It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 1071

"No need to pretend to care about me. You are so fake! Besides, Mom prepared this bottle of water especially for Kevin. If she gets to know that I drink all of it, she would be so angry with me." There was a trace of jealousy in Claire's words. Anyone could tell that she was bothered by Leena, because she was the only one being asked and cared about by Kevin.

"Claire, don't forget what you promised me when I let you go to S City with us." Kevin's tone was cold. If it had not been for Leena, who had pleaded on Claire's behalf, he would not have let Claire come to S City with them and interrupt their perfect married life. Now that he had promised to let Claire stay, she should also keep her word and be nice to Leena.

"Fine! I'll just have to keep my mouth shut. Are you satisfied now?" Claire glared at Leena with annoyance, as if it was her fault. Well, her brother couldn't be beside her all day long to take Leena's side! Claire could wait. She could think of lots of ways to make Leena's life miserable while she was in S City.

Leena didn't understand what she had done to make Claire so furious with her. She thought that Claire was thirsty, so she gave her some water to drink, that was all. Why would she think Leena was being fake in pretending to care about her? It seemed to Leena that she should be the one keeping her mouth shut on this journey back to S City. She would just have to talk less, otherwise she would cause more trouble.

Sitting on the other end of the backseat, Louisa was happy to see this exchange. The corner of Louisa's lips lifted as she glanced at Leena, her eyes dripping with mockery and disdain. She pretended to comfort Claire.

"Claire, come on. No need to get upset over such a small thing, right?" Louisa patted Claire's shoulder and said in a sickly sweet voice, pretending to be considerate and understanding in front of Kevin.

It didn't go as she hoped for. Kevin's eyebrows furrowed. He was unhappy about what Louisa said, but he kept his mouth shut and didn't say another word. He stared at Leena intensely through the rearview mirror. He was worried about her.

Although they had left capital city early this morning, it was already afternoon by the time they arrived in S City. There was a traffic jam on the way. Fortunately it was not rush hour, so it wasn't so bad, or they could have been trapped there for hours.

"Kevin, is this the apartment you live in? I thought you still lived at the army base." Claire raised her head to look at the tall building in front of her. She could tell from the nice decorations outside the apartment that it was very pricey. She wondered if her brother had spent all the money he had saved buying this apartment.

"Yeah, I lived at the army base before. But I moved here after marriage. Living in the army base is inconvenient for a married man after all. All right, come on. Pick your luggage and let's go inside," Kevin replied to his sister's question simply. He didn't ask Lee for help, who had to drive Louisa back to her own house.
