Chapter 1039 Searching For Leena (Part Three)


    "What kind of tone I should talk to her in when I am so worried and anxious now? You tell me."


    Shannon frowned. Wasn''t she her daughter? Why did she try to shield Louisa, an outsider from


    consequences?


    "ire. It''s okay. Don''t fight with Auntie because of me," said Louisa calmly. She pretended to be


    generous as if she swallowed an insult.


    "Louisa, don''t be angry. My mom''s not usually like this. I don''t know what happened to her today to


    make her so aggressive." There was nothing ire could do butfort Louisa. She looked at


    Shannon with sad eyes, as if she were ming her mother for not behaving kindly to her friend. She


    felt so awkward.

    "Don''t worry. I won''t be angry," Louisa lowered her head and replied obediently. No one could see her


    cold and evil eyes hid by her hair.


    "Yeah! That''s really generous of you, Louisa. Huh! Unlike somebody else, who ran away from home


    and made others worry for her," ire snorted through her nose. She didn''t like Leena. Now she hated


    her more because Louisa was scolded by her mother because of her.


    "You''re really a piece of work, you know that ire? I hope that no one takes advantage of you. I hope


    you never know how it feels." Shannon shook her head and sighed. She hoped that her daughter


    would find her way out of trouble when that day came.


    Louisa raised her head immediately and took a quick nce at Shannon. Did she figure out her secret?


    Why else could she have drawn such a conclusion?


    "Mom, what''s wrong with you today? How could you say that?" ire sputtered and stamped her feet.


    Leena was the root cause who stirred up all the chaos. Now her mother was even cursing her! ire


    hoped Leena would nevere back now that she had run away! She suffered even when Leena


    wasn''t around.


    "Anyway, take care of yourself!" Shannon did not believe that Louisa was a simple and innocent


    woman. ire might end up with a world of trouble should she keep taking Louisa at face value. Louisa


    was up to no good. Shannon couldn''t make up ire''s mind for her, but at least she could warn her.


    "Mom, don''t be so long-winded! Aren''t you going out to find Leena? Why are you still here?" ire said


    and reached out to push Shannon outside. Well, she would never have said hi and introduced Louisa if


    she had known her mom favored Leena that much.


    "ire, don''t push me outside. Seriously! I haven''t changed my shoes yet." Shannon had no option but


    to shake her head helplessly. She knew very well that it was not an easy job to change ire''s mind


    and get her prepared for the real world in a few days. She changed her shoes and then walked out in a


    hurry. Time was limited. She had been wasting too much time talking with them.


    This time, Kevin widened the. He really wanted to find her. He even swung by the ce they had


    been in the morning, expecting that Leena might be there. She said she liked the beautiful scenery


    there, didn''t she? However, his efforts were for naught. When he was about to sink into despair, his


    phone suddenly rang. He was so happy that he answered the phone immediately without checking the


    calling ID. He thought it must be Leena.


    "Hey! Leena. Where are you? Stay there. I''ll go to pick you up," Kevin answered the phone in a hurried


    tone. His voice was even trembling because he was desperate to know where she was now.


    "Kevin, it''s me. What? Isn''t Leena with you now?" Duke could not help frowning. He called Kevin


    because Leena wouldn''t answer her phone. But Leena wasn''t even with Kevin judging from his words.


    What happened?


    "Ah! Hi Duke!" Kevin was disappointed. It was not his missing girl who called him. He felt very


    frustrated.


    "Yeah, it''s me. Is Leena super busy now? Why didn''t she take my call?" One hand holding the phone


    and the other in his pocket, Duke stood beside the window and watched the traffic leisurely streaming


    along the street.


    "Oh, she probably didn''t hear the phone ring! I''ll tell her to call you backter. Sounds good?" Kevin


    always had concerns about his brother-inw. Mr. Cold was always high-strung, despite his nickname.


    He decided not to tell Duke that Leena ran away from home. Duke was in S city and could do nothing


    but worry in vain should he know about it. What was more, Leena probably went out for a walk to get


    some fresh air. She mighte back home soon.


    "Yeah! Make sure to bring her to Edward''s house when you get a free moment! I hear he has a


    beautiful garden. I imagine she''d love to see it. Sounds rxing, man." Duke offered the suggestion


    because he was worried that Leena might get stressed out staying with Kevin''s family.


    "Edward has a house here? Whoa! Why didn''t you tell me before now?" Duke''s advice lit light-bulbs up


    in his head. A ray of hope was rekindled in his heart. Was his wife, the woman he''d been seeking for a


    while, hiding at Edward''s ce the whole time?


    "Yeah he does. Leena knows about it too. What? She never mentioned it to you?" Duke turned around


    and walked to his desk, phone in hand. He sat down and started checking his files. He remembered


    that he had written down the address somewhere and wondered if he could find it. If he couldn''t find it,


    he thought he could ask Edward directly. He needed to call him anyway to let him know so that he


    could inform the housekeeper. Little did he know that Leena was already there, and Edward was


    making sure she was well looked after.
