"Oh, yes. FX International hasunched some new vis for sale. Since Leena isn''t home, it would be better if you choose a vi for her." As far as Duke was concerned, Kevin and Leena''s apartment was too small - although it was still expensive. Leena was a fanciful girlPlease check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org.


    who enjoyed her whimsical and luxurious activities. It would be better for her to live in a spacious house.


    "Did Leena ask you to do this?" Kevin asked in frustration. His brow furrowed. If Leena needed a new and bigger house, he would spend all his savings on her without hesitation.


    "Of course not. Edward wants to buy a house for Leena as a wedding gift. Don''t refuse and piss him off. He loves Leena too," Duke answered. Duke sensed the displeasure in Kevin''s voice. However, if Edward wanted to give someone a gift, nobody could dare to refuse him. Besides, Edward loved Leena like a sister just as much as Duke loved her. When Duke confided to Edward that he thought Leena needed a better house, Edward said that he had already chosen one for her as a wedding gift. Since Edward had no idea about Leena''s taste in housing property, he needed Kevin''s help in this.


    "Okay. I get that," Kevin responded. He knew he could not refuse Edward''s gift. The house was meant for Leena, not for Kevin himself. Just like the brand new car in his parking lot, it represented the love and blessings from Leena''s brother.


    "I''m d that you aren''t refusing Edward. His secretary, Anna, will contact you. You cane and choose a house for Leena. Don''t be toote; the pre-sales of these houses should not be postponed for your sake. They would not be sold until you have chosen an appropriate one for your wife," Duke replied dly. He still hadn''t fully epted Kevin as his brother-inw. However, after the small chat with Belindast time, his attitude toward Kevin changed greatly.


    "All right. I''lle over this afternoon," Kevin said. His schedule was tight tomorrow, so he decided to see the houses this afternoon.


    "Great. Talk to youter. Good day," Duke said. Duke hung up the phone. He originally intended to ask Anna to send the photos to Leena online, but she didn''t answer his phone. So he had to contact her husband instead. After all, the house would belong to Kevin as much as it would to Leena.


    Kevin frowned. It suddenly urred to him that people could consider him to be a man who married for money. Although he had known about Leena''s identity before they got married, he had never considered that Leena was doted upon by these powerful and wealthy men. He felt exasperated.


    The vis built by FX International Group wererge in space and extremely expensive. Kevin didn''t know they were semi-furnished until he made his visit. The to-be owners of the vis only needed to secure some furniture ording to their taste. FX International Group seemed to have invested a great deal in these vis. The designing of each and every house was remarkable.


    "Major General Gu, which vi do you like most? Tell me and it will be yours," Anna told him. Since Kevin was Leena''s husband, Anna was supposed to personally show him around. She hadn''t shown any displeasure at this for the past three hours. Truthfully, she liked his good looks and humble personality.


    "I''m sorry. Can I send some photos of these vis to Leena and ask for her opinion before I give you an answer? I have no clue about her taste in houses," Kevin said apologetically. He had thought all houses would almost be the same. Apparently, he had been wrong. The various styles of designs confused him. He needed to consult his wife on this.


    "Sure! You took photos for Mrs. Gu. How considerate of you. I thought all of you soldiers were rough and careless. It turns out you''re quite thoughtful," Anna said pleasantly. Apart from Daisy, Anna barely knew any soldiers personally. She assumed that all soldiers were bold and uninhibited.


    "I''m d to say you are wrong. We soldiers can be gentle and careful when we want to be. We are rougher in training and overbat missions, but in other circumstances, we are the same as most civilians." The corners of Kevin''s mouth twitched. Anna''s remarks actually reminded him of what he should do next. Themon people should get to know soldiers better. The army and the people should establish a more harmonious and trusting rtionship with each other.


    "I''m sorry I barely know anything about the army, even though you are risking your lives to protect our safety and our welfare. My knowledge of your life is very little and mostly superficial," Anna apologized, embarrassed about her ignorance. As a secretary to the president of an internationalpany, she barely had the time or opportunity to know anything about soldiers.


    "It''s quite fine. Civilians should be more essible to our life. It''s actually because of our own fault and negligence that you don''t know much about us," Kevin said. The army was quite mysterious to civilians due to its secrecy, unique nature and invibility. As a result, most people were curious about soldiers, their life, their training and other aspects. The guards at the gates of an army base carried guns that prevented themon people from loitering about. Only a handful of civilians were allowed to visit the bases.


    "Oh. You officers are actually quite nice. It never urred to me before." Anna grinned. To Anna, soldiers and military officers were supposed to be serious and solemn. However, aftering into contact with Daisy and Kevin, she found that she was terribly wrong. She had definitely gained more knowledge about the army.


    "As a matter of fact, most of us get along well with civilians. However, we have to be tough and intimidating when ites to our enemies." They walked together toward the parking lot. Kevin was outgoing as well as handsome. Anna seemed to be impressed by him. "Major General, thank you for enlightening me today. I have gained a better understanding of soldiers." Anna smiled and shook hands with Kevin.


    "You are wee. I should be the one thanking you for showing me around." Kevin looked at Anna gratefully. Anna had notined even once, even though she spent several hours walking around with him in her high-heeled shoes. She must be a remarkable woman to be Edward''s assistant.


    "Don''t mention it. It''s my pleasure to be of service to you. Let''s call it a day for now. See you next time!" Anna had always liked Leena. She was so sweet and never patronized people of lower rank or status.


    "Goodbye!" Kevin watched Anna get into her car and pull away. Before driving away himself, he looked around at the grand vis standing in front of him, looking so elegant under the afternoon sunlight. ''FX International Group must have employed many talented designers to build these astonishing houses,'' he thought.


    Kevin checked his wrist watch. It was 6 o''clock right now, which meant it must be 11 o''clock in the morning in France. Leena should be up by now. Kevin wondered whether or not his wife would like to talk to him if he called her. He made a terrible mistake quarreling with herst night. Nevertheless, he decided to make his call.


    He entered Leena''s number on his phone, longing to hear her sweet voice again. However, the call gave her a good scare. Leena had turned off her phone immediately afterst night''s fight. A moment ago, she had turned it on again and it rang immediately. She checked to see that it was her husband calling.


    "Hello," Leena responded to the call coldly. She was still angry at Kevin''s bad temper fromst night.


    "Girl, are you still mad at me?" Kevin asked humbly. He shook his hand, ming himself for starting a fight with his wife before thinking twice about it.


    "No, I''m not." Leena frowned, wondering why Kevin had been calling her so much in the past two days.


    "Don''t lie to me. I know you better than you think. I can sense the anger in your voice. Leena, I''m really sorry for what happenedst night. I thought about it a lot. I know I''m bad at loving and getting along with you. But I have decided to work on it harder. Please trust me on this." This was the first time that Kevin had acknowledged his mistakes. He had already figured out why he got so emotional and aggressive when it came to his wife. He had be overly protective ever since he first met Leena. Maybe it was proving to be too much for the both of them.000000000???
