Journey to Happy Ending novel Chapter 851

"Alright. I can be your sister. Don't break your word, and start to take good care of me from today on," said Louisa cheerfully. She forced a contented smile on her face. Anyway she was happy to be his sister, at least for now. She had been offered the opportunity to turn the tables.

"I never break my word. As long as you stop treating me like a suitor, then we can get along. Remember, I'm married and off-limits as a love interest," answered Kevin seriously. The gift really showed who Kevin was. He always did what he said, and he promised her a birthday present. But, after he agreed to hang out with Louisa on occasion, Leena might get jealous and even heartbroken. But he didn't even think about this.

"I see. So bro, I'd like to have dinner with you again. It would be rude to turn your sister down, right?" said Louisa, putting a charming smile on her face. When she stopped being hysterical, she looked soft and beautiful.

"Yeah as long as I have the time," he answered carefully. As far as he was concerned, Louisa was every bit as willful and mischievous as his own sister.

"Goodbye, bro," said Louisa gratefully. She knew she shouldn't push Kevin too much. Being nice and considerate might be a workable strategy when she tried to win his heart. Yeah, she could do this, she decided. She waved at him, turned and walked away.

"Bye," said Kevin. When Louisa's voluptuous figure disappeared from his sight, Kevin got in his car and drove away. He felt relieved now that he and Louisa had made an agreement. However, he had no idea that Louisa wanted much more than what he could offer.

In Leena's mind, clear skies and beautiful clouds were always the most stunning scenery, making a strong contrast with the blue sea and the brightly-colored flowers. Leena's mouth twitched, looking at all those beautiful things. Nevertheless, what troubled her mind was the guy who kept harassing her and following her wherever she went.

She wouldn't be bored by the charming scenery on two sides of the River Seine, and everything looked as wonderful as seeing it for the first time, perhaps because of the weather, the culture and the people.

"Mignonne, when will you go back to China?" Gerard asked Leena anxiously and tentatively. Gerard was afraid that Leena might not be charmed and fall in love with him if she were to leave France soon.

"I don't know. Maybe in a month. Actually, I'm not sure. Maybe I'll leave sooner, as long as I'm allowed to graduate. Why do you ask?" answered Leena. Leena liked the feeling of boarding a boat and cruising the River Seine, which might inspire her designs. The conversation didn't break her stride at all. She continued to draw and dip the brush as she talked to Gerard.

"I'm afraid that you might leave without letting me know," answered Gerard. He smiled awkwardly, like a shy boy at his first date. He still hadn't figured out her unique differences from other designers who usually chose quiet environment to work. On the contrary, Leena liked traveling and inserting new elements into her designs, and created entirely new works, which was awesome as far as Gerard was concerned.

"Don't worry. I'll let you know before I leave," said Leena in a reassuring tone. Leena smiled sweetly. After Gerard promised that he wouldn't try to hit on her anymore, her attitude towards him changed. He was just a regular guy, and she could treat him with the same respect she showed to everybody.

"Alright. Then I'll drive you to the airport and say goodbye," said Gerard. A month was enough time to enchant Leena, or at least persuade her to stay in France. Gerard knew this was his last chance. If his strategies didn't work, he had to let her go.

"Thank you. You're so nice," said Leena. It was still too early to be sure about what she would do or not do in the coming months. However, she still thanked him sincerely. Then, she raised her hand to pull her stray hair behind the ears. At that moment, the wind blew her design draft away, and into the air. She stretched out her hand immediately, trying to grab it, since it was too important for her graduation thesis to be lost in a river. Then, she lost her balance, teetering on the rail.

"Mignonne, watch out!" shouted Gerard. However, it was too late. Leena fell into the water with a splash.
