Watching Louisa in the mirror, he shed a victorious smile. He thought he had been too nice to Louisa, but he couldn''t hold his tongue tonight and gave her what she deserved. It seemed that she had never learned her lesson. He decided to stay away from her from now on.


    It was still early when he arrived at Grand Apartment. An empty living room weed him, which made him feel lonely. ''Oh Nana, '' he thought, ''what are you doing right now? I miss you so much!''


    He turned on theputer, but didn''t know how to kill time with it. Then he noticed the QQ application on the desktop. He hadn''t logged in since applying for an ount thest time. Why did he, a military man, have the need for it? Nheless, with nothing else to do, he decided to log in.


    There was only one person in his buddy list, and it was Leena. Her avatar was grayed out, which meant that she was not online. She had a few updated moments. In the QQ application, a "moment" is an update, story or random thought that a user wants to share with friends. Seeing Leena''s moments in the app, Kevin clicked on one to view the full text.


    "I miss him. I really really miss him. Am I going crazy? We''ve been parted for just one day, but my mind is filled with nothing but him. What am I going to do? Damn! I must focus on my work!"


    Taking a look at the update time, Kevin saw that it was posted just the day before. If she had missed him so much, then why hadn''t she called him?


    He took out his phone from his pocket, not knowing if he should call her now. After a long moment of hesitation, he was defeated by his sensibility and dialed the familiar number.


    "Kevin! Hi! Why are you calling me now? How are you? Have you eaten? I''m so d to hear your voice!" Leena fired him questions one after another, tears streaming down her cheeks. She had been trying not to call him, because she knew she would burst into tears when hearing his voice. She didn''t expect Kevin to take the initiative to call her.


    "Nana, what''s wrong with you?" Kevin got nervous on hearing her choked voice, and wondered what had happened to her.


    "It''s all your fault. I''ve tried so hard not to miss you. But you called and now I''m crying!" Leena sobbed out her feelings. How she wished she could throw everything away and juste back home to him.


    "Sorry, Nana. But if you really miss me, you should want to hear my voice, right?" Kevin didn''t understand what she wanted or what was going on in her head. Women''s wants and needs are not only different but also very fickle!


    "But then, I will think of you even more after hearing your voice. People are like that, always wanting more," Leenained. She knew she was defying logic, but she just couldn''t help it.


    "All right. It''s all my fault. I won''t call you again next time, okay?" Kevin teased, amused by Leena''s words, and decided to make no defense. As the saying goes, "Never try to reason with women."


    "What? If you don''t call me, then I would be worried about you," Leena retorted. In the past, she was willing to suffer in silence. But now, she was acting more willful in front of Kevin. This meant that she was now more confident with their rtionship.Copyright N?v/el/Dra/ma.Org.


    "Okaaay... Then just tell me, what should I do to make you happy, or at least to lessen your misery over there." Kevin was able neither to cry nor tough. This was the part where men had no idea what women wanted. But deep inside, Kevin was d to know that Leena was back to being the happy-go-lucky girl that she once was.


    "Kevin, do you think I''m going too far with this? Am I being unreasonable now?" Leena asked while watching her staff cut cloth ording to her specifications. It was different from other ordinary fabrics and special attention was required in dealing with it. She walked towards them immediately for fear that they might destroy it.


    "For me, you will never go too far, because you are my wife. I will ept every part of you no matter what," Kevin said affectionately. Since they had gotten morefortable confessing their feelings for each other, Kevin was no longer embarrassed to speak with honeyed words.


    "Come on, Kevin. You are making me cry again!" Leena signaled her employees to stop and nned to cut the cloth by herselfter.


    "You already cried, Nana," Kevin said softly while continuing to browse on the Inte, this time reading her blog. It was not until now did he realize that Leena was a creature of emotions. Her posts in her blog revealed that.


    "Come on! Why did you have to say that? Now, I feel so ashamed," Leena grumbled pursing her lips. Though she was talking to Kevin in anguage her employees didn''t understand, she still felt embarrassed and awkward, walking away to get out of earshot. There might be a chance that one of them would understand hernguage.


    "So Babe, have you eaten yet?" Kevin checked the time and found it was dinner time where she was.


    "Not yet. I''ll go get something to eat after work. Honey, isn''t itte? Why don''t you go to sleep? Besides, I need to get back to work now." After saying that, Leena also checked the time. It would take a long time toplete her scheduled tasks for the day, so she decided to eat first and thene back to finish it.


    "All right. Remember to eat on time and always take extra precautions, Nana. Be on your guard at all times," Kevin reminded her. He was so worried about her as he knew she would be too preupied and would be unable to take good care of herself. "Got it! Okay, good night, Kevin. I love you!" Despite the unwillingness to hang up, Leena said goodbye and decided toplete the work that she came to do, as early as possible so that she could go back home to her beloved husband.


    Staring at his phone, Kevin couldn''t help but sigh at the very thought of Leena''s miserable face. As a soldier, he knew they had to separate from each other from time to time in the future as he had to carry out military tasks. She would have to get used to more separation.0000
