Journey to Happy Ending novel Chapter 834

"Oh, yes. FX International has launched some new villas for sale. Since Leena isn't home, it would be better if you choose a villa for her." As far as Duke was concerned, Kevin and Leena's apartment was too small - although it was still expensive. Leena was a fanciful girl who enjoyed her whimsical and luxurious activities. It would be better for her to live in a spacious house.

"Did Leena ask you to do this?" Kevin asked in frustration. His brow furrowed. If Leena needed a new and bigger house, he would spend all his savings on her without hesitation.

"Of course not. Edward wants to buy a house for Leena as a wedding gift. Don't refuse and piss him off. He loves Leena too," Duke answered. Duke sensed the displeasure in Kevin's voice. However, if Edward wanted to give someone a gift, nobody could dare to refuse him. Besides, Edward loved Leena like a sister just as much as Duke loved her. When Duke confided to Edward that he thought Leena needed a better house, Edward said that he had already chosen one for her as a wedding gift. Since Edward had no idea about Leena's taste in housing property, he needed Kevin's help in this.

"Okay. I get that," Kevin responded. He knew he could not refuse Edward's gift. The house was meant for Leena, not for Kevin himself. Just like the brand new car in his parking lot, it represented the love and blessings from Leena's brother.

"I'm glad that you aren't refusing Edward. His secretary, Anna, will contact you. You can come and choose a house for Leena. Don't be too late; the pre-sales of these houses should not be postponed for your sake. They would not be sold until you have chosen an appropriate one for your wife," Duke replied gladly. He still hadn't fully accepted Kevin as his brother-in-law. However, after the small chat with Belinda last time, his attitude toward Kevin changed greatly.

"All right. I'll come over this afternoon," Kevin said. His schedule was tight tomorrow, so he decided to see the houses this afternoon.

"Great. Talk to you later. Good day," Duke said. Duke hung up the phone. He originally intended to ask Anna to send the photos to Leena online, but she didn't answer his phone. So he had to contact her husband instead. After all, the house would belong to Kevin as much as it would to Leena.

Kevin frowned. It suddenly occurred to him that people could consider him to be a man who married for money. Although he had known about Leena's identity before they got married, he had never considered that Leena was doted upon by these powerful and wealthy men. He felt exasperated.

The villas built by FX International Group were large in space and extremely expensive. Kevin didn't know they were semi-furnished until he made his visit. The to-be owners of the villas only needed to secure some furniture according to their taste. FX International Group seemed to have invested a great deal in these villas. The designing of each and every house was remarkable.

"Major General Gu, which villa do you like most? Tell me and it will be yours," Anna told him. Since Kevin was Leena's husband, Anna was supposed to personally show him around. She hadn't shown any displeasure at this for the past three hours. Truthfully, she liked his good looks and humble personality.

"I'm sorry. Can I send some photos of these villas to Leena and ask for her opinion before I give you an answer? I have no clue about her taste in houses," Kevin said apologetically. He had thought all houses would almost be the same. Apparently, he had been wrong. The various styles of designs confused him. He needed to consult his wife on this.

"Sure! You took photos for Mrs. Gu. How considerate of you. I thought all of you soldiers were rough and careless. It turns out you're quite thoughtful," Anna said pleasantly. Apart from Daisy, Anna barely knew any soldiers personally. She assumed that all soldiers were bold and uninhibited.

"I'm glad to say you are wrong. We soldiers can be gentle and careful when we want to be. We are rougher in training and over combat missions, but in other circumstances, we are the same as most civilians." The corners of Kevin's mouth twitched. Anna's remarks actually reminded him of what he should do next. The common people should get to know soldiers better. The army and the people should establish a more harmonious and trusting relationship with each other.
