Chapter 483 The Dowry Was The Whole Property Of The Company (Part Two)


    Cynthia reached her hand and slicked back Daisy''s hair. Such a gentle move gave Daisy a familiar


    feeling. Edward also liked to twiddle with her hair, Daisy realized this habit was inherited from his


    mother''s tenderness. No matter how much he rejected her mother''s love, his cold heart had already


    been melted by this love. Blood is thicker than water, the saying goes, and this seemed to hold true


    now.


    The leaves on the trees by the side of the road moved with the gentle breeze, like mischievous spirits


    dancing wantonly. Kevin drove fast along this road. He felt anxious about what Daisy had said to him


    this afternoon. He had thought to call Leena to show that he cared, but he always got a busy line when


    he called.


    He licked his chapped lips caused by the dry weather in the autumn, his eyebrows furrowing deeper.


    He could have gotten off work earlier. But he was dyed by some urgent affair. This was ordinary as a


    soldier and Kevin couldn''t do anything about it. He actually had no time at his disposal.


    It only took half an hour for Kevin to arrive at his apartment, he usually would spend an hour in traffic.


    Obviously he drove very fast. He took a deep breath in front of the door. He had thought to ring the bell,


    but he paused before pressing the button. He gave up on the idea and took the key out of his briefcase.


    He had imagined that at the moment he opened the door, he would see a sweet scene as Leena would

    smile gracefully at him under the soft light in surprise. It was his turn to be surprised, for when he


    opened the door, what embraced him wasplete darkness in the house.


    He turned on the light in doubt, the whole room was lit up immediately. He nced around the room


    with his sharp eyes. But he didn''t find Leena anywhere. His thick eyebrows furrowed deeply. He


    hurriedly ran to the bedroom on the upstairs, but what was waiting for him was also silent darkness


    there. A sense of uneasiness rose in him.


    Kevin anxiously ran into the bathroom, but found no one. He took out his cellphone and dialed the


    familiar number. What he heard was still the busy tone. He helplessly turned around and went back


    downstairs. He was thinking about looking for Leena at her family''s mansion. But he had to face Duke''s


    ice-cold face again. And he was not sure Leena would be there.


    At the moment when Kevin tried to open the door and go out, the door suddenly flung open. Leena''s


    beautiful and graceful face appeared. Looking at Kevin''s handsome face so closely, Leena became


    bbergasted for a moment. But soon she regained herposure and weed him with a broad


    smile.


    "When did youe home? I thought that you might stay at the military base tonight. So I went out to


    have a walk. I didn''t prepare dinner." What Leena said was true, because except for the keys, there


    was nothing in her hands.


    "Is your cellphone a decoration for you?" When Kevin saw Leena, he felt surprised. But remembering


    that he could never reach her through the phone whenever he urgently needed to find her, he became


    very annoyed and uttered the harsh words in desperation. Last time when she went abroad, he couldn''t


    reach her because she had left her phone in the car. But what about this time? What was the reason


    behind it? Why was she always careless about everything?


    "I... I''m sorry. I forgot to bring the cellphone along. And I''m not a prophet with ability to predict that you


    will call me. Sorry. Next time I''ll consult my crystal ball." Tears began to well up in her eyes. Leena felt


    hurt by his harsh words. She bit her lip firmly, trying to hold back her tears. She hurriedly walked past


    Kevin and ran upstairs.


    Kevin was dumbstruck by Leena''s sudden move, then he followed her steps and tried to catch up with


    her. But he was toote. When he got to the top of the stairs, Leena shut the door in his face and


    locked it. She moved quite swiftly, as if she had been trained to do all these movements from birth.


    Kevin shook his head in helplessness. He realized that his tone was too harsh as soon as he finished


    saying it. But before he could offer an apology, Leena lost her cool and stalked off. Even he wanted to


    remedy the situation, he had already lost the chance.


    Leaning against the door, Le slowly copsed to the ground, the long suppressed tears streaming


    down from her eyes like broken strings of beads. Wasn''t her cellphone a decoration in Kevin''s eyes?


    When did he ever take the initiative to call her before? And when did he care about her?


    She stupidly waited for him the whole night yesterday, because she still had a glimmer of hope for him.


    But she had already be numb and desperate after waiting for him so long till now. From the


    moment when she came back home from the hospital, she had imagined numerous scenes how she


    could face him when he came back. But he didn''t show up the whole night, and worse, he didn''t even


    call.


    Okay, he was a soldier, and probably there were cases when it was not convenient for him to make a


    call. For that she would not take offense and it was forgivable. But from yesterday night till tonight, she


    didn''t eat anything. She had tried hard to persuade herself to go out to rx a bit, because she worried


    that her mind would explode with nervous tension. but she didn''t think that she''d be confronted with


    Kevin''s harsh interrogation the moment she walked in the door. And this finally led to the burst of her


    emotions which had umted in her heart for awhile now. It had been a long timeing.
