It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 1340

"What do you think?" Tom's face was full of disdain. He didn't look like he even wanted to talk to Patricia. Truth be told, he was actually a nice guy. But he didn't know why every time he was with Patricia, he got this uneasy and fluttery feeling in his stomach, making him feel extremely annoyed at her. In fact, he didn't hate her that much. She was not all that bad.

"Okay. I see. I think I know now." Patricia lowered her eyes and gave a short, bitter smile. Then she turned around, walked away from Tom and didn't even look back. Her face was determined.

Tom snorted and pursed his lips, shaking his head. He didn't try to stop Patricia. Why should he? She could leave if she wanted. After all, this was what he wanted, wasn't it?

Patricia waited till she was out the door. As soon as it closed behind her, she didn't hold back her tears as they began streaming down her face. No matter how tough and strong she was before, she was not prepared to take Tom's hurtful words. Tom's coldness was like a knife that cut her heart open, causing her so much pain.

Winter mornings were always extremely cold. As a strong wind blew, Patricia put her arms around herself, trying to stay warm. She then realized that she had forgotten to take her coat with her when she hurriedly walked out. But she didn't plan to go back for it. If she did, Tom would think that she had left the coat intentionally giving her a reason to go back. No, she had more pride than that.

The corners of her lips pursed into a bitter smile. She raised her head and looked around. To her surprise, it was the same place where she startled Tom on purpose. But things had changed quickly as the days passed. The place was the same, but the feelings were not. Actually it had become the opposite now.

She walked home alone. Maybe because it was still early in the morning that there weren't many people on the street. There weren't many cars either. All this made Patricia feel colder and even more lonesome.

At this moment, she missed Leena the most. She missed the days when she and Leena would go out and have fun without a care in the world. But Leena was not in the country now. Here she was, alone and crying over a man who would never love her back. She had never considered herself a fragile woman at all. But now she admitted that even a tough and carefree woman like her also had her moments of vulnerability.

"That's all right. I was busy too. Besides, this is not the first time that I have come to Paris. You have nothing to be sorry for." Leena was even more mature than she was before. Though she was still very young, her actions and choice of words showed how much she had grown and developed. Yes, she still had her childish moments, sometimes. But she knew how to better communicate now.

"You are right. But I still feel like a bad friend. Well, how's work been? You have finished it all, right?" Gerard stared at her with curious eyes. Ever since he decided to let go of Leena in his heart, he felt much more comfortable and more at ease. Because now he knew that there was someone in Leena's life who could take care of her better than him. Letting go of her was not an easy decision to make, but it was one of the best that he had ever done. Now he could see Leena as a true friend and still care about her. And he no longer had the same feelings he had for her before. Feelings that could hinder their good friendship.

"That's right! I'm glad that I got to finish it all in time," she said proudly. "Now, I can go home without any worries tomorrow," she added. The corners of Leena's lips curled into a beautiful smile just thinking of being back in Kevin's arms. She was excited and couldn't wait to go back. She missed her husband too much. And now, she could finally see him again.
