It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 1273

"What are you talking about? As to how I see it, she is doing great! I really admire her. You should know how rare it is to find such a nice and decent girl like Leena." Shannon sighed softly as she silently wished for Claire to behave more like Leena. She would surely be happier if that was the case.

"Thanks for being so gentle and gracious. My Leena is really lucky to have you as her family," replied Belinda. Then she cast a glance at Leena and smiled. As Leena's sister-in-law, she couldn't help but feel proud whenever others complimented Leena.

"Actually, I think Kevin is the lucky one here. Being a soldier makes him always busy with military matters. I know that he seldom has time for his family. Therefore, Leena has to manage a lot of things all by herself. I feel sorry for her." As someone who was married to a soldier, Shannon herself knew just about everything that Leena was going through too. It honestly amazed her to see Leena handle so many things by herself despite her young age.

"Sounds like a heated chat here," said Duke as he stepped in with his gloomy face. He was deeply concerned about Leena's health and he just couldn't relax about it. In reality, he had always been worried about her all this time.

"There you are, Duke. Come here. I would like to introduce you to Major General Gu's mother. She came all the way from the capital city to see Leena upon hearing about the accident."

The sincerity on Belinda's face was so clear as she greeted Duke. It was actually a pleasure to see him here. She had thought of giving him a call and asking him to come just a few minutes ago. Thus, it was a pleasant surprise that he showed up here so unexpectedly.

"Good to see you, madam. My name is Duke. I am the elder brother of Leena. It really warms my heart to see you coming from afar to visit my sister." Duke sounded indifferent when he spoke. It was obvious that he was still mad at Kevin.

"Good to see you too. Leena is our daughter-in-law. She is part of the Gu family. It is only natural for us to come here and visit her. We are all relatives here, so there is no need to be aloof. Don't you think so?" As smart as she was, Shannon easily sensed the coldness from Duke's words right away. It was what pushed her to stand her ground and subtly remind everyone that Leena was already a part of the Gu family.

"Of course, you are right. We are all family here. I am sure you are hungry. Why don't we all go out for dinner? It would be perfect if we can treat you a nice dinner since you are visiting our city." Belinda quickly changed the subject upon noticing the tension that filled the air. She was actually worried that Duke might say something wrong, or worse, do something inappropriate
