Chapter 1157 Looking At Leena With New Eyes (Part Three)


    "That''s good. You really scared me," Leena said, sticking out her tongue. She would be really busy


    soon and she was wondering whether she should hire a part-time worker to help with her normal


    chores. Because she worried that once she got started with the summer lines, she would have no time


    for housework.


    "Huh, you get stressed out too easily. You need more confidence, really." Belinda smiled. Since Leena


    made it obvious she wasn''t interested, she stopped pushing her. As Leena said, she just graduated not


    long ago. And she needed more time to find what she really was into. Belinda remembered that she


    was forced into the family business as soon as she graduated, while her father went abroad with his


    wife to enjoy their retirement. Belinda was dog-tired from work ever since. So she didn''t want Leena to


    end up like her.


    "You''re right. It''s better for me to stay at home. I need lots of quiet time anyway." Leena heaved a sigh


    of relief. She looked cheerful and lively in public but in most of the time she preferred to stay alone in a


    quiet ce. That was the only way she could concentrate and get more inspiration for her design.


    "Are you sure you want to be indoorsy? Be careful about that. You don''t want to get too disconnected


    from people and the society." Belinda liked to tease Leena. Probably because she was an only child,


    and she liked having a sister around. Although Leena often acted out and pissed her off, on the whole,


    Belinda thought she was lucky to have such a funny sister-inw.


    ire sat quietly in the back seat of Kevin''s Humvee after they left Lloyd''s house, while Leena drove


    her own car back. Kevin came here from the army base, and he also drove a car.


    "Penny for your thoughts?" Kevin asked ire as he nced in the rear-view mirror to see if Leena''s


    car was behind him.


    "Kevin, is this what you were talking about before, when you told me about Leena before? In fact


    Leena wasn''t just an ordinary person, but from a wealthy and powerful family?" ire asked, seeming


    a little confused. Then she realized that she fell into the trap of judging by appearances. What she


    experienced today really shocked her. That was why she chose to ride home with Kevin. She didn''t


    know how to face Leena now. And she was trying to avoid her, and not have to admit she was wrong.


    But no matter what, she needed to connect the dots and figure out what was actually going on.


    "But what''s the difference? It doesn''t matter who her parents are. Rich or poor, she''ll always be my wife


    and your sister-inw. The only person who thinks this is important is you." Kevin gave her a thoughtful


    look. He never changed his mind about Leena once he found out about her family background. He


    didn''t decide to marry her because she was rich or poor, but because he was her first man and he


    wanted to be responsible for that.


    "So Mom and Dad also know she''s from a rich family, right? No wonder Dad doesn''t like her," ire


    said as she bit her lip. Her father didn''t like to have any association with people from the business


    circle. But his daughter-inw happened toe from a family in business. Now she could imagine


    how her father felt about this. It probably irked him to no end.


    "Yes, they know." Kevin felt upset at the mention of his father. It was true that Leena was from a rich


    family. But he had never thought of taking advantage of this. And Duke had never asked him for any


    help for his business, either. Apparently, Duke was not the kind of businessman who liked to have


    dealings with officials.


    "Am I the only one who didn''t know?" ire lowered her head and gazed at her fingers. She was at a


    loss now.


    "ire, just don''t worry about it. Leena''s easy to get along with. You know that even I didn''t mention


    this to you. She won''t give you a hard time. Truth be told, what you saw today is only a small taste.


    You''d never guess how popr Leena is in this city."This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    Kevin meant this as a warning. Leena not only had lots of friends, but powerful ones. He wanted to


    warn ire not to make schemes with Louisa, particrly ns to hurt Leena. Otherwise, no one could


    save her. And she couldn''t rely on him either. He was barely able to handle Duke as it was. Even with


    all his military contacts and his circle of friends, no one could bail her out of whatever trouble she got


    into if she hurt Leena.


    "I know. I won''t mess with Leena. I''ve been trying to get to know her. Maybe we could get along. We''re


    just not really close right now. My fault, probably." ire smiled mischievously. But she sighed now that


    Kevin brought up Louisa. After what happened yesterday, she felt Louisa was bing someone she


    didn''t know at all.
