My Wife is an Aloof Beauty

"Hey! What are you doing?" Kevin whipped his head around to look at her while stroking his sore spot in astonishment. She had pinched him so hard that he felt like he\'d been bitten! He couldn\'t believe that she actually hurt him. Where was his gentle and caring woman? Did she mean to do this?

"Sorry, just a stray thread on your shirt, and I just plucked it away. I guess I grabbed too much," Leena replied lamely. Obviously, she was lying through her teeth. But she needed to think of something quickly, and some way to let him know without Claire\'s knowledge. If he continued to trash Claire like that, it might destroy everything Leena had done to try and get on her good side.

"Alright then, scrooge!" Claire mumbled. But she was clever enough to see that Kevin had agreed, so she was chuckling to herself though she couldn\'t resist complaining. She was in no hurry to find a job after graduation this year. Without a salary, her wallet had been empty.

"Don\'t pretend that you don\'t have any pocket money. Today\'s a great day to use it. What\'s the matter? Saving it for a rainy day? Don\'t tell me that you are keeping it for your dowry." Kevin teased. For all he knew, Claire got a lot of pocket money every month. She was not going to tell him that she had spent all of that now.
