It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 976

"I hope so. But why do I feel that the possibility is so slim?" Kevin flashed a bitter smile. He knew his sister's temper. And that was why he had qualms about marrying Leena. He worried that he would marry a woman a lot like Claire. If he did that, he wouldn't have a moment's peace ever again. It wasn't really that he hated his sis. More, it was that he didn't approve of the way she behaved most of the time. More puzzling to him was his father's attitudes towards her. The man had lavished all his affection on her, even slavishly. So most of the time, Kevin felt it difficult to call her out, because everyone in the house took her side. So she became a spoiled brat.

Lee's lips trembled, but nothing eventually came out from his mouth. He still focused on the road ahead and drove carefully. It suddenly became very quiet in the car, and Kevin began to lose in his thoughts.

The car zoomed over the expressway. Leena slept for a very long time. But it was a torture to Kevin. He had been holding her in his arms for hours. Staying in the same posture for so long, he almost felt that his legs would cramp.

"Major General, there's a service center ahead, how about we stop there and have a rest? You can get out and stretch your legs." Lee broke the silence as he saw Kevin finally opened his eyes. He had been resting all the way with his eyes slightly closed.

"Okay. We probably need to grab a bite. There's still about two or three hours' ride ahead of us. A break is a good idea. Safety first. We've got time." Kevin slightly moved his numb legs. But he didn't expect that he would wake Leena up with his move. Leena suddenly opened her sleepy eyes. She looked around, still in a daze.

"Where are we now?" Leena asked, her face blushed. She was surprised to find herself on Kevin's laps when she woke up. And she felt a little embarrassed.

"Leena, you're awake? That's good. There is a service center ahead. We can eat something and continue our trip." Kevin helped her to smooth her messy hair, his gentle movements being much different from his usual stern, brusque manner in the army base.

"Oh! Now that you mention it, I do feel a little hungry. But what are you doing back here with me?" Leena sat up and asked doubtfully.

"I came to the back seat when you were asleep." Kevin smiled mischievously. He thought it was a clever answer. But to Leena, it was such a crap. Of course, she knew it was when she was asleep. If she was awake, she wouldn't have asked.

"Thank you Captain Obvious. Any more brilliant observations?" Leena looked outside through the car window. She saw the car slowly driving into the service center. The first thing she wanted to do after she got out was to find the bathroom, not the restaurant. That was why she was casting furtive glances up and down the road. She really needed to go!

"Are you mad at me?" Kevin was surprised to get such a response. Because Leena seemed to always have an even temper, and it was not like her to get agitated so easily.

"No, I'm busy now." Leena gazed around firmly, anxiously looking for the bathroom. And the only thing on her mind was to rush to the bathroom as soon as the car pulled over.
