Journey to Happy Ending

Chapter 1724 Bad Guys Started Plotting Again (Part Two)

"Hmm, how come, indeed! Okay Lee, you can drive home by yourself. Obviously, I'm going with my

wife." After these words, Kevin quickly got out of the car. Ever since they moved to the villa, Lee had

been staying with them. The villa was big and had a few spacious guestrooms. Lee had been staying in

one of them as it was convenient for both Lee and Kevin, as far as work was concerned.

"Kevin! There you are!" The corners of Leena's mouth lifted into a happy grin as soon as she saw him

walking towards her. Her cheeks were unusually red standing in the cold for too long. The wind was

blowing strongly that it must be hurting her face.

"Hey you! What are you doing here? And why do you wait out in the cold. You should have given me a

call, you silly girl! Look at you, all frozen and shivering!" Kevin reached out to touch her red cheek. As

soon as he felt the coldness of it, he couldn't help but furrow his eyebrows into a tight frown. Her warm

breath was creating small clouds of mist and her lips were trembling. Concerned that his wife might fall

ill, Kevin immediately helped her into the car and turned the heater on.

"I ran into Daisy just a few minutes earlier. She told me that you were giving your report to the

commander. So I didn't want to be a bother and interrupt your work. You were about to finish anyway.

Besides, I don't mind waiting for you. Not even in this cold weather." With these words, Leena put her

cold hands in front of her mouth and blew on them to keep warm. Daisy told her that Kevin would be

out soon, so she just waited and didn't want to call him to inform him that she was here. But to her

surprise, it took almost an hour for Kevin to get off work. And by the time he found out that she came,

Leena was almost freezing.

"Now you know that you should have waited in the car, right? Look at you! You are shivering!" Kevin

said in a seriously concerned tone, but he still took her hands in his and tried to warm them too. He

was afraid that she would catch a fever after staying out in this kind of weather.

"I am fine. Don't worry about me. You should worry about your own health. You look like you have lost

weight." Leena puckered her lips. She couldn't help but feel that life was really unfair sometimes. She

had put in a lot of effort to lose weight, after gaining several pounds due to her pregnancy. But Kevin

just did it so easily. He was only away from home for a week and Leena could easily tell that he had NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

become significantly thinner than before. Admittedly, he looked more handsome, showing a sharper

jawline.

"I just didn't eat well the last few days. The food was not so nice. I miss your cooking!" Losing weight

was a normal thing for Kevin whenever he went out on a mission. It was even normal for him to not eat

anything all day. On several occasions, he had gone a few days without food as part of his survival

training, so he had gotten kind of used to it already. Not eating wasn't a big deal when he was at work.

He could totally handle it.

"I don't know what to say. I want you to eat healthy and be healthy but at the same time, I am so

jealous of you. You can lose weight so quickly while I have to work hard for it, and the results are

dismal at best!" Leena puckered up again. She didn't know if she would feel sorry for Kevin or be

jealous of him. She had been trying so hard to go back to her originally fit shape, while Kevin already

had a perfect body without even trying.

"What are you talking about? You are not even fat for God's sake! I like how you look right now. No, I

love how you look right now. You look beautiful with a healthy glow. You were too skinny before. What

do you want? Please don't tell me that you want to go back being bony and skinny." Kevin couldn't help

but raise his eyebrows at her. He didn't know what Leena was thinking right now. In his opinion, she

looked much healthier than she did before, which he liked better. She was curvy and sexy in the right

places at just the right amount, instead of just skin and bones. Contrary to what most women thought,

this was what a lot of men liked.

"Pffft. I wasn't even that skinny, okay?" Leena felt amused. She knew that Kevin was just exaggerating

to make her feel better. But she didn't dwell on that issue anymore. "Come on, let's go home."

"Next time, if you want to come and pick me up, don't wait outside. Just wait for me in the car. This is

just ridiculously cold. You don't have to endure this kind of harshness." Kevin let go of her hands while

saying these words. He glanced at the army base through the window and found that no one was

looking their way. Then he leaned forward and kissed Leena gently on the mouth. The kiss was quick

and light.

"But I can see you the minute you are out when I am standing outside," Leena countered back, grinning

with an innocent look on her face. At this moment, it was hard to tell that she was actually a mother

because she looked and acted like a childish girl instead. Kevin couldn't help but shake his head fondly

at her behavior. She was just irresistibly cute sometimes.

"You silly silly girl. That's why I love you so much, Nana." It seemed that Leena would be the death of

him. She was still so innocent and so kind after all the things that they had been through. Kevin silently

let out a helpless sigh. He felt warm, taking time to enjoy this precious moment.

"Hey! I am not silly!" Leena slapped his arm a few times in fake annoyance. She knew that Kevin didn't

mean anything bad by his words. He was just too fond of her. In fact, Leena could feel his love for her

in his words and she was happy about it. She loved him more.

Love was really a mystery, something amazing to have and to give. Leena could see every little special

thing about Kevin, and she would just fall in love with each one of them.

Leena spent a whole week designing the dress for Annie. And while she was busy with it, Rain went

back to the UK with Annie and their two kids. Though he was beaten up by his brother-in-law, he still

got the approval he always wanted. He deserved it anyway. Annie's family had agreed to let him marry

their own little princess and Rain couldn't be happier.

Annie was also thrilled when she heard the good news, and she was in a very good mood the next few

days. But her good mood didn't last too long when the perennially annoying, company bitch came up to

pester her.

"Annie An, is Mr. Xia really married to you?" Eleanor just couldn't bite her tongue. She felt so upset and

jealous when she saw the big and beautiful wedding ring on Annie's finger. She just couldn't

understand how she had lost to this ordinary designer in front of her. Why? Why wasn't she, the

beautiful Eleanor the one whom Rain chose to marry?

"Yes. Hard to believe, right? He is my husband now and that makes me Mrs. Xia!" Annie raised her

head and replied in a firm tone. She looked at her with calm eyes, unafraid to face an insecure woman

like Eleanor. In her eyes, Eleanor was just a childish and spoiled model who needed to know her place.
