Chapter 1082 The Affectionate Moment (Part One)


    "I just got in touch with her some time ago. Howe you speak of me and her as if we were old


    friends?" Kevin frowned in confusion. He would have forgotten about Louisa if she hadn''t tricked him to


    her birthday party that day.


    "What? I heard that you used to be lovers, though." ire was puzzled. Weren''t things like what she


    had been told?


    "What lovers? What are you thinking? I just met her a couple of times and that''s it." yfully, Kevin


    reached out and pushed her on the forehead. He wouldn''t have acted so naturally around Louisa If


    they were really old lovers.


    "Really? That''s it?" The youngdy ended up furrowing her eyebrows. She didn''t understand a thing.


    Why would Louisa lie to her?


    "Why ire? What else should it be? Okay, I am going upstairs to have a shower. I''ll leave you alone."


    Kevin stood up and was ready to leave. He decided not to stay any longer since ire didn''t want to


    tell him why she was mad anyway. Moreover, he had no interest in talking about Louisa at all.


    "Where is the study? I need theputer." A bad mood wasn''t enough for ire to forget her curiosity


    about the FX International Group. Thus, she decided to surf the Inte and learn about it amidst being


    low.


    "It''s upstairs. But you are only allowed to use the desktop. Do not touch myptop because there are a


    lot of important work-rted files on it." Uneasiness flooded Kevin even with the thought that his


    couldn''t afford an ident in regards to those.


    "Okay, okay. I got it. Gee, rx. I am not a spy. Why would I be interested in your files?" said ire as


    she jumped off the bed. Thedy had this mild case of being simple-minded and she couldn''t really


    keep things inside her head for long. She had to feed her curiosity as soon as possible or else it would


    just slip her mind.


    "I just felt that I need to give you a heads-up just in case you make trouble for me." Kevin knew his


    sister too well to let his guard down.


    "My God, I said I got it. Why are you still nagging? You sound just like Mom." Just like how little girls


    would, ire twitched her mouth disapprovingly. Should Kevin really be this overacting? For Pete''s


    sake, he was too cautious!


    "I said it for your own good. You should appreciate it." The man exhaled in resignation. Kevin was just


    trying to exin things to her. What was bad in making her understand that she couldn''t use his


    "It''s not my fault. Sometimes you can be very annoying." As childish as she was, ire made a funny


    face at Kevin and ran upstairs. The act made her look as adorable as Leena. In all honesty, ire


    wasn''t really a troublemaker. There were times when she could be as lovely as sunshine. It was only


    when Leena was around that ire''s loveliness caved in and got reced by her hateful and mean


    attitude.


    The idea made Kevin shake his head as he went upstairs too. Fatigue was suddenly surging in him. It


    could probably be because he had just recovered from a bad cold and was still weak, or because of the


    long drive from his parents'' house.


    He was literally trudging when he opened their bedroom door and found Leenaing out of their


    private bathroom at the very same time. Thedy involuntarily straightened her pajamas upon seeing


    him as if she was scared that something might be inappropriate with how she looked.


    "Your hair is still wet. Why didn''t you dry it in the bathroom beforeing out?" His automatic reaction


    was to give their room a quick once-over in search of the hairdryer. He took it as soon as he found it.


    He signaled Leena toe over and sit beside him after.


    "I forgot. I was going to dry it in the bedroom." Leena smiled with embarrassment and walked up to


    him. She sat on the dressing chair with her eyes filled with excitement.


    "Remember. Next time,e out of the bathroom after you dry your hair. Otherwise, it will wet your


    pajamas and you can catch a cold from it." Kevin grabbed a clean bath sheet and wrapped her in it


    snugly. He didn''t want the water dripping from her hair to wet her pajama jacket even more.


    "I''ll remember it. Is ire okay?" The gentleness Leena received from Kevin made her flush. It was


    only through this kind of affectionate moment that she felt him caring for her.


    "She is fine. She was just making a fuss. She is in the study googling FX International Group." Kevin


    lifted her hair before the hair dryer blew on it. She sighed with howfortably warm it felt.


    "It''s very easy to learn about FX International Group. Edward used to keep a high profile. He was a


    public figure before. There were tons of news about him all over the ce, mostly negative though."


    Many people said that Edward was a yboy but only those few who were close to him knew what kind


    of person he really was. Although Daisy had struggled in the past years, she had been very happy


    since she and Edward were together again. Everybody knew that Edward was faithful and devoted


    once he fell in love.


    "Did Edward''s private life really use to be as scattered as it was said?" Kevin threaded to the topic


    carefully. He had never been interested in Edward''s private life until the day he showed up out of the


    blue and imed to be Daisy''s husband. It made Kevin curious. Thus he started digging for information


    about Edward. It was odd, though, that all he had ever found of him was gossip about him and other


    women. It had made him crazy worried about Daisy before. It was fortunate that Edward and Daisy


    were now very happy together. Kevin sometimes thought that maybe the gossip had been posted just


    to disguise who Edward really was. He was a very arrogant man after all and men like him would do


    everything to keep his private life from the public.


    "Edward used that gossip for a purpose. Unexpectedly, the oue didn''t turn out to be so good and


    he regrets his action very much." Another sigh escaped from Leena''s chest. Edward shouldn''t have


    started the gossip. Some things wouldn''t change just because you wanted them to. He just got lucky


    that he found the woman he wanted to spend his life with. Leena couldn''t be happier for him.


    "I see." A thoughtful smile crossed Kevin''s face. His curiosity about Edward grew but he didn''t ask any

    more questions. A well-cultivated man like him knew when to stop.


    A sudden silence filled the room as Leena studied Kevin''s expression through the mirror of the


    dressing table. She was wondering why his eyebrows were furrowed. Did the information about Edward


    disappoint him? Or did it frustrate him? Men were aspetitive as women and Leena could see that


    her husband was not an exception.


    Truth be told, Leena didn''t know Kevin that well. Proud men like him hated beingpared with


    anybody. They thought that their honor was everything and how one praised them was everything that


    mattered.


    Happy days were usually short. Kevin wasn''t around anymore when Leena woke up the next morning.


    She felt dejected to think that he would have little time for her in the following days.


    She wanted to sleep some more but remembering that ire was in the house pushed her to freshen


    up and hurry downstairs. ire was still sleeping. She would definitely make sarcastic remarks if


    Leena got upter than her.


    Kevin and Leena had only been away for a couple of days, but their house was already dusty. Such


    things were something Leena couldn''t live with, so she decided to clean the house while ire was still


    asleep. She nned to take her out for breakfast as there was nothing fresh inside the fridge.
