Chapter 1043: Chapter 1042: Kevin's Heart Danced (part three)
Yes! He told me a young couple would come here and asked me to take good care of them. So I felt very strange when Mrs. Gu came here alone. I didn't expect that you would come later." Saying this, the housekeeper glanced at Kevin with a worried face. She asked a lot of questions to him before letting him in, so she worried that he might be mad because of this. But there was a soldier following him, so she assumed that he was not a bad guy.
"Oh? He told you that, huh?" Kevin didn't know how to feel now. Obviously Leena hid the truth for him, even when she was hurt because of him. How could he ever repay what she did? How could he express how grateful he was for her deep love?
"Yes, Mr. Gu. I don't know what you like to eat. Please tell me which kinds of food you like. I can prepare it for you right away," The housekeeper said, constantly rubbing her hands. She was very nervous.
"Thank you. We'll get dinner. We've already been so much trouble for you. How can we expect you to make dinner for us?" Kevin politely refused the housekeeper's nice offer. It was already very rude for him to come here without notice, so he didn't want to make more trouble for her.
"Mr. Gu, you're too polite. It's our duty to serve you. I get paid by Mr. Mu, and I feel obliged to serve his friends as well. If he knew I didn't even make dinner for you, he'd probably fire me." Panicked at his words, the housekeeper immediately shook her head. If Mr. Mu got it in his head that she didn't serve them well, she might lose this highly paid job.
"Don't worry, he won't know if we don't say anything to him." Kevin still felt it was hard to make the housekeeper cook dinner for them. They caused so much inconvenience due to their unexpected visit. And they were not going to make more trouble for her.
"Sorry, Mr. Gu, please let me prepare dinner for you. I'm pleased to serve you and I don't want to lose my job." The housekeeper still insisted. She believed that there was no other choice, that Edward would have a fit and accuse her of not doing her job. And it had been a long time since the last time anybody was here. So she felt happy to make her guests feel welcome. And part of that was to fix them a meal.
"Eh? So you seriously think he'd fire you?" Kevin frowned. It seemed that he had no choice now.
"Or are you worried about my cooking skills? Rest assured. Mr. Mu tested my cooking skills when I applied for the job. Although the food I make might not be as good as those made by famous cooks, I believe I won't disappoint you." The housekeeper confidently tapped her chest to reassure him. Kevin was amused by this gesture.
"Okay. Then thanks for taking the trouble to make dinner for us." Seeing that she was so enthusiastic, Kevin eventually said yes. Although he thought it might be too much trouble for others to make dinner for them, standing in her shoes, he realized it was only part of her daily job.
"Don't be too polite. As I said, it's my duty. Please wait a bit and dinner will be ready soon." Now that Kevin said yes, the housekeeper smiled affably.
"You don't have to hurry, take your time. We're not super-hungry yet." Kevin thought that Leena might have to sleep for a while. So dinner could wait. Leena had drowned her sorrows in alcohol and she lay on the bed like a drunken cat now. So she wasn't likely to wake up soon.
"Okay, I know. I'll go fix dinner. Please make yourselves at home." The housekeeper knew Kevin was not just an ordinary guy, judging from his noble temperament. But she was surprised that he acted so politely to a servant like her. In fact, it was rare to see such a humble person these days, so Kevin left a good impression on her.
"Sure, I'll be fine here. Please don't worry, and you can get back to work." Kevin smiled. Since the housekeeper was taking care of dinner, he wanted to go upstairs and stay with Leena. He worried that she might do something to hurt herself when he was away.
When Kevin came back to the bedroom, Leena had already kicked the quilt off. Obviously she was restless.
Kevin laughed and shook his head. He slowly walked to her bedside, his charming eyes full of affection. It was a pity that nobody was around to witness this beautiful moment between them. If there was anyone around, he could tell that Kevin loved her. In fact, Leena was slowly walking into his heart, it was just that he hadn't realized it yet.
He gently replaced the quilt and tucked her in. The weather was quite cold. Although the heater was going, he couldn't be too careful, trying to prevent Leena from catching a cold. It was not long since the last time when Leena got a cold in France. He didn't want Leena to get sick again, otherwise Duke would really be angry at him. Different from last time, Kevin was at her side now. And if she got sick this time, he would really be a jerk. Of course, he was careful not mostly because he was afraid of being blamed by Duke. More importantly, he really cared about her health.
Looking at her sweet sleeping face, Kevin couldn't help but pinch her cheeks. Probably because her skin was so fair. And it made him suddenly aware that she was incredibly cute. The beautiful sensation lingering on his fingers made him laugh unwittingly from the bottom of his heart.
