Journey to Happy Ending novel Chapter 483

Cynthia reached her hand and slicked back Daisy's hair. Such a gentle move gave Daisy a familiar feeling. Edward also liked to twiddle with her hair, Daisy realized this habit was inherited from his mother's tenderness. No matter how much he rejected her mother's love, his cold heart had already been melted by this love. Blood is thicker than water, the saying goes, and this seemed to hold true now.

The leaves on the trees by the side of the road moved with the gentle breeze, like mischievous spirits dancing wantonly. Kevin drove fast along this road. He felt anxious about what Daisy had said to him this afternoon. He had thought to call Leena to show that he cared, but he always got a busy line when he called.

He licked his chapped lips caused by the dry weather in the autumn, his eyebrows furrowing deeper. He could have gotten off work earlier. But he was delayed by some urgent affair. This was ordinary as a soldier and Kevin couldn't do anything about it. He actually had no time at his disposal.

It only took half an hour for Kevin to arrive at his apartment, he usually would spend an hour in traffic. Obviously he drove very fast. He took a deep breath in front of the door. He had thought to ring the bell, but he paused before pressing the button. He gave up on the idea and took the key out of his briefcase.

He had imagined that at the moment he opened the door, he would see a sweet scene as Leena would smile gracefully at him under the soft light in surprise. It was his turn to be surprised, for when he opened the door, what embraced him was complete darkness in the house.

He turned on the light in doubt, the whole room was lit up immediately. He glanced around the room with his sharp eyes. But he didn't find Leena anywhere. His thick eyebrows furrowed deeply. He hurriedly ran to the bedroom on the upstairs, but what was waiting for him was also silent darkness there. A sense of uneasiness rose in him.

Kevin anxiously ran into the bathroom, but found no one. He took out his cellphone and dialed the familiar number. What he heard was still the busy tone. He helplessly turned around and went back downstairs. He was thinking about looking for Leena at her family's mansion. But he had to face Duke's ice-cold face again. And he was not sure Leena would be there.

At the moment when Kevin tried to open the door and go out, the door suddenly flung open. Leena's beautiful and graceful face appeared. Looking at Kevin's handsome face so closely, Leena became flabbergasted for a moment. But soon she regained her composure and welcomed him with a broad smile.
