Chapter 831 The Woman I Want For The Rest Of My Life (Part One)


    "Aren''t Duke and Belinda back?" Kevin asked as he walked beside Lloyd. He assumed that Duke and


    Belinda must have had a lot of fun on their honeymoon trip. They went to and full of mystery, which


    boasted historic sites and rich cultural deposits with thousands of years'' worth of history. It was


    supposed to be refreshing for the soul, how could they not be happy there?


    "Not yet. They''ll probably be back in a few days. Thepany needs them. They can''t be away too


    long." Lloyd brought Kevin directly to the dining room, where Giselle was busy moving the dishes to the


    table from the kitchen. When she saw Kevin, she greeted him and said, "Good morning! Mr. Gu." Then


    she went back to work.


    "Yeah, such bigpanies can''t run smoothly without them." Kevin didn''t know much about doing


    business. But he knew that for such a bigpany like the Leng Group, it must have many business


    ns waiting to be approved every day. The work was just asplicated as the training they


    organized at the army base.


    "You''re right. Let''s drop the subject and eat. Want some wine?" Lloyd made Kevin sit down and


    proposed when he saw the wine cab.


    "No, thanks. I have to drive." Kevin immediately refused. Lee was not with him, so he couldn''t drink.


    Otherwise no one would drive his car back if he got drunk.


    "Fair enough. I get it. Safety first." He gestured at the food. "These are all Leena''s favorite dishes. I


    don''t know what you like, so I asked Giselle to prepare them. I hope you don''t mind," Lloyd said while


    wearing a smile. His manner was very different from Duke''s cold demeanor.


    "It''s okay, I''m not picky. Everything smells really good." Army life didn''t allow a man to be finicky. Even


    though he was a Major General, when he went to the canteen to eat, he ate the same food as the other


    soldiers did. There was no special treatment. Though there were chances to enjoy the privilege of high


    rank, he would never allow himself to do so. Much like Daisy, he didn''t like to be privileged. The military


    wasn''t some country club. It was in the business of preparing for war.


    "When Leena was fat before, she was also not very particr about food. She ate almost everything


    which came her way. Butter, in order to lose weight, she started eating only vegetables for a while.


    Over time, she became very careful about the food she ate. She rarely ate high-calorie food." Lloyd


    sighed. Strictly speaking, Leena wasn''t really fat. She was only plump. But she firmly thought that she


    wasughed at by others because of this. So she spent a lot of time on losing weight. Fortunately, her


    weight didn''t rebound. On the contrary, she became thinner and thinner. It made Lloyd worry about her.


    He wondered how she took care of herself since she left the house.


    "Was Leena really fat before?" Kevin looked at Lloyd, surprised. He couldn''t imagine Leena being


    plump. Her figure was so perfect now.


    "Not very fat actually. You know, girls, they all like to look pretty. So she went on a diet for some time,


    and exercised a lot. That was how she lost weight. She was very tenacious and stuck with it." Lloyd


    shook his head. Although Leena was capricious sometimes,pared to the daughters of other rich


    families, she was excellent, and finished what she started.


    "In fact, I think health is the most important thing. It doesn''t matter if you''re fat or not." In his eyes, most


    of the young girls now were too thin. They had ignored health itself in order to pursue a skinny look. So


    he didn''t agree with the idea of girls going on a diet only for the sake of losing weight.


    "Ah! Leena always seems very happy and cheerful in public, but in fact, she is quite sentimental in her


    heart. You''ll get this after you''ve been with her a long time." He got busy with work before and often


    ignored Duke and Leena. There was even a time when Leena was scared to be around him and they


    were estranged. And it took him a lot of effort to make here back to him, so they could be intimate


    once more.


    "Okay, I will keep this in mind and pay more heed to her." Kevin frowned. Like everyone else, he found


    Leena always being lovely and sweet around other people. But she seemed easily offended around


    him, just prickly like a hedgehog. She''d try her best to fight back if he said something she thought was


    hurtful, even if he didn''t mean it that way. The way she fought back was not to cause a scene, but to


    give him the cold shoulder, as if she didn''t care about him at all and he waspletely invisible to her.


    This was the thing that always made him feel helpless.


    "Haha! I believe you''ll get along with her after you know how to handle her temper. She''s a very simple


    girl when ites to love. You only have to be good to her and pay a little more attention to her, and


    she will love you back with all her heart." Lloyd heaved a sigh. He didn''t know whether it was a good


    thing for her to remain simple and innocent in the world of love.


    "Of course I will be good to her, and with all my love, nothing else. Because she is my wife, the woman


    I want for the rest of my life." Listening to Lloyd, Kevin pursed his lips. Why did it sound that Lloyd was


    giving him tips on how to deal with his own daughter?


    "You''re an honest man. It seems that I was right to choose you as my son-inw. Leena lost her mother


    when she was very young, I owe her in that regard. Now I''m trusting you with my daughter. I hope you


    can give her a happy life she wants. Take care of her, Kevin."


    At the mention of his wife who died early in their marriage, Lloyd felt heartbroken. He missed her very


    much. For all these years, he had remained single for the sake of the love for his deceased wife. More


    importantly, he didn''t want to find a stepmother to torture his children. You could see his emotion written


    in the lines on his face.


    "Dad, rest assured. I promise I will give her a happy life." He said this to Lloyd, but also to himself. He


    N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.


    was confident that he wouldn''t hurt Leena. But this confidence proved to be very vulnerable. Because


    in the near future, he would make Leena fall into the endless abyss of agony. No one could have seen


    thating.


    After dinner, Kevin yed a game of chess with Lloyd before he left. On his way back, he thought a lot


    about his marriage. He hadn''t mentioned his marriage to Leena to his family yet. He assumed that his


    father already knew, because he submitted the report about his marriage. But he didn''t know whether


    his father mentioned anything to his mother. Maybe the report never reached his father. But no matter


    what, they would be happy to see such a lovely and clever woman. It seemed that he had to bring


    Leena to visit his parents when she finished her thesis.


    Time flies. When Duke and Belinda bid good bye to the colorful city and came back home, it meant that


    their honeymoon trip drew to an close perfectly. On the first day back, he went to the office, and was


    surprised to find that Rachel was still with thepany. It suddenly came to him that he got too


    immersed in the happiness of their honeymoon; he had totally forgotten about Rachel.


    "Good morning, Duke!" Rachel shed a sweet smile, as if she had done nothing during his wedding


    ceremony.


    "Rachel, why are you still here?" Duke furrowed his brow. Even if he didn''t have time to ask her to quit


    her job and leave thepany, any woman who had self-esteem would not be so shameless to


    continue to stay here. What would she do next?


    "I am working here. What did you think I''d be doing? I''m the group leader of the sales department."


    Rachel wore a graceful smile the whole time they talked. She certainly knew what Duke wanted to tell


    her. But if she really left Leng Group, it wouldn''t be easy for her to find a satisfactory job. She made


    trouble on his wedding day. And though only few powerful entrepreneurs showed up, her reputation


    was tarnished. The news spread like wildfire, and everyone knew. No one would hire her after what she


    pulled. That much was certain.


    "Rachel, are you an idiot? You still think you can work here after what you pulled? After you caused


    that shitstorm on my wedding day? I really should fire you right here. Give me one good reason to keep


    you on." Duke ground his teeth. His good mood disappeared the moment he saw this woman.


    "Why can''t I stay with thepany? What the hell makes you think you can treat me like that? Or did


    you forget that we signed an employment contract?" Rachel smiled cunningly. This was why she


    behaved so arrogantly. She had the contract with thepany about her employment.


    "Huh, it''s only an employment contract. Thepany has the right to cancel it." Duke stared at her


    coldly and then walked quickly into the elevator. If she wanted to threaten him with the contract, she


    was too naive.
