"Mom, don't be mad at Claire. She is right. It's true that my brother and his wife work for companies." Leena said as a realization hit her. Gradually, she became hypocritical. She pretended to be calm despite being irritated by Claire's words. Her friendliness was suddenly so fake that it made her feel sick.
"I know you're very kind, Leena. But you may suffer if you're too nice to others," sighed Shannon. In her opinion, there was nothing wrong about being nice to the family, but then people outside of the family would still intend to bully a nice person. Leena might come to grief if she would continue being such.
"Mom, thank you for reminding me. I'll be careful." Leena didn't think that her kindness would make her suffer at all. As a matter of fact, she had never suffered from someone doing her wrong. She was born with a silver spoon in her mouth and everything had been catered to her. Her family loved her dearly, and she had never experienced working hard for even just a day. She had been protected all her life that the word suffering was almost a foreign word.
"Leena, what are you talking about with my mom?" Kevin walked over slowly and whispered to Leena. One of his arms automatically wrapped her waist as he looked at her tenderly and lovingly.
"Nothing important. Just a casual talk. Have you finished talking with your dad?" Leena looked up to Kevin with twinkling eyes. She didn't intend for her expression to be that way but her heart unconsciously made her do so. She was nothing but charming!
"Yeah. If I'm not wrong, my mom must have asked you something about your family." Kevin glanced at his mother as he spoke t
Drugged one night by her ex-boyfriend, a mysterious man took advantage of her in an ecstatic night filled with sex.
To take her revenge, she married the man, and used him.
"As long as I'm alive, I'm still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses."
She remained adamant even when he was involved in scandals with other women.
Eventually she stormed off after she learned that he had betrayed her again.But life brought her back to him a few years later, to his astonishment.
her son's changes since they were staying inside the same house. It would just stress her if she took everything to heart.
"Mom is right," Claire ironically said as she rolled her eyes. "Seriously, Kevin, who cares?" She made a dismissive gesture with her hand. Her disdainful face was clearly displaying how much she hated Leena. She was from a family of officials while Leena was just from a regular family. She was simply out of her league. Their families weren't of equal status and it was embarrassing. She would never want to accept Leena as a member of her family as it would be humiliating once her friends and classmates found out that she was just a cheap nobody.
"I care. Leena is my wife. She makes my heart smile. Every day without her is like a book without pages. As the saying goes, she who has never loved has never lived. Claire, you should try to love someone hard." Kevin stared at his sister intently. Although Claire didn't like Leena, Leena occupied a very important space in his heart. He cared for his wife dearly and there was no way that he would leave her in the future.
