Chapter 1444 Back To Base (Part Two)


    "I think it''s a great idea. If there''s a shuttle bus avable, spouses can go shopping as many times as


    they want. Remember to send me a written proposalter so I can approve it immediately," Kevin said.


    Like most men, he was not interested in shopping at all, so he had never thought of this before.


    "Hey, why don''t you write the proposal yourself?" Daisy suggested. She cast him a reproachful nce.


    Kevin could write the proposal himself so she wouldn''t have to be bothered to do it, Daisy thought.


    "Because I''m your superior, that''s why you should do it," Kevin answered smartly. Heughed at his


    statement. He only dared to talk that way in front of Daisy, but never in front of her husband, Edward.

    Otherwise, the man would figure out a way to punish him on behalf of his beloved wife.


    "Fine then! I''ll write it. After all, I''m just a subordinate," Daisy murmured. She pretended to act as if


    Kevin had wronged her, though she knew the man was just teasing her. So, she teased him back.


    Kevin broke intoughter. "I was only kidding. Are you angry with me?" he asked, his eyes smiling


    mischievously. If there were soldiers nearby, they would have been startled by Kevin''sugh knowing


    he always had a poker face.


    "Yes, I''m angry. You know I''m a woman, and women easily take offense," she retorted. Daisy pretended


    to be annoyed, but her curled lips gave her away.


    "Don''t worry," Kevin assured her. "I''ll ask Lee to write the proposal, so you don''t have to worry about it.


    But it is a good suggestion," he said. Kevin shook his head in resignation. It suddenly dawned on him


    that women were so fickle, and he was only beginning to realize this.


    When they arrived at his quarters, Leena was busy preparing food. She nned to make a sumptuous


    dinner, so she needed to start early.


    "Daisy!" she squealed. "I missed you so much!" The moment Leena saw her husband and Daisy, she


    rushed towards them and gave the woman a tight hug. She knew this was the best way to soften her


    up.


    "Oh really? You missed me? Then why didn''t you give me a call when you arrived?" Pretending to be


    unhappy, she pouted. But deep inside, she''d already forgiven Leena for thispse.


    "I just got here," Leena defended herself. "And I was about to call you after talking to Kevin. But since I


    heard you were with him, I decided to wait to see you in person. Please don''t get upset with me, okay?"


    She shook Daisy''s arm like a guilty little child.


    "Okay, okay, you win. Hey, you brought a lot of food with you. How many dishes are you nning on


    cooking?" Daisy asked curiously. Looking around the kitchen, she frowned at the number of ingredients


    all over the ce.


    "Oh, those are just the stuff I got out of the car. There are more there, since I couldn''t bring all of them


    at the same time." She smiled excitedly. But it was evident she was exhausted and cooking would take


    up more energy. Hauling the bags upstairs added to the fatigue she was already feeling.


    "What? Did you buy all those ingredients from the food market? Are you sure you can cook so many


    dishes all by yourself?" Daisy was incredulous and doubted Leena could prepare all that she nned


    on cooking.


    Leenaughed out loud. "I know I can''t. But, you''re here. So, pleasee and help me when you get


    off work this afternoon. After all, you''re a better cook than me," Leena said. She gave Daisy a sly smile,


    knowing she wouldn''t refuse.


    "What? Naughty woman! Do you think I have time to help you?" Daisy asked with one eyebrow arched


    high.


    "Well, I don''t know if you have to work overtime. But I already called Edward and told him I wanted you


    to do me a favor. He said yes without a hint of hesitation." The truth was Edward would say yes to


    Leena no matter what she asked for. After all, Leena was his beloved sworn sister.


    "You''re as cunning as Edward! So, you believe I won''t say no to you?" Sighing deeply, Daisy shook her


    head in resignation. Actually, it wasn''t only Edward and Leena''s other sworn brothers, but Daisy herself


    that could never say no to Leena.


    "Of course. I know you''re the best and you don''t want me to get too exhausted, right?" She batted her


    eyshes for added effect, and then smiled. Although she was a married woman, she was still young


    and would always be a little girl in Daisy''s eyes.


    "No, you''re wrong. I''d be happy to see you exhausted," Daisy teased. She began to unbutton her


    military coat and started to help Leena prepare the ingredients. Daisy wondered whether Kevin


    deliberately brought her here to help Leena with the cooking.


    "Daisy, you''re a soldier, and it''s your duty to help me." Leena''s eyes twinkled as she gave Daisy a sly


    smile.


    "Oh, yeah? Well, Kevin''s a soldier, too. And he''s my superior. So, he''s more obliged to help you," she


    argued. Their earlier banter about Daisy being Kevin''s inferior came to her mind, and that she was


    obliged to obey him.


    "Uhmmm…" Kevin thought he needed to escape. "I''m going downstairs to get the rest of the things in


    the car." He needed an excuse to leave before he got caught up in the banter between the two women.


    Leena crammed so many things in her car that Kevin was bbergasted. There were ingredients and


    shopping bags everywhere that the driver''s seat was the only empty space. His face twitched at the


    mess before him. He would need to make several trips to get all of them upstairs, so Kevin decided to


    call for reinforcement. He called his guard, Lee, and Daisy''s guard, Mark. Anyway, Daisy was with him,


    so it was only right for Mark to help her.
