Chapter 990 I Care (Part Three)


    Leena heaved a sigh. She knew clearly that she was a daughter-inw in this family. Although her


    mother-inw was very good to her and her father-inw seemed friendly and wouldn''t purposely make


    difficulties for her, ire''s hostility was enough to make her heart hurt silently. It was something that


    she didn''t expect. She might have had herself ready for this day but then her strength melted as she


    faced it.


    "What are you thinking about? You seem to be miles away." Kevin wrapped Leena''s waist with his arms


    as he spoke. The sweet act made Leena''s sadness vanish instantly as she pressed herself harder in


    his warm embrace.


    "Nothing. Have you finished?" The corners of her lips lifted as she held her helplessness back. She


    was suddenly smiling without turning to Kevin.


    "Yeah. Are you homesick?" The man rested his chin on Leena''s head and sniffed her mildly fragrant


    hair. This girl had brought many surprises to him. He had always thought that she would cause a lot of


    troubles because of her young age and he would have to clean up her mess. She had proved him


    wrong though. She was different from how he perceived her. She was beyond anything he had


    expected.


    "No. It''s just that I haven''t seen my dad for a long time, so I miss him." Leena hesitated before she


    rested her hands just above Kevin''s. It felt nice to feel how warm he was.


    "Is he travelling somewhere again?" Kevin liked his father-inw, and his father-inw also liked him


    and spoke highly of him. Although Duke treated him as an enemy and always embarrassed him, he felt


    warm as his father-inw sincerely took him as a family member.


    "Yes. He has gone to Chicago. He was busy with work and didn''t have time to travel when he was


    younger. That is the reason why he wants to travel the world and experience a lot of new things while


    he is still healthy." Thoughts of her father made Leena''s smile wider. She once proposed to travel with


    her father but was rejected. He said that he wasn''t that old to need herpany. How would he enjoy


    twilight romances when he was traveling with her? Leena giggled at this thought. That was his show-off


    reason but she doubted that her dad would want to date someone else. He was too in love with her


    mother to do that.


    "Don''t worry. Your dad is strong. He will have a good time even without ourpany." Kevin turned


    Leena to face him. He knew that Leena was just making excuses. She was depressed not because she


    missed her father but because ire humiliated her. It was sad that he couldn''t do anything about it.


    He was torn between his sister and the woman he loved. He didn''t want to upset either of them.

    Otherwise, he would only add fuel to the fire. He had to adopt a wait-and-see attitude before the


    situation escted to something more serious. He could only hope for Leena to win his sister''s heart


    using her deadly charm.


    "You''re right. I don''t worry about this. You know what? My brother has sent someone to secretly follow


    him. If something wrong happens to him, his secret guard will take care of him." Leena felt herself


    blush as Kevin watched her as if he was enchanted. She was easily affected by him and she couldn''t


    help but fall into the gentleness that he asionally showed.


    "That''s a bit odd. Isn''t your dad aware of it?" Kevin didn''t expect that Duke had sent someone to take


    care of Lloyd secretly. He really didn''t think that they worried about their dad at all.


    "I have no idea but since he doesn''t bring it up, we just assume that he doesn''t know." Leena felt so


    close to Kevin that she could even hear his heartbeat.


    "Maybe he has already known about it but he epts it to relieve you." Lloyd was a shrewd man. It


    was the reason why Kevin believed that he already had a clue that someone was following him. It was


    possible that the aged man was just pretending not to know anything to pamper his kids'' kind


    intentions.


    "Maybe. What did your dad talk with you in the study room?" Leena was sure that they talked about her


    but she wondered what it was about exactly.


    "Nothing important. Rx. We just discussed something in the army." In response, Kevin disyed a


    background. Leena''s family did business while he was a government official. There would be


    unnecessary misunderstandings as secret coboration between business owners and the government


    officials was strictly forbidden. Gossip was a fearful thing. Nathan was worried that Kevin''s career might


    be affected. However, a clear conscienceughed at false usation. Kevin wouldn''t do such things.


    From his observations, Duke had a very little contact with political figures, let alone coborated with


    them. He would bet his bottom dor that his army career wouldn''t be affected at any point.


    "Really?" Leena looked at Kevin with unbelieving eyes. It was easy for her to decipher that Kevin


    wasn''t saying everything based on his looks. His face was stiff when he left the study room. Thus, she


    subconsciously concluded that her father-inw disliked her.


    "Yeah. Don''t think too much." He embraced Leena tightly. He didn''t want to upset her and therefore he


    told her a white lie. Although his father didn''t like her now, he was positive that he would like this


    charming woman as much as he did as time went by.


    "Come on. Don''t try to fool me. I don''t like being fooled. Anyway, I don''t think you only talked about your


    work." Leena shot Kevin a reproachful pout. She didn''t believe him for a minute. Young as she was,


    she knew the ways of the world. The only thing that mattered was if she was willing to learn about


    these things or not.
