It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 1036

"Don't talk about her like that, Father! And another thing! Making her apologize to Louisa? Is that woman more important to you than your own daughter-in-law?" Kevin clenched his fists in anger, digging his nails into his palms. He wondered what cliched stereotype was going on in Nathan's mind when he asked Leena to apologize.

"Watch your tone, son! What do you mean by 'that woman'? That woman is my friend's daughter! And it's wrong for Leena to hit someone in the first place! What do you think I should have done?" Nathan growled back. Completely irritated, he had a fierce look on his face now. He had always been a senior official in the army, and was entitled to scold his subordinates when they made mistakes. How dare Kevin talk to him this way? How outrageous! And he was Kevin's father, after all. On what account could a son teach his father?

"In the first place? You mean Leena started it? Are you tripping balls right now? My wife is gentle, kind, and has been more than patient with Louisa. She wouldn't have lashed out like that unless Louisa did or said something really bad. And apparently, she did. Leena fought back, which is what you taught me to do," said Kevin, gnashing his teeth. It seemed that his father hated Leena more than he thought. That was not like him, sticking up for an outsider over his family. What was he thinking?

"And what do you mean by that? Are you blaming me for all this? Does a woman mean more to you than your own dad?" Nathan yelled in anger. He had never expected his son to stand against him for a woman. It seemed he hadn't brought him up well enough, and failed to teach him that one should never argue with his own father.

"Don't change the subject! We're talking about your mistakes, not general ethics!" said Kevin helplessly. He felt like an idiot, trying to reason with his headstrong father.

"My mistakes? Is it my fault? Oh, I'm sorry, has she apologized to Louisa yet? If not, then she should run away. And don't even bother to find her, because I don't want a rude woman to marry my son!" Even now, Nathan still didn't think he had done anything wrong. And he yelled with righteous anger, proclaiming Leena's exile.

"You're impossible! If you were a real man you wouldn't say that! If I'd known how you'd treat Leena, I wouldn't ever have brought her here. To you, your own daughter-in-law is just some random chica. How can you tell me to abandon her? In her own home, she grew up like a princess, and you have the arrogance to treat her like shit! You think your decision is final; you think no one likes her; but you're wrong, Father. Everyone loves her, everyone except you!" Anger and fatigue roiled deep in Kevin's mind. Those final words were spat at the old man like venom. It burned deep in the man's thoughts. Kevin's anger was like a pot that boiled over, and all his dad did was turn up the heat. His face was red with anger, but also pale in disappointment. Like an old saying went, there was no greater grief than the loss of all hope.

"Bastard! You spoiled brat, don't you talk back to me like that! You're not worthy to judge me! Get your ass to the playground and run laps! Don't stop till I tell you! I may just let you run till you pass out!" Angry and trembling, Nathan pointed at his son and shouted his command. His son had always been obedient. But since his marriage, Kevin started to disobey him, and held his wife as his most cherished.
