Chapter 1012 A Henpecked Husband (Part Three)


    "Nonsense. Of course, I know they won''t bite me. I''m just worried they might say a thing or two." The


    introduced to me minutes ago, '' her mind kept reeling.


    "Don''t worry! Everyone here is easy-going except for my aunt. She can be a little harsh." Kevin held


    her hand tofort her. He had always thought that his aunt was as serious as his father. It was really


    weird how the woman ended up liking his naughty sister, ire, so much.


    "Um! Everything will be okay for me as long as I don''t do any mistakes, right?" Innocence and doubt


    were all over Leena''s beautiful face. She pretended to be mature in front of ire but she doubted it if


    she could do the same in front of so many elders. After all, she was just a little girl.


    "Correct. Just follow me." Kevin grabbed the chance. He had set up something for her and what she


    said was the perfect cue.


    "All right. Got it." Leena''s answer was spontaneous. It took a little while before realization hit her and


    made her jaw drop. Did she just fall into Kevin''s trap? Not following him meant getting herself busy as


    she tried to stay away from everyone. On the other hand, following him would mean letting him touch


    her. Shoot! It was indeed a trap!


    Not many people came to celebrate Nathan''s birthday. Most of the guests were people who had close


    rtionships with their family, and two of them were Nathan''s formerrades. They were not difficult


    people to get along with. It was just that Leena wasn''tfortable with the fact that they were all


    officials.


    It was Nathan''s interest with antiques that made Leena give him a painting work from her dad''s


    collection. She couldn''t think of anything better to give Nathan as a birthday gift.


    "Dad, we wish you good health and a lot of happiness. Here is the present from Kevin and me." After


    dinner, Leena gave the present to Nathan with a sweet smile on her face.


    "It''s the painting of Wu Tao Tse! Hasn''t it been lost for many years? Where did you get it?" Nathan was


    suddenly in bliss upon seeing the gift. He totally forgot hisments about her family for a while.


    "Oh! This is from my dad''s collection that he has collected for years. He knows you like it, so he gives it


    to you as a gift." That was a lie. That painting was not a gift from Leena''s father. She heard from Kevin


    that Nathan liked paintings so she tried everything she knew to get it from her own dad.


    "Is it? Your father likes paintings, too! It seems that your father is my soul mate." A smile finally cracked


    Nathan''s lips. He inspected the painting for a while and it was evident on his face that he appreciated it


    lot. Everybody knew it was a priceless antique! Never had he expected that Leena''s father would give it


    to him as a gift.


    "Yes! My dad''s interested in collecting historical things while travelling." Relief flooded Leena upon


    seeing how her father-inw liked her gift. All the efforts and words she had spent in wooing her dad

    were worth it. She couldn''t imagine how she would feel if all her efforts on that gift just got to waste.


    Little did anyone know that she had spent hours and hours of long distance call with her dad for that


    gift.


    "I would like to meet your father after you say this. After all, it''s not easy to find a soul mate!" The joyful


    smile on Nathan''s facested for a while. It was both the happiest and sincerest smile Leena had seen


    on him since they met. She never saw him smile like that even with ire.


    "Um! I''ll definitely have the two of you meet once he is back." Speaking of this, Leena suddenly


    remembered that her family and Kevin''s family had never met each other yet since they got married.


    Wasn''t that just too improper?


    "Good! Good! You should let your father know how much I appreciate his gift. I didn''t expect him to give


    me something so valuable." Nathan said as he rolled that painting and then put it aside carefully. Both


    of his eyes were gleaming with excitement.


    "Yes, I will," replied the youngdy with a smile. Her father-inw''s reaction made her see another side


    of him. Nathan wasn''t as harsh as she first thought. He also had his tender side on some asions.


    "Dad, have you checked it clearly? Perhaps it''s fake!" Displeasure was in ire''s voice. She didn''t


    want her father to look favorably upon Leena.


    "What are you talking about, ire? How could you be so rude?" That yell from Nathan came as a


    surprise. This was the very first time that he had snapped on her daughter in front of people. He had


    always loved and spoiled ire too much. His yell was so loud that everybody turned their heads to


    their direction. Nheless, they all understood why Nathan went mad.


    "Dad, I just gave you a reminder, in case you were deceived." ire said as she red at Leena. She


    med Leena for giving a painting to her father as a gift. How could that present made her dad scold


    her so publicly?


    "You little girl, how could you be so immature? Just think about it. How could your sister-inw deceive


    your father with a fake painting?" It was Shannon who broke through the tension as she poked ire''s


    head. She couldn''t believe the words that her child had said. She just vulgarly embarrassed Leena in


    front of many people. She couldn''t tell how ire''s mind was working anymore!
