Kevin looked at Leena's back thoughtfully, remaining stock-still for a second before following her. He was confused. He knew that Leena meant to avoid him, even though she said she didn't. Leena walked off so abruptly as if she wanted to run away from him.
"So what about the cake? Have you ordered it?" Claire asked Leena eagerly as she got into the car. When she saw her brother behind Leena, she was surprised to see his strange expression. She thought the two of them were pretty close, but it seemed like they had gotten into a fight. Was something wrong? Was something not okay between them? She couldn't help but feel excited at the possibility. That was exactly what she wanted. It would be good if they got a divorce. Kevin would be single again, available to the daughters of the leading officers. Even though it was hard to get a divorce as a military officer, that didn't mean it was impossible.
"Yes. We will get the cake this afternoon," Leena answered coldly, as if she didn't want to talk to Claire. The truth was that Leena was too distracted with something on her mind.
"Claire, why don't we have our lunch outside? The rest of the family must be busy with the preparations for the gathering. They won't have time to cook," Kevin suggested after getting into the car. He had a solemn air about him, with a hint of the aloofness that belonged to a military officer.
"Maybe we should get home to help them then." In all honesty, Leena wanted to hang out and have fun like she was used to. After all, she was still like a little girl deep down. She changed a lot after marrying Kevin. Kevin's family was very serious about following rules. She couldn't act like her old self and do anything she wanted to do, like she behaved in her own family.
"There is no need for us to help them. We have a lot of servants. Plus, Lee is there too." Kevin didn't have any concerns at all. Even if Lee wasn't there, his father had appointed a guard to look after them.
"Right. Speaking of Lee, it has been a while since I saw him last. Where has h
to enjoy it. Durian is the king of fruits, you know!" Leena's mouth curled. No matter what others thought of it, she loved durian very much.
"In any case, I don't like the smell. Even if it is made of gold, I won't like it." Kevin stepped back, his voice dripping with disgust. It seemed to him that he would come across durians very often at his home in the future, seeing how much Leena loved them. She would stack them up in their house. There was no way Kevin could avoid the smell.
"Um... There is no gold for you!" Leena took a bite of the crispy durian cake, giving him a look of pleasure to show him how much she enjoyed the snack.
"I can have it if I want." Kevin raised one of his eyebrows and gave her a meaningful smile. It seemed like Leena wanted to make fun of him in front of others. She was sure that Kevin couldn't lose his temper as there were so many people around them. She forgot that he would get his revenge once they got home.
"Oh, I don't think you are so powerful. It looks like I need to be checking your phone from time to time, like other wives do. Also, it seems to me that your wallet is too thick. Maybe I should help you with that." At the banter, Leena forgot she was the daughter-in-law of the solemn Gu clan. She returned to being her usual self, a lovely little girl in her heart. She looked so adorable, like an elfin girl.
