Journey to Happy Ending novel Chapter 845

However, Leena would never know the real reason why Gerard accepted her suggestion of being friends. He just agreed to stay close to her. It was his tactic to have her put her guards down against him. He still wanted to be her boyfriend and renew their relationship. There was no other way but to compromise with her or else, she would keep herself away. That was the last thing he'd expected. However, she had never imagined that it was the friendship suggestion that would bring a lot of soul-stirring incidents and loads of unwelcome surprises to her in the future.

Soon as they finished their dinner, Leena went back home and took a comfortable warm bath to relax. She still got work to do, thus, she proceeded to continue her design draft after. She was adjusting the colors and making some minor modifications. Her design theme for this season was basically pastoral style. She added some fashion elements from the West as well as some domestic ones to mute the impact a little. In this way, her design would not be too much for ordinary people's taste and would attract more people from all over the world.

She made a cup of lemonade to enjoy. Oh, woman! A woman would always like to care for herself from small aspects. She was not an exception. She always paid attention to her body to keep herself in good shape. She found that it was already eleven in the evening when she took a glimpse at her watch. It would be six in the morning in her home country and Kevin usually got up at this time. She wondered if he'd already come back from his mission. She did her dissertation smoothly and probably would come back home in a month. She hoped for their relationship to be improved by then!

She picked up her phone to browse at his pictures and a shy smile spread through her beautiful face. She stayed silent as she ran her fingertips on his handsome face on the screen. She felt as if she was getting drunk just by looking at him. Was that the feeling of loving someone? She missed him secretly and felt a little depressed in her heart too. What a complicated feeling. What was he doing now? Was he also missing her?

Little did she know that it only took two days for Kevin to finish his task. He was actually sleeping on that Sunday, which was something rare. He was still deep in his dreams, something that Leena could never anticipate.

The house felt weird without Leena in it. There was nobody else but him alone. Although he had his share of living alone, he couldn't figure out why he felt like loneliness was new to him again. Their home oddly felt so cold. It probably could be because of the absence of that beautiful figure who usually appeared just about everywhere. There were times when he found himself in a trance that Leena was still home, either cooking or working on her design inside her little workroom.

Kevin finally woke up from his dream by the time that the sun rose up and flashed its light to earth generously. He stayed up late last night to sort out those files he took from the office. It was already three or four in the morning when he finished. Thus, he slept almost all morning and just woke up around nine.

There was no doubt that Kevin had a solid built. Different from Edward, he had clear abdominal muscles which would definitely make women scream. His skin was olive as he needed to train under the sun. He was unlike those people who stayed inside their air-conditioned offices. His warm tanned skin made him look more masculine and braver.
