Chapter 1353 Luke And The Lady (Part One)


    "Hey, I didn''t mean it like that." Kevinughed gently. Although Leena wasn''t here, you could still see


    his love for his wife in his eyes.


    "I don''t like being mocked," said Leena. People in love were always sensitive. Leena was not an


    exception. A careless word in the wrong ear, and Leena would get insecure. No matter how much she


    tried to improve, there would always be something wrong. So, like everyone else, she would get


    anxious and wonder if he still loved her. But it was all on her mind. She wasn''t used to dealing with a


    rtionship.


    "I know, I''m sorry. I''ll be back soon, at any rate. Go eat!" Kevin checked his watch and found that it was


    nearly meal time. He wanted to make sure she had something to eat. It wasn''t healthy to skip meals.


    "I will. Drive safely." After their exchange, Leena hung up the phone. She felt warm from the bottom of


    her heart. Her eyes wereughing, and that sight was just as beautiful as the crescent moon.


    Kevin looked at the phone. A smile tugged at his lips. He was quite satisfied with his life now. It couldn''t


    get any better, could it?


    "Major General, are we heading back to the base?" Lee looked at Kevin through the rearview mirror.


    He wondered if they were going to drop off the documents at the base. These were confidential files,


    and it would be best to have them under lock and key.


    "Yeah! We''ll drop by there first!" Kevin was insistent on this. Though he was pretty sure Leena wouldn''t


    peek at them if he brought the files home, he was a stickler for the rules. They needed to be filed


    correctly and locked up. He needed to obey the rules even if he was a major general. There was no


    privilege for him.


    "Yes sir." Lee answered briskly. He liked Major General Gu because he was considerate, but tended to


    do the right thing. He knew Kevin loved his wife, but duty came first. They all knew that the confidential


    documents could not be taken home no matter how much they trusted their families. What was more,


    the military code was very clear on how these files were to be handled.


    When Kevin finally got back home, it was nearly ten o ''clock. The lights were off downstairs, and Leena


    wasn''t there. But he could hear gentle musicing from the first floor. It put him in a better mood and


    rxed him. Maybe this was the warmth that came from having a family!


    He crept upstairs, wondering what his wife was doing. He carefully monitored his footfalls, like he


    learned in stealth training in the military. But he was startled when she sensed him and turned around.


    "Ahhh! Leena, is that you?" He wasn''t sure. The creature was wearing his wife''s bathrobe and had her

    lovely figure, but the hair was hidden by a towel, and her face was covered by an icky green goo.


    Looking at his wife''s face, Kevin fought down his rising anxiety. What on earth was going on?


    "Calm down, honey. It''s just a facial mask!" answered Leena. Regardless of what Kevin thought, Leena


    liked the effect of the facial cleansing mask. She didn''t like the way her skin looked recently. So when


    she had some free time, she decided to apply the face mask. The mask helped to hydrate her skin,


    removing oil and even helping with her pores. She didn''t expect Kevin would be back now. Being


    scared? That was on him.


    "So why didn''t I see you doing this before?" Kevin frowned and looked at her. He was calmed down


    now, and his heart stopped beating like a jackhammer. It was natural to be shocked, seeing that the


    first time.


    "That''s because I used to be young, but now I''m growing older. My skin''s not as firm as it used to be.


    And it used to glow. And I want you to think I''m pretty for a long time," Leena said naughtily. Her eyes


    were full of mischief. But when she closed her eyes, they were covered by the face mask. So the effect


    was dulled somewhat.


    "No matter what, past, present, or future, I will always love you. I fall in love with you, and that won''t


    change no matter how much time passes." It was a rare thing for Kevin to be so romantic. Therefore,


    Leena was moved after hearing what he said. She looked at him with immense affection. It was like


    there was nobody in the world except Kevin. Nothing else mattered.


    "They say that if guys don''t lie, then pigs will fly. Do you see any flying pigs?" Although Leena felt warm


    in her heart, she still couldn''t help teasing him.


    "You don''t believe me?" Kevin reached out his hand and pulled her into his arms. Leena''s body was


    close to his. And Kevin stared at her with mischievous intent.


    "Ouch! It hurts." Leena gave Kevin the side eye and felt he was bing more and more evil. Was


    this man still the cold major general she knew and loved?


    "No pain, no gain," Kevin said in a yful tone. Leena was absorbed in Kevin''s gaze, unable to tear her


    eyes away from Kevin''s handsome face.


    "You naughty boy." Leena mustered all her willpower and looked away. She wouldn''t be that easily


    seduced.


    "I''m only naughty for you. Believe me." Kevin whispered softly in her ear. His warm breath made her


    knees weak. She wanted to run away, because she knew what he wanted.


    "Well, I''m going to wash my face." Leena said as she bent her knees and escaped from his grasp. She


    ran towards the bathroom, as if fierce floods and savage beasts were chasing her.


    Kevin smiled evilly. He knew exactly why she wanted to escape. But there was no hurry. The night was


    still young. He had plenty of time to seduce her.


    While Kevin was enjoying himself, someone else most certainly was not. Michelle just wanted to


    exercise outside, but then a gang of thugs followed her. She wasn''t stupid enough to fight them. She


    ran. She didn''t have anyone else to worry about, so she might be able to get away.


    But these bastards had been chasing her a long time, weren''t they tired? Even if they weren''t tired, she


    was exhausted. She had just been at the gym. She trained to the point of muscr failure, not


    expecting to have a workout again so soon. She was gasping, her chest hurt, her heart threatening to


    burst.


    Because she was afraid innocents might be hurt, she aimed for dark alleys and backroads, where they


    hopefully wouldn''t see anyone. But no people meant less chance of getting help, too. Besides,


    everyone just minded their own business downtown. If they caught up to her there, there still would be


    nobody willing to help.


    She could hear the voices of those thugs behind her. "Bitch, can''t you run faster?" "We''re gaining on


    her!" "You better run!" She rounded the corner, and it was a dead end. She turned to face them. More


    than a dozen gangsters blocked Michelle''s path. Some were holding weapons. They advanced on her


    slowly, enjoying the thrill of the chase, like a serpent stalking a mouse.


    "Are you kidding? I''ll run if I feel like it!" Michelle knew that she was probably screwed. But she held her


    chin up and faced these guys head on. She acted high and mighty, so maybe she could scare them off.


    She was arrogant, and it showed.


    "Ha ha! I think the choice is made for you. There''s nowhere to run," one of the gangsters said,


    time to recover.


    "Great, then I can stop running, huh? Bye!" Michelle joked, stalling for time. She rolled her big eyes as


    she racked her brain, trying to find a way out of this. She was Michelle. If they intended to hurt her, she


    wasn''t going to make it easy for them.
