Chapter 830 100 Steps Between Them (Part Three)
"Oh, you don't have to. It's just a birthday present. It was nothing."
Kevin drove carefully. He'd been in the field with the Falcon platoon for too long. So it was quite late when he got off work and drove back home. Leena wasn't home and he was alone. So he didn't rush home -- no one was waiting for him there.
"No. I have to thank you in person. The gift you sent to me is so expensive. I have to treat you to a meal. Don't turn it down, please. Don't you like me? Or why are you refusing my invitation?" Louisa pursed her lips slightly. She tried hard to persuade Kevin to accept her invitation.
"Oh, no, that's not it at all. Miss Ye, don't get me wrong." Kevin frowned and pulled into the parking lot of a supermarket. He got out of the car and went into the store, phone in hand.
"You see what I'm talking about? Miss Ye! That's not my name! That's so distant. Just call me Louisa!" Louisa was born into a political family. So she was willful and obstinate -- it was in her bones and blood. What was more, she had been a party-girl. Therefore, she always showed her strong personality through her words. It was an excellent excuse to ask Kevin out on a date with her. Well, she considered it a date. She would never let the chance go.
"Ok! I'll go for it when I am not busy." Hearing Louisa insist on having a meal with him, Kevin had no other option but to accept it. In his eyes, she was so arrogant and willful, just like his sister.
"Now that we're going out to eat, I'll definitely find out a time when you have time. It's a deal, Kevin. You can't go back on your word, " Louisa said in a smart and teasing voice. But Kevin could not help shivering at her words. He liked the way Leena spoke more. Oh, Leena, yeah. Why did he think of her again? Was he missing her?
"Ok! Bye!" Having nothing more to say, Kevin finished the conversation and walked through the aisles of the supermarket. He went to th
protect his country and his family. So when he couldn't find a way to make his dream come true, he was extremely delighted to see other close family member live his dream. Kevin was such a comfort to Lloyd.
"I see, Dad. See you soon."
Kevin hung up. He didn't want to keep his father-in-law waiting for too long, so he stepped a little bit harder on the gas to speed up. Soon the car disappeared among the traffic stream.
It took about 20 minutes for Kevin to reach the Leng House, just like Kevin had promised. Kevin pulled up the car and stepped out. Lloyd had been standing in the garden and waiting for him for a while.
"Dad, why don't you go inside? It's cold outside." Kevin walked quickly toward Lloyd at the sight of him. It was late now and he felt somewhat guilty for having made Lloyd wait outside, no matter Lloyd volunteered it or not.
"It's okay. It's good for me to get some air outside. Come and let's go inside! It's already late. You must be starving!" Lloyd walked toward the house first. He became more satisfied with Kevin seeing his powerful posture. After all, it was the first time that Lloyd saw Kevin in a military uniform and there were passionate flashes gleaming through Lloyd's eyes. He was so happy to see Kevin that even his pace sped up.
