"I'm flattered, Miss Ye. You invited me again and again, and I was embarrassed to keep refusing you. I deeply appreciate your kindness." Kevin gave a mocking smile.
"Sorry. You must think I'm annoying." Shyly looking askance at Kevin, Louisa pursed her lips.
"No, no. Don't get me wrong." Kevin explained anxiously. No matter how much he wanted to ignore Louisa, he didn't hate her, at least.
"Good. Look, Kevin, this is the necklace you gave me. It looks beautiful on me, doesn't it?" Louisa reached out to touch the necklace around her neck. She didn't want to model the necklace for him, but instead directed his attention to her large breasts.
"Yeah. It looks good." Kevin cast an indifferent look at the necklace. He didn't allow his fancy to run wild, and the expression in his eyes was so pure, like a dustless crystal.
"I must say that you have good taste, Kevin. This is the new popular style in Europe and America this year. You're a major general. I didn't expect you to have such a keen sense of fashion." Louisa displayed a charming smile. She didn't mind Kevin's indifference. She thought that all successful men had a massive ego, so she could understand why Kevin was cold to her.
"I'm glad you like it. But you overestimate me. I know nothing about the latest trends. I didn't choose it personally. Someone else helped me buy it." Kevin explained slowly.
"I really like it though! Thank you so much!" Louisa bowed her head shyly, appearing to be lovingly pathetic.
"You're welcome. Let's order something. Dinner's on me tonight." Kevin picked up the menu and studied it.
"No, no. As I said on the phone, it's my treat. How can I let you pay the bill? Order whatever you like. Don't hold back because of me." Louisa rubbed her hands anxiously.
"That's certainly very generous of you, Louisa. Then I'll order the most expensive dishes." Kevin threw a joking glance at Louisa. Instead of ordering the most expensive dishes as he said, he just ordered some more reasonably priced ones.
"Good idea. How are your dishwashing skills? We might need to wash the dish to pay for the dinner then." Louisa knew he was joking, so she didn't worry that Kevin would do as he threatened.
"You aren't nerv age.
"Stop that. I won't believe it. Taste this. It's yummy." Louisa sniffed back her tears and smiled as if she didn't hear what Kevin said. She put some food onto his plate for him to try.
"Are you alright, Miss Ye?" Kevin asked cautiously. He thought Louisa would kick up a fuss, but he was surprised to find that she pulled it together. She recovered quickly, and her voice dropped down to a more normal level.
"Yes, I'm fine. Forget it. Let's eat." Louisa grinned beautifully. Deep in her heart, she wished to slap hard the woman who got married with Kevin.
"Good to hear it. I thought you wouldn't let it go." Kevin breathed a sigh of relief as he mistakenly thought that Louisa had accepted this fact. He was glad that she didn't go to extremes, or he really wouldn't know how to explain it to the commander.
"Relax. I'm okay. But I won't believe a bit of this before I see your wife." Louisa clenched her fists and gritted her teeth. She never expected her love to come to an end before it started. It was the last thing that she could accept. She was proud and stubborn under that pliant exterior. How could she give up so easily? She wouldn't allow such a tragic thing to happen to her.
"Miss Ye, this is all completely unnecessary. It doesn't matter if you believe it or not, it's just water under the bridge. You have so many good men to choose from. Don't waste your time on me." Kevin felt helpless. Louisa stubbornly closed her ears to everything he said.
