"Claire, let me give you a piece of advice. There are some things that you should and shouldn't do. You're on the wrong side when you do evil things just to help Louisa. You might be morally forgivable. However, considering how Louisa thinks, I'm sure she doesn't mind sacrificing you just to make herself happy and satisfied. Knowing these things now, do you really think that you should do her more favors?" Kevin said emotionally. The hard lines on his handsome face were obvious and it was easy to tell how serious he was about this matter.
"I-I'm so sorry, brother. I hope that my behaviors and attitude haven't caused you any trouble. To be honest, I know that I can't force you to love someone else but then I can't bear to see Louisa's heart shattering either. I won't intervene anymore if you don't like her." Claire said that, and then bit her lip lightly. She seemed to be drowned in her thoughts for a moment before she hesitatingly opened her mouth and said, "Kevin, can I ask you a private question?" She needed confirmation from her brother because it would decide whether she should try to accept Leena or not.
"Go ahead. I'll answer as honestly as I can," answered Kevin. He felt relieved when he heard Claire's soft voice. He was sure that Leena would never hurt his sister first because Leena was too kind-hearted to do such. Everything would be fine as long as Claire stopped making troubles for everyone.
"This is an extremely simple question. Do you love Leena? Are you happily married, Kevin?" It wasn't usual for Claire to be as serious as she was. Everything Kevin had said today had hit her heart. After all, Kevin was her brother and there were still some times when she listened to him.
"It's easy to be happy and contented, Claire. A sweet smile or a warm greeting should be enough to lift one's spirit. Marrying and living with Leena go beyond just those. She makes up the best days of my life. I hope that what I said is enough to make you realize what I'm feeling for her." Kevin didn't answer his sister's question straight up. Truth was, he just didn't know whether he already loved his wife or not. He never had the chance to clear his thoughts and only God knew how confused he was too.
"I see. Please set your mind at rest. I won't disappoint you anymore. By the way, I'd like to have a taste of the tea you made. You know, just to test if it's edible." Claire smirked. She wasn't really as mean as many people thought. After what her brother had said, she had already decided to give her and Leena a chance. It was probably the high time for her to look at their relationship from a new perspective.
"That's right. What about my tea? Is it drinkable?" Kevin gave his sister a warm smile. He knew he had to change his attitudes towards Claire. This lady was his only sister whom he had a responsibility for after all.
Yes! "Not bad. It's not as awful as I thought." Claire was genuinely flattered. She couldn't remember the last time her brother smiled at her that way. He had always kept a straight face and looked serious after his marriage.
As a reaction though, Kevin's smile instantly melted as he gazed at her coldly. He couldn't believe how fast she returned to her arrogant and stubborn self. Nonetheless, he knew that something had changed within Claire as looking at her felt a lot more comfortable than before. He smiled inwardly and thought that Claire wasn't as unforgivable as he thought. Meanwhile, Leena was sitting inside her studio as she quickly typed on her keyboard. There was a broad smile on her face and it was easy to tell that she was in her best mood.
The fact that she was born into a rich and powerful family gained her very few friends. Her only bosom friend was quite scheming. She could still remember how that bosom friend persuaded her to drug Belinda the last time. Fortunately, the result wasn't bad. Otherwise, Leena would have no clue how to fix the matter up.
Leena still hadn't told her single bosom friend that she had married. It was the reason why Leena didn't dare to tell her anything about her married life nor her husband. She had to find a proper opportunity to make a full confession to that girl. Considering her current situation, it wasn't the best time to announce any good news to her friend after all.
"Hey, Devil, do you have time tomorrow? How about going on a blind date with me?" Leena's friend quickly typed some sentences on her computer and sent them to Leena. Her username was quite domineering. It was called 'Empress'.
"What? Going on a blind date? How old are you? Easy, girl! Are you afraid that you'll die as a virgin? But, it makes sense. You're too fierce-looking to be considered as some man's wife. Haha!" replied Leena as she also sent her a smiling emoji. Leena also had an intimidating username called 'Devil'.
"Oh wicked! I'm not that bad! I may not be stunningly beautiful but I'm sure that I am more gorgeous than most girls are, right? There's no way that those ordinary and boring men will marry me." Leena's bosom friend replied immediately together with a series of angry emojis. Needless to say, her friend got pissed off.
"I see. You're destined to be an empress. Speaking of which, I just realize that you are a perfect match for Tom. Tom's gentle and restrained while you are warm and bold. Your personalities are complementary! On top of that, he is the owner of a hospital. Marrying him would mean that you are perhaps an empress. Empress of a hospital!" Leena quickly typed a set of smiling emojis on her computer and sent them to her bosom friend. Apparently, she was quite satisfied with her sharp wit.
Are you referring to that quack who's dealing with dead bodies all day? Oh, dear! Please stop thinking about marriage if he is the one you are referring to. I'm not a fan of self-abuse." Then, the bosom friend sent an extremely scornful emoji which showed her disdain about Leena's proposal. Leena's bosom friend had been afraid of those doctors since her childhood. How could Leena even think that she had the nerve to marry one? However, the future was still unknown to everyone. Thus, both of them never had a clue that her bosom friend would be crazy about marrying Doctor Qin in the future!
