Chapter 1119 A Peaceful, Easy Evening (Part Two)
"Next time, don''t wait. My wife does, but that is because she likes to eat with me. I can''t be sure when I
can get out of there, so just eat if you''re hungry!" Kevin said that while looking at Leena. He almost
smiled, but he stopped himself.
"But we don''t know if you will bete! So just call next time. Do you know how annoying it is to wait?
There is so much yummy food here, that our tummies are growling while we wait. So stop torturing us
and call!" Leena gave ire a thankful look. This was precisely what she wanted to tell Kevin. But for
some reason she wouldn''t tell him this directly. So ire stepped up to the te and did Leena a favor.
"Okay, I will." Kevin noticed the silent exchange between the two, and apparently it was Leena who
wanted to say something. ''Would you still hold back if ire hadn''t said something?'' Kevin thought, ''I
told you toe to me if you had a problem.'' He never thought that he should give Leena a call if he
was unable to get home on time. Was he too busy to call? Or did he just not care enough to ask how
Leena felt? So did she just sit there, anxiously waiting for him toe home? And why didn''t he even
think of that?
"Go wash your hands. Dinner is up." Kevin''s gaze brought an embarrassed smile to Leena''s face. She
lowered her head to avoid eye contact.
"Hmm! I can''t eat if I don''t shower first. I''m all hot and sweaty. Go ahead and dig in. Don''t wait up. I''ll be
done soon." Kevin went upstairs as he talked. He was in such a hurry to get home that he had no time
to take a shower in his dorm in the army base.
"Let''s eat, ire. He will be back soon." Leena had already taken her seat. Unlike women, men usually
finished their showers quickly. Sometimes, just a couple of minutes were enough for them. Besides,
men didn''t take as much time to tidy up in front of a mirror before they left the bathroom.
"I really never knew you could cook this well. The food is just out of this world. I thought you were just
an ordinary girl, but you''ve outdone yourself here. Everything smells nicely." ire took the chopsticks
in front of her, and picked up a slice of braised eggnt from the te. Those delicious dishes were so
alluring that she could not resist it any more. Since Kevin gave the okay, she just went ahead and
started in. Kevin could hardly me her if there was nothing left for him.
"Hmm... I took sses. Generally speaking, my cooking is not bad." Leena looked at ire in surprise.
Instead of saying something mean, ire praised her for the first time. She should mark this day on the
calendar.
"That''s why. You worked at it, even studied to get it right. No one is born with it." Though she was still
arrogant, she seemed more positive and optimistic. It looked like she took Kevin''s advice, and decided
to be nice to Leena for once.
"It just takes determination. If you want to learn, you just need to do it." Leena just said that to herself.
She loved Kevin, and was determined to love him. But she wasn''t sure how long she could hold on if
Kevin didn''t love her back. Only a fool would keep doing something and not get anything out of it. So
what would happen if she felt disappointment, or even frustration? What if she started to resent Kevin?
These feelings might drive her away from the man she loved.
"I tried and quit. I could never figure it out." ire had a different opinion. She said this before giving it
any thought. To be frank, she seemed to be unable to learn anything that required patience. It might be
because she didn''t have any to begin with.
"It''s okay ire. You''re lucky to be born in this great times, when women don''t have to be good at
cooking or cleaning. In the past, that was unthinkable. But now, more and more girls are never taught
how to cook." A warm smile broke across Leena''s face when she talked about cooking. Actually, she
liked cooking only because she liked to see how Kevin ate up all her food with a pleasant expression.
He liked it, so she liked to cook it for him. Watching Kevin finish everything she cooked, was one of her
happiest moments. Whether it was hearing him loudly sucking the bones of chicken ws or slurping
Shrimp Dumpling Soup, these sounds made her feel loved.
"Are you making fun of me?" asked ire with a frown. Though ire was slow in some respects, she

wasn''t bad at everything. But every one could see why ire might have thought that Leena was
teasing her. Her words apparently struck a nerve.
"No, no. That''s not what I meant. I''m just talking about girls in general," Leena anxiously exined. She
really didn''t want to ruin what they had going right now. She still remembered the bad times between
her and ire, and didn''t want a repeat. She exined so quickly every one could tell she was
nervous.
"I''m d you weren''t teasing me. I don''t want to fight anymore, and I don''t want Kevin mad at me. I
promised him we would try and get along." Rather thanpletely fly off the handle, ire calmed
down again after Leena reassured her. She didn''t talk about it again.
"Promised Kevin? What are you talking about? Is he making you be nice to me?" Leena felt confused.
She thought it was strange that ire was nice to her. But she didn''t think about it twice, since most
people were nice to her. Sometimes it took a bit for people to warm up to someone. Now, it seemed
that ire was treating her better because of some arrangement with Kevin. But what did she agree
to? And what was Kevin''s part in all this? Leena could not help but feel curious about it.
"That is a secret between me and Kevin. You will have to ask him," said ire with her lips curled.
Then she dug in to the tasty food, and said nothing more about this secret. The meal was incredible, as
excellent as anything cooked by Maud.
"What are you guys talking about? I could swear I heard my name. So what''s up?" asked Kevin,
walking downstairs. He was so quick when he showered. In the past ten minutes, he did things that
would have taken Leena an hour. Wearing more casual clothing, he looked quite refreshed.
