"What are you looking at? Hurry up and take these criminals to the ICPO. Send them away," Daisy waved her hands at them and urged them to leave. It was the couple's happy moment. They shouldn't be disturbed.
"Yes, Senior Colonel Ouyang. We will get going," Hawkeye said and hurriedly took the criminal away. His loud voice startled the couple, who were in an embrace.
"Sis Daisy." Leena left Kevin's arms and turned to Daisy. She hugged Daisy, sniffing her light jasmine scent. Leena blushed when she thought of how she had misunderstood things back at the restaurant. She had been convinced that Daisy and Kevin were truly dating.
"Leena, you scared both of us!" Daisy had hardly recovered from the shock. Fortunately, Kevin had taken the lead and saved Leena. Daisy couldn't imagine what would have transpired if he hadn't knocked down the gun seconds ahead of her. She had to admit that with regards to speed, she could never outmaneuver Kevin. Moreover, he was backed by the power of his love, so his speed had been unusually fast. Kevin's anxiety had been plain to see.
"Sorry. I didn't expect that this would happen to us. We didn't expect to run into your task. Sorry for causing you so much trouble." Leena felt incredibly guilty. She never wanted Kevin and Daisy to be subject to the gangster's demands just because of her.
"Don't say that. You did not trouble us. Even if it was not someone we know, it's our duty to ensure the safety of every citizen. Stop worrying your little head!"
Daisy patted Leena's forehead, feigning a sullen look. It had been a close shave. Daisy had held her breath when she realized that Leena intended to knock down the gangster. In such a critical moment when Leena's life was hanging by a thread, Daisy didn't know how to stop her from risking her life. She didn't even get the opportunity to warn Kevin. She could only cooperate with Leena. Daisy had been too late to control the gangster and couldn't imagine how it would have ended if Kevin hadn't reacted quickly to the situation.
Kevin's gaze was still fixed on Leena. His eyes brimmed with deep affection. He had finally figured out his heart just moments ago. It was not like Kevin never had any feelings for her, he just didn't know when she had so quietly walked into his heart. She caught him off-guard and won him over, and now she was the most important person in his life.
"Mignonne, you are finally out of danger." Gerard walked over to Leena and hugged her tightly after he saw the criminal being taken away. This sudden move surprised Leena, who had just left Daisy's arms. She was totally unprepared for it.
"Gerard, I'm fine now. Thanks." Leena glanced at Kevin, a little embarrassed. She was concerned that Kevin would misunderstand such an intimate gesture between her and Gerard.
As soon as Gerard came into his sight again, Kevin began to question who he was. He wondered how this handsome foreigner knew Leena. Were they school mates? Or were they friends? It never occurred to Kevin that this handsome guy was Leena's admirer.
"Nana, is he your friend?" Kevin drew her back promptly, releasing her from Gerard's arms. He circled an arm around her, as if announcing that Leena was his woman.
"Who are you and why did you drag Mignonne away from me?" Gerard was confused and didn't realize that Kevin was Leena's husband.
"Em... Ah... Gerard, he is my husband, so..." Leena intentionally paused and didn't finish the sentence. She was sure that Gerard would understand what she meant.
"What?" Gerard couldn't believe her words. He thought that the man she liked would be the gentle type. How could she fall in love with a tough soldier?
