Chapter 997 A Wonderful Meal (Part Two)


    "Nobody? Really? So you''re not talking about me?" Kevin sat down hesitantly. Now he was onto


    something. So they were talking about him just now!


    "We''re not talking about you! What? Do you have a persecutionplex or something?" Leena


    pinched Kevin''s hand slightly under the table to get him to change the subject. It was an awkward topic


    for both of them.


    "I get it. I won''t keep asking anymore. Let''s eat! After that, I''ll show you around so you can see what


    this city has to offer. It''s really beautiful this time of year." Kevin had nned to take her out even if his


    mother hadn''t made the suggestion. He wasn''t around her much after their marriage because he was


    either in the office or gone for training. Now they had the time. He was on vacation, and of course


    wanted to spend more time with her to develop a deeper bond. And there was nothing like a little


    sightseeing to do just that.


    "Pfftt! Mr. Good Husband will do whatever his wife says," ire sneered. The more Kevin acted


    tenderly with his wife, the more ufortable ire became. She was the real princess in this family,


    not Leena! But now there was nobody else in her brother''s eyes except Leena.


    "ire, focus on your breakfast, please. Why are you always so rude?" Shannon shot a stare at ire.


    How impolite she was! Kevin and Leena were a couple and they were close to each other. But why did


    ire always try to get in between them?


    "I get it, Mom. I was just talking out of my butt. I didn''t mean it. You''re being unfair. You constantly get


    on to me for every little thing. Why don''t you concentrate on Kevin? He hasn''t been home long. Enjoy


    it!" ire pursed her lips unhappily. She felt that her mother was constantly harping on her, all because


    of Leena. That was not fair.


    "I don''t need to worry about Kevin. He does well enough on his own. And he''s polite. But you? You


    don''t listen to me at all no matter how many times I tell you." Shannon felt like giving up on her


    daughter. It seemed like all of this was in vain if there was only one person trying to teach ire


    manners while her father defended her.


    "Anyway, you''re constantly on my back. Why are you always bitching at me?" ire shouted. She


    stared straight at Leena as she said this. Yes, this woman was the reason why she was unpopr in


    this family all of a sudden. ire wished desperately that Leena would just disappear.


    "If you behaved yourself, there wouldn''t be any reason for me to get onto you." Shannon cast a


    sidelong look at ire. She did not want to scold ire either. It was just that what ire did and said


    were really impolite and offensive in her eyes. Shannon was really unhappy with the way her daughter


    acted.


    "Mom, no one''s perfect, okay? That includes me," ire lowered her head and murmured. Obviously,


    her voice was not as loud as it was before. She did not want to be harangued by her mother again.


    "This is a wonderful meal, Leena. Did you make all the dishes?" Shannon could tell right from wrong. If


    someone acted nicely, she would bevish with her praise. If someone acted poorly, she would jump


    on them and tell them how wrong they were. She did what any rational person would do.


    "Yes! I''m d you like them. I was afraid they wouldn''t taste very good." Leena smiled shyly and took a


    look at Nathan anxiously to check whether he showed any dissatisfaction. She did not want to leave a


    bad impression on him.


    "They were really good. You are so young but you can cook. That''s rare nowadays," Shannon sighed.


    Leena was indeed a good example, whether as a wife or a daughter-inw. Shannon couldn''t help


    feeling disappointed and frustrated when she thought of ire. She and Nathan did not teach their


    daughter well so that she became such a pigheaded girl now.


    "That''s why I married her!" Obviously, Kevin was just teasing. He had a grin on his face that told you


    that. However, different people had different interpretations. ire gloated at his words while Leena got


    her feelings hurt. He married her because of her cooking? She could not help feeling sad and bitter


    because of it. Were there no more feelings in Kevin''s heart for her? Poor Leena. She was stuck again.


    Leena felt extremely ufortable the whole morning after they finished breakfast. So she did not go


    upstairs to return to her room. Instead, she went to the garden outside alone to take a walk. It was a


    small gardenpared with the one in Leng House. Yet it was big enough to walk around in.


    She raised her eyes to look past the garden at the grass and small trees. She felt much better at the


    sight of the lively scene. She didn''t expect to see such a ce full of natural green here. It refreshed


    her a bit.


    "Leena, there''s a car in the garage. Did you drive it back here?" ire asked in an arrogant tone. She


    was dressed in some trendy threads. She must be ready to go out.


    "You mean the Quattro?" Leena replied, after pausing for a second. She decided not to pay any


    attention to ire''s attitude towards her.

    "Yes, the Quattro. Where is the key?" Still, ire kept her arrogant airs. In her eyes, that car must be


    Kevin''s car.


    "I don''t have the key. Check with Lee. He might have it. Or Kevin. I''m not sure," Leena answered


    honestly. She had no clue where the key was. She just walked into the house as soon as they got out


    yesterday. As for who pocketed the key, she did not know.


    "Why do you know nothing at all? Well, forget it, I''ll go and find him myself." ire rolled her eyes at


    Leena and then looked askance at her. But soon, she concluded that it was understandable that Leena


    knew nothing about a key. Anyway, the car was not hers. ire thought so.


    "What are you looking for? Leena, are you done? Let''s go!" Kevin had no time to take a shower


    because he went to the kitchen to prepare the breakfast as soon as he finished his morning exercise.


    So he was cleaning himself off just now after they finished the breakfast. He went downstairs as soon


    as he was finished.


    "Really? We''re going out?" Leena asked, confused at Kevin''s suggestion. It wasn''t really appropriate,


    right? Wasn''t it his dad''s birthday today? There must be tons of things to be preparedter. As the


    daughter-inw, it wasn''t right for her to go out.


    "Yes, it''s Dad''s birthday today! But we can still go out, as long as wee back around noon or so."


    Kevin very well knew why Leena was puzzled and what she was worried about. So he exined to her


    carefully.
