"Oh! How could you be so cruel to me? Besides, you're the one who half-carried me up here! It's not fair!" Leena felt pressured and a bit wronged at Kevin's suggestion. She could not help but shiver a bit as soon as she thought of her father-in-law seriously staring at her. It was not because she was afraid of him, but that she felt quite intimidated at his extremely powerful countenance.
"That's the punishment for you." Kevin let out an evil smile and then walked out. Leena was left alone, helpless and dumbfounded at his childish behavior.
The moment Kevin walked downstairs, his mother was waiting by the living room, staring at him with burning and questioning eyes, her arms folded across her chest. He took a glimpse at the suitcase beside her and immediately knew why. Lee must have told her everything.
"Is there anything you'd like! I'm getting her some food." Kevin frowned a bit and felt a bit awkward thanks to his mother's piercing look into his soul. But he brushed off the awkwardness and kept himself as calm as he had always been. The distant and indifferent expression on his face blocked everyone who tried to see through him.
"I've already sent Maud to do it. So, don't you ever try to find any excuse and get away from me." Shannon knew her son's intention. She was his mother, after all. She was intentionally stopping him and blocking his way so that she could have the chance to make fun of him. As far as Shannon was concerned, he must have been too horny, missing his wife all too much and had already done something with her daughter-in-law!
"I'm not a criminal. Why should I run away from you?" Kevin replied, eyes shifting. He wondered since when did his mother become a gossiper.
"Where's Leena? What did you do to her?!" Oh, she missed her too and her son knew it! But what did he do? He took her to his room without so much as a hello, not allowing her to see his mother!
"Oh, God! My dear Mom! Is that the kind of man you think I am?" Kevin said in a helpless tone. There was not much time at all. Even if he wanted to do "something" to her, the time would be too short?
"Then, tell me, why didn't she come down with you?" Shannon twisted the corners of her mouth a bit. Although she was an adult and of course knew all of these things, she still felt a bit embarrassed hearing her son say those words in an arrogant tone.
"She is taking a shower. Any problem?" Kevin frowned a bit. He was confused why his mother asked him such a question. His face looked even more handsome and heroic in the military suit.
