The car was started and driven out slowly. Claire looked at Leena complacently, not trying to mask her real purpose. Obviously, she did not consider Leena to be a family member, her sister-in-law, at all.
There was no doubt that Louisa was extremely satisfied with such deliberate arrangement. This way, she and Kevin looked like a couple since Claire and Leena were sitting on the back seats. She was much closer to Kevin. Meanwhile, from Claire's behavior, it could be deduced that Claire thought the same as her. An ordinary woman such as Leena who had no background would never match up to Kevin or be qualified to be his wife. Right now, Louisa felt that her chances of marrying Kevin were high. She believed that Leena was just a Cinderella who did not deserve a prince like Kevin.
Leena decided to ignore the provocation from Claire. She took out her phone and browsed on it. 'Far from eye, far from heart, ' that was how Leena thought. She did not want to trouble herself by making any responses to Claire.
With her fingertip sliding on the screen effortlessly, Leena soon finished editing her new post. She hesitated, wondering whether she should post it or not. Finally, she bit her lip and pressed the send button. She was sure that Kevin would never see it. As far as she remembered, he had never sent her a friend request. And she never asked him if he had a QQ account either. They had no connections whatsoever on social media.
Kevin took one look at Leena through the rear-view mirror and found that she was completely lost in her own world, like there weren't three other people with her in the car. She seemed to be calm and indifferent, just like she had been before.
"Kevin, Louisa and you have known each other for a long time. So why didn't you marry her?" Huh. It seemed to Leena that she was invisible in Claire's eyes. Why else would she ask such a rude question when Leena was present, without thinking twice about it?
"Why should I have married her?" Kevin asked back carelessly. He didn't consider Louisa's feelings. Perhaps he didn't know why Claire asked him to drive at first. But now, it finally dawned on him what she was trying to do. He was not a fool.
"Isn't she just great? I also think our families are perfect for each other," Claire said the unbelievable words as she pursed her lips. She despised Leena so much.
"It does not matter to me how great she is. Claire, I don't want to hear those words ever again, especially coming from you," Kevin replied distantly, warning her. All of a sudden, the temperature seemed to drop a few degrees. His words left no doubt that he was warning Louisa too.
