Chapter 1246 The Misunderstanding (Part Two)


    "What? When? Where did she go?" Kevin took the box that the shop assistant handed to him. His face


    was full of worry, as was his voice. Why did she leave? Well, he guessed he could deal with thatter.


    The most important thing right now was to find Leena.


    "She went that way," The shop assistant kindly told him, pointing down the street. She was pretty sure


    Leena was distraught. That was why she paid more attention to her. She wasn''t used to her customers


    looking that way at all.


    "Okay, thanks!" Kevin quickly excused himself and ran out of the shop, heading in the direction the


    shop assistant indicated. He just hoped that she didn''t go too far. As expected, he had to deal with


    crowds, turning his body this way and that just to get past them. None of them were moving at the


    same pace he was.


    Leena walked the crowded streets with a lost look on her face. Tears fell down her already tear-stained


    cheeks, but she didn''t even realize that she was silently crying. She was like a zombie, walking with her


    head down, paying no heed to where she was headed. People kept bumping into her, but she didn''t


    give a damn. She just kept walking with hollow eyes.


    ''She is about my age. Does he think she''s prettier?'' she thought bitterly to herself. Leena saw Kevin


    talking to her at first, and she didn''t think much of it. She had thought that maybe she was just a friend,


    someone he hadn''t run into for a while. He''d lived here awhile, so he probably had people he knew. But


    imagine her surprise when the girl suddenly threw herself into Kevin''s arms. And what was worse,


    Kevin didn''t push her away, instead, he even held her closer and buried her head in his chest. Leena


    just couldn''t stand looking at them anymore. This was like a dagger in her heart. So she just left without

    a word. She didn''t know where she was going, and she didn''t care. She just dragged her numb feet


    and left the shop.


    She had thought that Kevin was a simple and honest man. But it seemed that she was terribly, deeply


    wrong. He''d been in love with Daisy, then Louisa popped up. Now, there was another girl she didn''t


    recognize, and they were obviously affectionate. How many more girlfriends was he hiding from her?


    Leena couldn''t even think about this without her heart breaking.


    ''Maybe this is why Kevin doesn''t love me.'' Leena couldn''t help thinking. Maybe Kevin didn''t even have


    a heart. No, maybe his heart was just not hers. He cared about someone else, not poor Leena. He was


    really cruel, she thought, ruining her life without a word. She''d worked so hard on their marriage, doing


    everything to please him. Then maybe he''d fall in love with her. But he didn''t even care. How could he


    be so mean, to just throw it all away without considering how she felt? Should she continue trying?


    Though she knew it would end up with even more heartache?


    The wind blew, chilling bones and hearts. But Leena, who really didn''t like cold, didn''t even feel a thing.


    Tears just kept streaming down the mask of pain that was her face, and she just couldn''t stop them.


    Her makeup ran, and she didn''t care. She knew that everyone gave her odd looks, but she couldn''t


    muster the energy to care.


    This was the first time she abdicated her figurative throne, gave up being a princess, waited on hand


    and foot. She did everything she could for the man she loved. She was wary, careful and cautious. But


    still, in the end, she had her heart broken. She had thought that as long as she treated Kevin with love


    and honesty, he''d treat her the same. But she didn''t really know him at all. She built up this image of a


    kind, decent man that wasn''t true. She suddenly lost all hope. She didn''t know if she could pull through


    this.


    Her phone kept ringing, but she didn''t pick up. She knew it was Kevin. He must have found out she left


    by now. But Leena wasn''t in the mood to talk to him. She just wanted to wallow in self-pity. She turned


    the corner, walking into a less-crowded alley. He could just eat her answering machine message for all


    she cared. Besides, what would she say to him?


    Kevin ran along the street, searching for Leena. But there were a lot of people, and the lights were not


    as bright during the night, so it was not easy for him.


    He kept calling Leena, but she didn''t pick up. And it was starting to make him anxious. He was about to


    lose his cool, especially since he knew why she took off like that. She saw him with Michelle and got


    the wrong idea. He supposed it looked bad. But he was just doing Michelle a favor. Couldn''t Leena


    figure it out? Why did she just assume the worst and not even confront him? Was he really that bad a


    guy in her eyes? Thinking of this, Kevin was full of regret. And beads of sweat started to form on his


    forehead as he got more and more worried. What if something happened to her?


    Looking around the streets, he kept searching for Leena. He turned his head this way and that, pausing


    for a moment to take it all in, then he was on the move again. He always thought that Leena was a cool


    and rational girl. But he was wrong. At least not this time. Even if he really did do something particrly


    heinous, she should have at least given him a chance to exin.


    He had been looking for her for several minutes now, and he finally sensed that something wasn''t right.


    She couldn''t have walked this far. Hell, his feet were beginning to tire. But he didn''t see her on the way.


    So he turned around and decided to backtrack, winding his way through the dimly-lit alleys.


    "Hey, missy! What''s a pretty girl like you doing all alone? Like somepany?" A foul-looking man


    whistled when Leena walked past him. His arms were covered with tattoos, his head shaved, and a


    vest was stretched across hisrge frame. But he wasn''t fat -- this was all muscle. His words were


    nasty and as foul as his appearance. Leena just ignored him because she didn''t want to waste any


    time on someone like that. Her tears finally dried. She walked ahead with a nk face, showing no


    emotion.


    "Hey, missy! Didn''t you hear me?" The thug saw that Leena ignored him and was very unhappy about


    it. So he followed her.


    "Fuck off! Or else." Leena stopped in her tracks and red coldly at him. She was pissed off. And if the


    guy continued saying nasty things to her, then she''d make him regret even waking up today. After all, it


    was a piece of cake for her to beat this guy.


    "Haha! Whoa, are you a fighter, girl? I like it. That''s hot!" The man tried to grab her while he said this,


    but before he could touch Leena, a strong hand appeared out of nowhere and grabbed his shirt,


    bunching it in his fist.


    "Didn''t you hear her? She told you to fuck off." Kevin''s face was stone cold. He pushed hard, and the


    guy fell down to the ground. And as soon as the guy looked up and saw Kevin in his military uniform,


    he scrambled to get off the ground and scampered down the alley. He didn''t want a confrontation with a


    trained fighter. Not only would he be beaten, but he''d end up in prison. That was thest ce he


    wanted to be, assembling various items all day, hearing the constant cries of "faster", and earning a


    p or a kick if you looked at someone wrong.
