It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 1528

When Shannon hadn't heard from Leena for a long time, she grew anxious and couldn't stay still. For this reason, she found herself coming to S City for a visit. Entering her son's apartment, she sought for her daughter-in-law but to no avail. The woman was simply nowhere to be seen.

However, Shannon's presence under his roof surprised Kevin. He hadn't found the right time to tell her about Leena's disappearance yet, and didn't think that he would have to do it some time soon. In fact, he never expected Shannon to come without prior notice. Taken aback, he rushed towards her.

"Mom, what brings you here?" he asked. "You should have called me first." Taking her bags immediately from her shoulder, he carried them to the living room. Luckily, it was the weekend and he was at home.

"Can't I visit my son when I feel like it?" Shannon asked angrily. She had asked about Leena's situation on the phone several times. But Kevin, who was great at deflecting, only told her that Leena had gone to Paris. That was it.

"I didn't mean it that way, Mom," he said, as she sat on the sofa. "Tea or water?" She was one of the few people who wasn't a fan of coffee. Shannon gave him a brief, surprised look before looking away.

"Iced water!" Rolling her eyes, she expected Leena to appear out of nowhere. Despite knowing she wasn't around, she couldn't help but hope to be surprised.

"That doesn't sound like a good idea," said Kevin, frowning. "I'll pour you a glass of warm water." It was freezing cold outside, and Kevin wasn't sure if Shannon was only trying to spite him.

"Where's Leena?" she asked, just before he could leave to fetch the drink. "Has she not come back yet?" she persisted stubbornly. Her eyes roamed across her son's face, never missing a single expression. His hesitance spoke a thousand words she didn't want to hear.

"Uh," he said, "I'll talk about it with you later. Let me make you something to eat first." With his mother coming over by surprise, Kevin was unprepared and couldn't think of the best way to tell her the truth. Worrying her mother was the last thing he wanted to do, and if he could prolong the announcement of Leena's disappearance, he would.

"You think I came all the way here for food?" asked Shannon incredulously. Alas, it seemed like Kevin could not escape his mother's impatience. "Tell me the truth!" she demanded. A lot of what Kevin said didn't add up. Even if Leena had gone to Paris, that would not have stopped the lady from calling to check in on her mother-in-law. And when Shannon called Leena, her phone was always off. It was like she didn't want to be found.

"Uh," said Kevin, standing awkwardly by the doorway. "Okay." He turned and crossed his arms. Constantly changing position, he finally cleared his throat and said, "Before that, I'll go get your water first." With that, he scurried away from the living room and took his time getting the glass of water. When he returned, Kevin placed the drink in front of her on the table.
