Chapter 342 The Higher You Stand, The Heavier You Fall (Part Two)


    "Daisy, I thought you forget about us. Why didn''t youe to visit us for all these years?" Sherry


    controlled her tears of happiness. She had been quite emotional and excited from the moment she saw


    Daisy walking in with Edward. There was a Chinese saying "A girl changes fast in physical appearance


    from childhood to adulthood" and Daisy was a living example of it. After all these years, Daisy had


    grown into an elegant and gorgeous woman. That made Sherry relieved as well as nostalgic.


    "I see, you already know each other." Cynthia had nned to introduce them to each other. But before


    she did, Daisy and Sherry had already hugged each other.


    "Yes, we know each other well. When they got married, we were abroad. That''s why we couldn''t attend


    their wedding ceremony. No wonder I didn''t know that Daisy is your daughter-inw. She is like a


    daughter to me." As Sherry examined Daisy, she became more content.


    "Haha. Destiny is mysterious. It has closely connected our families." Cynthia was overwhelmed with joy


    to see them catching up. After all, it was easier to get along with someone you already knew than a


    total stranger.


    Jonathan always wore a poker face. As much as he appreciated Daisy, he didn''t reveal his admiration


    on his face. He just sat there quietly without making anyments. Those who knew him also knew


    his temper quite well, so they were used to it. But Daisy felt a bit awkward in front of him, possibly


    because of her outfit. She felt morefortable around him in her military uniform.


    Simr to Daisy''s embarrassment, Kevin was also like a cat on hot bricks. He noticed everything that


    was going on around Leena from where he sat. He knew Rain who was seated beside Leena. But who


    was the other gentleman next to her? Kevin could tell from their intimacy that they must know each


    other quite well.


    Kevin frowned helplessly. He knew that there was no love between him and Leena, but she was his


    wife anyway. So he couldn''t be fine with another man lingering around her. However, with his superior


    officers sitting beside him, he couldn''t just walk away. So he sat still, but he was constantly looking in


    Leena''s direction until he saw her smiling and falling into the man''s arms. Finally, he lost his poise.


    After giving an excuse to the armymander, he walked to Leena, his figure tall and bulky.


    "Honey, what you are talking about? You all seem to be enjoying." Kevin thought that he was hiding his


    feelings quite well, yet his concern surfaced when he saw the man caressing Leena''s nose.


    "Huh. Kevin, are you free now?" When Kevin abruptly said "Honey," Leena jerked out of Tom''s arms.


    When she jumped up, she identally hit Tom''s chin, making him say "ouch." ''What the hell. What


    crime have I done? Why is my face fated to go through so much pain? At first, it was the arrogant


    Edward, now the tiny Leena. Is this the oue of a jinx? Why''s everyone aiming at my pretty face?''


    Tomined privately.

    "I''m so sorry. Tom, I''m really sorry. I didn''t do it on purpose." After seeing what she had done, Leena


    began stroking Tom''s chin. Her care for Tom made Kevin''s heart ache. Though slight, Kevin still felt the


    sting. But soon he marked this abnormality as a just sign of aversion.


    "Thank goodness that you didn''t do it on purpose, or my handsome face would be ruined." Tom


    grasped Leena''s hand. He felt that his injury might get worse if Leena continued her massage. He


    caught Kevin''s grave eyes and considered that he could get another blow from this man. He had to


    stop being so intimate with Leena.


    Rain kept a close eye on Kevin and Tom. Soon he spotted something unusual. His eyes turned sly.


    ''There have to be a show today'', he concluded.


    "Wow. You two are still so intimate after so many years. It really makes me jealous." Yes. Rain was


    trying to elevate Kevin''s misunderstanding. That was why he spoke so ambiguously.


    "What? You''re jealous? Then go and get a girl to fill your empty heart. Stop moping around." Tom knew


    what Rain was trying to do, but he yed along with Rain who was always looking to stir up trouble.


    Plus, he also wanted to teach Kevin a valuable lesson. Kevin shouldn''t have married Leena so secretly


    and left her alone for so long. Luckily she had them to keep herpany, or she would have been


    bored to death. Yet without any mention of gratitude, Kevin just waltzed over and red at him. Tricking


    Kevin would be the best remedy for his injured chin.


    "Exactly. Your intimacy has made my eyes green and my heart broken." If he was not in the business


    world, Rain would have made an excellent actor. Right now he was presenting his best performing


    skills, his eyes looking at Kevin defiantly.


    Confused by Rain and Tom, Leena stood still. Her reaction confirmed to Kevin that what Rain had said


    was true, that she and the man were indeed lovers. But if she loved the man, why did she marry him?


    Didn''t she know what it meant to marry a military officer? Getting a divorce would be hard, and she


    would get penalized for cheating on him.


    "Honey, don''t you want to introduce me to your friends?" As peeved as Kevin was, his military discipline


    prevailed. He told himself again and again that he couldn''t fight in public, that he must keep his


    composure, that Leena was not a shameless woman and that she wouldn''t be stupid enough to flirt


    with another man in public. He believed in his own judgment to choose a faithful wife, and he was sure


    that Leena wasn''t an infidel woman. That''s how he managed to keep his cool.


    "Well. Well, this is Tom, he''s a doctor. If you get sick, you have to go to see him. His healing skills are


    superb." After hearing Kevin''s question, Leena moved away from Tom to hold Kevin''s arm, her face still


    radiated with pride for Tom. She remained oblivious of Kevin''s clouded expression.


    "Huh..." Leena''s rmendation of Tom made Rain and Tom spit out the wine in their mouth. They


    had never seen anyone rmending a doctor to perfectly healthy people. Leena''s rib-tickling side


    was fun to be around. No wife would ever wish her husband to get sick. They knew Leena was just


    rmending without meaning anything else. She had nned ahead for future ailments. But it was


    still quite funny for someone to say such a thing, so Rain and Tom justughed out loud.


    But Kevin was in no mood tough. His mouth twitched, not because of the doctor referral, but the


    confusion that how many more friends like this did Leena have. He hoped it wouldn''t be as many as a


    toon, because that would be hard for him to deal with.
