Chapter 804:A Delicate Necklace (part three)

"I would be lying if I said that I've never thought about him. So yes, I have. But it's not what you think. I have no feelings for him anymore. Every once in a while there's something that reminds me of him. There's no love stuff at all. Don't get me wrong,"

Leena smiled and replied. If Kevin hadn't mentioned it, she probably wouldn't have even thought twice about her French lover. Now when she thought of him, there were only vague memories. Everything was kind of hazy, and she was detached from it all. That man seemed to be nothing but an old black-and-white picture without any vitality.

"Not what I think? Girl, what do you mean by that?" Kevin looked at her and chuckled. He reached out and pinched her reddish face slightly. The skin on her face was so milky that he could not help touching it a few times.

"That! That!" Leena grew more embarrassed. Only if she knew what he thought in his heart! That way, she would not be too awkward to show her face, would she?

"What?" Kevin usually did not make fun of others a lot. But now he felt that his little wife was really a cutie and it was so funny to crack jokes with her. She was so cute and lovely when she was so shy that her face even turned red. "I..." I'm going to take a shower." Just then, Leena stood up quickly and fled upstairs.

"Ha-ha..." Kevin could not help bursting into laughter. His loud guffaws echoed in the house, making Leena even shyer. She ran into the bedroom and shut the door without thinking about it.

Leena patted her hot face heavily to calm herself down. Then she opened his suitcase to take all the clothes out and hang them in the closet. As for some private stuff, she even did not look at it, let alone touch. But she grew curious at the sight of a delicate box. She hesitated so much and finally yielded to her curiosity and opened the box. It turned out that there was an ornate necklace inside. It was the latest and most fashionable style this year. As a fashion designer, she knew it was costly. She wondered why he bought it. A present for someone? For her?! She could not help jumping for joy in her heart at the thought of her guess. She quickly closed it and put it back in its original place as if nothing happened. Then she walked into the bathroom carrying her pajamas. She had told Kevin she was taking a shower, so she made ready to do so.

Usually, she preferred to take a shower because she liked the feeling when the water sprayed and scattered on her skin. There was just something relaxing about the spray and the subtle impact of the water droplets. She felt vivid and refreshed afterward.

She couldn't deny that Kevin being here made her extremely excited and happy. It was a feeling that lasted the whole night. She couldn't understand it at all, but it felt like she was fangirling.

But that fancy necklace aroused her curiosity. There was probably a good chance that Kevin had bought it for her. But now that she was clear-headed because of the shower, she began to think. Kevin wouldn't have bought that necklace as a gift for no reason at all. Kevin was not a romantic man. And there wasn't anything to celebrate, was there? It might make sense if there was a special day to commemorate. But the fact was there wasn't. 'Curiouser and curiouser,' she thought, like Alice in Wonderland.

And it definitely wasn't for Daisy. She knew Kevin. He was not a stupid man who would try and get between Daisy and Edward when he clearly knew there would never be any chance for him. After all, he was a proud man and would not neglect his identity and status to do something that risky. Then, who on earth had he bought the necklace for? For his sister or someone like that? Suddenly, she realized that she knew very little about his family.

When Leena finished her shower and stepped out from the bathroom, there was nothing but silence in the bedroom. Kevin had not come upstairs yet. Probably he was in the study now. Leena did not pay much attention to it and went to her own independent workroom. She had managed to make one room available while Kevin was gone. This room had good natural lighting, so she transformed it into her workroom without asking him first. He said that she had the right to deal with everything in the house as she liked. So she took that to heart.

She chose the design style as she liked. Everything in this room was in accordance with her tastes. She had everything she needed as a fashion designer. Although it could not be mentioned in the same breath with her workshop in Paris, it was enough for her needs here.

Thinking about this, Leena was torn. She probably had to move her workshop back here. After all, she was married and couldn't visit Paris a lot, or spend very long there. She wondered whether her assistant would be willing to move here too. It was a lot for one girl to think about.

Meanwhile, it was not an easy task to move her workshop back here. After all, she had accumulated a great reputation there, as well as many clients. So she had to figure out a win-win solution. Otherwise, she would lose a lot. She did not want that happen. The workshop was her baby and she would like to do everything she could to take care of it. At such thought, Leena became extremely annoyed and worried all of a sudden. Oh, God! There were so many things she needed to think about if she was going to relocate her workshop. The last thing she wanted to do was just rely on herself for this. She needed help.

Suddenly, she remembered that she hadn't brought her laptop upstairs. So she walked out and went downstairs to fetch it. She had slept for too long in the daytime, so it was hard for her to fall asleep in the evening. And her inspirations for designs usually fell from the sky at midnight because, at that time, the whole world was draped in silence. She was able to come up with more ideas when there was no noise, and no one up.

But when she went downstairs, she couldn't find her laptop. Even Kevin was nowhere to be seen. She thought for a while and then walked quickly towards the study. She believed that he must have taken her laptop upstairs.

But when she arrived at the door of the study, she suddenly stopped her step. Taking a deep breath, Leena raised her hand and lightly rapped at the door. She had meant to walk directly into the study. But suddenly she realized that nerves were frayed now and she didn't want to be considered to be rude.

"Come in." Kevin was busily tapping away on the laptop, summarizing a report about the field training. Eyes fixed on the screen, he replied without even turning his head.
