"Then how about Kevin? Does he have time too?" asked Leena with a bit worry. She was afraid that Kevin might come home to an empty apartment without anything to eat. Thus, she badly needed to know if he would come with them.
"Leena, he is your husband. If you want to know if he has the time or not, just call and ask him yourself. You shouldn't be this careful and worried." Edward slightly furrowed his brows at her question. She shouldn't be this anxious about calling her own husband, should she? She was being overly cautious!
"I'm just worried that I might interrupt his work if I call now." The thought of Kevin's impatient voice when she called this morning made Leena a little depressed. Although she knew that he wasn't upset with her, she could tell that Kevin wasn't the type of person who liked being interrupted during his work.
"You two are already married, Leena. Why are you being so careful around him? You have the right to just ask him! He won't be mad with just a simple question. There is no need for you to guess. I don't want you to do that to yourself, okay?" Concerned, Edward shot Leena a soft glare. It broke his heart to see her like this. He didn't know if Kevin still had some unresolved feelings for Daisy. But if so, then it would surely hurt Leena. And frankly, Leena getting hurt was the very last thing he would want to see.
"I am not doing anything to myself. Don't worry about me, okay? Well, it's time for me to go home now. See you tonight at dinner!" Leena grabbed her purse and got herself ready to leave. She was worried that Claire might come home and didn't see her. Thus, it was better for her to go home as early as now.
"Yeah. Go ahead. I have to finish my work too. Remember what I said just now, okay?" Edward was still bothered about Leena and thought that he might never stop worrying about her. He wouldn't have been this anxious if he didn't know about Kevin's feelings towards Daisy before. It was unfortunate that he knew. Thus, he couldn't hold himself back from being distressed even if she was already married.
"Of course. Goodbye, Edward!" Leena made a face at Edward. It was true that she was thinking about Claire but it wasn't exactly the reason why she wanted to leave. What she really wanted was to dodge Edward's constant worry. She didn't want to talk to Edward about her relationship problem too much because she was afraid that Edward would see right through her and find something he wasn't supposed to know. There were a few things that she wanted to avoid now.
"I'm fine. Don't worry. I'm just a little tired after being out for a long time. I just need to rest for a bit." Claire touched her face after hearing what Leena said. Did she really look that tired? But they only had a few hours' practice. Maybe it was because she hadn't exercise for a very long time and that was why she got haggard.
"Okay. Then go upstairs and have a good rest." Leena's eyebrows slightly furrowed upon hearing Claire's words. It was fortunate that there were still a few hours until dinner time. Thus, Claire could rest for a bit. Otherwise, she would be so anxious that she might not be able to join them for dinner.
It was then that an uninvited voice tore between the sister-in-laws' conversation. It was Louisa, whose only hobby was to pick on Leena whenever she could. Who said that she was a fan of Leena on the first place? She didn't even like her! "Leena, where are your manners? Aren't you going to greet me at all?"
