Journey to Happy Ending novel Chapter 831

"Aren't Duke and Belinda back?" Kevin asked as he walked beside Lloyd. He assumed that Duke and Belinda must have had a lot of fun on their honeymoon trip. They went to a land full of mystery, which boasted historic sites and rich cultural deposits with thousands of years' worth of history. It was supposed to be refreshing for the soul, how could they not be happy there?

"Not yet. They'll probably be back in a few days. The company needs them. They can't be away too long." Lloyd brought Kevin directly to the dining room, where Giselle was busy moving the dishes to the table from the kitchen. When she saw Kevin, she greeted him and said, "Good morning! Mr. Gu." Then she went back to work.

"Yeah, such big companies can't run smoothly without them." Kevin didn't know much about doing business. But he knew that for such a big company like the Leng Group, it must have many business plans waiting to be approved every day. The work was just as complicated as the training they organized at the army base.

"You're right. Let's drop the subject and eat. Want some wine?" Lloyd made Kevin sit down and proposed when he saw the wine cabinet.

"No, thanks. I have to drive." Kevin immediately refused. Lee was not with him, so he couldn't drink. Otherwise no one would drive his car back if he got drunk.

"Fair enough. I get it. Safety first." He gestured at the food. "These are all Leena's favorite dishes. I don't know what you like, so I asked Giselle to prepare them. I hope you don't mind," Lloyd said while wearing a smile. His manner was very different from Duke's cold demeanor.

"It's okay, I'm not picky. Everything smells really good." Army life didn't allow a man to be finicky. Even though he was a Major General, when he went to the canteen to eat, he ate the same food as the other soldiers did. There was no special treatment. Though there were chances to enjoy the privilege of high rank, he would never allow himself to do so. Much like Daisy, he didn't like to be privileged. The military wasn't some country club. It was in the business of preparing for war.

"When Leena was fat before, she was also not very particular about food. She ate almost everything which came her way. But later, in order to lose weight, she started eating only vegetables for a while. Over time, she became very careful about the food she ate. She rarely ate high-calorie food." Lloyd sighed. Strictly speaking, Leena wasn't really fat. She was only plump. But she firmly thought that she was laughed at by others because of this. So she spent a lot of time on losing weight. Fortunately, her weight didn't rebound. On the contrary, she became thinner and thinner. It made Lloyd worry about her. He wondered how she took care of herself since she left the house.

"Was Leena really fat before?" Kevin looked at Lloyd, surprised. He couldn't imagine Leena being plump. Her figure was so perfect now.

"Not very fat actually. You know, girls, they all like to look pretty. So she went on a diet for some time, and exercised a lot. That was how she lost weight. She was very tenacious and stuck with it." Lloyd shook his head. Although Leena was capricious sometimes, compared to the daughters of other rich families, she was excellent, and finished what she started.

"In fact, I think health is the most important thing. It doesn't matter if you're fat or not." In his eyes, most of the young girls now were too thin. They had ignored health itself in order to pursue a skinny look. So he didn't agree with the idea of girls going on a diet only for the sake of losing weight.

"Ah! Leena always seems very happy and cheerful in public, but in fact, she is quite sentimental in her heart. You'll get this after you've been with her a long time." He got busy with work before and often ignored Duke and Leena. There was even a time when Leena was scared to be around him and they were estranged. And it took him a lot of effort to make her come back to him, so they could be intimate once more.

"Okay, I will keep this in mind and pay more heed to her." Kevin frowned. Like everyone else, he found Leena always being lovely and sweet around other people. But she seemed easily offended around him, just prickly like a hedgehog. She'd try her best to fight back if he said something she thought was hurtful, even if he didn't mean it that way. The way she fought back was not to cause a scene, but to give him the cold shoulder, as if she didn't care about him at all and he was completely invisible to her. This was the thing that always made him feel helpless.
