Chapter 437: Decorating the Mansion (2)

"It's here," Kanae arrived in the second floor of the mansion. There were several tables, chairs and beds being placed on the corridors.

Kevin looked towards the numerous items there. "It doesn't seem that you want to use this place as your living place."

"No," Kanae grinned. "Laura has a different plan for this place."

"I see. It's indeed too big for you two."

"It might be gorgeous, but I'm not too fond with spacious area," Kanae replied honestly. She preferred the mansion she had more than this one because she has been used with living in a narrow place. Living in a large place like this was clearly not her taste.

Kevin nodded his head. When Kanae moved near to him, he placed his hand on top of her shoulder. His sudden movement caused the girl to be startled. Her dark iris stared back at him in confusion.

"Is there anything wrong?"

"You previously ask me if I want to stay in the kitchen or help you out. Why are you asking that to me?" Kevin asked as he peered towards the woman in front of him deeply.

That was actually just a little hesitation that she had about him. She had heard about his engagement with Alice, but she has been unable to forget about him as all she wanted was to stay with him. After all, he too has been showing her a lot of his gentle side that she was unable to forget.

Because of that, she hesitated to ask him accompanied her. She didn't want to make things more difficult for him more than what she already had. If he chose to nurture feeling for Alice, she would back down, but he didn't seem to be more than friends with her.

"That's because you're his fiancé," Kanae replied slowly. She tried to avert her eyes from him. His face was simply too close with her right now.

Kevin's gaze glinted. He placed his hand on her chin, making her looked back at him. "What if I tell you that I can nullify the engagement and ask you to stay by my side?"

Kanae's eyes widen in disbelief. She looked towards the man in front of her with her large eyes. All these times, they never said to each other about their real feeling as they knew that it would be impossible for them to be together. Rather than ruining what they had, they chose to never bring the matter up.

However, Kanae's hesitation caused Kevin to feel irked. He didn't want her to stay like that because of her feeling to him. What he wanted was her usual action, which was to be herself in front of him.

There was no one around them, so he didn't care about people talking about this matter.

"You can't do that, Kevin," Kanae uttered out and pulled Kevin's hand away from her chin. "If you do that, you'll lose the support of the hidden clans that you have been gathering using Alice's help. When that happens, you won't be able to be the clan head anymore."

She was not stupid. Even she knew that it was possible if he had the complete power of his clan. However, right now, he needed the power behind Alice's background. If he let her go, he wouldn't be able to be the clan head anymore.

For her selfish feeling, she didn't want to drag him down.

Kevin's eyes narrowed. "How do you know so much about the matter of a clan?"

The inquiring gaze from Kevin made her felt uncomfortable, but she couldn't possibly say to him that she knew from his uncle. Moving her gaze away, she shrugged. "Who knows? It's just a normal knowledge."

Hearing her didn't want to say the truth made Kevin felt rather annoyed. He didn't understand why, but her every action caused his emotion to move. His mind drifted back to Jason that he saw before. Could it be the two of them have close relation and Jason told her about the matter of the clan?

He never heard about that, but if it was Jason, it was easy for that man to hide the information. After all, this man could easily disappear without anyone knowing where he went. His hacking ability alone was enough to let him get away easily.

The thought of the two of them stayed close and share this kind of information made his mood soured even more.

"Stop looking at me like that," Kanae sighed. She moved the pillow that was placed near her. "Do you want to help me out?"

"I do," Kevin answered back and moved the items. He would find out more about their relation later. What was important now was enjoying his time with her. It has been some time since the last time they spent time together.

"You're really strong," Kanae was stunned to see him lift up a table with one hand like it was nothing.

Kevin arched his eyebrows. "I'm a clan head. This is normal."

No, that was not normal. Kanae has been practicing her strength too, but that metal table was weighed more than one hundred kilos. It was extremely heavy because her sister wanted to make the second kitchen in the second floor with a long and powerful table.

"Are you sure that's normal?" Kanae asked suspiciously.

"You can ask Mike or Neo, they will definitely say that this is normal."

Kanae: "…" they will do anything that you say to them.

Seeing the speechless Kanae, Kevin smirked, showing a rare smile on his lips. "Now, where should I bring this table to?"

"The largest room at the end of the corridor," Kanae pointed to the farthest room. She averted his eyes from the man's face. Right now, she felt rather annoyed. Why did he still look ever so handsome when he was teasing her?

"Over there?" Kevin walked to the room with Kanae following behind him with bringing the chairs needed.

Placing the table carefully, he saw Kanae put the chair on the other side of the room. "I recall that you're also quite strong when you still work in my office before."

Kanae frowned. "It's just a normal thing for a young miss of a large family to be so strong."

"If you say that to the other ladies, I'm sure they will want to beat you up," Kevin said amusedly as she was merely copied his words.

"What about your strength? Should I ask the other clan heads too?" Kanae challenged.

Kevin recalled Tamari Clan Head, who was already of old age. That old man would surely disagree that all clan head has strong power. That man could barely fight well because of his age. As for Souhon Clan, there was no way Master Ren, the current clan head of Souhon Clan, agreed too. Master Ren specialized in speed as strength was never his forte.

"Some people just born strong," Kevin chose to change his answer.

Kanae smiled. "I guess I'm included among them."

"Are you sure?" Kevin looked towards Kanae up and down. "Shall we compete in strength?"

"….Not against you," she gritted her teeth in annoyance. Just that table alone was enough to prove that his strength was more than hers. If she tried to compete, there was nothing she could do except giving up because of her lack in strength.

Kevin smirked. "Didn't you just say that you're quite strong?"

"Pres –Kevin, is there anything wrong with you today?" Kanae glared at the man. He became ten times more annoying today.

"I just want to see your various expression," Kevin chuckled. For the first time, he finally understood why his uncle loved to tease his girlfriend. Seeing the various expressions on the girl's face was quite an enjoyment.

Because of her, he experienced numerous emotions in just a matter of minutes.

Kanae was speechless. This young man seemed to pick a new habit recently. "Let's move the other things."

"Sure," Kevin nodded his head. There were still more items they needed to move. He had plenty of times to tease this young woman. Coming here has been very worth it.
