"Yeah! Okay! I'll go upstairs to get my bag." Leena said and tried to turn around to go upstairs. Unexpectedly, Kevin grasped her wrist to stop her.
Hey, you don't need to. I have enough money, no matter what you want to buy," Kevin promised decisively. How could he allow his wife to spend her own money? No way! He was the husband and she was supposed to spend his money. They were a couple. Otherwise, he would feel kind of useless. If a man could not buy his wife nice things, what good was him?
But what about my phone? I left it in the bag." Leena had no problem if he insisted on spending his own money. She considered it to be natural and reasonable because she was his wife. A wife had the right to spend her husband's money as long as he did not object to it. She really didn't need his money before -- she had her own. She didn't care much about money.
Don't worry! I have it here. Here you go!" Kevin said and handed her the phone. He also helped Leena with her coat, slipping it gracefully onto her shoulders once she had her arms in the sleeves. He felt like a god. That was his purpose! He had anticipated everything Leena might need and reacted accordingly. This way, she had no excuse to get her purse anymore.
"Come on, Kevin. You don't say hi to your sis anymore? I've been here this whole time and you didn't even look at me. Am I invisible or something?" Claire complained unhappily. When she saw her brother give Leena so much tender loving care, she was about to go ballistic.
"Why are you still here? I saw you march off in a hurry." Kevin stared at her, confused. He thought she had left.
"Glad you noticed. At least I know I'm not invisible now. I'm going out now, so could you hand me the key?" Claire decided not to continue harassing him as long as he gave the key to her.
Don't you know where your key is? That's your car, not mine. I don't have your key." Kevin stared at her angrily. She was really a careless girl who always lost things. Now she lost her key and even tried to get him to find it. Why would he know where her key was?
I mean your key! The one to the Quattro. Can I drive it for a while? Please!" Claire said and reached her hand out. Her car was a VW. How could a normal VW and a Quattro S1 be mentioned in the same breath?
"Take your own car! We're going out. We need the car." Kevin shot down her proposal without thinking twice. That Audi was not his car after all. Even if it were his car, he would not allow her to show it off everywhere.
"Fine, I didn't want to drive anyway. Can I go out with you?" Claire asked tentatively. If they were going shopping, she could probably get Kevin to buy that dress she had wanted for a long time. She saw nothing wrong with this.
"No. You're just going to be a third wheel if you go out with us." Again, Kevin refused her suggestion outright. This was supposed to be their time alone, just him and Leena. He had been waiting a long time for this and did not want Claire to disrupt them.
"Kevin, please! Let me in! Please!" Claire begged. She took Kevin's arm and started tugging on it.
"Well, let her in!" Although Leena really wanted to be alone with Kevin, whether shopping or wandering the streets to explore the area, she didn't have the heart to turn down Claire. Why not let her in? This was Kevin's sister. She asked so pitifully that it hit Leena in the heart, exactly as Claire hoped it would.
"Are you sure about this?" Kevin frowned a bit. He had never imagined that Leena would agree with Claire's proposal. In his opinion, his wife should just ignore his headstrong and annoying little sister.
"It's nothing. We're just going for a drive, maybe stop and walk around, right? It won't hurt anything if she joins us, I think," said Leena considerately. She was trying to be a mature woman. That way, she would be qualified to be the daughter-in-law of the Gu family.
"You see, Kevin? Leena said yes! So please let me in, bro!" begged Claire in a poor tone. Claire never showed Leena any respect, ever. However, at least this time she didn't roll her eyes at her because Leena agreed to take her.
Well, then, let's go! I really can't stand you anymore. Why do you have to follow us around no matter where we are?" Kevin had no choice but to allow her to go out with them. She was his sister, after all, and he was not heartless enough to say no to her over and over again since she begged him so badly.
"Yeah! I knew it! You are always so nice to me, Kevin! But -- can I drive?" So now the truth came out. It turned out that going out with them was just an excuse. She wanted to drive that car. The Audi was her goal the whole time!
"You? Not even. Did you get the driver license legally? Or did you just buy a fake one somewhere?" Kevin smiled with a teasing expression and made fun of her. He wanted to see her squirm.
A fake driver license? Really, Kevin? I tried so hard to get this. It's not fake! I've been driving for 2 years. Don't you trust me?" Claire panted with rage while she stuck up for herself. Still, she gritted her teeth to hold her anger in because she didn't want to start a fight. She might lose the chance to sit in the driver's seat of that amazingly nice car!
"All right. I'll trust you just this once. So be careful. Our lives are in your hands," Kevin said and tossed the key to Claire. He knew the real reason why she insisted on going out with them. That Pikes Peak, Leena's new car, caught her attention. Well, well. It seemed that Claire was not only a stubborn girl but also a vain girl. Otherwise, she would not have offered to drive. Everything she did was in order to get behind the wheel of that car, and show off to everyone.
