Journey to Happy Ending

Chapter 204 Preying On Innocent Girls

As soon as Kevin parked his car, he dashed into the international airport terminal. He only hoped that it

wasn't too late to catch her; otherwise he had no idea what he should do. He knew it was a whirlwind

romance and a rash decision -- he should have gotten their parents' approval. He only did it because

he knew they didn't have enough time. However, he had never thought that Leena would be the

daughter of the noble Leng family, and that her brother would take extraordinary measures to protect

her.

The hall was crowded. People talking, laughing and crying, together with flight info being broadcast

over the P.A. system aggravated his anxiety. Kevin looked up at the departure timetable on screen,

searching for the flight to France among other flights. His eyes lit up when he finally saw it. It wouldn't

take off for a few minutes. He still had time.

He looked around anxiously for the figure that he had longed to see. There were beads of sweat on his

forehead, and he didn't bother to wipe them off. 'Where is she?' He thought to himself.

Kevin ran through the crowd and looked around, trying to find her. He became more nervous as time

went by. He narrowed his eyes and tried to silence all the distracting thoughts in his mind.

All of a sudden, he caught a glimpse of her standing nearby. He sighed in relief and darted towards her

with a smile.

Leena had given up on him. Immersed in her own sorrows, she thought maybe things wouldn't work

out between her and Kevin. That was why they had to separate right after getting married. 'Fine! I'll go

back to France myself. I'll be back someday. Will he forget about me by then? No, I want him to

remember me!' Leena thought to herself.

"Leena!" A low but eager voice called out. Leena paused in surprise.

"Kevin, you're here!" All her whinging and sobs suddenly vanished into thin air. Leena jumped joyfully

and threw herself into Kevin's arms. Kevin was surprised at her sudden move; but he soon smiled and

held Leena tight.

"Leena Leng!" Duke gritted his teeth in rage when he saw his sister hugging a stranger. Duke reached

out his hand, trying to pull Leena off the man; however, the man deftly moved both him and Leena

away from his grasp.

"Damn! Who the hell are you? What do you think you are doing?" Duke didn't expect that the man

Leena had been talking about was real. Seeing them hugging affectionately caught Duke off-guard.

"Mr. Leng, Kevin Gu. We met once at the City of Night Romance." Ignoring the fury oozing from Duke's

eyes, Kevin greeted him casually.

"What? Are you a military officer obsessed with preying on innocent girls?" Duke recognized him; he

was the man who had fought with Luke outside of the bar that night. But when did he get involved with

Leena?

"Preying on innocent girls? I wouldn't go that far. We just got married without informing our parents.

Who are you to judge us, anyway? Leena and I are both adults!" Kevin instantly retorted. He was born

into a noble family as well. Duke's overwhelming aura didn't scare him at all.

"Major General Gu, what will you do if I don't accept your marriage?" Duke sneered at the soldier. Arms

folded, he raised his chin and looked into Kevin's eyes aggressively. He would have admired his

calmness if he wasn't the one to blame for what had happened.

"Actually, I won't be worrying about that. As you can see, I'm a military officer. Do you think you can

stop a military marriage?" It wasn't Kevin's original intent to get into it with Duke. Somehow he forgot to

behave humbly when Duke tried to push him off the edge.

"So you're sure about this? And if I ask Leena to choose between us? Will you stand a chance in that

case?" Duke's tone was as cold as ice, which scared the crap out of the passers-by. But Kevin was not

just anybody. With his arms still wrapped around Leena's waist, he replied calmly, "I don't think you'll

even ask her to. What's the point? She won't give up on either of us." Kevin smirked even though he

was quite worried, because he wasn't sure whether Leena would choose him. After all, they had only

been married for two days, but Duke was her brother. The answer seemed to be obvious.

"You think you know me well? You have no slightest idea about what I'll do for Leena." Duke cast a look

at the timetable and sighed heavily in his mind. The plane had taken off; what was done was done.

Duke was furious; they were almost on board, but this man came out of nowhere and stopped them.

'Maybe he and Leena are truly meant to be.' Duke thought.

"I believe you. And I believe you won't do anything to hurt Leena." Kevin replied as calmly as he could

pretend. 'Holy crap! My brother-in-law is literally an iceberg!' Kevin growled in his mind. He suddenly

had a hunch that Duke would totally give him a hard time in the future.

"Leena, how long are you planning to hide behind this man? Come over here at once!" Duke gazed at

his little sister, who had been burying her face in Kevin's arms. Duke grew jealous. 'Is he more

important than your own brother?' He thought.

"Hmmm... Brother, I don't want to go to France." Leena stole a discreet glance at Duke. She heard

every single word of their conversation. 'Kevin's aura is no less imposing than Mr. Cold's! I never

thought that anyone could have so long a conversation with Mr. Cold without running away in terror.

Maybe Kevin is the one for me!" Leena joyfully thought to herself.

"You're not going anywhere today, since you missed your flight." Duke felt distressed. When was the

last time that he couldn't handle Leena? Never! He had known her too long, and was always the

responsible one. But today she found someone, who was not afraid of him at all.

"Yeah! Really? Then I can stay here?" Leena glanced at the timetable and jumped to her feet. It

seemed that she didn't notice the silent competition between the two men next to her. Kevin versus

Duke. It would be an interesting time.Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
