Leena didn't like to dwell on other people's shortcomings, so she didn't overreact when she noticed Kevin's feelings for Daisy. She clearly knew from the beginning that they got married for convenience, and that there was no love between them.
Before she married Kevin, she never knew that a military officer could be so busy. Kevin needed to participate in military exercises, go down to different grass-roots units, and execute many tasks among many others. Although they'd been married for quite some time, they didn't spend much time together. It seemed that he never took the initiative to call her. But she was used to it, and she rarely called him to avoid disturbing him at work. She only did what a wife was supposed to do, cook. Although she didn't know if he would come back home tonight or not, she still waited patiently. She stared at the dishes she had prepared with a dazed look. This was becoming a recurring scene as of late. Recently, Leena had been spending dinner time waiting for Kevin.
A gentle breeze blew as night gradually fell. The dark night seemed to compel people to go home as early as possible. But Kevin wasn't in a hurry to get home. He frowned slightly, staring at the soldiers who were training in front of him.
Major General." A strong and loud voice suddenly sounded in Kevin's ear. He turned around to face the person.
What's the matter?" Kevin asked. The man was one of the commander's bodyguards. Kevin didn't know why the bodyguard would come to him at such a late hour.
"Major General, Commander is looking for you." Everyone said that Kevin was the mildest officer in the military base. But seeing how he hadn't let his men go and still made them train late at night, the bodyguard felt skeptical about it.
"Isn't he already back home? Why is he still in the base?" Kevin raised his hand to look at his watch. His frown deepened. It was too late now. He wondered why the commander was looking for him.
"Commander is not in the base. He called me just now and asked for you to go to his home," the bodyguard said solemnly. But his eyes shifted slightly as he answered Kevin. He wasn't sure if the Major General would find fault with him after he found out the truth.
Go to his home? Why?" Kevin couldn't help murmuring. The commander rarely asked him to go to his home. He usually managed work in the base most of the time and seldom had people go to his home.
I don't know. Commander didn't tell me." As a matter of fact, the commander didn't invite Kevin. But his daughter threatened him and made him invite the major general. He didn't dare tell Kevin the truth.
"Okay, I see. I'll be there soon." What the hell? Why was the commander acting so strangely? Were there any upcoming big tasks? If that was the case, he should discuss it with him in the base instead of discussing it at his home. Well, it was useless for him to contemplate about it here. He would find out about it once he arrived.
"Everyone, stop. That's it for training today. Fall out, men!" Kevin whistled loudly and gave the order. Afterwards, he turned around and walked to the parking lot. He looked so powerful dressed in his military uniform. Kevin seldom went to the commander's home, but he knew where it was. He drove towards it as fast as he could and soon arrived at the place. The commander's neighborhood was different from regular ones as the men standing on the door were fully armed bodyguards instead of ordinary security guards. A clever man could discern from observation that there were high-ranking people living there.
Kevin showed his military officer certification to the bodyguard to prove his identity before he was allowed to drive inside the premises. He parked his car in front of the commander's house. Taking a deep breath, he opened the door and got out of the car. He was anxious because he felt that something bad was going to happen. He couldn't explain it, but his intuition gave him a bad feeling.
Kevin. You're so late!" The moment Kevin got out, an amorous woman walked out to greet him. She spoke in a lovely tone with a brilliant smile spreading on her beautiful face.
"You are…" Kevin paused instantly. He tried to rack his brain for the woman's identity to no avail. No matter how hard he searched his memory, he just couldn't remember her.
It's me, Louisa! Kevin, you don't remember me?" Louisa Luo was the commander's youngest daughter. Both her face and her figure were exquisitely beautiful. But compared to Leena, she couldn't hold a candle at all. Leena was sweet while Louisa was sensual.
"Oh, Louisa! I remember you, the commander's daughter. I apologize." Kevin smiled gently. He was a little embarrassed that he didn't recognize her.
It's fine. We just met once before, so it's understandable that you don't remember me. Besides, there are so many beautiful women around you," Louisa replied, trying to figure out if Kevin had girlfriend or not. She never imagined that Kevin was a married man at all.
What beautiful women? I'm surrounded by men. Kevin's response rang true. He spent all day in the military base. Everyday people around him were male soldiers besides Daisy, who was a female colonel. He wasn't exaggerating at all.
Are you telling a joke? Please come in! Louisa was pleased to hear Kevin's reply. It was good he didn't have a girlfriend. This way, she wouldn't be upset. At least, she didn't need to figure out a way to steal him from other woman.
