It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 1037

"Oh come off it, woman. When do I do that? I never think of my family as soldiers. Don't just accuse me of stuff -- find a real reason to criticize me." Despite that Nathan was defending himself, he could not help but lower his voice at the sight of Shannon's stare. His bad temper was restrained a bit. He knew it was not a good idea to quarrel with his wife. She'd give as good as she got.

"Don't try to change the subject. Tell me everything. What the hell happened at home while I was out?" As the hostess of this family, Shannon absolutely had the right to know everything happened here. She was not afraid of Nathan at all. She knew his temper, and how far to push him. She could get away with a lot since he would never hit her.

"You can take your time and discuss it here! I'm going out to find Leena," Kevin said and then started to walk outside. However, he failed. He was caught by Shannon immediately after he said that. His mother was agile.

"Wait! What did you say? Leena's not here?" Shannon was surprised. Indeed, she had a strange feeling when she got back in. Now she grew more confused. Why was Leena not home? Wasn't she staying with Kevin?

"No, she's not! Dad scolded her and drove her away. I've been looking for her for about two hours. But I haven't found her and have no clue where she's at all," said Kevin in frustration. He did not try to hide the fact from his mother. He knew clearly that his mom would be of great help if he wanted to get out of here now. Only his mother could deal with his father in these kinds of situations.

"What? Do you mean Leena is missing? Have you sent someone to find her? It's her first time in the capital city. She is not familiar with the place at all. Hopefully, nothing bad's happened to her," Shannon said worriedly. She was anxious so much that she only heard part of Kevin's words, ignoring the phrase "scolded her and drove her away."

"No, I can't find her at all. She won't answer no matter how many times I call her. I've already searched the city once but there's no trace at all. I don't know where she'd be." Kevin's brows knitted tightly. He wondered whether he should call Duke and the others to get some clues such as whether they had houses here in the capital city. At the very least, they might have some ideas. With their help it would be much easier for him to locate Leena.

"What happened? Why isn't she here? Did you guys fight?" Shannon asked in anger, glaring at Kevin. This was the only possible reason she could think of as to why Leena took off. She thought Kevin must have made Leena really angry. However, as a matter of fact, there was someone else who was responsible for it. Shannon would never have guessed who it was.

"No, we didn't. Mom. Didn't you hear me? I told you Dad scolded her and drove her away," Kevin felt helpless now. Why did his mother choose to hear parts of his words and ignore the important information at a crucial time? He had to explain it again.

"Oh! I get it. I'm just too worried. My brain's not working too well now. But what on earth did your father do?" Shannon shot a look at shifty-eyed Nathan. Something was off about him. Did he tell Leena that he didn't like her because he didn't want to be closely connected with a business family?
