It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 502

Leena burst into a fit of coughs. She couldn't help choking when she heard Mary's tone as she talked to Edward. She kept coughing and felt rather uncomfortable. She swore not to eat anything until Mary and Yarika left, including her favorite dessert that she had started enjoying just now.

"Are you okay, Leena? Even if you lose your appetite from someone's way of speaking, you still need to make sure you don't hurt yourself." Edward was also extremely shocked by Mary's words and tone. But he kept his expression calm and didn't show any emotion on his face.

"I was just caught off guard. I promise I'll pay attention and not be so careless next time." As a matter of fact, Leena knew Yakira Mo. But she didn't know that she was Daisy's stepmother. As for Mary, she didn't know her at all.

"Edward, who is she? Are you not going to introduce us?" Mary glared at Leena coldly. She was resentful that Edward and Leena were so close. But when she turned to face Edward, she revealed a sweet and gentle smile. Despite how much his words hurt her, she just couldn't help being attracted to him. She chose to ignore his taunt about her and smiled brightly.

"Oh, yes! Mr. Mu, who is this pretty and elegant girl?" Yakira was a well-informed and shrewd woman. She wasn't as shallow as her young daughter who mistakenly thought that Leena was a girl of humble birth. Yakira immediately realized that Leena was born and raised in a prominent family at the first sight of her. Moreover, she confirmed that Leena wasn't a sophisticated girl for her innocent personality. Yarika could tell clearly that Leena was well-protected by her family for her to keep up her innocent act.

"Mom, are you trying to embarrass Edward? This woman isn't pretty or elegant at all. Who knows where this bumpkin came from? She looks really tacky."

Mary pursed her lips for an instant. Yes, the dress that woman was wearing was the latest Chanel, but Edward must have bought it for her. Looking at her almost nude make-up, Mary further confirmed that there was no way she was born in a rich family. Nowadays, almost every rich girl from a prominent family would have elaborate make-up on a date. Only a vulgar woman like Daisy always appeared in public without any make-up. She had no idea about the basic social etiquette of using make-up at all.

"Yes, I'm just a bumpkin. Don't even try and ask me who I am. A bumpkin doesn't deserve your attention." Leena didn't mind her scathing remarks at all. Instead, she smiled sweetly in response. Besides, actions speak louder than words. She wasn't stupid enough to forget her task today. She was supposed to work hard and act with Edward. As for irrelevant people and their remarks, she turned a deaf ear to them and didn't bother herself with them.

"Mary, apologize to this lady right now! Behave yourself!" Yakira's eyes turned cold, giving Mary a look of bitter reproach. She was trying her best to gain some information, but her daughter kept dragging her heels.
