Chapter 1037 Searching For Leena (Part One)


    "Ohe off it, woman. When do I do that? I never think of my family as soldiers. Don''t just use me


    of stuff -- find a real reason to criticize me." Despite that Nathan was defending himself, he could not


    help but lower his voice at the sight of Shannon''s stare. His bad temper was restrained a bit. He knew it


    was not a good idea to quarrel with his wife. She''d give as good as she got.


    "Don''t try to change the subject. Tell me everything. What the hell happened at home while I was out?"


    As the hostess of this family, Shannon absolutely had the right to know everything happened here. She


    was not afraid of Nathan at all. She knew his temper, and how far to push him. She could get away with


    a lot since he would never hit her.


    "You can take your time and discuss it here! I''m going out to find Leena," Kevin said and then started to


    walk outside. However, he failed. He was caught by Shannon immediately after he said that. His


    mother was agile.


    "Wait! What did you say? Leena''s not here?" Shannon was surprised. Indeed, she had a strange


    feeling when she got back in. Now she grew more confused. Why was Leena not home? Wasn''t she


    staying with Kevin?

    "No, she''s not! Dad scolded her and drove her away. I''ve been looking for her for about two hours. But I


    haven''t found her and have no clue where she''s at all," said Kevin in frustration. He did not try to hide


    the fact from his mother. He knew clearly that his mom would be of great help if he wanted to get out of


    here now. Only his mother could deal with his father in these kinds of situations.


    "What? Do you mean Leena is missing? Have you sent someone to find her? It''s her first time in the


    capital city. She is not familiar with the ce at all. Hopefully, nothing bad''s happened to her," Shannon


    said worriedly. She was anxious so much that she only heard part of Kevin''s words, ignoring the phrase


    "scolded her and drove her away."


    "No, I can''t find her at all. She won''t answer no matter how many times I call her. I''ve already searched


    the city once but there''s no trace at all. I don''t know where she''d be." Kevin''s brows knitted tightly. He


    wondered whether he should call Duke and the others to get some clues such as whether they had


    houses here in the capital city. At the very least, they might have some ideas. With their help it would


    be much easier for him to locate Leena.


    "What happened? Why isn''t she here? Did you guys fight?" Shannon asked in anger, ring at Kevin.


    This was the only possible reason she could think of as to why Leena took off. She thought Kevin must


    have made Leena really angry. However, as a matter of fact, there was someone else who was


    responsible for it. Shannon would never have guessed who it was.


    "No, we didn''t. Mom. Didn''t you hear me? I told you Dad scolded her and drove her away," Kevin felt


    helpless now. Why did his mother choose to hear parts of his words and ignore the important


    information at a crucial time? He had to exin it again.


    "Oh! I get it. I''m just too worried. My brain''s not working too well now. But what on earth did your father


    do?" Shannon shot a look at shifty-eyed Nathan. Something was off about him. Did he tell Leena that


    he didn''t like her because he didn''t want to be closely connected with a business family?


    "Mom, give me a break. Are you sure you''re trying to fix a problem? I think you''re just here to make


    trouble." Kevin twisted the corners of his mouth heavily. He told her clearly that his father drove Leena


    away. Why did she just put a deaf ear to it?


    "Oh, I get it. I''m really too confused just now. But let''s not y the me game now. The most


    important thing now is to find Leena. Nathan, send your men to find Leena. I don''t want her to be hurt."


    Shannon was also from a political family. She immediately calmed down and started taking charge.


    "Nonsense! The army protects the homnd and defends the country. How could you ask me to send


    my men to deal with a personal issue?" Nathan stared at her with his eyes opening widely. Why were


    they so anxious? Leena just left the house. It was nothing terrible. She woulde back sooner or


    "Mom, forget it. I''ll go and find her myself!" Kevin knew his father well. He realized he could not expect


    that his father would be so kind as to send his men out to search for her. It would be in vain. So he half-


    walked, half-jogged out of the room. Time was important and he did not want to waste it arguing with


    his father on this.


    "So that''s your final answer? You won''t send your men out to help?" Shannon stared at Nathan and


    asked him in a warning tone. He had driven Leena away, but she did not me him for it. Now there


    was an emergency: Leena was nowhere to be found and she asked him to give her a hand. How could


    he sit by and refuse to help?


    "It''s impossible for me to send my men. I''m not to use them in personal matters," Nathan said sternly.


    He refused her again. His men were soldiers who fought for the country, not for him or his family. He


    could not send his men to do everything, especially the private things.


    "Fine. Now that you won''t lend a hand, I won''t beg you anymore. I still have my parents. I can ask them


    to help," Shannon said, gritting her teeth. Why was he so stubborn? He always did things like this and


    was never flexible. That was why he always offended people and couldn''t get along with them. Now, he


    made her angry and offended her.


    "Knock yourself out. I still won''t do it. I have my principles," Nathan insisted. He wasn''t worried about


    Leena''s safety when all this started. But he was now feeling a bit anxious. ''I can thank my worrywart


    wife and son for that, '' he thought.


    However, he grew angry again when he thought of Leena''s unreasonable behavior. He steeled his


    nerves and was determined not to help.


    "Fine! Then you can stay with your principles for the rest of your life! If we can find Leena, then fine; but


    if we can''t find her, you''re going to face the consequences. That is not a threat, that''s a promise!"


    Shannon warned. She shot an angry nce at him and then walked out. Their daughter-inw was


    missing. He could stay in his study but she could not. She had to help to find Leena.
