Chapter 1041: Kevin's Heart Danced (part two)

Kevin, did you find Leena?" Driving around, Shannon looked about for Leena on the street, hoping to catch a glimpse of her somewhere.

"Yes, I found her. Don't worry. I will bring her back when she wakes up." Kevin said in a low voice. He didn't want to wake her up.

"Okay, good. Where are you now? I'd like to see her." Shannon really liked Leena, and she thought that she was an ideal daughter-in-law. She felt relieved when she heard that she was safe.

"Just stay put, mom. It's a little far away and you'll be tired by the time you get here. Don't worry. She's fine now. She's asleep, probably after crying." Feeling exhausted, Kevin leaned against the handrail. Finding Leena had eaten up all his energy. And it wasn't so much physical as psychological, the stress and fear and despair that he suffered in the process.

"Okay, Kevin, take good care of her. Try to comfort her and don't let her think too much. You can stay out tonight. Take some relaxation time, just the two of you." Eager as Shannon was to see Leena, considering that Leena might be very depressed now, she thought it better to leave some space for the couple to be alone. No matter how much she cared for her, what Leena needed most right now might be Kevin's company. Shannon herself was also a woman, and placing herself in Leena's position, it was easy for her to realize what was the most important thing to Leena now. To most people, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was always a thorny problem brimming over with endless hatred. But in Shannon's eyes, she felt closer to Leena than her own daughter. The first time she saw Leena, she actually didn't take her as her daughter-in-law, but treated her as if she were her own daughter. Only mothers could love their daughters wholeheartedly, which was why Shannon wanted to see her again and hold her.

"But what about my promise to Father?" Kevin asked hesitantly. He promised his father that he would accept the punishment after he found Leena. He was a soldier, and he had to keep his word.

"Don't worry, I'll handle this. You two have fun." Shannon didn't ask where they were now. Because she worried that if she knew the address, she couldn't control herself and would drive there to see them tonight. And tonight was not the right time. No matter how much she wanted to see them, she had to be patient and wait.

"Okay, Mom, thanks." Kevin was overjoyed. He had thought to ask his mother to help him to deal with the thing between him and his father, but he didn't know how to bring it up. Since his mother offered to tackle the problem for him, he had no reason to refuse.

"Don't be silly. You're my son. There's no need to thank me. Tell Leena, she doesn't need to worry. She's always the daughter-in-law of my family in my heart." Shannon was much different from many other wives of high officials. She had the in-born noble appearance, but she was a very amiable person. She never put on airs in front of Leena and was easy to get along with. She and Leena were so much alike, that was why she was into Leena so much.

"Mom, thank you for all this. Leena will be very happy to hear it." At this moment, Kevin felt very grateful to his mom. Because his mom didn't side with his father. Instead, she chose to believe Leena unconditionally. He was moved in this regard. He knew his mother almost never acted against his father. But this time, she made an exception for Leena's sake. He could see her obvious affection towards Leena. And how could he not be touched by this? She was very supportive of Kevin, too, knowing he did nothing wrong.

Again with the thanks. I'm your mother, not anyone else. You don't need to be so polite. I'm doing this out of love. Don't thank me again." Shannon pretended to be a little angry at him. But Kevin felt very happy. He knew it was a way for his mom to show her love towards him. And such a happy feeling followed him for the rest of his life, helping him to conquer every difficulty he faced.

After finishing the call, Kevin went back inside to check on Leena. Making sure that she was fine, Kevin tiptoed out of the room. He planned to ask Lee to get some takeout.

"Mr. Gu, is Mrs. Gu okay?" the housekeeper asked as soon as Kevin walked downstairs. Mrs. Gu told the housekeeper not to disturb her. So she left her alone upstairs. If Mrs. Gu got angry because of her disturbance, she would be done for. Young girls from rich families were usually very arrogant and had a mercurial temperament.

"Yeah, She's fine. Thank you for taking care of her," Kevin said to the housekeeper politely. Their visit might have added extra work for her.

"It's nothing. Mr. Mu told me that if Mrs. Gu came, we must treat her the same way we'd treat him. So it's our duty to serve her." The housekeeper smiled. She was a very kind woman.

"Mr. Mu? So you mean Edward Mu?" Kevin asked doubtfully. Did Edward already know that Leena came here? He wondered if Leena had told Edward what happened to her recently.
