She was at that state when a flaxen hair captured her attention. A knot suddenly appeared at the pit of her stomach. She grabbed the hair and clutched it as she thought rapidly. Whose hair was this? It couldn't be hers nor Daisy's. Wait a minute, why would she connect the hair to Daisy? Did she subconsciously think that the hair was Daisy's? Were Daisy and Kevin doing something behind her back? Leena immediately slapped her mouth lightly as a punishment for even thinking of it. What was wrong with her? How could she think of Daisy like that? It might just be a sudden thought but it was still a disrespect to Daisy.
Then whose hair would it be? The question was haunting. She tilted her head and thought carefully but didn't dwell on it for too long. She should have faith in Kevin regardless of whose hair it was, right? He was her husband after all, and she should trust him as his wife. It was just a woman's hair. No big deal. It could be from a woman whom Kevin's friend might have brought there, right? Or it could be her sister-in-law's who probably visited there with her brother. There were a lot of possibilities. Plus, it was flaxen. It was the same as Belinda's hair color. She felt relaxed after that thought. She might be just overthinking again. Seconds and she was back to smiling as she moved towards the stairs. The first thing she needed at that point was a nice bath and an equally nice nap. Doubting her husband was nonsense.
The bedroom was the same as before. It was still nice and clean. It seemed that Kevin had been cleaning it after all. It was good that he wasn't like any other men who thought that cleaning was only for women and that they didn't have anything to do with it.
Leena put some lavender oil in the bathtub and had a very calming bath. Then she threw herself on the big bed and closed her eyes. Something in her heart melted upon smelling the faint peppermint scent left on the sheets.
She had set the alarm clock before she took a nap. She planned to wake up at four o'clock in the afternoon. She needed to shop for some groceries as she noticed their fridge was empty.
Leena usually went to the big supermarket to buy food and never went to the farmers' market. She really could not stand the smell and the chaos in the farmers' market. Blame that to her for being such a spoiled kid. She preferred places that were nice and clean. This was basically her weakness.
The foods she chose were all based on Kevin's preference. It seemed so natural for her to choose whatever that pleased him over whatever she wanted. She had fallen so hard and cared for her husband so deeply.
It was given that Kevin didn't like fruits, but she still bought some. She thought that it was a necessity for one to have a balanced diet. Thus, fruits and vegetables were crucial.
It took her an hour to buy everything and go back home. The heavy grocery bags made her hands hurt but she didn't seem to give a damn about it. She happily put all the foods she bought in the fridge.
It was time to prepare a delicious dinner for Kevin. She thought it would be a nice surprise to give him such a delicious dinner. He deserved it for keeping the house neat while she was out.
Kevin headed to the army base after visiting the companies. The sun started to set and it happened to be the time to go home from work. He walked faster as he still got some documents he needed to hand to the commander.
"Major General Gu, where are you going in such a hurry?" Daisy steadied herself and dodged fast. She had to or else Kevin could have knocked her down to the ground.
"Oh! Daisy, it's you! Sorry, I am in a hurry now. Is the commander still in his office?" Kevin ran his fingers through his hair. He felt a bit awkward that she had to see him in such a hurried mess.
"I guess so. I didn't see him myself. But I saw Louisa Ye just now. I guess that she's here to pick the commander up." Daisy didn't like Louisa thus she just greeted her coldly when they met. Louisa, on the other hand, didn't even bother to reply to her at all. Well, that was just bluntly rude.
"What? She's here too? Lee, come here." Kevin hesitated as soon as he heard that Louisa was there. He didn't really want to meet her and get pestered by her especially with the commander's presence. Louisa was the commander's daughter and it wouldn't be nice for their commander to find that he didn't like his child.
Major General, what can I do for you?" Lee was Kevin's guard and assistant, thus, he had also gone to see the companies with him earlier. He was equally as tired and messy as his boss at that point.
"Take this document to the commander. It's required for him to look over this immediately. I won't be coming with you. If the commander asks where I am, just tell him that I have some emergency to deal with and need to go back home early." Kevin didn't care that Daisy and Mark were also there. He just bluntly lied in front of their faces. They all looked at him wide-eyed. It seemed that they didn't expect him to lie as smoothly as that.
"Okay, no problem." Lee took the document from Kevin's hand, then quickly walked to the commander's office. On the other hand, Daisy was staring at Kevin thoughtfully. Why didn't he want to see Louisa? Did something happen between the two? She was suddenly filled with questions.
"What? Why are you looking at me like that?" Kevin asked and hesitantly touched his face. Was there something wrong with how he looked? What was that strange look from Daisy for?
"Well, Major General, I guess there's something going on here. Aren't you going to tell me?" Daisy smirked. Kevin was in a hurry to see the commander at first but changed his mind after hearing that Louisa was there. There was obviously something going on right there that she didn't know.
What are you talking about? I have no idea. Are you going home too? Then don't waste any more time. Let's get going, okay? Come on now!" It was all he said before Kevin turned around. He was ready to go. He was almost out of that place when an overly sweet voice called his name and made him stop.
"Kevin, you are back." Louisa easily knew that Kevin was back as soon as she saw Lee. She rushed there in hopes of seeing him. Though she claimed that she came to the army base to pick her father up, the real reason was that she wanted to see Kevin. And that was why she was so disappointed when she was told that Kevin wasn't there earlier. She didn't expect quite a luck though. She still caught him!
