Journey to Happy Ending novel Chapter 1033

"Well, I guess you are right. How are you doing? How's the capital city treating you? Isn't it great fun?" Edward asked casually in a gentle tone, he wanted to know if Leena was alright because he still felt surprised about Leena's call. If only they were together, his little sister would have seen the affection that instantly flashed in his eyes as he talked with her.

"No. It's no fun without you all here." Leena didn't lie about that. She really thought the capital city was no fun without her brothers and friends. She already had a tough time getting along with Kevin's sister. The thing that happened between Louisa and her just hours ago wasn't as pleasant either. Then top it up with Nathan's attitude. Everything just made she feel very lonely.

"Wait a minute, Leena. Why does your voice sound so weird? Have you been crying?" Edward immediately straightened his back. He was sure that there was something wrong with his little sister's voice. Did something happen to her? Was Kevin's family not treating her right? Edward's brain was suddenly bombarded by all the negative possibilities. Why did he have a bad feeling about this? He could feel that Leena wasn't telling him everything.

"No! Of course not. You worry too much. I'm just not used to the weather here so I caught a cold. That's all." Leena would never tell Edward what exactly happened because Edward was overprotective. It would only go worse if he knew because he would definitely rush here and take her home in a flash. So she put on a smiley face for her brother and tried her best to be strong though he couldn't see her. It was nice to know that Edward still cared so deeply about her.

"A cold? Again? Well, it seems that my worry is in fact legit. Haven't you been taking good care of yourself as Tom had told you? You get sick so easily and I'm not happy about it." Suddenly, Edward was displeased with Kevin. What was he doing? Why didn't he take good care of his sister? Leena was by his side all this time! How could he not notice that Leena could easily catch a cold? He would definitely have a word with him once they were back. Kevin couldn't keep ignoring Leena any more. He wouldn't allow it.

"It's just a cold! You have absolutely nothing to worry about. I will be healthy again in a few days. Plus, please don't tell Mr. Cold that I've caught a cold. He would be worried sick." Leena knew Duke so well and she was aware that Duke also cared so much about her. There was no doubt that her brother would rush to the capital city even if her problem was just a small cold. Mr. Cold was just really like that. There was no way of talking him out of something once he made up his mind.

"Huh. Do you want to go there? Are you kidding? Do you want to spend some time alone with Kevin without his family intruding? Am I right?" Edward had a knowing smile on his face. Well, he was married too and he knew the feeling when you wanted to be alone with your other half. Thus, he clearly understood what Leena was thinking now. Or so he thought.

"Ummm... Edward, there's no need to say it out loud, okay? Don't be a smartass." Leena didn't correct Edward even if what he said squeezed her heart painfully. It was fortunate that he couldn't see her face or he would definitely know that she was lying. To be honest, her brother had just pinned point what her heart exactly wanted, a moment with just Kevin alone! It was just bad though that it wasn't the truth and those words made her sad again.

"Alright, alright. Calm down. I was just teasing. I will text you the address later and will also make a call to let the guards know that you will be there." Edward shook his head. How could he possibly refuse Leena? That was just impossible! Besides, he bought his house in the capital city out of whim. If Leena wanted to go there then he could just let her as she pleased. Everything would be okay with him, as long as Leena was happy.
