It'll Come Naturally
Chapter 1456 Her Leaving (Part One)

Michelle smiled, but secretly sneered internally. Although she was only a young, vibrant woman in her early twenties, she had matured a lot for her age ever since she got married. She had learned to be calm in her mind when tough situations arose. Like a wintersweet

blossom in the harsh winter, she remained soft yet tough in the cold.

She didn't want to cause any troubles for anyone, and was not pleased when other people found fault with her. She clearly knew that she wasn't that innocent girl anymore. She was a wife now, and that was her new identity. In other words, she behaved as if it was not just her own business anymore, but rather intertwined with Luke's.

Leena's head was spinning with the amount of tasks she had done and had to do. She definitely needed a break but she was extremely busy these days. There were tons of things she needed to prepare and required her attention. Although she couldn't exactly take care of each and every single one of them, she at least had to finish the things she had promised.

When nighttime fell, Leena was resting tiredly with her head on Kevin's lap and asked, "Kevin, do you like the kids?"

"Yes." Kevin carelessly replied in a monotonous voice, not looking down at her from the news report he was watching on the TV. It slipped him why she had asked such a strange question out of the blue.

"How many kids do you want to have?" Leena pressed her lips into a thin line and asked again.

"Girl, are you pregnant?!" Suddenly, Kevin turned to her and asked surprisingly, shock written all over his face. This did not escape Leena's gaze and she couldn't help but feel bad for herself.

"Ahh... No. I'm just asking." Seeing Kevin reacting like that, Leena couldn't bear to tell him the truth. It would greatly disappoint him. She had to swallow the bitter pill all by herself, but of course someday he would eventually know about it. One couldn't hide a secret forever, after all.

"Well, I'm going to think about it carefully. As long as you are the mother, it doesn't matter how many kids I want to have. I'll love them all anyway. But it is probably not allowed to have too many children as a soldier. What about this? What about twins?" Kevin suddenly became interested in this topic. He stopped watching the military channel he liked on TV and started to discuss the issue of children with her.

"Sure," Leena replied sweetly, but deep inside her heart was filled with sadness. The more he was getting into the conversation with her, the more her heart ached. He liked kids so much, but she couldn't make his dream a reality for him. People without such experience didn't know how painful that was. Her heart was bleeding with sadness and despair.

It was drizzling and the soft fluffy clouds had curtained the bright sunlight on the day she left. It felt much colder in this freezing late winter. Her heart seemed to be one with the weather as well, as she knew that she would disappear from his life on that fateful day.

She had determined that she probably wouldn't come back anymore. She left everything at home. His bank card, her car keys, and the keys to this house... She put all of them on the table, together with a signed divorce settlement and a letter. The letter lay silently on the table. It contained all the words she had wanted to tell him but did not.

When Kevin went home that night, there was no warm light in the house and delicious smell of dinner cooking in the air welcoming him from a long day at work. Instead, all he saw was an empty and dark house with nobody inside. His heart was beating fast and a terrible feeling spread through every fiber of his being. He stood in the living room, frozen with his mind blank, waiting for her to come up suddenly out of somewhere and grimace at him.

However, nobody came up. He went upstairs with heavy steps and kept telling himself that she must be sleeping or was busy with her designing work. But the reality was cruel. When he walked into the bedroom, the well-placed things on the dressing table came into his sight. His face paled immediately. He knew what was coming.

His big hand picked up every single object on the table, long fingers quivering as he touched and observed them one by one. Finally, he came to the envelope that was stained with tears. He didn't even have the courage to open the letter let alone read it because he feared its contents. He just remained silent and thought about all the possibilities he could think of in his head.

However, no matter how reluctant he was to accept the fact that she was gone, he had to face it anyway. So he picked up and opened the envelope, took out the letter to face the words which might drive him crazy.

"Hi, my husband. It seems to be my first time to call you like this. Probably it's also the last time." Upon reading these few simple words, Kevin could already imagine the smile she forced to put on her face.

"I'm sorry that I left you without letting you know and saying goodbye to you. I love you, so I have to leave because I don't want you to have pity in your future life." He noticed that there were many dried tear stains on the paper. Some of the words were even blurred out because of the tears. It was obvious that she was heartbroken so much that she could not stop crying, the tears swirling the ink in the wake.

"I asked you once to be more patient and give me more time. I thought God always blessed me. But this time, he is not standing with me. I know that it's time for me to leave." As he continued the letter, it was like Leena's every thought as she wrote it came to his mind. When Leena wrote this letter, every word was like a knife piercing its sharp blade through her heart. She hurt so much.

"Tom told me that it was difficult for me to get pregnant. I'm sure you can never imagine how helpless I was when I first knew this fact. How I wished I could put myself in your arms and ask for your comfort. Even a small hug could be enough for me. But I knew I couldn't. So I locked myself up and asked everyone to hide this fact from you. I don't know whether you will love me like always when you know that I'm not a perfect woman." Leena sniffed as she bit her trembling lip. God knew how she was unwilling to leave him and how she wanted to be selfish this time. But she dared not bet, because she was afraid of the moment when Kevin knew it.0000000
