It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 881

Most of the party guests were business tycoons or fashion stars. The red dress Leena was in highlighted her fair and milky skin, making her look even more like a goddess. She was indeed the central figure at the party. All the men had their eyes on Leena. It was always a pleasure for them to see a beautiful woman. Leena greeted them politely. Her bright smile and good manners made her stand out like an elegant princess. As she made her way through the crowd, all the attention was on her.

"You are so beautiful tonight, Mignonne," said Gerard affectionately, as he approached Leena. Anyone who wanted to talk to Leena had to go through this handsome gentleman, and there was no comparison. He was quite high-class and stunningly majestic. Everyone else was out of his league.

"Thank you, Gerard. You look very handsome tonight too." Leena smiled and greeted him politely. She did not expect Gerard to be here, because she never heard him mention a thing about it.

"Then, can I have the honor of accompanying you tonight?" Gerard raised his eyebrows and showed her an elated smile. Leena had known him for so many years and was familiar with his various smiles. So she was not attracted to him at all. But things went differently when it came to other people. They gasped at the sight of his charming smile and pearly whites because he was probably the most handsome man at the party. Obviously, they all went crazy for him. After all, a beautiful face was simply another form of art. Everyone enjoyed beautiful things, whether they were masculine or feminine.

"It's my pleasure. Thank you so much," Leena replied with a sweet smile. The reason she decided to accept Gerard's offer was in order to avoid more potential invitations from other men. She did not want to have a stranger be her partner. Now that Gerard offered, why not accept it? At least, she knew Gerard better compared with other men.

"Well, Mignonne, where is your husband? I don't see him. Has he already gone back?" Gerard asked in a careful tone. He had been knocking at Leena's door for the last few days. But every time he went to her apartment, that cold and overbearing man always sent him back. He was really angry with him. But he could not show his anger in front of him. After all, that man was Leena's husband and he was just a "friend" to her. Her husband, of course, had a right to refuse his visit as a host.

"Ur! My husband? Ha-ha! Do you mean my brother? I'm sorry, Gerard. He misled you." Leena chuckled when she realized Gerard was talking about Duke. Her clear laughter soon drew a lot of attention. People could not help looking at her to see what made her so happy. Noticing other eyes on here, Leena felt a little bit awkward and her face turned red because of it. She did not know that her reddened face and shy manners made her more charming and lovely.

"What? Your brother? Oh God! He's your brother! But why did he mislead me and keep me from seeing you when you were sick?" Gerard was puzzled. He didn't know why Duke misled him so that he thought he was Leena's husband. Didn't her brother like he? Why did he always turn him away each time?

"Did you visit me? But why don't I remember that?" Leena frowned slightly. She had no memory of Gerard's visits during that time. Suddenly, her eyes widened in surprise. Yes, she did hear the doorbell ring several times. But she was too weak to respond to it. What was more, Mr. Cold was with her at that time. So he was responsible for letting guests in or turning them away. She recalled that Duke did not let anyone in. When she asked who rang the bell, he always claimed that someone found the wrong apartment. Now she finally understood everything. It turned out that Duke gave him the cold shoulder. She really couldn't imagine Mr. Cold acting so childish until Gerard mentioned it.
