My Wife is an Aloof Beauty

"At least I know better than you do." Kevin knocked on her head jokingly. Claire grabbed his arm so he was unable to take Leena\'s hand.

"Hmm! I think you know better than me only when it comes to the military uniform." Claire did not believe that a man who worked for the army all the time was more knowledgeable than her when it came to fashion. She thought Kevin was just screwing around with her and did not take him seriously.

Leena was a few steps behind them. She walked by herself, gazing at the two of them as they chatted and joked around. She said nothing, not feeling jealous. A brother and sister\'s relationship reminded her of her own brother. She missed Duke very much. \'What is he doing right now?\' Leena wondered.

"Leena, come on! Walk with us." Noticing that she was a few steps behind them, Kevin turned around to remind her. He made sure to call out to her. Even though he was dragged by Claire, he still paid close attention to Leena.

"Yes!" Leena answered in a low voice, a

trying to convey some subtle message to him?

"How do you know all that?" Leena asked him suddenly, elated by his comments. At that moment, she forgot to be distant with him. His words described her inner world to a tee.

"I sensed it intuitively! Why? Do you feel the same as me?" Kevin looked at her thoughtfully. Claire had let go of his arms a while ago. He finally had a chance to stand close to Leena.

"Oh, no. I thought you were familiar with the designer, judging from your tone," Leena replied coolly, her excitement dampening immediately. She glanced at him indifferently and walked toward the clothing racks. She had designed them and now she had the chance to pursue them closely. It felt so good to see her designs come to life, out of her designing drafts to become real masterpieces.

"What? Leena, are you jealous right now?" Kevin asked her jokingly, following her. He could feel the unhappiness in her words.

"Jealous? Why would I be jealous? It\'s none of my business whether or not you are familiar with the designer!" Leena turned around in an instant and gazed at him. She had a strange, contemptuous expression in her eyes, as if his words were ridiculous.
