Chapter 1588 Kevin's Return (Part Three)

"Not at all!" answered Lee, proudly. "You said you wanted to surprise her, so I made a mental note not to open my mouth about it." Lee would've been pretty foolish to disobey Kevin's instructions.

"That's good to know," said a satisfied Kevin, "let's go then." Resting his hands into his pockets, he clutched the gift he brought for Leena. During his last training, he asked a friend to help him buy a gift. It was not, however, for Leena. Although he had hurt her plenty of times, he had hoped that the small gesture would be enough for her to forgive him.

When he arrived at the Grand Apartment, the entire house was dead silent. Apparently, Leena wasn't at home yet. So it seemed that it was not a proper time for his wish to give her a surprise.

Even when he was away for a while, nothing much had changed in the house. Everything seemed familiar, and in some cases, he would catch a whiff of Leena's perfume hanging in the air.

After looking around some more, he decided to take a quick bath first while she wasn't home. After his bath, Leena should be back by then.

Meanwhile, at the supermarket, Leena was ambling around aimlessly. She didn't know why, but ever since she became pregnant, her appetite had improved so much. She grew an appreciation for eating all kinds of snacks, and wasn't sure if it would induce an uncontrollable weight gain.

In front of her was a young couple. The woman's belly stuck out and Leena could tell almost immediately that she was expecting too. She was pouting, angry like she was having an argument with her husband. The closer she got, the more convinced she was by her theory. But then, the husband was quick to compromise. Smiling, the man consoled his wife. After a few more hushed exchanges, she stopped being angry. A small smile crept up on her face.

Seeing such a scene made Leena admire them. Her hand instinctively rested on her abdomen. 'Oh baby, your daddy broke his words. He said he'd be back within two months. But it's been two days overdue, and he still hasn't come home, ' Leena thought to herself.

Leena heard from around that as a pregnant woman, she had to eat more fruits and vegetables. With that in mind, she dropped by the fruits section and started grabbing everything she liked. In

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.

such a kiss the entire time he was away, she didn't hesitate to give him what he wanted.

"Wait a minute, Kevin," said Leena, realizing something. "Not now." Stopping Kevin's hand just as he was reaching out to lift her shirt, Leena tried to catch her breath. The doctor said that she had to be careful during the first three months of her pregnancy. Thus, she decided she couldn't risk it for a moment of joy.

"Why?" he asked. "Oh! Is it because you have your period?" Kevin wasn't exactly familiar with periods. Although he heard other girls mention it in the past, he so rarely cared about it. Ever since he married Leena, however, he took it upon himself to understand and pay more attention to it.

"That's not the reason," said Leena, shaking her head. "I'll tell you later!" As soon as her hormones calmed down, she began to panic. Leena didn't know how to announce such a big surprise. Staring into his beautiful eyes, she wondered how she could open this to him.

"Why wait for a moment?" questioned Kevin restlessly. "Can't you just say it now?" And for that two months when he was away, he didn't get to have sex with her. Despite the interruption, his enthusiasm didn't waver. He rubbed her earlobe lovingly, teasing her.

"No, it's just that..." Leena's breath hitched at his gesture. Her body was burning with excitement. Closing her eyes, she leaned close against his body. She wanted it just as much as he did. But despite her desire, her compelling reason told her that she couldn't.
