It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 1609

"I haven't eaten anything either, and I'm wondering if this lady would mind if I join you." Tiana knew that Rain disliked her. So, she asked Leena who was seated beside Rain, hoping she would agree to have her join them for a meal.

Leena hesitated and glanced at Rain. "Well..." She didn't even know the woman, so she was wary about inviting her casually to sit down with them.

Angrily, Rain blurted out, "Tiana Ke, do not try to annoy me!" He had turned sullen when Tiana tried to insinuate herself. He was adamant that she should stay away because he didn't want to lose his appetite.

"I didn't do anything, Rain. I only want to join you for a meal. Is that such a hardship that you have to be annoyed?" Tiana said. The more Rain refused to be with her, the more curious about Leena she became. She wondered why this woman was sharing a meal with Rain.

"Rain, since it is Miss Ke, perhaps she could just join us," Leena suggested. After hearing Rain mentioned Tiana's name, Leena surmised the woman who wanted to join their meal was a member of the Ke family. She thought of Rain and decided it would be better to invite her to eat. Otherwise, Rain could get into trouble.

As soon as Tiana heard Leena, she couldn't help but look at the woman from head to toe.

Blowing out a breath, Rain grumbled, "Since Leena has agreed, you might as well sit down! But you'd better not be saying anything horrible on this table." He warned Tiana. The man was worried that Tiana would say something to embarrass Leena, thus the warning.

"Thank you for agreeing to let me join you, ma'am," Tiana said. As soon as Rain gave in to Leena, Tiana immediately sat down and shared a meal with the two happily.

"You're welcome. We only started eating. If there is something you would prefer to eat, go ahead and order," Leena encouraged her. It slightly annoyed her when Tiana addressed her as 'ma'am' when she didn't seem older than her. But she opted not to correct her anymore.

"Is this ma'am your wife, Rain?" Tiana asked curiously. Her eyes wantonly surveyed Leena up and down again. She noted the dress the woman wore was quite old-fashioned. No matter how she looked, Tiana felt that the dress was something worn by pregnant women. Leena, still looking slim, sat quietly during the cursory inspection. Apparently, Tiana didn't figure out that Leena was pregnant.

"No, I'm his sister," Leena answered for Rain. She spoke casually and thought nothing more of it. Leena didn't notice the sudden change in Tiana's expression.

"Sister? How is that possible? I remember his mother only gave birth to him! There was no other child. Unless," she paused and stared at Rain in confusion. Now Tiana was wondering if they were all cheated by that woman. So, did it mean she not only gave birth to Rain, but also to this girl?

"No, Miss Ke. Please don't misunderstand the term. We are not real brother and sister. It is just that our relationship is like brother and sister," Leena explained. She quickly realized the wrong impression it made on Tiana. So she decided to clarify things immediately.
