It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 1206

"Can't you just say it was canceled for some certain reason? You are an adult person! How come you know so little about strategies? How haven't you been killed for being an idiot?" chided Louisa while she glowered at Claire. In Louisa's eyes, Claire was but a stupid woman. She was fortunate to be born to a wealthy family. If not, silly as she was, no men would ever have interest in her, let alone marry her.

"I..." Claire tried to defend herself but then gave in and remained quiet. She had a feeling that it was no good for her to quarrel with Louisa.

"That's enough! Go hail a cab and go to Leena! I need to go somewhere else and don't have time to drive you back. As to what I've said, inform me if there's any update. Don't delay it," said Louisa with a snort. Her tone was filled with contempt. It was clear that she didn't treat Claire as a friend.

"Oh, I see," Claire answered in a low spirit. She didn't even take much offense from Louisa's attitude. It was okay for Louisa not to send her home. She could just always call a cab and afford it.

"I gotta go, Pola. Catch you later." With that said, Louisa waved goodbye with Pola and got back into her car.

"See you!" Pola waved back. Then she turned her glance to Claire and flashed an apologetic smile.

Leena had just finished her breakfast when Claire reached the Grand Apartment. She was surprised to see Claire at this hour.

"Claire, weren't you out to have fun with some friends? Why are you back so early?" Leena asked in a surprised voice.

"Yes, I was. We had to cancel the plan because of some sudden incident though. Where is my brother? Is he out?" Claire answered as she removed her shoes.

"Yep. Someone gave him a call earlier and he headed out. He said that he has some emergencies that he needs to handle. Anyway, I didn't expect you to be back so soon. Have you had breakfast yet?" said Leena as she headed towards the dining room. There were plenty of dishes remaining untouched.

"He he! Not yet. I wish there is some leftover in the kitchen." Claire put her hands to her mouth and breathed to warm her numb fingers. The weather outside was icy cold. It might be caused by the morning frost.

"Come and have a seat. We have prepared your share of breakfast before you went out without telling us in advance. I'll heat it up for you." Although Leena knew where Claire had gone and whom she had been with, she didn't take what Claire did as a betrayal at all. She believed that she could place more trust in her sister-in-law.

"Thank you! Since you mentioned it, I've been feeling a bit hungry," Claire answered with a smirk on her face and followed Leena to the dining room. Her time with Louisa was pointless and she was now filled with a bellyful of anger. She truly needed something delicious to soothe her nerves.
