"Mr. Lu, you may leave now. Your wife should reflect on what happened today." Kevin didn't want to put Leena in an awkward situation, but neither did he want to spare these people easily. Otherwise, they would not learn a lesson from this.
"Sure! I'm leaving with her now. I'm sure she will reflect on her actions profoundly." Mr. Lu heaved a long sigh of relief when he realized that Kevin would not be making things difficult for them. He immediately said yes, for he was afraid that Kevin could go back on his words.
"Although it was your wife who did wrong, you too should take the blame for not having disciplined her. You must examine your actions as well," Kevin said in a cold voice. Kevin's words brought Mr. Lu's heart into his mouth. Scared that Kevin was on the cusp of changing his mind, he immediately agreed.
"You're absolutely right, Major General Gu! I will do that as soon as I get home." He was itching to leave as soon as possible. Otherwise, Kevin would not let him go so easily.
"All right. You may take your leave," Kevin said with a frown. 'Leena must be hungry. If it weren't for these people, the dinner would have been cooked by now, ' Kevin thought.
"Goodbye then. We're leaving." Mr. Lu bowed before leaving the house with his wife.
"Goodbye!" Leena cast a cold glance at Mrs. Lu. She disliked her immensely because of her arrogant attitude, but she decided to let it go. After all, Mr. Lu was a reasonable man and had apologized to her sincerely. Moreover, they were neighbors. As the saying went, it was better to save trouble.
"They finally left. I almost had a headache because of that woman," Belinda sighed and rubbed her temples. Normally, she was busy throughout the day. Today when she had finally managed to visit Kevin and Leena, she really didn't expect to witness this drama.
"Belinda, I'm sorry. It's all my fault. I'm such a troublemaker." Leena bit her lower lip, terribly embarrassed.
"I'm going to the kitchen to make dinner. You two enjoy talking. The dinner will be ready soon!" Kevin took a close look at Leena's face before going into the kitchen. He felt dejected. 'Leena didn't tell me about this and even covered her wounds with make-up. She didn't want me to find out that she was hurt. But why? Was it because she didn't want me to worry about her? Or maybe she doesn't feel like she is dependent on me?' he wondered, as a myriad of thoughts flooded him.
'Last time when she got into the car accident, she didn't tell me about it either. I found out about it myself. This is not right. I'm her husband and the closest person to her. She always hides things from me as if I were an outsider!'
"Is your face all right? The scratches look a little bad. You'd better ask Tom to prescribe some medicine for you. Otherwise, you would get scars on your face." Belinda was worried about Leena. It would be such a pity if her pretty little face got scars. Once Leena's sworn brothers found out about this, they would go berserk and try to avenge her.
"It's okay. I'll apply medicine on my face later. It will recover soon." Leena touched her face softly. They were just scratches. She wasn't too concerned about them.
Kevin was a skilled cook. The dinner was ready within half an hour and the food was placed on the table. Leena was surprised to find that all the dishes were new to her. Kevin wanted her to taste the different dishes.
"How do you find the food, ladies?" Kevin stared at them, a little worried. He hadn't cooked in a long time and was afraid that he wasn't as good as he used to be.
"They're all delicious! I didn't expect a man like you to be a good cook. I'm so ashamed of myself." Belinda felt a little embarrassed that she couldn't cook. The dishes Kevin made were so tasty. Belinda wondered if she should find some time to learn how to cook.
