It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 1610

"And in case I actually did that, then what?" Tiana challenged. All she wanted was a little family affection from him. But why was it so difficult for him to give that to her?

Glaring at Tiana, Rain said, "If you want to do that, you can always give it a try to see what would happen." The corner of Rain's lips curved into a twisted smile. He couldn't understand why Tiana insisted on provoking him with ridiculous demands. But he would make up his mind that she was not worth his time or attention.

Sensing the rising tension between her two companions, Leena quickly intervened. "Miss Ke, I think it is better for us to start eating before the food gets cold," she said with a nervous smile. Noting the curious looks thrown their way by other customers in the restaurant, Leena thought it best to settle the animosity between Rain and Tiana or at least calm them down.

"Do you think I still have an appetite after all this?" Tiana cried out. She was annoyed that all Leena could think about was food. But then, it wasn't Leena who was reprimanded in public.

Rudely, Rain said, "If you don't want to eat, you're free to go. Leave us in peace to enjoy our meal." Rain hated seeing Leena being taken advantage of. So he said his piece without hesitation. In the family, no one had the heart to say hurtful things to Leena, so how could an outsider like Tiana do such a thing?

Angrily, Tiana declared, "Well, I'm leaving! Do you honestly think I want to have a meal with you?" She stood up quickly, oblivious to the stares of everyone. Before finally exiting, she gave Leena a thoughtful look. A shudder ran down Leena's spine from the cold scrutiny.

"Rain, she seems to like you a lot. Why are you doing this to her? Why being so cruel?" Leena pointed out. She was still trying to figure out why Rain was so disgusted with Tiana. While she might be part of the Ke family, Leena didn't think every one of them was so bad.

"If I don't do this to her now, I will only be waiting for the day when she will brutally hurt me back," Rain explained. There was no member of the Ke family that he could trust or believe. That said, he wanted no ties with any one of them.

"I simply don't understand it," Leena sighed. That woman only looked a little older than she was. Could she be as bad as Rain claimed she was?

"I understand if you don't get all of this. I've read that a pregnant woman would become foolish for three years. I believe that with your intelligence quotient, you could suffer from foolishness for twice as long," Rain teased her. He gave Leena a dazzling smile. Rain was staring intently at Leena and didn't notice that Tiana never left the restaurant. Instead, she found a seat that had a perfect view of their table but was out of their line of sight. There, she secretly observed the two.

"Ahem! Now, you're making fun of me!" Leena complained. She pouted and pretended to be angry. Rain's mood had considerably improved since Tiana left them.

"Well, I won't tease you anymore. But I do want you to eat more. Afterwards, I will send you back," he said. He pinched her nose fondly. It was just like before. Every time Leena became angry, Rain was responsible. But he would quickly coax her out of anger.

How could two people eat while fighting? And then there would be a burst of controlled laughter from their table. Tiana stared at the two. Envy was burning her gut. She, too, would feel happy in that kind of company. But it disgusted her to watch the scene. Because in her world, there was no one who had shown her kindness and unconditional love.
