He suddenly remembered that he hadn't sent the pictures to Leena. He quickly ran over to his study to turn on the computer. Connecting his phone to the computer, he sent all the photos he had taken today to Leena, writing to her that he was fine so she didn't have to worry anymore. He walked back downstairs to finish his dinner.
Leena had stayed home all day today. Once she received the e-mail that Kevin sent her, she opened it immediately and looked through every photo. She was extremely careful, since she knew it must have taken Kevin a long time to capture these photographs. She had to treat them with respect. At first, she had thought about letting Kevin make the decision, but then she worried that maybe it would make Kevin unhappy. It was a house gifted to her by her brother. Edward and Kevin didn't get along very well. She was afraid that Kevin would think that Edward had chosen a house as their wedding gift because he didn't think Kevin was able to give her what she wanted by himself.
It took Leena more than half an hour to finally decide on a house she liked the most. She sent the pictures of the house directly to Edward, so that Kevin didn't have to spend more time on this. She also needed to give Kevin a phone call and tell him that she had already made the decision, in case he thought that she didn't receive his e-mail.
Because he wasn't at the army base this afternoon, Kevin had taken all the documents he needed to read at home. When his phone rang, he was sitting at the computer and typing. He picked up the phone, which was lying on the table in front of him. He was startled to see Leena's name on the screen. It was quite a surprise. He did not expect that she would see his e-mail and call him back so quickly.
"Leena, have you made your choice?" Kevin stopped what he was doing to answer the call. He himself didn't realize that he was smiling affectionately as he asked her the question.
"Yeah, I have. And I have already sent the photos to Edward directly. So you don't have to waste more time on this." Listening to her melodious voice, Kevin's heart melted. He really liked her voice.
"That's excellent. I was worried that I couldn't make enough time because I need to go and see the companies tomorrow." Upon hearing her words, Kevin let out a sigh of relief. He didn't ask her which house she had chosen, because it didn't matter. As long as she liked her choice, it was enough for him.
"I am sorry! I know you are already so busy, and you still spent much time doing this kind of things for me." Leena knew that he was quite busy, so she usually did not bother him while he was at work. As a result, she had learnt everything by herself when she was alone at home - such as how to pay the bills for gas, water and electricity. Now she was a pro at this kind of things.
"Leena, you don't need to say sorry to me, okay? Don't forget that we are a couple now. It's our responsibility to worry and do things for each other." Kevin couldn't help but frown. He didn't like the way she talked to him. She made it sound like they were not a couple, but a pair of strangers instead. They were already married, why did she still want to make him feel so distant?
"Okay, thank you. Now go to sleep. It's already late. You said that you have to go and see the companies tomorrow, right? So get some rest." Leena was deeply worried about Kevin and his way of living. He had to go see many places every day and had so many things to do. How could he take proper care of himself all alone? Each time she thought about it, her heart broke a little for him.
"That's alright. In fact, I just woke up. I was so tired when I got home, so I took a nap first. That's why I sent you the e-mail so late." Kevin felt that he didn't communicate enough with her. It was why he knew practically nothing about her.
