"Ah! Well... What should we do now?" Leena felt flustered. If Mr. Cold knew that she got married today, what would happen to her? Probably he would strangle the life out of her! Leena thought.
"Of course you should move to my apartment first. Pack up your things tonight when you get back. I'll pick you up. And about the wedding ceremony, I don't think we have time to hold it right now. Any issues with this?" asked Kevin. He raised his eyebrows and gazed at her perplexed face casually. He thought that she was really capricious, and that was lovely.
"What? You want me to move to your place? He'll kill me!" Leena said, clearly upset. She had been wondering how to explain this to Mr. Cold. And moving in with Kevin? That meant problems.
"Don't worry about your family. I'll handle it. Just follow me to my place. Don't worry about anything else." He didn't know what her family was like, but it sounded like she was the apple of their eyes. Her innocence made that extremely likely. It might take a lot to bring her home.
"It's a deal then. If I'm sent back to Paris, it's your loss," said Leena. She felt delighted when she heard Kevin's words. She finally found someone to face the angry storm from Mr. Cold.
"Paris? Are you studying there?" Kevin asked with a frown. He had never considered it.
"Yes. But I will graduate soon. The school doesn't require us to stay there now. I only have to send homework to my adviser. But my brother is forcing me back to France." Leena said, sadly. She pouted.
"So are you using me as the excuse for not going back?" Kevin sneered with self-mockery. It seemed that they were in this for the same reason. They were using each other to reach their goals.
"Not really. I've always had a thing for soldiers. And you're the first guy I slept with. I'm a very traditional girl, so I agreed to the marriage. If it was simply a matter of not going back to France, I have plenty of ways to get out of it." When she said those words, she blushed. She usually behaved like a wild girl, but when it came to an intimate relationship, she felt very shy.
"I should feel good about being a soldier, then. Otherwise I wouldn't have married such a beautiful wife. I hope you can keep this good attitude in the days ahead. Because being the wife of a soldier is the picture of loneliness and solitude." said Kevin. He shifted position and there was a mischievous smile on his face. He wondered if she would try to back out of it now.
"Don't worry. I like loneliness and solitude." Leena smiled gracefully. It was good for her to be alone when she was creating her designs. She didn't want to be disturbed, or she would go crazy.
