My Wife is an Aloof Beauty

Chapter 1291 A Meeting Between The Two Families (Part One)

"Never mind. I know you didn't mean to! Just take this as a lesson. I hope that you will follow the management norms in the future. It would be better and safer for you." Nathan sighed softly. He knew that it wasn't all Kevin's fault, but it had its repercussions, even if he tried to cover for him. Moreover, he had no intention of helping Kevin solve the problem because he thought that Kevin should be responsible for his own mistakes as a married man.

"I know." Kevin didn't talk much in front of Nathan. Although they were father and son, there was little communication between them. Even when they lived under one roof, they had nothing much to say to each other. As both Kevin's father and his superior leader, Nathan always put on airs in front of Kevin. In the face of Nathan, Kevin also showed respect for him. As a result, the two were indeed so estranged that they did not look like they had any familial connection.

When Nathan returned home, the atmosphere in the family was less warm and more political. Having married into such a family, Leena became more cautious. She knew that Nathan, unlike the others around her, was a high-ranking and commanding military officer. Her kindness and sweetness were useless in front of him.

"Why didn't you tell me that you were removed from your office?" Leena looked up at Kevin and asked doubtfully. She didn't know if he hid it from her because he didn't think she deserved to know or because he didn't want to worry her.

"It's okay. It is only temporary. And I wasn't removed. I was just suspended. You would have been stressed unnecessarily if you knew. So, I told you instead, that I was on vacation." Kevin said resignedly. He did not expect Nathan to blow the whistle on what he had deliberately kept a secret. It seemed that god's way was higher than man's.

"Even so, you should have told me. Isn't it hard to suppress it within you like that? Didn't you say that we should share joys and sorrows as a couple? Or have you forgotten what you said?" Leena reached out her hand and stroked Kevin's chest, with her lips puckered to show her disapproval.

"Are you angry?" Kevin lifted her beautiful face and gently kissed her cherry-like lips. The kiss made Kevin feel like he had the world in an instant. He thought, 'Does she know what she is doing? Doesn't she know how sultry she is now?'

"Yes. I a

han didn't like Leena very much.

Hearing Duke's words, Nathan was a little surprised, then looked at Leena and thought, 'Did she tell them? If she did not, why would he say something like that?'

"Don't worry, Uncle Nathan. My little sister didn't say anything. What I have just said is just my own speculation. If what I just said offended you, please accept my sincerest apologies." Although Duke sounded apologetic, there was a touch of sarcasm in his voice. Leena was no worse than anyone else, so he didn't want her to be wronged in any way. Even if he might offend Nathan, he would not allow anyone to bully his little sister, whom he had guarded for more than two decades.

"What are you talking about, Duke? Nathan, he's just a kid. He doesn't know anything. It's my fault I didn't teach him well. I hope you won't mind. Come on. Let's drink more." Hearing what Duke just said, Lloyd hastened to smooth things over, not wanting his son to embarrass himself and the family and ruin the moment.

"It's okay. Duke is right. I do have such concerns. Now that he says so, I'm not worried. And I hope you don't mind that I had this concern before." Nathan was a soldier who had experienced a lot in the army, so he had grace and manners. However, he made no secret of the ideas he had once had, and behaved candidly.

"Now that you've all toasted Uncle Nathan, I'm no exception." Rain smiled evilly. In fact, a military officer like Nathan had little to do with him, and he was just trying to protect Leena. If someone tried to hurt her, he would not let go of that man.
