It'll Come Naturally
Chapter 1424 What Is The Truth (Part Three)

"I actually want you to be my mistress. Then you wouldn't need to do anything but wait around for me, doing nothing but keeping yourself pretty," Kevin blurted out. He was so annoyed that he didn't know what he was talking about. "Hah! I would like to see that! Don't forget that you're a major general. If you had a mistress, you'd be turned over to the military court." Leena challenged, finding it funny to see a man like Kevin get irritated.

"I'm willing to risk everything for you." Kevin rolled up his sleeves and began to wash vegetables.

"Well, it sounds like I'm a seductive but dangerous woman. I have actually heard that before. I just don't remember who said it!" Leena affectionately ran her hands on Kevin's back. She knew that Kevin wouldn't let her cook tonight, so she just helped him. "Well, you might be such a woman. But maybe in ancient times." Kevin was dying to ask her about the tonics, but this wasn't the best time. No matter how anxious he was, he had to take his time and wait for the right moment.

"Ha ha. Then that would make you a kinsman of the emperor." Leena was getting good at jokes now. The Gu family had held high official positions in the army for generations. They had been influential in the capital city as a notable family. "So you're just a siren." Kevin was no longer angry. He liked this intimate time, cooking with the woman he loved dearly.

The two teased each other. Leena preferred such a warm scene to cooking alone. Her heart danced with happiness.

After dinner, Kevin led Leena to sit on the couch. This time he had a straight face which made her nervous.

"What's wrong? You're being too serious now." Leena was curious and wondered what had suddenly happened to her husband tonight. Was there something in the food they ate? She seemed fine.

"Nana, I'm your husband, right?" Kevin put his hands on hers and turned her around to face him, his eyes fixed on her. Leena could no longer escape this time.

"Of course. Why?" Leena's heartbeat pounded in her ears. She felt something was about to happen.

"But you're hiding something from me. We have come to an agreement that we won't keep any secrets from each other, but you are not being completely honest with me," Kevin said with a frown. He looked dejected. "What are you talking about, Kevin? I swear I am not hiding anything from you. Don't fill your head with nonsense. You look terrible. Are you sick?" Leena put her hand on Kevin's forehead with worry.

"I'm okay. And you know what? I went to the hospital earlier today to see Tom. But he didn't tell me anything and asked me to talk to you, instead." Kevin took Leena's hand. It was the saddest thing to be not trusted by his own wife. "Kevin... Please forgive me. But I really need some more time to think about it." Leena knew that she couldn't conceal her infertility much longer, but she didn't expect Kevin to find out or figure it out so soon. She thought she wouldn't need to worry about it before she finished the sample drawings for Fashion Week, but she had no choice but to face it now.

"Nana, I want to be by your side whatever happens. Please don't keep things to yourself." Kevin was hurt that his wife didn't include him in her most trying times. He should have been the first person that she turned to in times of difficulty.

"I know, but it's really not a serious problem. Please understand. And now, I'm so tired. I want to take a bath and go to bed early." Leena stood up. She really didn't have the heart to tell him the brutal truth that he might never be a daddy in this life, at least not with her. "Okay, fine. I won't force you, but you know, I'm always by your side. Come to me whenever you are ready." Kevin promised Tom that he wouldn't force Leena. Since she didn't want to talk about it now, he would give her time. He believed that she would be able to straighten out her thoughts and tell him one day.

Leena directed a meaningful look at Kevin and then staggered upstairs, as if there was a fierce flood and savage beasts waiting for her.

Kevin lay back on the sofa with a sigh and closed his eyes. 'Nana, ' he thought, 'I'm your husband. Why don't you open your heart to me? We should face this together.'

Leena hurried into the bathroom. She turned on the shower directly without even taking off her clothes. The water poured down her face, washing away her tears.

The inability to conceive a child was no longer a huge deal in modern society, but it was hard for Leena to accept that she might never become a mother. If she didn't fall in love with Kevin, she could just sign a divorce agreement, but she didn't want to leave him and give up her hard-won love because of this.

When she was a child, she had never felt that she was unfortunate even without her mother's company, because her brothers regarded her as a treasure and took good care of her. But now she felt so helpless and thought that God was so unfair to her. She had a happy marriage that everyone admired, but why were they deprived of a wonderful baby?

If she was selfish, she could just ask Kevin and give him the choice to divorce her for this reason, but she couldn't do it. She loved him too much, and she was unwilling to impose her misfortune on him. He didn't do anything wrong. None of this was his fault and he shouldn't have to suffer because of her.

She washed away her tears, filled with deep sorrow. Although she had known about her infertility long ago, she bore it alone silently and didn't cry. But when her husband started to ask her about it, it was as if the dam that had been holding all her fears and emotions broke and they had all come crashing down on her. She wanted to lean in his arms and listen to his comforting words, but she didn't have the courage to see his sad eyes when he found out the truth, so she chose to be cowardly and wanted to escape from it.000000
