Chapter 375 The Lady with Attitude (Part Two)
"What do you think? Not as good as yours, but not bad! Right?" Kevin smirked. Having lived in the army for so long a time, how could he be a pampered goofball? He had to know about everything so that he couldn't be worn out. Otherwise, only one field training exercise could make him suffer terribly.
"It tastes good. Kevin. How did you learn how to cook?" In Leena's eyes, the people who were good at cooking must have received specialized training. Wasn't she an example?
"No. I just have cooked quite a lot. " Kevin laughed at himself. He remembered that in the beginning the food he cooked could not just be described as "disastrous". A better description would be "disgusting". Even he couldn't take a bite, let alone other people.
"You cooked such delicious food. If I don't know better, I'd think you were born in a chef family!" Leena hadn't poked into how noble his birth was, but she could tell from his manner and temperament that he wasn't as ordinary as some children of high-ranking officials. As such, how could a girl like her, who almost knew nothing, get the approval of his parents? 'What if they both don't like me?'
Leena's heart suddenly sank at the thought of this possibility. She didn't know why she began to pay more attention to everything related to him. Even stranger for her, she thought about more about him gradually.
"There's a saying: 'Don't judge a book by its cover.' It makes sense. When you see something, don't only focus on the appearance. The most important thing is to discover the inner qualities. You only know what's in a book by opening it. You only know who I am by getting to know me."
Kevin put one piece of Sweet and Sour Pork into her bowl. Seeing her struggle with eating with her burnt hand, he frowned, then he got up to the kitchen immediately, fetched a spoon quickly and walked back out.
"You can use this for the moment! At least while your hand is still healing." Kevin put the spoon he held into her bowl and carefully loaded it with food.
"Thanks!" Leena said, returning a sweet smile to him. This casual smile made Kevin into a drooling fool at first, but he struggled back to reality quickly.
When the lovers were together, they didn't need too many sweet or romantic words. Sometimes, a soothing smile or an admiring gaze would be enough to express their true inner thoughts. Leena was the one who was getting close to this every day. Finally, would she lose her heart step by step?
The dazzling lights at night lit up everything, but they couldn't light up someone's heart. Most of the time, not everyone would pray for the beautiful image: All shall be well, Jack shall have Jill. Instead, they chose to ruin it deliberately, by taking the "all or nothing" approach. And Rachel was exactly this kind of person. So when she saw Duke and Belinda in Sexy World, Rachel snorted coldly and then stepped forward to greet them snarkily.
"Duke, What a coincidence! I never expected to see you here." Rachel deliberately ignored Belinda again. She could still remember last time when Duke, not caring who saw him, hugged and kissed this woman in public. She didn't know if this woman was the same one that Edward said Duke was married to. If what Edward said was true, she would like to know what was so unique and special about this woman. What made Duke throw away his low-key style and engage in public displays of affection with her? What was up with that?
"It's you. Need anything?" Duke said and frowned. He was surprised to see Rachel here, but this time he didn't let go of Belinda's hand. Instead, he held it even more tightly. He wouldn't let her get to him again.
"Is this your secretary? Why else would you take her with you everywhere?" Rachel said and glanced at Belinda. Although she knew Belinda was not just his secretary, she couldn't help trashing Belinda
because of her selfishness. She always thought she was the right woman who should stand beside Duke. Only Rachel, not Belinda.
"Rachel, do you know anyone who takes their secretaries with them after work? It's personal time now. Lover or wife, which do you think is more likely?"
Duke glanced at Rachel without warmth. The coldness from Duke flew through Rachel's whole body and chilled her to the core.
Belinda was standing there still, gazing at the entrance of Sexy World. Her beautiful face showed no emotion. She didn't even spare a look of contempt for Rachel. She regarded her like the air. You breathe it, and not think about it. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
She didn't like the women who were arrogant or put on an attitude. She didn't take any of Rachel's words personally. She knew the truth, and nothing would change no matter what Rachel said or what she tried to make up. Last time, she was uncomfortable when she saw this woman. She couldn't believe that Rachel had the guts to insult her again. Belinda thought she might be out of her mind.
"Duke, you didn't use to talk to me this way. Why have you changed so much. If I recall correctly, you used to call me "Ray" affectionately, quietly. Why are you so distant to me now? Rachel bit her lip and couldn't accept Duke's "sudden" change or his cold attitude. She was still living in the past when Duke treated her gently, overlooking the fact that people change over time. Given enough time, everything changed.
