Chapter 896 An Invitation To A Dinner Party (Part Three)
Cynthia''s fast movement surprised Daisy, but also touched her heartstring deeply. The concern shown
on Cynthia''s face, the soft touch on Daisy''s cheeks by her hands, and the anxiety expressed by her all
gave Daisy a strong feeling of family, of a mother''s love to her child. That was what a real family should
be: warm, sweet and encouraging. No matter what happened, someone would always be there, by
your side, to take care of you, help you, support you, and love you. After Daisy''s mother had passed
away, being driven out of the Ouyang''s, Daisy had felt like she belonged to nowhere in the world and
she had been drifting all alone on an endless ocean for so many years. Now, she finally had a family
that she could count on. She belonged here. There was also love and warmth from Cynthia, her
mother-inw, and Jonathan, her father-inw. Daisy was so grateful that they loved her as their own
daughter, and she also respected them as her own parents. Even though she didn''t really need a mask
to heal her sunburn, Daisy wouldn''t want to refuse Cynthia''s kindness. It was always nice and touching
to feel a mother''s selfless dedication. With her eyes welling up with tears, Daisy went upstairs to do her

wash as Cynthia had told her to. Besides, Daisy knew that Cynthia always meant what she said and
would do so as well, so she definitely couldn''t stand Daisy''s indifferent attitude to her own wounds.
Since they had settled Daisy''s unsettled self in this family, Daisy would like to ease Cynthia''s uneasy
feelings by simply obeying her words.
It was getting dark in S city while the sun was still shining high in Paris. Dialtones echoed throughout
Leena''s room. She checked the time difference and figured out that Kevin must be off work at this time.
So with some anticipation in her heart, she dialed his number in excitement.
"Hi, Leena! It''s me," said Kevin as he picked up the phone. Packing up the files on his desk, he was
about to go home when the call came in. He felt quite surprised that she would call him at this time, but
a feeling of happiness and sweetness came more strongly. This man was in love, and the love of his
life was calling him now. Her voice was the panacea for all his ills.
"Who are you?" asked Leena jokingly with a sudden yfulness rising from her heart. She was like a
small naughty girl again today, who wanted to tease Kevin a little. Looking at the airline ticket in her
hand, she was so happy that she didn''t even realize a big smile had found a home on her face.
"Oh? You don''t know who I am? Then why would you call me? Aren''t you afraid that I could easily eat
you up?" Kevin flirted back, also smiling in delight. He and Leena had kept in touch with each other for
awhile. Although they did nothing more than making the asional phone call, Kevin felt the tension in
their rtionship had loosened and they could talk to each other in a more casual manner now. It was
such a relief.
"Why should I be afraid? It''s not like you haven''t eaten me up before," Leena popped off immediately
before she could even think about her words and the meaning behind them. It wasn''t long after she
said this that she suddenly realized the implication she had made. She hastily tried to exin what she
actually meant to save face, still without careful consideration, so another awkward sentence was
uttered, "Um…Kevin, I didn''t mean that. What I meant was that we''ve done that sort of thing before. Oh
no! I just mean… Forget it! I keep digging a bigger hole. Take it how you want."
Leena regretted her words as soon as she said them aloud. Her exnation didn''t even make sense to
her and it definitely wouldn''t work, and it was making the situation even worse. Finally, she knew she
was never going to express this kind of stuff clearly. Her face blushing badly, she had to give up and
just stopped talking.
"Yeah, right! I''m sure you just remind me of something we have done, some kind of intimate
rtionship between us. So shall we, um… do that again?" replied Kevin yfully. It was so interesting
to tease Leena back like this. Talking in this way only made her cuter and more adorable. They had
been a legal couple for a while, but in order to help her get used to their marriage and stop feeling
anxious about him, he had never touched her or made love to her again. The only thing he had done
was some slight kissing when they both had feltfortable.
"That''s not what I meant! Kevin, listen to me!" interrupted Leena urgently. She felt so bad and helpless.
It was all her fault. Why did she even mention that to him?! She shouldn''t have said a single word
about that! Now it seemed like she was eager to have sex with him while she wasn''t even in the mood.
How frustrating!
"Okay, I''ll stop talking and listen to you. What do you want to tell me? When are youing back?"
asked Kevin as he grabbed his briefcase and walked out of his office. Leena had been gone quite a
while, and some strange feelings about her had been stirring inside him. He didn''t know why, but he felt
weird staying at his ce without her. It was too quiet. He could even hear his own breath. He began to
miss when she had lived there with him and made the atmosphere more lively at home.
"Well… I don''t know yet. Why? Do you miss me?" asked Leena. On one hand, she was nervous about
his answer. She wasn''t sure whether he missed her or not and she was afraid that he didn''t. On the
other hand, she was too shy to ask a man a question like this, especially when this man happened to
be someone she liked. She had never done that before. Anyway, it was lucky that they were just talking
on phone, so she didn''t need to hide her blushing cheeks from him. She would never want him to see
her embarrassment.
