My Wife is an Aloof Beauty

Chapter 1156 Looking At Leena With New Eyes (Part Two)

"Leena, don't be sad. I'm always here for you." Seeing that Leena was unhappy, Kevin jumped to try and console her. He didn't know that she was pretending to get sympathy.

When Kevin said this, Leena's heart warmed. She raised her head and looked at him, confused. Did he mean it, or was he just saying it to be nice? She didn't know which one it was. Now she was at a loss and didn't know what to say.

"Ah! You dummy! She was play acting." Belinda shot him a "you-are-so-not-getting-it" look. Kevin was supposed to be a sharp guy. 'How did he not know Leena was faking it?' Belinda wondered.

But Duke had different ideas. He didn't think that Kevin was dumb for not recognizing Leena's trick. Really, he had some second thoughts about Kevin. And he didn't hate him as much anymore. Even he had to admit that Kevin cared deeply for his sister, all because Kevin said "I'm always here for you," instead of "I love you." Duke was deeply impressed when he heard this. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Kevin, with more admiration than indifference.

Kevin just smiled, despite Belinda ribbing him. He wasn't angry at her, no, he was happy. It wasn't a bad thing to be a fool for the woman he loved. She needed him, and that gladdened his heart. That kind of happiness was what he wanted to feel for the rest of his life. There was no need to be embarrassed.

Claire felt left out. They were talking about old friends that she hadn't even met yet. And she got even more of a sense that they lived in very different worlds and there was no way she was on their level. She could also see that they were more like family than friends. And Claire wished she had that kind of support system.

She had fi

forefront, otherwise she would easily lose out to the competition.

"Don't push her. If you're having a hard time at work, just hire more people to work for you. There is no need to pin all your hopes on Leena," Lloyd said seriously with his eyebrows raised. He didn't want to see her lovely daughter being forced to do something she didn't like.

"Yeah, Dad's right. If you're really too busy, just hire people. You can afford the salary, anyway," Leena teased as she looked at them. She felt sorry that she couldn't help them. But she was not willing to waste her life in the complicated and ruthless business world. She had fashion on her mind, fashion in her blood. There was no way she was going to give that up to go work in some stuffy office.

"We're only joking. It's our business, and we'll deal with it ourselves." Belinda frowned. She wasn't really going to have Leena work at her company. She just wanted to give her more options. Wasn't Leena going to get bored when Kevin was away? But she didn't expect that Leena didn't get what she was doing, and flatly turned her down. What was she going to do with this girl?
