"No, I'm okay." Leena flashed a sweet smile to him. Uneasy as she was, she really wasn't one to pee on other people's parades. She'd rather have the people in her life happy than have them worry about her.
"Still worried?" Kevin asked, drumming on the wheel and glancing at her through the rear view mirror.
"A little," Leena pouted and frankly acknowledged what was on her mind.
"I told you I'll always be with you. What are you worried about?" Kevin frowned. He had never seen Leena so timid before -- but what happened to her this ti? Was she worried they would make unkind remarks about her looks and generally tear her down, as it happened when ugly girls t their in-laws? She was gorgeous, so that couldn't be it, could it?
"Major General, I think Leena's scared that your father would bore her to death with his ideological lectures," Lee teased. He was sitting in the passenger seat. Typically serious, he wanted to do sothing to try to cheer Leena up. She looked pretty glum.
"Yes! Lee, have you already been given the ideological lectures?" Leena pursed her lips, fearing that she would get the answer she dreaded.
"Not yet. He's just said a few words to here and there. The topics were all about the troop. But he may be saving the long sermons for you especially. You're a new mber in his family, after all." Lee liked Leena's amiable manner, which made her more approachable than the Commander's daughter. Although Leena was from a rich family, while the other woman was from a family of a high-ranking official, there were vast differences between them.
"Lee, don't exaggerate things just to scare her. She was already scared enough
right. I am a lucky man." Kevin couldn't help laughing out loud. Lee's comnt did the trick. A happy smile spread all over his face, and he didn't even know it.
"So I think your father would certainly like her. But as for Miss Claire, it's hard to say." At the ntion of Claire, Lee's voice trailed off. In his eyes, Claire was a lot like Louisa, who was also very arrogant and obstinate.
"Yes, this is also my concern. But Leena looks so sweet, she's the type of woman Claire should like." Kevin arranged his coat to cover Leena better. Reminded of Claire by Lee, he began to worry about it. He couldn't be around Leena every second of the day, he might have to spare a few monts to go to the toilet, for example, and he couldn't imagine what would happen to Leena during such ti.
"I think you're right. We haven't seen her for a long ti. She could have changed a lot. She's a bit older. People are supposed to llow out as they age, am I right?" Not knowing why, Lee beca very talkative today. Perhaps it was because he was really very concerned about Leena, which was why he talked about her.
