It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 207

Kevin brought Leena back to his downtown apartment. He knew that his flat was small compared to the luxurious mansion of the Leng family. But it was better than most people's houses.

Leena looked around the apartment in curiosity. The place was arranged with warm decorations. She was surprised that a rough man like Kevin would be so considerate and make the place look so sweet and welcoming.

"What do you think? Do you like it?" asked Kevin. He suddenly felt sad. Would he be really happy if this was the woman he loved the most? Namely, Daisy? He thought that might be why he felt that way.

"Yes! It's very sweet. Simple, but very tastefully done. You may have a future in this," she joked. Obviously he wouldn't give up his life as a soldier to be an interior decorator, but Leena was delighted. She looked around and every room looked beautiful. Fine art prints hung on the walls, decorative plates, matching bed sets with high thread counts, tapestries, fabric room dividers framed with different types of wood. It seemed that Kevin really had a good taste. He was an interesting man, Leena thought.

Kevin looked at Leena, who was very excited to see everything in the house. But he was lost in thought. Mechanically, he took her luggage to the main bedroom upstairs. He began to think about something else.

"Kevin, do you also live here?" Leena ran into the bedroom with excitement. She asked when she looked a little doubtful about the decorations.

"Yes!

Where do you think I live? The moon?" He looked at Leena with a smile. 'Did it scare her to know that I will live under the same roof with her from now on?' Kevin thought.

"No, I thought you lived on base," replied Leena, blushing because of his teasing. She looked at her toes to hide her expression just now.

"I usually live on base. But since we got married, I'll move back here and live with you. So you won't have to be alone, or afraid." 'She probably will be afraid. She is still a little girl. And this place is completely strange to her. There are no maids around her here.' Kevin thought.

"Who says I'll be afraid? I just asked out of curiosity," said Leena. She asked the question because she was very curious at first. But she felt ill at ease at his words.

"That's good." He handed her a card with a magnetic strip. "This is the key to the electronic lock. You can get yourself acquainted with this place first. I'm heading back to the army base to deal with some things. I'll probably come home late," Kevin said while looking at the watch. He looked a little concerned about her. He was not sure whether she was really unafraid or she just said that to comfort him.

"Okay! Get back to work then. Don't worry. I need to unpack anyway," said Leena. Unlike other rich young ladies, Leena didn't have an obstinate character nor haughty manners. She would occasionally make mistakes, but it was never out of maliciousness. That was why she was so lovely -- she was a good person as well as beautiful lady.

"Okay. Call me if anything happens. There's tons of food in the fridge, you can eat something if you're hungry. I'll make dinner when I get back," said Kevin. He wouldn't imagine that Leena could cook meals by herself. He was happy that Leena didn't complain that the house was too small or about the lack of maids to cook and clean. This was enough for him. He didn't expect more.

"Don't worry. I'm an adult. I won't starve," said Leena with a smile. She was a little displeased that Kevin had treated her as if she were a child. Although she was born into a rich family, she was quite independent. She believed that most things should be done by herself. She was not as fragile as he thought she was.

"Okay. I'm leaving now. Make yourself at home. Everything in this house is at your disposal," said Kevin. He then hurriedly left the apartment and headed to the army base. There was lots of work waiting for him. He worked overtime last night because he took time off to register his marriage with Leena in the day. It was normal that he had to work late today.

When he arrived on base, it was already afternoon. Daisy stopped him on the way to his office. She examined him with a playful smile. 'Is there something wrong with me?' He wondered.

"Major general, you're hiding something from me," Daisy said in a cold manner, but there was a mischievous smile in her eyes. Kevin felt flabbergasted at her question.

"What do you mean, Daisy? What am I hiding?" asked Kevin. Daisy had almost never asked probing questions like this. He was confused exactly what she was referring to.

"Huh! Do you still want to hide it from me? The Commander just told me," said Daisy. She thought that he was trying to get away with it, so she pushed him to answer her question. She was a little angry that he had concealed the news that he would not go back to the capital. She had been expecting it for a long time. If he really left, she would be extremely sad.

"Do you -- do you already know about it? That I married Leena?" asked Kevin. He looked at Daisy cautiously and wondered how she would react. He always complained that the Commander was unreliable. He promised to keep this secret for him until the military exercise was over. He didn't expect that the Commander would disclose it so soon.

"What? What did you say? Who... did you marry?" asked Daisy. Daisy was really startled by his words. She lost her usual calm demeanor and gazed at Kevin dubiously. It was unbelievable to her.

"Didn't you say that the Commander told you about this? Why so surprised?" said Kevin. Kevin was annoyed and embarrassed. The woman who he had wanted to marry was right standing in front of him, while he was talking about getting married to another woman. That was really awkward.

"The Commander told me that you were staying, but he didn't tell me that you got married," said Daisy. Daisy was always very calm. But today she was really surprised by the sudden news. It was such a rush, she thought.

"Oh! But didn't you ask me about this before?" asked Kevin. His eyes were wide open with regret. ''What's going on? I thought she knew about my marriage to Leena. I guess I really got that wrong. I just voluntarily unloaded this on her, ' Kevin thought.

"Since you just told me, what's happening between you and Leena? I don't know anything about this. You don't think it important to tell me?" asked Daisy. Daisy thought Kevin would tell her about important things like this, she was his close friend. Kevin should have told her, or at least Leena should have told Edward about this. But she didn't hear Edward mention anything about it. So she assumed that he didn't know about it either.

"It just happened. We knew each other before she came to visit the base. The flash marriage is our decision and we think it's the right time," said Kevin. He smiled bitterly. He didn't say too much, because he knew Daisy would know the real reason behind it. She was such a clever woman.
