Journey to Happy Ending novel Chapter 484

Kevin heaved a deep sigh as he stood still, trying to compose himself. He then gently knocked on the door and said, "Leena, please open the door. I'm sorry for what I said; but believe me that I didn't mean it. I can explain. Would you please open the door for me?"

Kevin didn't mean to blame Leena or anything. He only raised his voice because he was worried about her, a beautiful young girl wandering around alone in the night. He made a mistake by blurting out those harsh words without thinking too much about it, and he didn't expect that it would hurt Leena's feelings.

Inside the bedroom, Leena remained silent the whole time. She didn't know what was wrong with her either. Why would she get upset and sad like this simply because of something he said? She knew that he wasn't really mad at her, nor did he try to give her an earful. Leena had always been a generous girl, who never held grudges against anyone who didn't mean to hurt her. But why would she act like this? Was it because the person was Kevin?

"Leena, if you don't open the door for me, I'm afraid I'll have to break the door. You should know that I'm a soldier, and this door won't stop me if I want to go inside."

Leaning against the door, Kevin tried to be as patient as he could with Leena. In fact, he hadn't had slept properly for two whole days. Almost on the verge of breakdown, he was too exhausted to have a fight with Leena. He only hoped she could open the door and listen to him, and then maybe he could get some sleep.

"I... I'm fine. Don't worry about me. I just want some time alone. Please don't mind me." Trying to suppress the urge to burst into tears, Leena said between silent sobs. She had to make some random excuse in case Kevin did break in like he said. She didn't know how to face him at this point. Her mind was in a mess; neither accusation nor suspicion was the way she wanted to use to settle what had been going on between her and Kevin.

"You're crying!" Kevin said, as he heard Leena's slightly trembling voice. He went blank for a second. He then got even more anxious. He thought Leena locked the door simply because she was annoyed and didn't want to talk to him, because of what he had said downstairs. He had never expected that Leena would cry over that. He did put on a stern face, but everything didn't come out right and he didn't mean to scold her in the first place. But crying? Why?

"No, I'm not. I'm just a little tired, because of the walk." Leena composed herself as she wiped the tears from her face. She pretended to be tough because she didn't want Kevin to see her as a weak and fragile little girl, easily hurt by his words. Although they were legally husband and wife, they were more like two strangers in reality. They hadn't had enough time to get to know each other ever since they got married. Maybe it was because neither of them had such a thought in the first place, since Kevin had someone else special in mind and Leena only agreed to marry him so she wouldn't be sent back to France by her brother.
