Chapter 1184: He Is Your Husband (part one)
Do you really think that I will believe you?" Edward smirked at Leena. He couldn't believe how she seemingly took him for a fool. How could she think that he would believe such a lame excuse? Edward knew that the truth was definitely not as simple as Leena told him.
"That is the truth, whether you believe it or not. Besides, look, here is my new phone. I just bought it." Leena took her new phone out of her purse and handed it to Edward. She wanted to prove that she was saying the truth and that she didn't lie to him.
"Well, I believe that your phone was broken. What I don't believe is how it was broken." Crossing his legs casually, Edward gave her phone an uninterested glance. Yes, it was indeed a new one. However, it didn't mean that he would believe what she said just because she got herself a new phone.
"How was it broken? What do you mean?" Leena furrowed her eyebrows and pretended that she didn't understand what he said. She was secretly wondering if Tom had told Edward about what happened last night. Good Lord! She sincerely hoped not. He couldn't have told Edward about it, could he? Tom was not like Rain, he was not the type of person who would be spreading others' secret like it was butter to a toast. If it was Rain who knew about her secret, then he would have probably told Edward already, but not Tom. She trusted Tom.
"Well, you're the only one who knows what I mean. By the way, why did you decide to come here all of the sudden? You haven't been here for a long while," complained Edward. It was obvious that he wasn't happy about Leena not visiting them.
I'm sorry but I just got really busy these days! If only I'm not busy, trust me, I will definitely come here to bother up every day until you get annoyed with me." Leena felt a bit guilty that she didn't spend much time with her brothers after she was married. She knew that they all cared so much about her and would always want her around. However, married life was not as easy as she expected. Thus, she hadn't had much time to focus on her brothers anymore.
On the first place, why are you so busy nowadays? What the hell are you busy about? You don't even have time to call!" With one of his eyebrows raised, Edward turned to the lady as he thought about these things. She was never this busy before she got married after all. She would always call him at least every two days even when she was abroad. So what was wrong now? How could she even not call him once every week? Or more, once every two days? Why! He couldn't help but worry that something might have happened that he didn't know.
"I'm just busy. There is nothing big about it. There are just so many little things that I need to do these days. Why? Are you all mad at me?" Leena stuck her tongue out at him. Honestly, she didn't expect herself to be this busy before she got married too. Things just changed so much that she felt like her time didn't belong to her anymore. She had lost much of her free time that she couldn't do what she wanted to as freely as before.
"Well, how about this? I will send a maid to help you out. That way, you wouldn't have to do everything by yourself." Edward was not a fool. He might not have clearly understood what Leena meant by 'little things' but it was easy for him to figure out that she was spending a lot of time on housework. Thus, he offered her a maid. That would definitely resolve her lack-of-time issue and get her more time to hang out or even call.
"Umm. You don't need to do that. How about we wait and see? If I am still busy after a while, I will go and find a maid myself. You are already very busy and I don't want to bother you." Leena waved her hands. Truth was, she had already considered hiring a maid before but then changed her mind. She wanted to be with Kevin in their apartment without a third wheel. However, she would need to be preparing the clothes for the upcoming fashion show within the next few days. The sudden thought of the event made her bite on her lip. She knew that she was no-superwoman at all and doing house choirs would surely take up a lot of her time. She needed to focus on her designs now. Was it really the time for her to get a maid?
"Don't exhaust yourself too much, Leena. We can surely hire a maid for you. It's not expensive at all! Though I know that you like cooking for the ones you love and think that it's a very romantic thing to do, you have to put yourself first." Edward's voice suddenly sounded worried. He was even frowning when he continued. "You must take care of your health. Don't you remember what Tom told you the last time? Your resistance to diseases is lower than before, so you shouldn't be exhausting yourself." Leena might be careless but that didn't mean that he was as careless as her. Leena used to be sickly during her younger age and he knew how much she struggled to be as healthy as she was now. Thus, seeing Leena as busy and overworked made those people who cared deeply about her worry.
"Edward, you don't need to worry about me. I will look after myself. Can't you stop being a worrywart?" Leena said these words in a sweet tone before gently leaning into her brother's arms. She wanted him to stop worrying so much about her. She wasn't a little girl anymore and she could surely take care of herself. What she was doing right now was actually one of her tactics since she knew that her brothers couldn't resist her whenever she acted this sweetly.
