"Leena, come on in! Your father is waiting inside for you." Shannon turned her head and smiled gently at Leena. Well, she was quite satisfied with her daughter-in-law for now, no matter what anyone else thought. But she still looked too young. Shannon didn't know if she could take proper care of herself. And that was something that concerned her a lot. If she couldn't take care of herself, then what good was she to Kev?
"Dad, look! I told you Kevin would come home early!" Claire walked past them before they even entered the room. She ran to Nathan's side and smugly said those words. At the same time, she looked at Leena and raised one of her eyebrows. It seemed that Leena still hadn't gotten her approval even she said so many nice things about her.
"Yeah." Nathan Gu was indeed how Kevin had described him. He was a very serious man who rarely smiled. You couldn't help but fear him when he was in front of you. He had that kind of power, a quiet authority. So it was understandable that Leena was very nervous because she wanted to leave a good impression. And the only thing Claire was doing was tearing her down.
"Dad, we're back. Leena, this is our father." Kevin was docile in front of his father. He didn't joke and laugh like when he was with his friends. And that was also very different from the way Claire acted around their father. Leena didn't know if he was being this serious only because he was a soldier. She bet that it might be something else, too.
"Dad, hello! I'm Leena Leng, you can call me Leena." Leena introduced herself nicely. Only Kevin knew how nervous she was, because her hand was all sweaty even in the cold weather. But Leena wiped her hand off on her blouse, and kept herself from freaking out.
"Leena, hello. Now that you're married to Kevin, you are family now. Make
Drugged one night by her ex-boyfriend, a mysterious man took advantage of her in an ecstatic night filled with sex.
To take her revenge, she married the man, and used him.
"As long as I'm alive, I'm still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses."
She remained adamant even when he was involved in scandals with other women.
Eventually she stormed off after she learned that he had betrayed her again. But life brought her back to him a few years later, to his astonishment.
g about it. She had successfully survived the 'meet and greet, ' if she said so. Now, all she needed to do was try to get on everyone's good side and get along with them, especially Claire. She had a feeling that this would be an extremely tough task.
"Yeah! I almost forget that you are the little princess of the Leng family. And there's nothing you can't do." Kevin shook his head and looked at Leena helplessly.
"No, you're wrong. Everything's harder when you're around." Leena blurted out these words because she just couldn't help herself. But she didn't want Kevin to dwell on them. Because she had made peace with the fact that she could never truly have his heart a long time ago.
"How come? Why is everything difficult for you when I'm here? I don't understand." Kevin's eyebrows frowned. He was quite confused about her words. He had no idea what kind of difficulty she was referring to.
"Well... That's something you don't need to know." Leena let out a silent sigh. She had a feeling that she was never going to say that kind of things that buried deep in her heart to him. After all, she didn't want him to think that she was being petty or demanding. That was the last thing she wanted.
