Why did you get up so early today? Now, put on some clothes, or else, you'll catch a cold," said Kevin in concern. He raised his head and was greeted by Leena's drowsy look. He immediately knew that Leena needed more sleep. She wasn't used to waking up this early back on S City after all.
"Didn't you go out to exercise today?" asked Leena confusedly as she remained standing there instead of putting on some clothes. Gracious! She was even on her bare feet!
"No, I prefer to take a day off today. I drank too much yesterday night. Go and put on your shoes, the floor is cold." Kevin stood up and faced Leena. The room they were living in wasn't as luxurious as the one they had in Grand Apartment. They didn't have their thick wool carpet here.
Alright," answered Leena. She went back to put on her cotton-padded shoes and a thick coat. She was about to turn around when a pair of strong arms embraced her from behind.
Why haven't you learned how to take care of yourself?" said Kevin accusingly. He couldn't help but frown upon feeling how cold Leena's tiny body was.
"I'm not cold." Her voice came out small as her heart skyrocketed. The nervousness and longing that engulfed her were similar to those who had when experiencing their first love.
"Don't lie to me. Your hands are cold. Since you woke up early, why don't you wash and dress? I'll take you to a happy place later." Kevin pushed her into the washroom. He rarely took a day off, thus, he had decided to enjoy some fun with his wife.
Are we going out again?" asked Leena in confusion. She practically felt that it was inconvenient to be living with Kevin's family. More so, with the frequent go-outs. She felt obliged to behave herself, be a good wife, and daughter-in-law.
Yes, we are. We got married even before we have the chance to date. So, we'd better have some good time today and just have a date. Come on, it's just the two of us." Kevin fondled her hair and felt lucky that they met that night, otherwise, he wouldn't have such a lovely wife.
"Will you buy red roses for me? Will you buy me romantic candlelight dinner?" asked Leena, tilting her head expectantly. She couldn't stop wondering about his plan. It wasn't every day that she heard Kevin ask for a few hours with her.
"I'll try to make you feel contented today no matter what your wish is," was the man's fond reply. The tenderness in Kevin's voice was so obvious and real that she could almost taste it in the air.
Twat! I want nothing from you," answered Leena timidly. She hurried to turn around in an attempt to hide her embarrassment. She would never admit to Kevin that she actually wanted a good sex life with him.
"Sweetie, you should never accuse me of being shameless again. I think you can also be shameless sometimes." Instead of walking away, Kevin leaned against the door and taunted Leena.
"Leave me alone. I'm gonna brush my teeth." His words brought a warm flush to Leena's face. She glowered at her husband and thought that his words were highly misleading.
"Fine. Go and brush your teeth. I won't interrupt you," answered Kevin and remained standing where he was. He had no intention of leaving his wife alone at all.
"Alright. You won. If you don't want to leave, then fine. I'll go," said Leena. She slammed the door shut and got the door locked as fast as possible.
Kevin was left speechless and shocked to see Leena respond this way. He had never behaved badly to his wife. How come she was back to putting up all her precautions against him?
It was already nine o'clock when they finished preparing for their date. The weather turned warm and sunny.
"Good morning, Major General, Leena. Are you going out?" asked Lee hastily. If he had guessed right, he would be in serious trouble.
"Yeah! We're gonna have a walk outside. You can take a day off, Lee. Enjoy this day with your friends," answered Kevin in a friendly tone. Kevin had an amiable disposition and wouldn't allow himself to talk like a bureaucrat.
"Claire told me that you wouldn't use the car today so she drove your car away," said Lee as he looked both flustered and embarrassed. At the time, he also took a step back just in case Kevin became furious and kicked him.
What? I never said that. Awful girl! She is getting bolder and bolder," yelled Kevin. He gritted his teeth. Since his car was gone, he might have to borrow his father's military vehicle. The bad part, doing so would be like him signing himself up for a ton of trouble. Those military vehicles weren't supposed to be used for personal purposes at all.
Is there any vehicle available at home?" Leena was also upset. She was afraid that her date with Kevin might be ruined.
"I'm afraid none," answered Lee. Actually, he wasn't absolutely sure. He hadn't gone to the garage and checked the available vehicles. However, Kevin's mother had also gone out driving. It was very unlikely for the house to still have an available car for Kevin and his wife.
"What about Claire's car? Why doesn't she drive her own car?" Although Kevin knew that Lee probably didn't have an answer to his question, he still asked.
"I asked her the same question, she said that she had lent it to a friend," answered Lee. Lee bowed his head. If he had known that Kevin might blame him for mismanagement, he would have never given the car key to Claire. Otherwise, he wouldn't be standing there while suffering from stress.
What do you mean by that? She lent her car to a friend and then went out driving my car. Am I right?" The Major General asked with his eyes blazing with fury. He took his mobile phone out. He was about to call his sister and order her to return his car to him immediately.
