Chapter 836: We Are A Couple (part two)

He suddenly remembered that he hadn't sent the pictures to Leena. He quickly ran over to his study to turn on the computer. Connecting his phone to the computer, he sent all the photos he had taken today to Leena, writing to her that he was fine so she didn't have to worry anymore. He walked back downstairs to finish his dinner.

Leena had stayed home all day today. Once she received the e-mail that Kevin sent her, she opened it immediately and looked through every photo. She was extremely careful, since she knew it must have taken Kevin a long time to capture these photographs. She had to treat them with respect. At first, she had thought about letting Kevin make the decision, but then she worried that maybe it would make Kevin unhappy. It was a house gifted to her by her brother. Edward and Kevin didn't get along very well. She was afraid that Kevin would think that Edward had chosen a house as their wedding gift because he didn't think Kevin was able to give her what she wanted by himself.

It took Leena more than half an hour to finally decide on a house she liked the most. She sent the pictures of the house directly to Edward, so that Kevin didn't have to spend more time on this. She also needed to give Kevin a phone call and tell him that she had already made the decision, in case he thought that she didn't receive his e-mail. Because he wasn't at the army base this afternoon, Kevin had taken all the documents he needed to read at home. When his phone rang, he was sitting at the computer and typing. He picked up the phone, which was lying on the table in front of him. He was startled to see Leena's name on the screen. It was quite a surprise. He did not expect that she would see his e-mail and call him back so quickly.

Leena, have you made your choice?" Kevin stopped what he was doing to answer the call. He himself didn't realize that he was smiling affectionately as he asked her the question.

"Yeah, I have. And I have already sent the photos to Edward directly. So you don't have to waste more time on this." Listening to her melodious voice, Kevin's heart melted. He really liked her voice.

"That's excellent. I was worried that I couldn't make enough time because I need to go and see the companies tomorrow." Upon hearing her words, Kevin let out a sigh of relief. He didn't ask her which house she had chosen, because it didn't matter. As long as she liked her choice, it was enough for him.

"I am sorry! I know you are already so busy, and you still spent much time doing this kind of things for me." Leena knew that he was quite busy, so she usually did not bother him while he was at work. As a result, she had learnt everything by herself when she was alone at home - such as how to pay the bills for gas, water and electricity. Now she was a pro at this kind of things.

"Leena, you don't need to say sorry to me, okay? Don't forget that we are a couple now. It's our responsibility to worry and do things for each other." Kevin couldn't help but frown. He didn't like the way she talked to him. She made it sound like they were not a couple, but a pair of strangers instead. They were already married, why did she still want to make him feel so distant?

"Okay, thank you. Now go to sleep. It's already late. You said that you have to go and see the companies tomorrow, right? So get some rest." Leena was deeply worried about Kevin and his way of living. He had to go see many places every day and had so many things to do. How could he take proper care of himself all alone? Each time she thought about it, her heart broke a little for him.

"That's alright. In fact, I just woke up. I was so tired when I got home, so I took a nap first. That's why I sent you the e-mail so late." Kevin felt that he didn't communicate enough with her. It was why he knew practically nothing about her.

"Why were you so tired? Are you ill?" She thought about how he sounded strange on the phone earlier. Leena felt anxious for him again. It seemed like she constantly fretted over her husband.

"Do you think I look like somebody who gets ill that easily? Don't worry about me, I'm not sick. I have a strong body, remember? I was simply tired, that's all. In fact, I should be the one who's worried. You are so thin, and you are living all alone in another country. You are the one who needs to take good care of yourself, okay?" Not taking her attractive figure into consideration, Kevin thought that Leena was too thin.

"I'm not as weak as you think! And I had been living in France for quite a few years before. I'm used to the climate here." Leena rolled her eyes at his words. She was not as fragile as he thought. She used to be quite plump when she was younger.

"Yeah, okay. You are not weak, happy? So, are you cooking these days or only eating instant noodles?" As Kevin said the words, Leena looked at the cup of instant noodles that was placed beside her. She had planned to eat it after the call ended.

"Umm...well... How did you know about that?" Leena gazed at the hot cup of instant noodles, then looked around herself. For a second, she thought he had installed a camera in her room. She quickly shook off the idea. That was not possible. After all, she was not in his apartment. She was in Paris. He hadn't even been to her apartment in Paris, so how could he install a camera here?

"You can't live on instant noodles all the time. It's bad for your health. If you don't want to cook, order something healthy, okay? Or you can go out and get yourself something to eat. Living on instant food is not good for the body, you know. You need to take better care of yourself." Kevin's brows were furrowed. He knew that Leena was an excellent cook. She was capable of cooking something simple instead of warming up instant noodles. That would be a lot better for her.

"Kevin, you sound really concerned." Leena said carefully, biting her lower lip. She was curious about Kevin's reply to that.

"Why? You think I'm the kind of husband who wouldn't care about his own wife, is that it?" Kevin felt helpless about this. Where she got that thought from was beyond him. Had he done something wrong to make her think that he didn't care about her at all?

"No! Of course not. I guess I'm just a bit surprised and flattered, that's all." When they were apart, he had a feeling that they could understand each other better than when the two of them were together. It was because they didn't have to face each other that they could easily say the things that they were too shy to speak otherwise.

"I'm sorry. I didn't make you feel like you are cared for and loved enough." Thinking of the time before, he realized that he didn't show that he cared enough for her. Most of the time, he would ignore her. It was all his fault. "

That's not what I meant. You know me, I just love joking around about everything. Don't take it too seriously, okay? Anyway, somebody is ringing the bell now, so I have to go. Talk to you later! Bye!" Leena said these words as she walked towards the door. She was curious about who was behind the door. She wasn't expecting anyone and didn't think that someone would come to see her at this time of the day.
