The Devil's Sweetheart

Chapter 243 - HLips: Vlips

The dinner was vibrant, and as usual, it turned into crazy and funny with Leena around. When she has to leave with Devin for home, Leena could see her mom's mood dampened. Even she was craving to spend a little more time with her. As when Devin opened the car door for her, without entering, she tugged the hem of his shirt. "Can I stay here for today? I want to spend time with mom."

"You don't need to be so polite, sweetheart," Devin stated. "I will also go home. Grandfather has come back from his trip. You can stay as long as you want and accompany aunty. Don't forget to dream about your husband."

"You are always indecent in my dreams." Leena winked with a teasing smile.

"Did I shoot off?" He teased back.

"Neither you shoot off nor made me wet. Get into the car now." Leena tried to push him into the car, but Devin turned her around and forced her onto the car door. "Remember this." His voice was a little commanding this time. "One day, I will drown and surf on your dream, make you freaking wet until I blow you up with my lusty cravings." Not before Leena reacted to it, Devin was gone.

Leena face reddened with his dirty talks. "He has turned into a big flirt." Dazedly she walked inside the home where her Meemaw was watching Korean drama and dragged Heather into it. "Meemaw, are you planning to turn my mom into a K drama addict."

"It wouldn't be a surprise if I turn into one, Leena. This drama is so good," Heather said with a smile. "Come and sit here. Let's watch together."

"That's the power of Korean dramas." Margaret proudly retorted and turned her attention on the screen. "I find that man is suspicious. Don't you think he is the villain, Heather?"

"No, Maggie. He seems innocent. I smell something fishy with red cap guy." Heather told about her findings.

"What a pity! I was rooting him for the second male lead, at least." Margaret wiped her imaginary tears. Her consistent heartbreak would happen because of the second male lead syndrome, and the only cure she has found is to watch more Korean dramas.

Leena felt like an ignored baby around these two. With a pout, she tried to watch the drama, but her mind was drifting to something else. She opened the Bugs Bunny cartoon on her mobile and began watching it.

The atmosphere broke when all of a sudden, a voice echoed into their ears, followed by a man. "Woah! What a beautiful sight. Three generations of beauties are sitting together."

All the three pairs of eyes turned to the person at once.

"Arnold," Heather exclaimed. It's been a long time she has seen him. "H_ow are you?"

"Uncle Arnold." Leena waved her hand, seeing him. She knew he must be here to meet Francis to talk about the morning incident. I will ask Francy later.

"How are you, Heather?" Arnold asked, ruffling Leena's hair. "Do you feel any discomfort in your body?"

"I am fine. N_othing big has happened. My daughter saved me." Heather gently pulled Leena into her arms. With today's incident, she confirmed her accident was deliberate, but none of the people she could suspect except her ex-husband. Speaking of that man, she doesn't even remember his filthy disgusting face now.

"All credit goes to you, mom," Leena said.

"I am feeling jealous seeing your mother-daughter relationship. Right, Maggie?" Arnold's tall figure blocked the TV path to get Margaret's attention because she is not bothered to greet him.

"Goofy ball, get out my sight before I slash your neck," Margaret said in annoyance.

"She has not changed at all," Arnold muttered and strolled into Francis's room directly. "Are you waiting for me, Francis?" His lips spread into a sly smile. "Ah! Why would you wait now that someone is here?"

"Shut your pie hole and come to the topic." Francis snapped.

"Like mother like son," Arnold grumbled before turning serious. "Alright. I am coming to the point. We found two corpses in the outskirts of the city with no footprints on their bodies. Both were cleaned thoroughly except for the area around their necks. Someone reported two burnt bodies in the evening, and we confirmed it to be Mary's parents. We could not find any DNA traces at the ten-foot radius also. The killer knows to clean a crime scene effectively. Our team is still investigating to find evidence. I will keep posting you with the updates."

Francis only hummed in reply. He expected this. "It's been two decades since we started searching, but we are still running around the rings. I doubt we will get a breakthrough on this case, Arnold."

"Let's wait for them to put down their guards, Francis," That was all Arnold could say now. He has handled umpteen cases successfully, but this criminal is way smart, thinking ahead of them without living a single clue. That woman has instigated his ego.

....

Meanwhile, downstairs, after completion of an episode, Leena pulled Heather into her room to let her sleep despite her reluctance.

Tugging her into the bed, Leena switched off the lights and went into her room to sleep. It's not even two hours passed; she was starting to miss that idiot. Tossing and turning in the bed, she dozed off only when fatigue kicked in.

...

In a blink of an eye, a week passed. On the day before they have to go for their honeymoon, Leena came back to see her mom and Francis. Heather's health has drastically improved. She could walk longer comparative to before and speak without getting tired, and all thanks to Francis. He made sure she followed the nutritious diet strictly. Lying on her mom's lap, Leena was playing a game on her mobile. All her dreams of getting spoiled by her mom are turning into reality now.

"Carrot, don't annoy my mom while I am away for a week." Carrot obediently moved her head up and down.

"She doesn't annoy me, Leena; in fact, I am enjoying her company. Enjoy your honeymoon with Devin, and tell your turtle husband to fasten up. I am waiting for my grandchildren." Heather teased. It's fun to annoy Leena.

"Mom. Don't tease me." Leena face turned red. Turtle? Mom doesn't know that he is a wild wolf. She was glad that Devin did not listen.

....

The next day, Leena woke up late in the morning and got ready like a lazy cat since the flight is in the evening. She picked a modest blue top and blue jeans; it's Devin's favorite combination. She knew it would drive him crazy for the rest of the journey. As Leena suggested, both started separately to recreate the memories she had with him in the past.

Nick dropped her at the airport, and the moment Leena entered in, she heard squeals of fangirls. Curiosity killed the cat, and when she looked in the direction, she could see the back of a tall, imposing figure. Leena doesn't need to go and check who it is. "Should I also get his autograph?" Her face instantly lit up when an idea popped into her brain. Leena pulled lipstick from the bag and covered her face with a scarf.

Pushing all the girls aside, she lunged forward and stood in front of him. A scowl appeared on her face when her babylicious neither recognized her nor sensed her presence. "Can I also get your autograph, Mr. Wang?" She asked to grab his attention.

Devin's eyes sharply moved in the direction of the familiar voice. Although her face was covered with scarf except for the eyes, with one glance, he identified her. Dressed in his favorite blue, she was slaying him with her killer eyes; it is such a torment that he has to control.

The fangirls scowled at the girl when they saw Leena handing lipstick to their prince charming. How dare this woman.

"Where do you want?" Devin asked softly, his eyes trailed her body before settling on her bosom.

'Mama mia! Did he mean it?' She quickly turned to her sides, and as expected, the fangirls were throwing blades at her as if I am here to seduce their prince charming. Arrogant cows. He is my husband.

"Where do I want? Do you dare to autograph on my H-lips? After all, you already have a girlfriend." Leena's daring words evoked the beast in him.

Hearing Leena's bold words, the fangirls sharply snapped at her.

"Hello, miss fangirl. Our Prince charming has a girlfriend. You are not even in reach of her gorgeous beauty."

"Exactly, how dare you ask for a kiss as autograph_"

Voices muffled, eyes widened in shock when their prince charming pulled the woman by her waist. With one forceful tug, Devin yanked off Leena's scarf, exposing her. "How about I try on your natural V-lips also." His soft whisper made her face redden.

At the sight of the woman's face, the fangirls gasped in surprise.

"OMG! It's Leena." A girl jumped in excitement and pulled out her mobile to snap pictures of her favorite couple. "My favorite Leevin couple!"

"How cute of her to ask for an autograph from her boyfriend!"

"How cute of him to recognize her without seeing her face!"

"Leena and Devin! We want a kiss!" Another great girl screamed.
