Journey to Happy Ending novel Chapter 1044

"Ah! So it's already that late? What shall we do? Mom must be worried a lot!" The woman said as she jumped out of the bed. She almost fell down as she did it too carelessly. It was fortunate that Kevin was right there and caught her in his arms even before she hit the floor.

"It's okay. Mom said that we don't need to hurry back. Don't be nervous. We can stay here for tonight." The man put his coat around her tiny body considerably. It was a bit cold inside the room.

"Really? Didn't you say that to comfort me?" Leena felt a bit shy with how his arms remained wrapped around her. Kevin's continuous gentleness made her face turn red.

"You don't believe it? No problem. We can call Mom to prove it." The man said as he pretended to fish his phone to make a call to his mother.

"Stop! Didn't you say let's eat something? Let's go now!" Leena rejected Kevin's offer instantly without even thinking twice. She wasn't ready to go back home and face Shannon yet. She acted so childishly earlier and she was too embarrassed about it.

"Are you going downstairs like this? Why don't you go and clean yourself a bit before we go for the dinner?" Kevin suppressed his laugh and then gave her messy look a quick once-over.

"Oh! I forgot it. Hold on. I'll finish it soon." Leena stuck her tongue out naughtily and ran to the restroom. She was happy until she stepped in the restroom and saw her face in the mirror. Her smile automatically melted. She looked at the mirror agonizingly and examined how bad her frustration was showing on her face. All her disguise disappeared completely at that moment.

She walked out of that room, refreshed after cleaning herself. There was not even a trace of unhappiness on her face at all. She was far from who she was just seconds ago. Leena couldn't help but mock herself silently as she thought that she should probably become an actress and play on the stage for her excellent skills.

They looked like a perfectly in love couple as they walked downstairs with them holding hands. However, Leena knew that this was not just the case. Her mind was weighed down despite the sweet smile on her face.

"Mrs. Gu, you're awake. Shall we start the meal?" The housekeeper greeted them happily as soon as she saw them. She had just finished warming the dishes with the thought that Leena might still be sleeping. It turned out that she did it at good timing.

"Yes, please. I'm sorry for troubling you and thank you." Leena replied in a polite tone. She knew that the housekeeper cared for her so much simply because of Edward. Nevertheless, she chose to show her good manners to her.
