"Sorry, but my wife is telling the truth. I don't like eating meals with strangers." Kevin looked at Leena. Now it was his turn to be fascinated. When did sweet Leena learn to be jealous? He thought she would never allow that kind of behavior to show easily.
The woman did not expect that Kevin would say anything to back Leena up. Her face immediately turned red in embarrassment. Another more important key fact was that they were a couple! She thought they were just siblings, but nothing could be further from the truth. Leena looked even younger than her. Oh, why did such an excellent man marry at such an early age?
"Major General, Leena, here." At this time, sharp-eyed Lee spotted a vacancy. He got there quickly, before anyone could grab it. He then raised his hand and called out to them.
"Let's go!" Kevin smiled in a low voice. He took her hand and walked to Lee. Somehow he felt quite happy when he realized Leena was jealous because of him.
Leena could not help feeling embarrassed at her actions. Oh, God! What did she say just now? And touching Kevin! She was not supposed to fight back like that! That woman obviously was not inviting her but Kevin. But she rejected her offer without thinking twice. Was her tone hateful? She wondered. She really didn't like the girl, though. Oh, but she hated it when she acted impulsively.
"What would you like to order?" Unlike Leena who was still lost in total embarrassment, Kevin smiled brightly, his eyes fixed on Leena's cute and small face, which was now completely blushing red. Probably even he himself did not know he would become so delighted at her response to that woman.
"I'll just have some light food. Help yourselves." Leena glanced at the menu and failed to find something she liked. She just ordered some light dishes and wondered how they would taste a few moments later. Truth be told, she had little confidence in them. She didn't really trust this place.
"That's a great idea. Major General, let's have some light dishes too! I'm worried about your stomach. It may hurt again if you put too much food in it," suggested Lee immediately. He did not try to hide it from Leena at all, because he thought Leena definitely knew everything about his Major General.
"He has a bad stomach?" Leena asked worriedly with her eyebrows frowning tightly. She never heard Kevin mention it to her. He shouldn't keep it from her since they'd already been a couple.
"Uh! You didn't know?" Lee looked at Kevin awkwardly, trying to seek for any help from him. He was completely taken aback. But Kevin acted calmly as if they were not talking about him at all.
"I do now. Thank you, Lee. I'll pay more attention to his diet later," Leena said sincerely. If Lee had never mentioned it, she would never know Kevin had a weak stomach.
"Hey, Leena. It's not that serious. Don't think too much. I like your cooking," explained Kevin and then turned to Lee, "Lee, you seem to be quite talkative today." Kevin stared at Lee coldly. Since when did he become so talkative like Mark? He did not want Leena to worry about him. It was just a minor problem for him.
"Kevin, don't glare at him! I should be glaring at you! Why didn't you tell me?" Leena was obviously quite upset. She thought that they had come to an understanding and there were no more secrets between them. Leena rolled her eyes at Kevin. So if Lee hadn't let it slip, was he going to hide this fact from her their whole lives?
"I see you sitting there staring at me. Take a picture; it lasts longer." Kevin smiled delightfully. The more time he spent with Leena, the more he liked her. Could it develop into something more? He loved learning more about her.
"Love to. Only my phone doesn't take very good pics. So I'll stare at your handsome face, instead." Leena shot a glance at him helplessly and pretended to be angry at him. But in her mind, she was planning how to prepare a different diet for him to take care of his stomach. She had no idea how to start and decided to do some research on it. Oh, there was Tom! How could she forget such a talented doctor? Yes, poor Tom became her target now. He would know what to do.
"Aw, I'm blushing. So which do you think is my best side?" He turned his head this way and that. Kevin was the elegant and decent kind among the soldiers. He was always mature and centered. Besides, he was particularly extraordinary and more valiant than other ordinary men. She had not seen him act childishly, only now he was, pretending to primp in front of an imaginary mirror, patting his cheeks.
"Lee, is your Major General always so immature at the base, too?" Leena stared at Kevin once again. His impudent defensive words left her speechless. So she decided to turn to Lee. Why didn't she notice that he could be kind of a jerk sometimes? That was not a good quality.
"Ah!
Well… I haven't really seen him do that." How Lee wished the dishes could be served on the table as early as possible. That way, he could focus on the dishes and not get involved. The less drama, the better.
"Hey, check it out! Even Lee thinks you're kinda flaky." Leena knew that Lee would never say a bad word about Kevin. So she started justifying herself. Lee's eyes opened so wide because of her words. When did he say that his Major General was unreliable? No. He didn't say anything just now.
How do you think, Lee? Kevin asked Lee back interestedly. There was such a contrast between his evil smile and his uniform. Yet surprisingly, such an evil smile was in accordance with him. He wanted to make fun of Lee all of a sudden.
"I think it's better for me to focus on my meal!" Lee finally realized sadly that he would become the target at last as long as he was involved in their conversation. Both of them would turn to him when there was any disagreement between them. So he decided not to say one more word and only concentrate on his meal as soon as the staff placed the dishes on the table. He immediately started his meal and threw courtesy right out the window. He knew the Major General did not care about these unimportant sophisticated manners.
Hey, Lee. Take it slow! You don't want to choke." Leena could not help speaking up to remind Lee to be careful, seeing him start eating in a hurry. She did not want anything to lodge in his throat. That was never fun, and sometimes extremely painful.
"Don't worry about him. Let's dig in! The weather's getting cold, and so is the food," Kevin said while dishing her up some food carefully. Although he had loved Daisy secretly, those feelings had already gone now. Leena was his legal wife and he cared for her a lot.
