It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 1012

"Nonsense. Of course, I know they won't bite me. I'm just worried they might say a thing or two." The lady's aura turned bitter. 'What should I do? I totally forget who they are although they have been introduced to me minutes ago, ' her mind kept reeling.

"Don't worry! Everyone here is easy-going except for my aunt. She can be a little harsh." Kevin held her hand to comfort her. He had always thought that his aunt was as serious as his father. It was really weird how the woman ended up liking his naughty sister, Claire, so much.

"Um! Everything will be okay for me as long as I don't do any mistakes, right?" Innocence and doubt were all over Leena's beautiful face. She pretended to be mature in front of Claire but she doubted it if she could do the same in front of so many elders. After all, she was just a little girl.

"Correct. Just follow me." Kevin grabbed the chance. He had set up something for her and what she said was the perfect cue.

"All right. Got it." Leena's answer was spontaneous. It took a little while before realization hit her and made her jaw drop. Did she just fall into Kevin's trap? Not following him meant getting herself busy as she tried to stay away from everyone. On the other hand, following him would mean letting him touch her. Shoot! It was indeed a trap!

Not many people came to celebrate Nathan's birthday. Most of the guests were people who had close relationships with their family, and two of them were Nathan's former comrades. They were not difficult people to get along with. It was just that Leena wasn't comfortable with the fact that they were all officials.

It was Nathan's interest with antiques that made Leena give him a painting work from her dad's collection. She couldn't think of anything better to give Nathan as a birthday gift.

"Dad, we wish you good health and a lot of happiness. Here is the present from Kevin and me." After dinner, Leena gave the present to Nathan with a sweet smile on her face.

"It's the painting of Wu Tao Tse! Hasn't it been lost for many years? Where did you get it?" Nathan was suddenly in bliss upon seeing the gift. He totally forgot his comments about her family for a while.

"Oh! This is from my dad's collection that he has collected for years. He knows you like it, so he gives it to you as a gift." That was a lie. That painting was not a gift from Leena's father. She heard from Kevin that Nathan liked paintings so she tried everything she knew to get it from her own dad.
