Journey to Happy Ending

Chapter 196 What Should We Do Now

"Ah! Well... What should we do now?" Leena felt flustered. If Mr. Cold knew that she got married today,

what would happen to her? Probably he would strangle the life out of her! Leena thought.

"Of course you should move to my apartment first. Pack up your things tonight when you get back. I'll

pick you up. And about the wedding ceremony, I don't think we have time to hold it right now. Any

issues with this?" asked Kevin. He raised his eyebrows and gazed at her perplexed face casually. He

thought that she was really capricious, and that was lovely.

"What? You want me to move to your place? He'll kill me!" Leena said, clearly upset. She had been

wondering how to explain this to Mr. Cold. And moving in with Kevin? That meant problems.

"Don't worry about your family. I'll handle it. Just follow me to my place. Don't worry about anything

else." He didn't know what her family was like, but it sounded like she was the apple of their eyes. Her

innocence made that extremely likely. It might take a lot to bring her home.

"It's a deal then. If I'm sent back to Paris, it's your loss," said Leena. She felt delighted when she heard

Kevin's words. She finally found someone to face the angry storm from Mr. Cold. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

"Paris? Are you studying there?" Kevin asked with a frown. He had never considered it.

"Yes. But I will graduate soon. The school doesn't require us to stay there now. I only have to send

homework to my adviser. But my brother is forcing me back to France." Leena said, sadly. She pouted.

"So are you using me as the excuse for not going back?" Kevin sneered with self-mockery. It seemed

that they were in this for the same reason. They were using each other to reach their goals.

"Not really. I've always had a thing for soldiers. And you're the first guy I slept with. I'm a very traditional

girl, so I agreed to the marriage. If it was simply a matter of not going back to France, I have plenty of

ways to get out of it." When she said those words, she blushed. She usually behaved like a wild girl,

but when it came to an intimate relationship, she felt very shy.

"I should feel good about being a soldier, then. Otherwise I wouldn't have married such a beautiful wife.

I hope you can keep this good attitude in the days ahead. Because being the wife of a soldier is the

picture of loneliness and solitude." said Kevin. He shifted position and there was a mischievous smile

on his face. He wondered if she would try to back out of it now.

"Don't worry. I like loneliness and solitude." Leena smiled gracefully. It was good for her to be alone

when she was creating her designs. She didn't want to be disturbed, or she would go crazy.

But Kevin was surprised at her words. 'Shouldn't girls at her age want a life with a lot of fun and

excitement? Why was she so interested in such a boring life? Did she say this to comfort herself or did

she really think differently from others?' Kevin thought.

It was dark when they finished dinner. Some surprises still lay ahead. He didn't know that she was the

daughter of the Leng family, who owned the Leng Group. He knew about the business tycoons of the

city, and he had heard of the cold demeanor of Duke, the current CEO. He hoped that he would pass

their tests easily.

"I will visit your house tomorrow. Wait for me at home," said Kevin. He stared at her youthful and bright

face, a little concerned. He wondered if he'd be able to bring her to his apartment tomorrow. It was said

that Duke was slavishly devoted to his only sister. But it was only hearsay. He was not sure whether it

was true. But Leena was a very innocent girl, free from worldly affairs. You could see that Leena was

protected by her family and well raised.

"Ah! Tomorrow? So soon!" said Leena. She was a little worried. She was thinking she'd put it off until

she finally had to face it. Tomorrow is another day, anyway.

"Yes! I don't have much time left. The military exercise is imminent and it will take a long time. So I want

to solve everything before going. Otherwise I'd be distracted." said Kevin. He wouldn't want to know

everything if they were just dating. But now, she was his wife. She was connected to him. He would

take responsibility for her.

Although she was not the woman he loved, he would try his best to fulfill his responsibility as a

husband and forget Daisy. It wouldn't be easy, he'd have to do it gradually. He should just let it go. The

fact that he was a soldier and had to make rational decisions told him that much.

"Okay. Just be prepared for the possibility that this will end up ugly. Don't expect that I will help you. I'm

not sure I can get away with it by myself." Leena said with a frown. It was really scary when Duke blew

his top.

"Is it that scary? Who makes the decisions in your family?" There was a saying, 'If you know the enemy

and know yourself well, you need not fear the result of any battles.' If he could get the support from the

most important person, the rest would be easy to deal with. Kevin thought.

"In our family, Mr. Cold has the final say. His cold demeanor will freeze you solid. Stay strong, and don't

let him intimidate you. But don't worry, my father will be on your side. He will certainly support you."

said Leena. So now she's helping others against Duke? Duke was her brother, she was betraying him

now. There was another saying, 'A grown girl can't be kept at home.' She was proving that day by day.

"How do you know your father will be on my side?" asked Kevin. Hearing Leena's words, you'd think

that he was not about to visit her family, but to fight a battle.

"Because my father likes soldiers very much. He influenced my respect for soldiers. So he will be very

happy to see you." Leena assured him. Her eyes flashed with cunning. 'Wow! Two handsome men

vying for me. That is exciting! I can't wait to see what will happen.' Leena thought. Her eyes glowed

with eagerness as if the scene was happening before her eyes. She was so excited now.

Looking at Leena's expression, Kevin felt a shiver down his spine. He had an issue with how she

talked. He really couldn't help but wonder: 'Was she fooling me?'
