"Miss Ye, I was not under the impression that I was such an insufferable woman in your eyes! Don't you think you are being awfully rude to me inside my own house? Just unbelievable!" Leena finally asserted, when she couldn't bear to listen to what was being said about her. She knew that Louisa didn't like her, for whatever reason, but she couldn't take her being this disrespectful incessantly! According to Leena, Louisa was a self-centered and selfish woman who didn't consider other people's feelings. That deeply disgusted her. She was insufferable.
Well, you should know my answer to your question. Why are you even asking me?" Louisa smirked, aiming her eyes towards Leena. She was so engrossed in vilifying Leena that she completely forgot where she was standing at the moment. Moreover, she had no idea who she was trash talking about.
I'm sorry. I don't know what you are talking about. My family has raised me right. They taught me to be a kind woman, and not judge people by their appearances or family background." Leena was vexed with Louisa's attitude toward her. Why the hell was she acting like she had a right to belittle her? How could she be so conceited? There was a deep frown on Leena's adorable face. It was clear that she was pissed off. She stared at Louisa with eyes full of wrath.
"You mean to say that I've not been taught good manners?" Louisa immediately retorted, quite sensitive about this topic herself. She understood what Leena was getting at.
I didn't say that. But if you'd like to think so, then I don't have anything more to say." In all honesty, Leena rarely got mad. She was such a nice and easy-going person most of the time. Even though she was from a rich family, it didn't change the fact that she had an exceedingly kind heart. She was the type of girl who was effortlessly loved and cherished.
"Hah! If your family had really raised you right like you said, then you would not have been intimate with another man in a public place!" Louisa raised one of her eyebrows and looked at Leena with contempt. It was clear that she didn't consider Leena to be the kind of girl she claimed to be. Moreover, once she remembered the handsome man at the restaurant who had acted so intimately with Leena, she couldn't help but feel a bit jealous. What she didn't get was why such striking men, including Kevin, would be attracted to a woman like Leena. She appeared to be as immature as a little school-going girl.
"Before you accuse me of cheating, you should know the truth first. Yes, I acted intimately with a man, that is true. But it's not what you think at all." Leena said, sneaking a glance at Kevin. She was afraid that he would believe Louisa's words and suspect her.
"See, Kevin! Are you listening to her? She admits that she indeed cheated on you!" Louisa announced cheerfully, as if she had really seen Leena cheat on Kevin. She looked in Kevin's direction, her eyes shining with delight. It was obvious that she was quite pleased with herself.
I trust my wife completely. But you! Did you come here just to start a fight with her?" Kevin had been listening to the conversation between Leena and Louisa silently. He realized from their words that it was not the first time they had met each other. They had crossed paths before. Louisa was hurling accusations at his wife left and right. It was a mystery to him why these two weren't getting along or being nice to each other. It seemed that only they themselves knew the answer to that question.
Kevin, what I said is indeed true! I saw her today, hugging a very handsome man and walking into a restaurant in excitement, smiling widely. The two of them looked quite intimate." Louisa couldn't believe her own ears. What? Was Kevin out of his mind? Why would he trust Leena over her? She couldn't believe that Kevin didn't care about his wife cheating on him. It was astounding.
"I believe that what you said is true. However, like Leena said just now, it was not as it seemed to be." Kevin frowned slightly. If what he was guessing was right, the mysterious man that Louisa saw was definitely one of Leena's many brothers. They had planned to have dinner together, after all. Of course, he knew about that in advance. In fact, if there hadn't been an emergency at the army base, he would have gone there with them too.
"That's it? You are just letting it go so easily? Are you actually permitting this kind of behavior? You ought to punish her. Even if it is not like how it seemed to be, is it really appropriate for her to throw herself at a man who is not her husband?" Louisa was bitter and jealous. She couldn't believe that Kevin wouldn't even reprimand Leena for her actions. She had thought that he would at least be mad at her. After all, no man could stand his wife being unfaithful to him or being intimate with another man.
"Well! Do you really think that being close to one's own brother is inappropriate?" Kevin asked her in return. At the same time, he didn't understand why he was bothering to explain this to Louisa. She was just an uninvited guest. This was none of her business. She didn't have the right to judge their family at all. Besides, he had faith in Leena.
W...what? Brother?" Louisa stuttered, astonished at Kevin's words. Reluctantly, she turned to look at Leena. She couldn't believe that the mysterious man was her brother. That man was dressed so elegantly and looked so wealthy. But Leena? Leena just looked like an ordinary girl.
"Yes, 'brother'. Now, do you have any more questions to ask? If not, we are planning to have dinner now." Kevin told her caustically. He was discreetly asking her to leave because she was interfering with their plans. He didn't make it so obvious because it was up to Louisa herself to leave.
"Oh! I'm sorry. I completely forgot about that. I will get going.I'm really sorry for holding up your dinner." Louisa bit her lower lip, speaking reluctantly. To be frank, she didn't want to leave at all, but she didn't have anymore reason to stay.
