It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 1098

"My God. I was so scared!" They ran downstairs. Claire kept patting her chest, sighing in relief. Her heart was pounding hard but she pretended to be calm.

"Are you kidding? What was there to be scared of? We just went in and had a look. We didn't do anything bad!" Louisa's lips curled, displaying her indifference to Claire's panic. She too had been very nervous, but she would never reveal such a thing to Claire. After all, she was the daughter of Kevin's superior. How could she be afraid of Kevin?

"That's true, but didn't you notice how terrifying my brother was? Fortunately, I was fast enough to come up with an explanation. Otherwise, we would still be inside, being scolded by him at this moment!" Claire picked up the cup on the coffee table and took a gulp of water, trying to calm herself. Louisa did not know about Kevin's temper. It was easy for her to have such an idea, but Claire was very familiar with her brother's temper. How could it be possible for her to be calm and collected under his gaze?

"We didn't get caught. I don't think there's anything to be worried about now." Louisa pretended to be unconcerned and composed. But like Claire, she picked up the cup too and swallowed the cold water, allaying her fears.

"What's up? You both seem to be in a state of shock. What happened?" Leena came out of the kitchen and asked curiously when she saw their nervous faces. She had been cooking in the kitchen and hadn't noticed where they had gone to. As long as they didn't spend their time finding faults in her, Leena didn't care much about where they went and what they did.

"Huh? Oh my god. You scare me! Why didn't you make any sound when you showed up?" Claire said, rolling her eyes. Her tone held no respect for Leena. She felt that her fright which had been pressed down just now came out and took her breath again.

"I did make sound. You must have been too focused on your thoughts and didn't hear me. Anyway, dinner is ready. Go upstairs and ask Kevin to come down for dinner, okay?" Leena had no interest in Claire's affairs. When she saw that Claire had no intention to tell her what was up with them, she did not ask again. Leena turned back to the kitchen and took out the dishes.

"Oh my god! I can't believe her. She thinks I'm her servant. She even asks me to do this!" Claire bit her lower lip furiously. But what else could she do? Since Leena had ordered her to do so, she could only run upstairs once again. Her big brother was still in his room. Claire didn't want to know how Kevin would scold her if she didn't follow Leena's instruction on this small task.

Louisa did not say anything. She glanced at the delicious dishes on the dining table. These were all made by Leena. She felt that she was defeated by Leena in this respect too. After all, Louisa did not know how to cook. She didn't even know how to fry eggs. This acknowledgment of her lack of skills made her unhappy. She did not want to guess how much Kevin would appreciate and enjoy these dishes later. Louisa was stuck in her thoughts, calculating her next move. 'I must do something, ' she thought to herself. 'What can I do to turn things around? I don't want to see them so happy together.'

Opportunities often presented themselves to those who were well prepared. Unfortunately, this also applied to those who wanted to do bad things. As Louisa pondered on what to do next, she caught sight of the big bottle of vinegar resting on the table. She lifted her head and looked around cautiously. Ensuring that nobody noticed her, she quietly walked over to the table, opened the bottle and poured the vinegar onto the dishes. Afterward, she ran back to the sofa and sat, her heart drumming.
