Journey to Happy Ending novel Chapter 1641

Being a wife is one thing but, being a mother is another. Adjusting to a new lifestyle was incredibly difficult for Leena but, together with her husband Kevin, she could manage. Now, they were a family of three, having a new born son as an addition to the family.

Leena, Kevin, and their son were in the bedroom, preparing themselves to end the day. She cradled their son as he placed a kiss on her cheek and a kiss on their son's forehead. The infant smiled and chuckled.

"Good evening," she beamed.

"Good evening," he responded and then looked at their son. "Good evening to you, too."

She faced her husband. "Go take a shower. I'll prepare us some food."

"That'd be great." He then took the towel on the bed and headed towards the bathroom.

When Leena saw Kevin enter the bathroom, it was only then she pulled down the top of her blouse, and started to breastfeed their son. She sighed, her cheeks slightly pink. "No matter how long it has been, I still can't get used to doing this in front of him."

She looked at her son and then the bathroom door. Her gaze shifted often on those two. She could not help but feel as if, she had not been doing the whole 'mother' thing correctly.

Leena then carried her son out of the bedroom and headed over to the dining area. She placed her son at a cradle and smiled. "Wait here for a bit, okay? Mommy's just going to cook something for daddy."

As if the baby understood, he smiled sleepily in response. Leena then walked her way to the kitchen and started to whip up a basic meal. She set the table up and placed the dishes she cooked at the center of the table. She served herself some food on her plate and then took her son from the cradle and cradled him. She sat herself down and started to eat.

Amidst eating, Leena was often interrupted by her own baby being playful in her arms. The baby would kick his legs and often pulled on his mother's clothes tightly, as if demanding for attention. She could not be angry at the baby. She looked at him with soft eyes as she beamed. "You'd grow up to be a playful, naughty boy, Richard. I'm sure," she said.

Inside the bathroom, there stood Kevin in front of the mirror and held his shoulder. He let out a long sigh and slowly started to remove his shirt carefully, but despite his slow and careful actions, his shoulder started to throb, immediately getting Kevin to wince with every movement and effort he made to remove his top.

He then stepped inside the shower and let the water soak his body. He stood still and his eyes were glued to the tiles. The water dripped from the tips of his hair.

'I should tell her. I know I should but… I just don't want her to worry. She already has a lot on her plate…' Kevin closed his eyes. 'I don't want to lie to her.'

Leena looked at Kevin, concerned. "Are you sure you don't need to replace the dressing? I-I mean, you got your wound wet. Wouldn't that be bad?" It was only then Leena got to look at Kevin's body fully. His body was covered in scars, all in varying sizes as well. Her heart ached as she looked at him.

It was this that Kevin wanted to avoid — that painful look that she had on her face. It hurt him as well. Kevin took a step forward and placed a kiss on her cheek. "No need. It's just the gauze that got wet. I'll have it replaced tomorrow back in the army base." He then walked over to the crib, leaned over, and kissed his son's cheek softly.

Leena could sense that Kevin was extremely exhausted and figured that he might not want to eat anything now, so she wrapped her arms around his body and said, "Why don't you head to bed? It's getting late, after all. It's already 2AM."

Kevin turned his body to face Leena. "Don't we have to keep an eye on Richard?" She smiled as she saw how Kevin was worried for Richard.

"No, we don't have to. He doesn't usually wake up until 6 in the morning." When Leena and Kevin looked at their son, Richard had a smile etched on his face. Kevin couldn't help but wonder if he was having a pleasant dream.

Kevin then decided to take the offer. "Looking at how Richard's fast asleep made me want to sleep, too." "Sure. But, put some clothes on, okay? I don't want you to catch a cold." Leena smiled.

Kevin playfully rolled his eyes and just took her hand and led her to the bed. He sat down on the edge of the bed while she went inside the bathroom to take the clothes she had prepared for him.
