It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 984

"How about your Dad? Is he still in the living room?" The woman asked carefully. She was a bit afraid of Kevin's father as he was a cold and straight-faced man.

"No. He is in the study now. He has some work to finish. Let's go." Kevin was still in his military uniform. He grabbed Leena's hand and walked out of the bedroom.

An empty living room welcomed them as they reached downstairs. It was to Leena's delight, even Claire was not there. That was the only time that woman felt relieved.

They walked out of the Gu's house courtyard. The houses in the neighborhood were all arranged perfectly. Obviously, the place was a high-grade area and all the house owners were decent people.

"Let's go! The playing field is over there. I used to play there when I was a child." Kevin and Leena were holding each other's hand as they walked. Several soldiers jogged pass them and she found them pretty interesting.

"Kevin, I thought they were having a drill every morning. Why are they jogging now?" Leena asked curiously. She couldn't help but feel engrossed in everything there as that was the place where Kevin grew up.

"They are not having a drill. They are just exercising. See the poplar tree over there? I was taller than it when I was a kid. It's much taller than me now, though." Emotions overcame Kevin as he spoke. He had been a naughty boy and always had fights with his fellows during his younger years. His father had beaten him countless times because of that.

"Haha, you're so funny! Were you a little monkey in your childhood?" She made a face at him as she asked. She felt like she was on the top of the world while hanging out with him like this.

"Well, my fellows were as naughty as I was. We almost fought with each other every day but we wouldn't hate each other." Years had passed. His childhood playmates had drifted apart a long time ago. Kevin had also left this place after he had spent nearly twenty years here. It was not easy for him to have a gathering with them.

"Wow, sounds like you were good buddies." Leena sighed. It seemed that Kevin missed his childhood playmates. She didn't know how to comfort him.

"Time will change everything. We haven't seen each other for so many years. I don't think we will be that close when we meet again." A bitter smile cracked from Kevin's lips. This was the truth and he couldn't deny it.

"Who knows? You guys may meet in the street but can't recognize each other." Leena looked at Kevin's eyes. She had a simple childhood without many playmates. She spent most of her childhood with her brothers, who treated her like a princess. As a result, she was unable to understand Kevin right now.

"I guess so. Let's go there, and take a seat." Kevin grabbed her hand and walked towards a little garden. There were many facilities there, including benches, a seesaw, and a swing.

"What? Are you going to play on the swing?" Leena asked in confusion as she wondered whether Kevin was going to relive his childhood.

"I thought you would like it. Girls do like playing on the swing, don't you?" The man had spent little time with girls, thus, he knew little about them.

"You're being sexist!" Leena pursed her lips while grumbling but then sat on the swing carefully. There was also a swing in their backyard which was made by Duke himself.

"I don't understand. Do you like it or not?" Kevin asked and gave her a light push. The lady's words and behavior were simply a ball of confusion.

"Well, you said girls liked playing on the swing. And I'm also one of them. Of course, I like it!" She made a face and stuck her tongue out at him.
