Chapter 1140 Truth And Treachery (Part Two)


    "So? How do you feel about that?" Kevin got a little nervous when he heard this. He wasn''t sure that


    she wouldn''t say that she still had a thing for him, that she was going to run off with Gerard. That would

    break his heart in two.


    "No. I blew him off when I came back from France. I told him the truth -- that I was a happily married


    woman. And I thought that was the end of it, but he got my address from a teacher and that''s where we


    are now." Leena raised her head and looked at him in the eyes. Sincerityy behind those eyes, and he


    would be a fool not to believe her.


    "Leena, thanks for telling me. I''d rather hear it from you than find out by ident. And this is what


    makes me think that I''m important to you. We''ll be okay. Because we can be honest with each other."


    Kevin finally rxed a little. But the news that Gerard never gave up on Leena was a little


    disconcerting. It never urred to him that he''d have a romantic rival, that someone else would be


    fact that Leena was an attractivedy with a good family background.


    "It''s normal for a couple to be honest with each other, right?" Leena asked. Her head tilted gracefully


    and one corner of her mouth uplifted. Her smile made her look all the more beautiful. She actually


    looked fascinating from every angle.


    "I don''t know what to say to that." Kevin smiled bitterly. Because he failed to be honest with her right


    from the beginning, and that was why there were so many misunderstandings. All he could do was do


    better next time.


    "Oh? I didn''t mean to me you. It''s just what I think," Leena hurriedly exined. She wasn''t referring


    to anything else, and didn''t want him to think like that.


    "I know, don''t worry. But it is my fault. I''ve been so busy with work and I didn''t pay enough attention to


    you." He remembered he had to leave for work in a few days, and that made him feel extremely down.


    When he had to take off before, he had nothing to worry about. But now he was already homesick, and


    he hadn''t even left yet. That was the magic power of love.


    "Not really. At least you made ire not hate me so much, didn''t you?" Leena felt grateful to him for


    this. They were a big family and she didn''t want anyone in the family to bear grudges against each


    other. It was hard in the beginning, with her constant insults. It was almost more than Leena could bear.


    "That''s all you. ire only promised me she''d try to get along with you, but she didn''t say anything


    about liking you. So if she really opens up to you and starts to like you, that''s because of who you are."


    Kevin never said he did something that someone else did. Really, with ire, he only pushed a little


    and hoped she and Leena would get along for real.


    "Still, you helped a lot. Thanks dear. And this is your reward." Leena said, leaning closer to him and


    nting a gentle kiss on his cheek. She kissed him to express her thanks. Unlike a lot of men, he was


    awesome when it came to Gerard. She was touched because of it. She ran over it in her head,


    imagining how furious he''d be. But she worried too much for nothing. She felt happy that things were


    fine between them now.


    "That''s it?" Kevin looked at her yfully. He liked such sudden surprises and it made him feel happy


    from the bottom of his heart.


    "What else do you want? Kevin, you''re starting to care for me, right?" Seeing that Kevin was in a good


    mood now, Leena began to pry into his inner world. Because she really wanted to know whether she


    was right. She sensed his love this afternoon, but she was not sure whether it was real or not. She


    needed to know. She''d fallen desperately in love with him and wondered if he felt the same.


    "I have always cared for you. Why do you think I married you?" Kevin knew what she wanted to know.


    But he intentionally beat around the bush. He wanted to tease her. A mischievous smile found its way


    to his face.


    "Oh! That''s not what I mean. You know what I mean -- I... You did that deliberately. You wanted to


    embarrass me." Leena leaned against him and enjoyed this happy moment. Most of the time


    something always weighed on her mind. She didn''t want to act too girly around him, because he didn''t


    marry her for love. She wanted to pretend she was mature and cool around him. She was really


    different around him, not at all like she was with Duke and her other brothers.


    "You got it! You''re slow today. You should take more vitamins." Kevin smiled as he smoothed her hair.


    With Leena cuddled in his arms, he could feel his heart beat even faster.


    The moment was peaceful and beautiful, and love made their hearts grow fonder. Although Kevin didn''t


    say "I love you" to Leena, all the time, actions spoke louder than words.


    It was a daily routine -- Kevin always got up early and came homete. Whenever Leena woke up


    early, she''d hear a rustling. She opened her eyes, and saw Kevin looking for clothes in the wardrobe.


    "Going to work now?" Leena crept out from the warm quilt with sleepy eyes. She didn''t want to miss


    one of the few times that she caught him before he went to work.


    "Oh! Sorry I woke you up. Just go back to sleep, baby. It''s too early." Kevin said, yawning as he put his


    shirt on. As soon as he got his tie, Leena suddenly came over and took the tie from him. She was good


    at fixing the tie, so he let her do it. She was a fashion designer, and her skill made the tie look wless


    on him.
