It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 916

"Thailand? Why did he go there? He didn't tell me anything. Why didn't he? Was something wrong with him?" Leena looked at Edward, her eyes widening in surprise. What happened to Rain? Was something bothering him? What was he up to?

"Well. You probably need to ask him that in person to find out. I assume he would be pleased to tell you everything," Edward replied. He looked at the reports in his hands, not bothered by Leena's presence. He seemed to be quite used to it.

"No, I won't! He will for sure bamboozle me. Well, I am not going to disturb you and your work any longer. I need to get some rest too. Wake me up when it's time." Leena walked to the sofa, leaving her phone on the desk. She was still somewhat tired after yesterday. Besides, she had just come back from Paris. She still suffered from the jet lag because of the time difference.

"Yes, get some rest. What were you up to yesterday? Were you at a robbery or something? Why do you want to sleep at this time in the morning?" Edward frowned slightly. She had been yawning for quite some time now. It was almost noon. He didn't understand why she was fatigued right now.

"Oh, yes! I robbed someone yesterday. But I didn't steal anything, but lost my own heart," Leena replied jokingly and lay down on the sofa comfortably. She did not want to tell him too much about her private matters. That would be weird.

"Leena, aren't you happy with your life?" Upon hearing her unusual words, Edward looked at her and asked, frowning. He felt the discomfort in his heart. She had been his beloved princess since she was a child. He loved her very much. One of the last things he liked was to see her sad.

"Yes, of course I am happy! Why would you say that? I am very happy. I was just kidding. Don't take it so seriously," Leena replied, sticking out her tongue. She had forgotten that Edward was a sensitive man deep down. He might sense something unusual, so she hastened to refute his concerns immediately. In any case, she did not think she was unhappy now.

"That is good. Just take some rest. It is still early now." Edward tore his gaze away from her and concentrated on his documents again. He still didn't feel as peaceful as before. He knew better than anyone else who was in Kevin's heart. He did not want Leena to get hurt because of him.

Leena did not make any response. She was afraid that Edward would not let go of his anxiety for her and ask her again. He was not easy to deal with. So she closed her eyes and slept for a while.

Time passed by quietly. When Edward raised his head in the direction of Leena, she was already fast asleep. 'Is she dreaming about something?' Edward had no way to tell. He sighed silently. Grabbing his coat from the back of his chair, he walked over and gently put it on her. He gazed at her for a long time before kissing her forehead affectionately. After a while, he went back to his desk and continued the work while Leena slept. The documents seemed to be endless.

Suddenly, Leena's phone rang. She had left it on the desk. The ringtone sounded extremely shrill in the quiet atmosphere. Edward pressed the answer key without thinking twice, afraid that it would wake Leena up. She would be upset if she got disturbed from her sleep.

"Hello! Who's that, please?" Edward spoke politely since he did not know who was calling. He had picked up the phone without checking the caller ID.
