My Wife is an Aloof Beauty

Chapter 387 Hes Right (Part One)

"I'm sorry. My mistake got you a tongue lashing from my brother." Leena bit her lip sorrily. She knew that Duke leveled those harsh accusations at Kevin only because he loved her too much. Duke was always overly tense when it came to her.

"No, he's right. I didn't take care of you. It's my fault. I don't feel like he was out of line." In fact, it was already the best thing that could happen. He had thought that Duke would beat him up. Yet he had only got yelled at. How lucky was that? But he was also aware that this was not over, that Duke might get even with him someday.

"No, please don't take Duke seriously. It's my fault. I'll be more careful. Please don't blame yourself for me being careless." Leena didn't know whether Kevin had said all those things out of sincerity or pure anger. But she felt like a loser for not being able to take care of herself. No wonder Kevin would be mad at her.

"We should hire a maid. This way you would be taken care of when I'm not at home." Kevin took Leena's injuries seriously. Preferred to be alone, he never hired any help. But now with Leena here, he must hire one to make sure she was okay.

"Ah! Taking a shower? How am I supposed to wash myself like this?" Leena murmured as she looked at her scalded hand in worry. Yet Kevin didn't notice Leena's words for he was troubled by the same question.

Leena lay down and closed her eyes. She found that she might have fallen in love with Kevin gradually. Just now when Duke blamed Kevin, the first thing crossed her mind was not her brother's feelings, but Kevin's instead. She didn't want Kevin to feel like he was treated badly. That was why she defended him so eagerly, and it disappointed Duke. Duke must have felt hurt that his own sister talked back to him for a man she married for only a handful of days. You could see it in his eyes.

She sighed. She knew how Duke felt. She still remembered why she slept with Kevin in the first place -- purely out of disappointment for another man. What she didn't know was whether her feelings for Kevin were really love or a mere crush? If she was in love, would the love grow so deep that she could never forget?
