"Okay. Have a safe drive." Kevin was relieved. On the phone, Leena sounded okay.


    "Okay. Be with you in a sec." Leena hung up and put her phone down. Kevin would be worried if he saw her red and swollen eyes, but she didn''t have sunsses in her car. At this thought, she swung by a shop.


    Kevin took off his military coat and obediently went into the kitchen to take out the ingredients from the refrigerator. Instead of waiting for Leena till she got back, he began to prepare it himself. Leena shouldn''t have to do anything. They could have lunch as soon as she came back.


    After Leena parked her car, she looked in the mirror and saw that her eyes were still red and swollen. She sighed. It was impossible to reduce the swelling in such a short time. She had to wear the sses she just bought. The sunsses would arouse Kevin''s suspicion, so she bought a pair of non-prescription sses. In this way, she would be able to muddle through. Otherwise she really didn''t know how to exin why she wore sunsses in the house.


    At the door, she hesitated for a while, but then decided to go in. Kevin might suspect something if she spent too much time at the door. Besides, she didn''t know whether Kevin had to rush back to the army base this afternoon, so she had to prepare lunch quickly. To her surprise, as soon as she opened the door, the smell of delicious food greeted her. She took a few deep breaths, making her feel better momentarily.


    She knew she still had to face Kevin no matter whether the tidbit was true or not. Therefore, she didn''t intend to waste time. She held back her sadness and walked to the kitchen with a sweet smile.


    "Oh my god, Kevin! I told you to just thaw the frozen ingredients. I wasn''t expecting this! Everything smells and looks good and really appetizing!" She said as she walked up to Kevin, trying to act natural.


    "Yeah. It''ll be done in a minute. Are you wearing sses? Since when did you start wearing sses?" Kevin looked back at Leena. The sses didn''t fit her well, making her look weird.


    "Well, my eyes feel a bit of a sting these days, so I wear sses to protect them from the light." Leena had thought of the excuse on her way back. She needed it to sound usible.


    "Maybe it''s because you always burn the midnight oil, working till morning. I tried to warn you about it many times, but you didn''t listen to me." Kevin felt strange, but didn''t think much about it. He had no idea that Leena''s eyes were swollen from crying. He thought if she really misunderstood him, she would not be this calm and would be throwing the biggest tantrum by now.


    "Don''t worry. I''ll be all right in a couple of days. Let me set the table." Leena was relieved that Kevin didn''t ask more. She took out the chopsticks and bowls from the cupboard and walked briskly out. The moment she turned around, the smile on her face disappeared and was reced by a doleful frown.


    Kevin was a little bothered. He felt that something was wrong, but he didn''t know what was that. He shook his head and continued to wash the vegetables. He decided to exin the issue between Dorothy and him after lunch.


    "Help me roll up my sleeves, Nana," Kevin asked Leena for help as his sleeves slid towards his wrists when he was washing the vegetables.


    "Sure. On my way." Leena once again pretended to be calm. She thought inwardly with a bitter smile that she could win the best actress award if she were an actress because she could perfectly hide her emotions in an instant, with no one being able to see through her. The water in winter was ice-cold. Leena shivered as her slender fingers touched the cold water running on Kevin''s arms. She always soaked her hands in hot water before she washed vegetables. She didn''t dare to directly wash them, because the cold water would chill her to the bone.


    "It''s chilly, right?" Kevin looked up at Leena, with an apologetic look in his eyes. He felt deeply guilty at the thought that she was exposed to cold water every day to prepare dinner for him and tidy up the house. She didn''t need to do these things, but she did them without anyints. Kevin always thought that he was the luckiest man to have Leena as his wife.


    "Sort of, but it''s okay." She smiled with embarrassment. She kept her head down and didn''t dare to look at Kevin. She was afraid that Kevin would see through her little game.Property ? 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.


    "Thanks, Nana." Kevin seldom thanked Leena. He thought marriage was a two way thing, so both of them should assume their respective responsibilities. But somehow he wanted to say "thank you" to her today. He thanked her for her selfless love, but he did not say it. "Ha ha! What''s up? What do you thank me for out of the blue?" Leena giggled. Kevin gazed at her with seriousness and emotion, and she felt herself blush. She quickly ran out but Kevin didn''t stop her. He just shook his head and started to cook thest dish. Time was running short, so he didn''t cook too many dishes. He just cooked some simple ones that Leena liked. Obviously, he did this to tell Leena how much he loved her.


    There was no escape from reality and from the truth. After lunch, Kevin made some tea and asked Leena to sit next to him. It was time to exin the thing between Dorothy and him. Although she didn''t bring it up, she looked very preupied. Kevin had to get rid of her hang-up.000
