."

Leena took a sip of the drink and licked her lips. She tried to look upward at the sky high above but was blinded by the brilliant sunlight.

"I am glad to see you're as upbeat as ever. That's a relief," Edward said with a soft warm smile on his face. Everyone lavished their care and attention on her, yet she wasn't spoiled rotten. He believed that she would find happiness in the end. After all, God is just, he will always treat everyone fairly.

"What do you expect? I don't feel like I have too many options. Crying and arguing over something that doesn't belong to me? That's not me." Leena breathed slowly and stared at the street full of people. She suddenly realized she hadn't gone out with Kevin even once. This thought gave her a bitter taste.
