It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 1591

When their parents learned that Leena was pregnant, they were all ecstatic. Shannon was so happy that she shed a few tears of joy. They all looked forward to becoming grandparents. In her happiness, Shannon went to the temple to thank Buddha for granting her wish of a precious grandchild. Now, all they wanted was for Leena and the baby to be healthy.

On the other hand, Nathan was all smiles after hearing the good news. He was not one to easily show his emotions, regardless if he was happy or sad. But he called Leena to say a few words to her, mainly telling the mother-to-be to take good care of herself, but in his usual stern and strict way. It seemed that he did not dislike his daughter-in-law after all.

"What did dad say to you?" Kevin inquired. He saw Leena hang up the phone after speaking to his father. He was curious because it was surprising for Nathan to call Leena. As far as he knew, his father never called Leena, not even once. Usually, it was their mother who called.

"He told me to eat more and eat healthy now that I'm pregnant. He also told me to be careful and take care of myself and the baby. He said I should not act childish and go away when I want to, because I am no longer alone," Leena recounted Nathan's words. Biting her lip, Leena thought about her conversation with Kevin's father. As he spoke, Leena didn't feel like it was a scolding. He might have sounded stern as if admonishing Leena for a wrong she had done, but the girl felt her father-in-law's concern for her and the baby. Leena decided it was Nathan's way of showing that he cared for her.

"His tone isn't nice, is it? But that's just how he is. He talks that way even with me, so don't mind him," Kevin comforted his wife. He was worried that Leena would be upset if she felt his father was berating her, so Kevin immediately sought to assure her. He didn't want to see his wife become depressed over something that was due to misinterpretation.

It was Leena's turn to assure Kevin. "I'm fine, don't worry. I'm not upset. Besides, I think that he cares more about me now than he did before. He used to be so indifferent to me in the past. But now, he even called me himself. That's a huge step forward, don't you think so? So I am not going to be upset with his manner of speaking." She had put on a pretty smile. The doctor told her it was not good for the baby when the mother was in a bad mood. So, she tried her best to look on the bright side of things and to always be in a good mood. Admittedly, Leena was beginning to experience mood swings because of the pregnancy. She often felt emotional, and was emotionally fragile these days, but worked hard to control her moods.

"I know you're right. My father is strict and uptight. But, perhaps he's changed. Calling you himself should mean something, don't you think so? I think most of the time he's just too shy to show how he truly feels. Or perhaps, he doesn't know how to deal with you. After all, he's done some not-so-nice things to you before," Kevin said. Knowing his father well, even Kevin felt intimidated by the man. Ever since he was small, he had always been afraid of Nathan because he was strict and harsh. He treated his son as if he was a soldier. And this was one of the reasons why Kevin decided to join the army when he became older. The fact was, being raised as a soldier by his father helped him get through military life, and Kevin would always be grateful to Nathan for that.

"That's right. So, I've decided to think that what your father said to me was his way to show concern for me and our baby. I promise I will not think that he doesn't like me or isn't nice to me based on that conversation. Please stop worrying," Leena told her husband. Nathan's firm nature was totally different from Jonathan's cold-heartedness. But Leena also saw the similarities between the two men. She sensed that Nathan and Jonathan had strong personalities. While they might initially appear indifferent, once they got to know you, they turned out to be kind and generous human beings.

"You're really a good daughter-in-law, and should be awarded for that," Kevin teased his wife. A warm smile spread on his face. Kevin appreciated what Leena said. The woman was indeed very kind, and he felt very lucky to have her in his life.
