It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 1123

"Yeah, I saw it. But still, you should have told me before you jumped on a plane and flew all the way here! What were you thinking?" Leena was in such a bad mood because of him, so she couldn't control what she said. The words just fell out of her brain and tumbled out of her mouth. To be honest, Gerard wasn't entirely innocent, either. He was highly irresponsible. But he didn't deserve Leena's scolding tone.

"I'm sorry! I thought that you would be very happy to see me, Mignonne. So I wanted to surprise you. But it appears I've upset you, right?" Gerard lowered his eyes in shame. He didn't even expect that Leena would be out of sorts when she saw him. He felt like he wasn't welcome here.

"No, forget it. Just ignore me. I'm in a bad mood." Leena was usually sweet and kind, so the hurt look on Gerard's face stopped her from saying anything more. After all, he was not wrong, because she did invite him to come here and visit her. But she didn't expect that he would take it this seriously. It was an 11-hour plane ride.

"Who's your friend, Leena?" Claire came out again, this time dressed more appropriately. she still felt a bit awkward about what happened before. Fortunately Gerard had seen nothing, and was still trying to sort out what happened. "I'm impressed!" she said.

"This is Gerard. He's a friend of mine. We met in France." Leena smiled and introduced Gerard to Claire, but her smile was bitter. She was still not happy about his visit.

"Oh! Hi! I'm Claire, nice to meet you." Claire introduced herself in English, because she didn't know a single word of French. She hoped that this man could speak English.

"Hello, beautiful lady, I am Gerard. Nice to meet you too." As one of the heirs of Blanc Group, it was almost required to be multi-lingual. So he answered Claire in fluent English.

"Thank you." Claire glanced at Leena, she couldn't help but be envious of her. Because all the men around her were elegant, handsome, and rich. How was she always meeting men like these guys? What was her secret?

"Mignonne, is this your friend?" Gerard asked, looking at Claire with a gentle smile.

"No, she's my sister-in-law." Leena spoke fluent French. And maybe because she'd spent quite a bit of time in France, she had no trace of the usual foreign accent.

"Oh? Sister-in-law?" This blindsided Gerard. He was convinced she wasn't married, that she was just blowing him off. Hearing that she had a sister-in-law was a little bit of a shock.

"Yes, sister-in-law, my husband's little sister." Leena had kept Gerard at arm's length ever since they broke up. They still remained friends, but it was hard to get excited about being around her ex. There was a reason they broke up, and that reason stood between them as a huge obstacle to rekindling any sort of romance.

"What are you guys talking about? Is that French? Wow, Leena, why didn't you tell me you can speak French?" Claire discovered one more thing about Leena that surprised and delighted her. Leena didn't care what Claire said or did, just as long as they weren't fighting. She was easy to please.

Leena turned towards Claire and said, "Oh. I was just explaining our relationship to him. But what do I do now? He's here, and I should make him feel welcome, but I would feel awful if I leave you here alone..." Leena looked at Claire with sad eyes. She was going to take Claire out for sightseeing, but Gerard threw a monkey wrench into the works. So much for a relaxing day!
