Chapter 1231 A Warning From A Friend (Part Two)


    "I''m just kidding. Nice to meet you too. Looks like Leena has a good taste in men after all." Patricia


    looked him up and down a few times. She didn''t even try to hide it. It was obvious that she was


    checking him out. Kevin knew too.


    "You want me to turn around?" he joked. Kevin didn''t shy away from her intense gaze. He looked back


    at Patricia, wondering how a sweet, innocent girl like Leena had a best friend so vivacious and bold. He


    couldn''t help but wonder how the two met.


    "Haha. Don''t you know it? By the way, I''m Patricia Bai, your wife''s best friend." Patricia reached out her


    hand to shake Kevin''s, formally introducing herself. To be honest, her first impression of Kevin was not


    bad. He seemed like a good guy, quick with a joke, and could evenugh at himself.


    "Since you are Leena''s best friend, you probably know more about me than I do about you." Kevin


    politely shook her hand and then quickly withdrew his hand like a real gentleman. He decided to be


    careful not to crush her fingers. Turned out he needn''t have bothered. She had a surprisingly firm grip.


    "Ha ha, I can''t say that I know everything about you. But I''ve done my research. By the way, the


    soldiers you work with, are they all as handsome as you?" Patricia''s eyes were full of excitement when


    she asked Kevin this question, as if she was already imagining a group of handsome and young


    soldiers showing off their muscles in front of her. This was a vision she could easily get lost in. She


    enjoyed herself without reservation. She wasn''t the type to get embarrassed if a man undressed in


    front of her.


    "Well, I''m no judge, but probably! Why? You interested in our soldier boys?" Kevin''s eyes flickered with


    excitement too all of a sudden. There were still a few officers who were single in the army base. Maybe


    he could introduce them to Patricia? Fix them up? He liked the idea.


    "Not really." Patricia pursed her lips. Sure, she could appreciate how handsome they were, but she


    didn''t want to marry a soldier like Leena. She couldn''t just sit at home and wait for her man. So it wasn''t


    for a lively woman like her to be a soldier''s wife.


    Kevin was suddenly at a loss for words hearing Patricia''s reply. He had thought that maybe she was


    interested in soldiers because she got so excited asking about them. So why did she turn him down?


    She seemed pretty interested just a moment before.


    "All right. We should probably move this to the dining room. Or the food will get cold." Leena interrupted


    them at the right time. She could tell that Kevin was a bit embarrassed and at a loss for words all of a


    sudden. So she tried to change the subject. Besides, she was sure he was hungry.


    "Okay. Let me go upstairs and wash my face real quick. I''ll be there in a minute. You two go ahead!"


    Kevin said, walking upstairs quickly. He''d trained with his soldiers today. He wanted to get rid of the


    sweat and dust on his face before dinner. He didn''t mind getting dirty, but he wasn''t going to eat like

    that.


    "Stop staring. He''s already gone." Patricia bumped Leena''s shoulder with hers, pulling her out of her


    trance. Leena''s eyes were following Kevin''s every move.


    "Alright, let''s eat." Leena turned around, then walked to the dining room. Patricia followed her, a


    meaningful smile on her face.


    Kevin wasn''t long at all, just like he promised. He was downstairs only after a few minutes, only


    wearing a shirt. He left his coat upstairs. He rolled up his sleeves, looking very casual andfortable.


    "Sorry for the wait." Kevin sat down, beside Leena, smiling bit apologetically at Patricia for making her


    wait. She was their guest after all.


    "That''s all right. We got started without you." Patricia held up the piece of pork between her chopsticks.


    She knew Leena was a good cook. And it had been way too long since shest ate Leena''s cooking,


    so she couldn''t even wait for Kevin. She was hungry, and her stomach was growling already.


    "Just eat. You talk too much." Leena picked up a piece of eggnt and put it in Patricia''s rice bowl. She


    was a bit worried that if Patricia continued talking, she would tell Kevin some embarrassing stories


    about her. She really didn''t feel like being red-faced tonight.


    "Leena, you did that on purpose! I hate eggnt." Patricia red at Leena without real malice in her


    eyes. She then looked at the piece of eggnt in front of her with a look of distaste on her face. She


    wrinkled up her nose, squinted, made a big show of it.


    "Eggnts are good for you. Since when did you be so picky?" But Leena let it go quickly. She


    just shrugged and continued eating.


    "Then why don''t you eat onions? They''re good for you too," Patricia teased. Shepletely ignored


    Kevin and bantered back and forth with Leena.


    "How do you know that I don''t eat them?" Leena asked back, feeling a bit guilty. She really didn''t like


    onions at all. She thought the vor was too strong, and hated crying while chopping them. So she


    never cooked onions.


    Kevin nced at Leena in surprise. He didn''t know that she disliked onions before. He silently filed


    away another fact about Leena. One of the things he liked about her was that she did keep surprising


    him.


    "Humph! Meanie!" Patricia gritted her teeth and then put the piece of eggnt in her mouth. She still


    didn''t like it. But she knew that Leena only wanted her to be healthy. As long as it was with her best


    interests in mind...


    Leena stuck out her tongue and didn''t say another word. Because she knew that if she kept teasing


    Patricia, then she''d tell Kevin all those embarrassing stories. That was just how Patricia was.


    As usual, Kevin was the one doing the dishes. But this time, Leena was beside him. From the hesitant


    look on her face, Kevin could tell that she wanted to tell him something but didn''t know how. But he


    wasn''t known for his patience.


    "Why that face? You have something to say to me?" Kevin turned his head so he could see her better


    while washing the dishes.


    "Yeah. Well, Patricia ran away from home, and wanted to stay here awhile. That okay?" Leena


    anxiously yed with her hands while saying this. Her tone showed her nervousness. She was hoping


    that Kevin might say yes, but fearing he might say no.
