She was at that state when a flaxen hair captured her attention. A knot suddenly appeared at the pit of her stomach. She grabbed the hair and clutched it as she thought rapidly. Whose hair was this? It couldn't be hers nor Daisy's. Wait a minute, why would she connect the hair to Daisy? Did she subconsciously think that the hair was Daisy's? Were Daisy and Kevin doing something behind her back? Leena immediately slapped her mouth lightly as a punishment for even thinking of it. What was wrong with her? How could she think of Daisy like that? It might just be a sudden thought but it was still a disrespect to Daisy.
Then whose hair would it be? The question was haunting. She tilted her head and thought carefully but didn't dwell on it for too long. She should have faith in Kevin regardless of whose hair it was, right? He was her husband after all, and she should trust him as his wife. It was just a woman's hair. No big deal. It could be from a woman whom Kevin's friend might have brought there, right? Or it could be her sister-in-law's who probably visited there with her brother. There were a lot of possibilities. Plus, it was flaxen. It was the same as Belinda's hair color. She felt relaxed after that thought. She might be just overthinking again. Seconds and she was back to smiling as she moved towards the stairs. The first thing she needed at that point was a nice bath and an equally nice nap. Doubting her husband was nonsense.
The bedroom was the same as before. It was still nice and clean. It seemed that Kevin had been cleaning it after all. It was good that he wasn't like any other men who thought that cleaning was only for women and that they didn't have anything to do with it.
Leena put some lavender oil in the bathtub and had a very calming bath. Then she threw herself on the big bed and closed her eyes. Something in her heart melted upon smelling the faint peppermint scent left on the sheets.
She had set the alarm clock before she took a nap. She planned to wake up at four o'clock in the afternoon. She needed to shop for some groceries as she noticed their fridge was empty.
Leena usually went to the big supermarket to buy food and never went to the farmers' market. She really could not stand the smell and the chaos in the farmers' market. Blame that to her for being such a spoiled kid. She preferred places that were nice and clean. This was basically her weakness.
The foods she chose were all based on Kevin's preference. It seemed so natural for her to choose whatever that pleased him over whatever she wanted. She had fallen so hard and cared for her husband so deeply.
It was given that Kevin didn't like fruits, but she still bought some. She thought that it was a necessity for one to have a balanced diet. Thus, fruits and vegetables were crucial.
It took her an hour to buy everything and go back home. The heavy grocery bags made her hands hurt but she didn't seem to give a damn about it. She happily put all the foods she bought in the fridge.
It was time to prepare a delicious dinner for Kevin. She thought it would be a nice surprise to give him such a delicious dinner. He deserved it for keeping the house neat while she was out.
Kevin headed to the army base after visiting the companies. The sun started to set and it happened to be the time to go home from work. He walked faster as he still got some documents he needed to hand to the commander.
