It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 1068

"Hey, don't drag me into your business. I am quite happy that she is not nagging me for the moment!" To be honest, Nathan was still traumatized about last night. Her constant badgering about their son made his ears hurt! He wondered how a middle-aged woman could be this energetic, talking about the same old thing over and over again. He was bored to tears by her nagging. By the end of the day, she sounded like a broken record. Nathan shook his head slowly, a bittersweet smile on his face.

"Dad, how can you ignore my feelings? The moment my brother came home, you started to favor him over me. I feel so neglected by you." Claire pouted and grabbed her father's arms. Like a little girl, she pulled his sleeves and shook his arms constantly.

"All right, honey, stop bugging your father now. He needs to attend to some business later on. He is in a hurry. You shouldn't waste his time and energy like that. And now that you are up, why don't you join us to the dining room for some breakfast? What about your Miss Ye? Has she gotten up yet?" Shannon walked up to the foot of the staircase and looked behind Claire. She was not sure if her daughter's guest would join them for breakfast.

"What are you on about? Mom, she is my guest, okay? Why can't you be nicer to her? She is afraid of you already. This is not a nice way to treat my friend!" Claire raised her voice and glared at her mother unpleasantly. She was quite mad at Shannon for her hostile attitude toward Louisa. It seemed to her that her mother clearly held something against her friend, since she tried to avoid Louisa on most occasions.

"What are you talking about? Did she actually say to you that I have been harsh to her? I know very well that she is your guest. That is why I have been polite to her all this time. What is so wrong with my attitude?" Shannon said, giving her daughter a stern look. It was true that she didn't like Louisa at all. However, she maintained her cool and accommodated her in the house. Shannon treated her in a decent manner because she was a smart woman who knew how to deal with 'unwanted guests' when she had to.

"I am not blaming you for your attitude here. I am not even blaming you for your coldness toward Louisa. As far as I am concerned, she is a sweet girl. I hope you can call her by her first name rather than this distant 'Miss Ye'. It makes me so mad," Claire snapped at her mother and shook her head in disapproval. She couldn't describe how she felt about it in her heart, but one thing she knew for sure was that her mother did not treat Louisa the way she deserved to be treated. In her opinion, her mother should welcome Louisa with open arms and greet her with big smiles. That was the correct way to treat her friends! She felt so ridiculous. Claire didn't know how Louisa saw the whole situation. But for Claire, her mother's aloof attitude was definitely awkward and unnecessary.
