"Little girl, you should know the temper of your sister-in-law. It'll be better if I don't get myself involved. She might yell at me if I do." Duke shrugged and laughed at himself as a picture of Belinda's scowling face came to his mind.
"What a discovery! So you're a henpecked husband too?" pouted Leena. It seemed that she had to face the blame from Belinda and felt that she deserved it. After all, it was her who had set them up in the first place.
"Who told you so? I just don't want to argue with her, okay? Stop. Don't talk nonsense. Remember to give her a call. That's all. Come home once you're back. Bye." Duke was afraid to ask her about how she was treated by Kevin's family. He felt anxious about it and it worried him that he might not get a positive answer. On top of that, he didn't want to give his sister any pressures about it too. He just said a few words to her then hung the phone up. He heard that Kevin was born in a military family. He wondered if Leena could even get used to the serious ambiance that type of family usually had.
Leena frowned as she stared at the call-end notification on her phone. 'So annoying. I even didn't finish my words! I can't believe he hung up on me! Is it necessary? It seems like he is afraid that I might ask him to displease his wife!' she thought.
"Didn't you call your brother last night?" Kevin asked as he shot her with a confused look. He was under the impression that she already called her family the moment she arrived. He never expected for her to forget the whole thing.
"Um! I forgot. I'll call my sister-in-law
e thought. She should have known that Belinda had a fragile heart.
"Don't worry! It'll be fine. I'm sure that she barks worse than she bites." Kevin touched her hair in a comforting way.
"I know it! It's just... ugh! The more she talked to me like that, the more I missed home." The lady was easily upset thus she totally forgot what kind of situation she was in.
"Wow! You made it sound like you are mistreated by my family." Claire butted in while pouting. It seemed that Leena was getting a lot of love from her family. Well, that was just her observation anyway and was still yet to be confirmed.
"Ugh! I didn't mean it that way. I Just got emotional. Don't get me wrong." Leena explained at once. Her relationship with Claire was just getting better, thus, she didn't want to continue the tension between them.
"I don't think too much because our family doesn't mistreat you." Claire said out of nowhere. All she knew was that she didn't like the way Leena talked and how she made it sound like she was suffering since she got in their home.
