Journey to Happy Ending

Chapter 208 Consequences

"Does her family know?" Daisy asked, lowering her head to her outstretched fingers. She thought Duke

loved his sister so much that he wasn't supposed to be quiet about things like this.

"Yeah! I just left her home around noontime. It was not easy to handle." Kevin shuddered when thinking

of Duke's cold attitude towards him.

"What about your family? Do they accept Leena?" Daisy knew Kevin's background. His family had

great prestige, like the noble relatives of the Emperor in ancient times.

"Don't worry! I will protect her from harm." Kevin thought what Daisy said made sense, but he wouldn't

be caught unprepared. If he hadn't taken this into account, he wouldn't even think of marrying Leena.

"Kev, you're like a brother to me. I hope you can keep Leena safe. You should know how much Leena

means to her family, even if you don't have me around to tell you that. So you know the consequences

if you do something wrong." Daisy's warning was not an exaggeration. Because she had seen how

those guys pampered and spoiled Leena when she was with Edward. It was almost appalling.

"Um! I've seen it too, and I know how to deal. So don't worry about me." From the way Daisy

addressed him just now, Kevin knew she talked to him as a friend, not a college.

"Good! Brother-in-law, welcome to our big family!"

Daisy said teasingly, winking, and reached out a hand. Fate is a magic thing. Daisy had never thought

anything dramatic would happen in her life.

"Uh! Brother-in-law? I think it's a little inappropriate." Kevin said and smiled bitterly. So they were family,

just not exactly how he hoped.

"It's not inappropriate. Leena is my sister, then you are my brother-in-law since you married her, right?"

Daisy said and chuckled. The thought of him being her brother-in-law was special! But he didn't like it.

So what should she call Kevin from now on? Major General Gu? Or Kev? Or was Brother-in-law better?

"Come on. Apparently I'm an easy target. So what were the Commander's orders?" Kevin knew Daisy

just came back from the Commander's office, so he decided to change the subject.

"Oh! Nothing important. He just asked me about the military exercises. So when is the ceremony?"

Daisy didn't intend to miss the chance to tease Kevin. She changed the subject back again.

"I'll decide that after the military exercises. Leena doesn't like complicated things, so it will be up to

her!" Kevin was amazed at Leena's unconcerned attitude. As a girl, how could she have no expectation

of her own once-in-a-lifetime wedding?

"This is Leena's style. She likes simplifying everything. To put it bluntly, she is lazy dealing with people.

Anyway, she is agreeable and you're lucky to have her." Although Daisy hadn't spent much time with

Leena, she had her figured out.

"Indeed. She is special. Much more agreeable than most ladies of noble birth. I hope she won't get too

lonely. That's what happens to many military wives." Kevin was a bit worried speaking of this. After all,

Leena was much younger than him, so there might be problems with communication.

"Don't worry! She's mischievous, but she never gets out of line." She's a good girl...but there was that

prank she played on Belinda..."

The sunshine at afternoon was scorching, shining through the leaves onto the path, leaving intricate

patterns of light and shadow. As they walked they nodded at the passing soldiers. Leaving behind two

long shadows, they made their way, obscured by a blinding sun.

Edward was at a low point all day, so the employees of FX International Group panicked. No one was

willing to get anywhere close to Edward's office, fearing that they might get sucked into the vortex of

troubles.

"Oh my God! What crawled into Edward's crack?" Rain asked Aaron, raising an eyebrow. Edward was

fine this morning! Why did he change from fine to gloomy suddenly?

"How should I know? You're good friends with him, right?" replied Aaron impatiently. Rain was bugging

him, stopping him from getting any work done. He couldn't spare the time to think about whether

Edward was in good mood or not!

"Damn it! I wouldn't ask if i knew. You're his assistant, right? You should know what's going on with

him." Aaron regarded Rain's angry face idly. He thought, 'life is boring and we need to find a way to

amuse ourselves. Or else, everyone's life will be as dull as Duke's, like a dead pool.'

"Bullshit! Aren't you his best friend and vice president?

Why don't you know these things?" Aaron looked at Rain's annoying face with clenched teeth. He

wished he could wipe off the smile on Rain's enchanting face to stop his smugness. This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

"I just got back. So how would I know more than you do? You are here anytime Edward needs you."

Rain enjoyed the furious look on Aaron's face. At least he could find life was full of color through it all.

"You should ask Luke, then! He's acting as secretary to Mr. Edward." Aaron found that he was just a

tool for Rain to kill time.

"No way. That guy's secretive as all hell. You want me to ask him? It would be better if I asked Edward

directly." Rain said and winked at Aaron without much enthusiasm, which still almost killed Aaron.

"Do you think I am too easygoing to tell people to sod off? If you have a conscience you'd get off your

butt and help me with my work." Aaron squinted at Rain, with one eyebrow raised.

"There are files piling up on my desk too, okay? Why I always have so much work I'll never know.

Edward's a typical capitalist, using us as slave labor. He should stand behind us, cracking a whip." The

mountain of files on his desk drove Rain crazy. But he tended to be like this: the more work he had, the

more of a vacation he needed. In this way, he could double the result with half the effort.
