My Wife is an Aloof Beauty

"Is it really just you missing Dad? I don't think so," said Kevin. He looked at Leena knowingly. Leena really thought that she did a great job in disguising herself but her glances betrayed her thoughts. She was afraid of looking at Kevin directly in his eyes whenever she lied.

"Enlighten me. Tell me what I'm thinking of right now?" asked Leena. A wry smile was on her face when she lifted her head and looked at Kevin with both tenderness and passion.

"You must be thinking about me right now. You love me too much to ignore me or get angry at me. Am I right?" Kevin touched her pink and soft cheek. He had planned to speak out what was inside her mind but stopped on second thought in fear that he might frustrate her more.

"Don't be silly. I can't think about you now. Plus, you're standing in front of me. How and why would I miss you?" said Leena. The lady pursed her lips and smiled in a mocking manner. Her lively and smart expression was charming.

"Well, Haven't you decided to marry me and become my wife at last?" said Kevin. Then, he pulled Leena's body closer to himself, moved his lips close to her ear, and let his breath slowly touch her skin. His warm and clean breath alone was magic and it set Leena's heartbeat to skyrocket.

"Yeah! You should be nice to me. Otherwise, you may end up as my ex-husband." Leena squeezed her fist between herself and Kevin as she tried to keep some distance between them. The intimacy between them was just too bewildering.

"Well done, Sweetie. You have learned how to threaten me. Think about this though. Do you think I'll ever become your ex-husband? I can't even wait to find out who will dare to take you away from me," said Kevin animatedly. It wouldn't be easy for anybody to rob him of any of his possessions, more so, his wife.

e profound with every second? For good or for bad, they started to communicate and re-confirm their commitments about their love and marriage.

Leena was awakened by the noise of some soldiers participating in training the next morning. To her surprise, Kevin wasn't lying in the bed with her. She wondered where he was, when did he leave and how could she sleep like a log without knowing anything.

Before she could get out of the bed, Claire came inside the room without tapping at the door. She looked at Leena's plain pajamas defiantly and scornfully.

"You woke up late! Mom and Dad are taking a walk outside. Change and cook breakfast for the whole family before Mom and Dad come home," Claire snapped. She looked at Leena with disdain. Her goal was to embarrass Leena before the whole family. She had hated the woman because her mother had been blaming her for everything ever since Leena came.

"I'm sorry. I'll do it in a few minutes after I have cleaned up." Leena blushed scarlet by her sister-in-law's cold remarks. However, it was just six o'clock in the morning. Thus, she didn't think she got up late. She was never a morning person and she wasn't used to waking up this early.
