Journey to Happy Ending novel Chapter 86

Leena found the constant nagging by his brother very annoying. He had been lecturing her all night, and Leena still had a chafed feeling in her ears as she recalled. She wondered why his behavior was so different from his appearance. No wonder he was single for all these years. No one could bear his constant nagging.

Leena sighed, everyone believed she had great potential as she was studying fashion designing in Paris. But her brother Mr. Cold always saw her as a naive little girl. She looked down at her bosom proudly. Maybe she was not in shape for a D-cup, but she was at least a B.

Leena quietly opened the door and looked outside. When she saw the bodyguard standing at the door with a poker face, she rolled her eyes and felt speechless about her brother's actions. Imprisonment was for convicts, and she is his sister. Why would he do this?

Leena complained about the inappropriate time her father had chosen to visit his colleagues. Because that left no ally to help her out.

Leena helplessly threw herself into the queen-sized bed while scouring through her bag. She was lucky that he did not confiscate her phone as she couldn't imagine how bored she would be without it.

Leena picked up the piece of paper that came out with her phone. She wondered where the paper came from, as she saw what was written on it, she jumped out of panic. How could she forget about Kevin? She would be doomed if Mr. Cold saw this note.

However, Leena calmed down soon. She decided to ignore what Kevin had written in the note. He wanted to be responsible for Leena, but this thought never crossed her mind. She scratched her hair and began to regret what had happened. It was stupid of her to have a one-night-stand with a stranger.

Just as she was about to throw the note in the dustbin, Lenna noticed the phone number scribbled on it. Being grounded in the room for so long bored her out of her mind, she thought pursuing him might make her day enjoyable.

Without further ado, Leena picked up her phone and called the number on the note. She remembered that the man had a deep voice and dashing looks. She wanted to test whether he also had a real sense of responsibility.

Many things were going on in Kevin's head when his phone rang. He wanted to know how Daisy was doing. Because last night when he saw her, she was with Edward, and Edward seemed furious.

He was surprised that Edward was Daisy's husband. As for many years, Daisy was raising Justin by herself, and there were no traces of any man. He had thought that Justin's father was either working abroad or being irresponsible.

Kevin knew that Edward had a high intellect and came from a prominent family. As Edward discovered his deep feelings towards Daisy, he didn't try to deny them. Having a crush on someone was uncommon for him, but Daisy failed to notice his intention.

The phone ring suddenly pulled him back to reality. As Kevin picked up his phone, he found that the number was unfamiliar.

"Hi, this is Kevin speaking. May I know who's calling?" Leena applauded her excellent memory because the voice she heard that day was as deep as the one on the phone.

"Ahh... Who am I supposed to be? The woman who had sex with you all night or the poor woman whom you left behind in the club? I thought someone wrote me a note saying he would take responsibility for his actions. But what is the definition of 'being responsible'? Marriage? Leena pretended to be serious about the 'marriage.'

"Oh! I sincerely apologize for leaving you like that yesterday. There was an urgent matter that I had to sort out. And I can marry you if you want me to." Yes. He could marry any woman. As long as Daisy was not the bride, the marriage would be meaningless to him.

"Emm... Are you serious?" Leena was just joking with him. She didn't want to marry a stranger.

"Does it sound like I'm kidding?" Kevin still remembered that his father had given him an ultimatum to come back to Beijing. He didn't want to do so because Daisy was here.

He'd marry her if it meant he could escape the fate of being dog-tired dating different women. Moreover, they had shared the most intimate connection that night.

"Emm... Well... You certainly sound serious. But I was kidding. Take it easy." Leena replied in a low voice. She'd be out of her mind to marry a stranger, not to mention that she was in the prime of her life. It wouldn't be wise for her to get hitched with a one-night stand.

"But I'm not joking. You can think over my proposal and call me if you change your mind." Kevin thought that if he were born in a typical family, he would never marry because of his deep love for Daisy. However, he had responsibilities and a duty to fulfill his family's wishes.

"No thanks. This topic is not fitting for me. I don't need any further consideration. Please ignore my call. Bye!" Leena quickly hung up the phone. And she wasn't happy with the outcome. It wasn't as enjoyable as she had thought! Leena could not imagine what punishment she would receive from Mr. Cold if she married a stranger.

"Hello... Are you there?..." Kevin shook his head while he heard Leena hang up the phone so quickly. She must have freaked out by his proposal. He wanted an end to his obsession with Daisy so that he won't care about Daisy's whereabouts anymore.

Leena tried to calm down after she hung up the phone. She thought the joke had gone a bit too far, whether he was serious or not. But she was surprised that he would agree to such a ludicrous request. Love, at first sight, was unreal. She didn't believe in it.

Kevin fiddled with his phone and wondered why she behaved like this. He thought that the phone call was to force him into marriage, and he didn't mind to have her as his bride. However, he didn't expect that she would be the one to freak out.
