"Yes, Kevin is in the same army base with my father. It's really a coincidence. It's destiny that we meet here today." Louisa was very excited to see Kevin. It was not easy for her to make all this a coincidence. She had coaxed and pestered her father until she got Kevin's address. She wasn't expecting for the address to be the same with one of her friends. She immediately got an idea and proposed a visit to that friend.
"When did you two get to know each other?" Kevin glanced at Louisa nonchalantly, his face as cold as ice. How he ignored Louisa's enthusiasm was so obvious. Claire already made his headache and now, here came another troublemaker, Louisa. He could already foretell how miserable he would be in the next few days. These two girls in front of him were already speaking for themselves.
"When Louisa studied aboard, she happened to rent the same apartment with me. That is how we got to know each other. We became close friends since." As Claire stressed "abroad", she intentionally glanced at Leena with a smug smile. She was flaunting. She had no clue that the time Leena had spent abroad and the number of countries she had visited would overwhelm them if only she chose to speak.
"Oh, but why have I never heard you mention this before?" Kevin glanced at Claire and then at Louisa. He had the feeling that the whole thing was not as simple as it seemed.
"I did want to share such a thing with you but you are barely at home," Claire pouted and said in a sad voice. It was true that it was rare for him to go home. When he did, he would occasionally scold her. Had he really taken her as his sister? Claire wondered.
Leena just stood beside them in silence. This was her only choice. It was so evident that the two ladies had intentionally ignored her so she could only stand still like a dumb.
"Okay, I will ask Lee to help you take the luggage. Leave the car here." That was a firm command from Kevin as he dialed Lee's number.
Hi, Major General, is there anything I can do for you?" Lee asked in confusion. They just parted moments ago, why would he call him so soon?
Come to the gate and help Claire to take their luggage. Hurry up." Kevin hung up as soon as he finished his words. Based on his tone, there was really no negotiation that would happen about the car anymore.
Kevin, where are you going?" Claire rolled her eyes and asked with a cunning smile. There was excitement on her face. She had not decided yet where to take Louisa to have fun. And since Kevin also went out, they could just share his car.
"It's none of your business. Get out!" With furrowed brows, Kevin snapped. He would not be that stupid to tell her where he was going. Otherwise, it would be highly possible that she would follow him.
"Huh, if you don't tell me, I won't get off." Claire could be very obstinate when she wanted to be! She just sat tight there and stared at her brother.
Claire, don't make me angry." The handsome man was pretty annoyed at his unruly and stubborn sister but couldn't do anything to her. There was a large group from their family members who would stay behind her and attack him if he offended her. That was the only reason why he was suppressing his anger most of the time. Nonetheless, it didn't mean that he could tolerate her without limit. He wouldn't mind how many people would stay behind her back as soon as she crossed his borderline. He would definitely make her suffer once he was triggered.
"Kevin, could you also take us? I'm not very familiar with this city so I think we can follow you to look around." Louisa asked cautiously as her real reason for coming there wasn't really about Claire at all.
Yes! Louisa is our guest. You can't just leave the guest here and hang out by yourself." Claire threw an intentional glance at Leena as if she was the one who made Kevin refuse them.
"She is your guest, not mine." Kevin had been doing his best to avoid Louisa, how could he agree to let her tag along with them?
"Leena, what do you say? Do you also think so?" Claire shifted her attention to Leena upon seeing how determined Kevin was not to let them go with them. She would like to see whether she dared to refuse them.
"Em... Well..." Leena looked at Kevin helplessly. Why did Claire suddenly target at her? But Leena knew she was not the one who had the final say. Why couldn't they just ignore her all the way like they did before? Leena thought.
"Don't try to get consent from Leena, I said no and that's it." No matter what, Kevin was determined to cut her comb today, otherwise she would really think that the world was under her control.
Claire, how about we hail a car and hang out by ourselves?" Louisa said disappointedly. She gave Kevin a somber look to show her grievance towards his ruthlessness.
No, I also say no." Claire had always been the apple of the eye of her family, and she had never been treated like this. She stared hard at Kevin with tears forming in her eyes.
"Kevin, just let them go with us." Leena was caught in a dilemma. If Claire didn't ask her opinion just now, she would pretend to know nothing and act like she didn't hear what they were talking about. It was just that she asked her, thus, she couldn't play the idiot card.
