Chapter 985 The Hostility From ire (Part One)
The only reaction Leena did in response to ire''s dislike was to purse her lips a little. She did not
even feel hurt. Just as what Kevin said, she was ire''s sister-inw, which suggested that she was a
senior to ire. Even if she was actually younger than her, she should be generous and should not get
angry with the woman because she was Kevin''s sister. Plus, she was not in S City. She wasn''t the
princess here but instead a daughter-inw of another family.
"Leena, keep up." Kevin felt a bit sorry because ire separated them. He turned his head and looked
at Leena to remind her to catch up. It was only after he saw that Leena wasn''t showing any signs of
unhappiness that he felt his chest relieved.
"Let''s go! Kevin. It''s just a small ce. She won''t get lost as an adult," ire pouted. She really hated it
when her elder brother cared for Leena. Many girls had their vision of Prince Charming. ire was no
exception. For her, Prince Charming was no other than her elder brother whom she had grown up with.
Kevin was handsome, not to mention, heroic. He had been her idol for all her life and now suddenly,
here came another woman, his wife. How could she ept his wife easily? Leena was nothing but an
outsider to her.
"She''s right, Kevin. Don''t worry about me. Let''s hurry up and go back!" A slight smile showed on
Leena''s lips. There was no ground for her to be angry at ire. A younger sister would always like to
stay with her elder brother. They shared the same blood and family. Plus, they hadn''t seen each other
for a while, thus, it was understandable for ire to be clingy with Kevin. Those excusesforted
Leena. There was no need for her to take this situation seriously. She was also like ire whenever
she was with Duke but Belinda had never shown any unhappiness about it. She would be too narrow-
minded if she would feel ufortable with her sister-inw.

ire felt as if she was bigger than her body as she seeded in setting the two apart. Yes, she did it
deliberately. God knew how many times she had rolled her eyes in her mind upon seeing how Kevin
cared for Leena tenderly. She really hated it. Leena might be Kevin''s wife but that didn''t mean that she
would not crash her.
The three finally reached the house with their own thoughts in minds. Leena was smiling sweetly
though she was silently upset. She had been using all her strength to keep her smile looking natural.
She should or else they would know that she was faking it. Poor Leena! She had never encountered
anything as hard before.
"You are back. Good. Go and wash your hands. It''s time for dinner." Shannon Long was an amiable
woman. She was both elegant and graceful, which made her deserve her title as an officer''s wife. She
was simply a breath of brilliance and dignity.
"Yes! I''m sorry, Mom. I wasn''t able to help with all the stuff." A sweet smile cracked Leena''s lips. She
liked it when Shannon looked at her with such a gentle expression.
"Hey, never mind it! You have just arrived here, thus, you''re supposed to go around the ce and get
familiar with the environment first. Plus, young people nowadays don''t enjoy the kitchen!" Shannon
expressed her point of view with an understanding nod. For her, these days youngsters were usually
too delicate to even care about kitchen things. Her daughter was an excellent live example.
"What are you doing here?" A solid voice suddenly boomed from behind and made Leena
automatically tremble. It was Nathan. He looked so strict and aggressive with how he carried himself.
This wasn''t her first time seeing someone as such. Edward''s father was a good example. It was just
that she wasn''t afraid of Edward''s father because he was their family friend.
"Dad, you scared me! Don''t speak in such a loud voice, please." ire finally let go of Kevin''s arm and
fled to her father to ask for attention.
"You little girl. What did you do? Why are you scared of me?" Then just like magic, Nathan''s voice went
a lot gentler upon talking with his beloved daughter. It was a bold disy of how much he adored ire
so much.
"Daddy, I didn''t do anything! If I shout loudly from your behind, probably you will feel more scared than
me," The youngdy pursed her lips and argued for herself. She knew her father loved her the most
and would not get angry with her.
"Don''t you know who your father is? I won''t be easily scared by you. All right. Let''s go for dinner and
stop being talkative." The aged man shook his head helplessly and walked to the dining table. ire
was his little baby princess and he doted on her so much. There was no way he would reject any
chance to spoil her.
"Let''s go, Leena. I''ll guide you to the washroom." Leena was totally frozen when Kevin imed her
hand and took her to the ground floor''s restroom.
"Kevin, I thought your father is always serious with everything. I didn''t expect what I saw back there."
She was passive as Kevin led her. She was just so puzzled about her father-inw thus she couldn''t
help asking.
"Yes. Only when he talks to ire though. He never really smiles like that with others." Kevin replied as
he switched the hot water carefully. He''d already got used to it. He had been seeing that kind of scene
ever since he was a child. There was nothing special about it.
"Is he strict with you?" The woman cocked her head a little. There was an unanticipated sadness
creeping on her chest by the thought that Kevin must''ve grown up taking all the me while his sister
was being treated warmly.
"Of course. Didn''t you see it? All right! It''s done. Let''s go now." Leena knew that Kevin was not the kind
who would behave gently to any women. Thus, she felt touched with how he was taking care of her.
She should probably stop being sad. She was the lucky one after all.
Everyone was already settled and ready on their seats when Leena and Kevin came into the dining
room. They were the only ones missing. Undoubtedly, they caught everyone''s attention and Leena felt
how the atmosphere surrounding them oddly changed.
"I''m sorry to have kept everyone waiting for long." Leena was feeling awkward with how everyone was
looking at them but still managed to apologize. She had always been a well-behaved woman who was
born and raised up in a decent family. She was a beloved princess who grew in elegance and grace
after all.
"It''s alright. Take a seat, please! Leena, don''t be so polite with us. It will make me feel distant.
Remember, you are our daughter-inw. It makes you a member of our family. Take it easy, my dear."
Shannon looked at Leena with gentle eyes. She was curious about how Leena''s family raised her to be
such a well-behaved and excellent child. ire was clearly left behind, be it about manners or talking.
"Yes. I see. Thank you, Mom." Leena was a cheerful woman. However, she chose to hide her true
personality before the Gu family. She had be a quiet girl. She looked so gentle and soft that
people would find it hard to resist her sweet smile.
