"Are you sure?" Kevin shot her a glare. He refused them because he didn't want to make Leena unhappy. He would have no choice but to follow her words if she insisted. The worst, he would need to swallow his pride and make do with the trip which would have only belonged to him and Leena.
"It's only a suggestion. Anyway, you decide." Leena was a clever woman. She would never let herself be involved in their argument. She wouldn't be the final one to win if she got herself involved.
"I see. Your answer is no answer." Kevin pursed his lips. 'Huh, when did she become so shrewd?' Kevin wondered.
"So? Kevin, you agree?" Claire looked at him as her tears turned to smiles. She felt that she was only one step away from success. No matter what, she would create a chance to make Louisa and Kevin together.
"When did I say yes? If it's me to decide, my answer is definitely no!" Kevin said as he shook his fingers before Claire to gesture a no. Claire and Louisa's faces darkened at his firm attitude. Of one accord they spontaneously shifted their gazes at Leena. Obviously, they took Leena as the cause of all the displeasure.
Leena shrugged innocently. Love was selfish, and it had zero tolerance for the third party's interference and challenge. It was impossible for Leena to bring a disaster upon herself knowing that Louisa was actually interested in Kevin. She would not fall into their trap and give her husband to another woman regardless of how much Claire might hate her.
"Kevin, please, let us go with you. I guarantee I won't say anything to make you angry. And I won't stand in the middle when you couple wants to be alone." At all events, Claire still tried to persuade him to bring them first. She would find chances to match Kevin and Louisa together once they were with them.
"Yes, Kevin, it's a rare opportunity for me to come to this city. As the host, could you do the honors and tour me around?" Louisa said in an emotional tone. She would never let such a good chance slip by.
"Uh huh, you can't make Louisa disappointed. Moreover, she is the daughter of your commander." Claire said as she looked at Leena with a smirk. She was telling Leena that Louisa was a person with high status and she was nothing compared to Louisa.
Kevin hesitated upon hearing the word commander. He could ignore Louisa but he couldn't ignore the commander. He had helped him a lot in his life and career. He didn't want others to think that he had disrespected him.
"Fine, Kevin, just let them go with us." It was Leena who eventually compromised upon seeing her husband's helpless expression. To love him was to assure that his happiness would always go first. Thus, she decided to make the pressure stop and keep him from getting even more stressed.
