It'll Come Naturally
Chapter 1399 We Are Not That Familiar (Part Three)

"Yes! So you will let me stay here?" Leena got excited because she could tell that Kevin would eventually give in. She didn't mind waiting for hours at all. Waiting for her own husband to get off work was actually a pretty sweet thing to do, in her opinion.

tapped her forehead with his finger, with eyes full of affection towards his wife.

"Well, how can I refuse if you insist like that? You make such good arguments that you're so hard to resist. Of course I agree. Just wait here. Let me ask Lee to take you to my apartment here. Such a stubborn girl!" Kevin couldn't do anything about her perseverance. He "Yay! Thank you thank you thank you!" Leena stood on her tiptoes and smacked a loud kiss on Kevin's cheek. Her face was proud and showed her happiness. She was glad that she had Kevin wrapped around her little finger.

"Leena, we are in a public place," Kevin gently warned Leena, as he rubbed his face. It seemed that a little smudge of red had stayed on his cheek. Then he glanced back at the gate of the army base. He didn't know if Leena's behavior just now was seen by any of the soldiers. He sincerely hoped not. How would he keep his reputation of being strong and tough in front of them, if he was seen making small lovey-dovey, public displays of affection in the army base? Might as well strip off the uniform and wear a pink couple T-shirt during training.

"It's just a friendly smack. I did it everyday when I was abroad. Don't think too much of it." Leena looked at him with raised eyebrows, a smirk on her face. Though her heart felt a pinch of pain whenever she thought that maybe one day Kevin would belong to another woman, she kept the sweet smile on her face.

"But don't forget we are not abroad. Besides, we are in front of the army base. Well, I have to go inside now. Wait here, okay? Lee will come get you shortly." Kevin shook his head helplessly at her. He found that Leena was more and more lively around him, and it made him very happy. It was just what he wanted for her. He was glad that Leena was this blissful around him.

"Okay." Leena lowered her head and smiled to herself. Then she watched him walk back inside the army base. She only withdrew her gaze when Kevin disappeared behind the gate and from her sight.

After a few minutes, Leena saw Lee quickly run out towards her. He didn't want Leena to wait too long. So he immediately came over after getting Kevin's instructions.

"Sorry for the long wait, Leena." Lee smiled a goofy smile at her. Lee was still very young, almost like a college boy. He was generally quiet and shy and he always turned red in front of girls. Leena hoped that it was only because he was embarrassed. So now, his face was all blushed, standing in front of Leena. She couldn't understand why he still behaved this way. He and Leena already met countless times.

"That's all right, Lee. Sorry to trouble you." Leena felt a bit guilty that Lee had to come and get her. She was afraid that she had interrupted his work because she was just so stubborn and didn't want to leave. But it was quickly replaced by the delight of getting to wait at the base just like a real military wife.

"It's no trouble, Leena. Besides, it's an honor to be of service to you," Lee playfully replied. He was still a young boy after all. He quickly got over his initial embarrassment and now he could even joke back and forth with Leena.

This was the first time that Leena walked around the place where Kevin had been living for years. And just as she expected, everything was neat and clean, showing the cold and serious atmosphere that only soldiers could have. There was nothing fancy about his apartment. It only had the bare necessities for him to function properly and effectively. Despite that, the apartment showed respect, discipline and efficiency. To be honest, this place made Leena feel a bit intimidated. It was quite different from the extravagant and frivolous life in the world of fashion that she was hugely involved in.

Lee still had some work to do, so he quickly left after dropping off Leena. Leena walked around the apartment with curious eyes. She suddenly felt a lot closer to Kevin seeing this place. She now had a better idea of how Kevin's life was like before he met her. Everything felt real, as if she was surrounded by her loving husband.

Leena drew a deep breath. She could feel him in this building. She could hear his footsteps and his faint voice. She could even catch a waft of his manly scent. Yes, this place smelt just like Kevin. It was the same faint mint smell she was so familiar with. She then entered the bedroom and opened the closet to have a look. The clothes were mostly military uniforms. But there were still some casual outfits. It seemed that Kevin rarely bought clothes for himself. It was understandable. He could not wear anything other than his military uniform when he was at work. He hadn't worn most of the clothes she bought for him, much to her disappointment, which she didn't show. He hadn't even gotten rid of the tags attached to the clothes yet.

Also, Leena couldn't ignore that the apartment was sparkling clean. Leena knew it must be Lee who helped Kevin clean his own room. She knew Kevin too well. He was never good at doing housework, and he was definitely not the one who made the place this clean. For one, he never lifted a finger to do any housework back home, other than cooking.

Maybe because Kevin didn't live here for long periods of time, this place seemed empty. And to make it worse, there was no heater in this apartment, so it was a bit chilly for Leena's liking.00000
