"Hmm, how come, indeed! Okay Lee, you can drive home by yourself. Obviously, I'm going with my wife." After these words, Kevin quickly got out of the car. Ever since they moved to the villa, Lee had been staying with them. The villa was big and had a few spacious guestrooms. Lee had been staying in one of them as it was convenient for both Lee and Kevin, as far as work was concerned.
"Kevin! There you are!" The corners of Leena's mouth lifted into a happy grin as soon as she saw him walking towards her. Her cheeks were unusually red standing in the cold for too long. The wind was blowing strongly that it must be hurting her face.
"Hey you! What are you doing here? And why do you wait out in the cold. You should have given me a call, you silly girl! Look at you, all frozen and shivering!" Kevin reached out to touch her red cheek. As soon as he felt the coldness of it, he couldn't help but furrow his eyebrows into a tight frown. Her warm breath was creating small clouds of mist and her lips were trembling. Concerned that his wife might fall ill, Kevin immediately helped her into the car and turned the heater on.
"I ran into Daisy just a few minutes earlier. She told me that you were giving your report to the commander. So I didn't want to be a bother and interrupt your work. You were about to finish anyway. Besides, I don't mind waiting for you. Not even in this cold weather." With these words, Leena put her cold hands in front of her mouth and blew on them to keep warm. Daisy told her that Kevin would be out soon, so she just waited and didn't want to call him to inform him that she was here. But to her surprise, it took almost an hour for Kevin to get off work. And by the time he found out that she came, Leena was almost freezing.
"Now you know that you should have waited in the car, right? Look at you! You are shivering!" Kevin said in a seriously concerned tone, but he still took her hands in his and tried to warm them too. He was afraid that she would catch a fever after staying out in this kind of weather.
"I am fine. Don't worry about me. You should worry about your own health. You look like you have lost weight." Leena puckered her lips. She couldn't help but feel that life was really unfair sometimes. She had put in a lot of effort to lose weight, after gaining several pounds due to her pregnancy. But Kevin just did it so easily. He was only away from home for a week and Leena could easily tell that he had become significantly thinner than before. Admittedly, he looked more handsome, showing a sharper jawline.
"I just didn't eat well the last few days. The food was not so nice. I miss your cooking!" Losing weight was a normal thing for Kevin whenever he went out on a mission. It was even normal for him to not eat anything all day. On several occasions, he had gone a few days without food as part of his survival training, so he had gotten kind of used to it already. Not eating wasn't a big deal when he was at work. He could totally handle it.
"I don't know what to say. I want you to eat healthy and be healthy but at the same time, I am so jealous of you. You can lose weight so quickly while I have to work hard for it, and the results are dismal at best!" Leena puckered up again. She didn't know if she would feel sorry for Kevin or be jealous of him. She had been trying so hard to go back to her originally fit shape, while Kevin already had a perfect body without even trying.
"What are you talking about? You are not even fat for God's sake! I like how you look right now. No, I love how you look right now. You look beautiful with a healthy glow. You were too skinny before. What do you want? Please don't tell me that you want to go back being bony and skinny." Kevin couldn't help but raise his eyebrows at her. He didn't know what Leena was thinking right now. In his opinion, she looked much healthier than she did before, which he liked better. She was curvy and sexy in the right places at just the right amount, instead of just skin and bones. Contrary to what most women thought, this was what a lot of men liked.
