Chapter 976 Burying The Hatchet (Part Three)
"I hope so. But why do I feel that the possibility is so slim?" Kevin flashed a bitter smile. He knew his sister's temper. And that was why he had qualms about marrying Leena. He worried that he would marry a woman a lot like Claire. If he did that, he wouldn't have a moment's peace ever again. It wasn't really that he hated his sis. More, it was that he didn't approve of the way she behaved most of the time. More puzzling to him was his father's attitudes towards her. The man had lavished all his affection on her, even slavishly. So most of the time, Kevin felt it difficult to call her out, because everyone in the house took her side. So she became a spoiled brat.
Lee's lips trembled, but nothing eventually came out from his mouth. He still focused on the road ahead and drove carefully. It suddenly became very quiet in the car, and Kevin began to lose in his thoughts.
The car zoomed over the expressway. Leena slept for a very long time. But it was a torture to Kevin. He had been holding her in his arms for hours. Staying in the same posture for so long, he almost felt that his legs would cramp.
"Major General, there's a service center ahead, how about we stop there and have a rest? You can get out and stretch your legs." Lee broke the silence as he saw Kevin finally opened his eyes. He had been resting all the way with his eyes slightly closed.
"Okay. We probably need to grab a bite. There's still about two or three hours' ride ahead of us. A break is a good idea. Safety first. We've got time." Kevin slightly moved his numb legs. But he didn't expect that he would wake Leena up with his move. Leena suddenly opened her sleepy eyes. She looked around, still in a daze.
"Where are we now?" Leena asked, her face blushed. She was surprised to find herself on Kevin's laps when she woke up. And she felt a
think too hard about what he said.
"Okay, my fault. Mea culpa. Let's go, I'll take you there." Kevin opened the door helplessly. He didn't plan to continue to argue with her. Because he knew, no matter what, he was the one to lose in the end. Women were not easy to deal with when they got angry and he knew it.
"Okay." Leena reluctantly sniffed. Taking her bag with her, she pushed the door open and got out of the Quattro. Kevin considerately held her hands as soon as she stepped out. He worried that she wasn't completely awake and might be bumped by other people or worse, get hit by a car. There were so many cars passing, so it was safer to hold her hands.
"Kevin, are we near the capital city yet?" Leena raised her eyes and looked around. She felt the place was very cold like it was in winter. While in her home city, it was still very cool and comfortable.
"Yes, about three hours' drive. Are you cold?" Kevin took her into his arms. Only then did he find that she was not wearing the right set of clothes. She was not like him, he was weatherproof. And he regretted that he had forgotten to make her wear a coat before getting off the car, and maybe bring along some heavier clothing with long sleeves.
