It'll Come Naturally

Chapter 352 You Win (Part One)

Kevin walked to the balcony and looked into the sky. His handsome face seemed concerned. He smiled with self-mockery and wondered, what had happened to him. He had told himself repeatedly that he should not hope for the love which didn't belong to him. So why was he still feeling sad when he saw their public display of affection?

He lit a cigarette. The peculiar smell of nicotine gagged him. He coughed lightly. The smell faded with the emission of smoke. He rarely smoked. Usually, he only smoked one or two cigarettes when he felt bored and lonely in the army base. He smoked tonight because his heart was overwhelmed.

He didn't deny the fact that he got married to Leena for selfish reasons. He wanted his father to give up on the idea of an arranged marriage, so he took advantage of Leena to reach his purpose. He used to consider such behavior as despicable. He was ashamed to admit that he had reduced to such an immoral level, just to be able to see Daisy regularly.

In fact, he didn't know why he was so persistent. He got used to watching the woman he loved and waiting. He got lost in his fantasies and didn't know what he really wanted. If he was a stubborn man who only wanted Daisy and who'd never consider another woman, why didn't he think about winning over Daisy? Or was his feeling for Daisy some sort of spiritual sustenance that had accumulated over the years. Perhaps, it wasn't the deep love he had thought it to be.

Kevin never considered himself as a sentimental person. But such annoying thoughts kept coming to him recently; he couldn't escape them. His mind was deeply troubled by these complex thoughts. He had thought that Leena was from an ordinary family when she married him, and that she became superior by marrying a high-ranking official. He didn't expect that she was the daughter of the owner of Leng Group. In that instant, he felt guilty for marrying the princess-like Leena who was the apple of her family's eye. If it weren't for him, she would find a far better match. At least then she wouldn't have to live such a lonely and dull life.

Kevin had no complaints about Leena. On the contrary, she made him feel that he should look at her in a new light. He had assumed that such a noblewoman from an affluent family would be arrogant and overbearing. But her behavior and manner changed his prejudice towards the heirs of wealthy and influential families. Or perhaps, he only changed his prejudice against Leena.

Although sometimes she seemed slightly tipsy, she still looked lovely and adorable. Besides, she had unusual views on everything. She looked innocent, posing no threat to anyone. But she also had a sharp mind. This was all that Kevin knew about Leena as of now. He wasn't sure if he would change these views with time. But the future was still very distant, wasn't it?

He breathed out a swirl of cigarette smoke and nipped the cigarette in the ashtray. He looked at the black sky dotted with the bright stars one more time and silently turned back to enter the room. He inadvertently smiled while looking at Leena who was in sound sleep on the bed. .

Mornings at FX International Group were always busy, this was especially true today. Telephones in the office were constantly ringing, calls were flooding to confirm the authenticity of today's reports. The youngest female Colonel Daisy Ouyang turned out to be the wife of the CEO of FX International Group, and also the mother of their love child as per the newspapers and magazines. This big news became the blockbuster of the day. It stirred great commotion in every corner of S City. People marveled at this powerful alliance.

"Edward, you look horny so early in the morning. And your obscene smile is disgusting. Is it because you were not satisfied yesterday night and you want to proceed with your lewd fancy with the beautiful woman in the newspaper?" Rain ridiculed Edward while leaning against the door and smiling mischievously.

"Do you think that I'm like you, who has no one to love? Forget about those rubbish fancies, that's your thing." Edward put aside the newspaper he had been reading carefully for a while. The picture on the cover of the newspaper was an enlarged photo of Daisy.This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

"Oh, no! Don't say that. I don't fancy other women." Rain walked towards the table and picked up the newspaper with curiosity. When he saw the beautiful woman on the cover, he showed a understanding smile and teased, "Huh! I was wondering who this woman might be. It's Daisy.

No wonder you were smiling so obscenely. I'm surprised to see that Daisy looks so fascinating even when she's not wearing her uniform."

"Dish it out! What do you want to say? Don't blabber." Edward knew Rain's personality very well. If it weren't for something important, he would be slacking at his office instead of visiting Edward's office so early in the morning.

"Bingo. You're right. The Army Group called today." Rain paused intentionally and cunningly looked at Edward with raised eyebrows. He was wondering how much this topic would interest Edward.

"Oh! What did they say?" He always paid attention to any news concerning Daisy. Edward also knew that Rain was intentionally keeping him in suspense, he was inclined to fall into his trap.

"Boss, don't you think that we have made a fortune this time?" Rain continued to talk in circles. Seeing Edward's keenness, he tried to torment him some more. Generally, Rain was the one on the receiving end of torture. Today he wanted to turn the tide and enjoy the pleasure of torturing Edward.

"I'll give you a minute to spit out the relevant information. Otherwise, get out of here immediately!" Edward narrowed his eyes and coldly looked at Rain who was smiling smugly. 'Huh, how dare he play these childish games with me. Does he think that I'm weak and helpless today?' Edward thought.

"I know you're impatient. You know what, you're extremely mean to me, and you can't stand the happiness of others. You should know that while we have spent a fortune on the army project, we have also gotten good returns." Rain was testing Edward's limits. Edward wanted to punch him after hearing his reply because he didn't say anything useful.
