It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 987

"Claire, what are you talking about? No wonder what? Don't be so rude." A resigned sigh came from Shannon. Why couldn't Claire be a bit polite? It was too late to teach her manners now even if she wanted to. They had already completely spoiled her and she would not even listen nor accept other's warning anymore.

"Well, I didn't mean anything! Don't ask me anything more, Mom. Please! Just keep on talking with my sister-in-law!" Claire dared not act too offensively in front of her mother, thus, she called Leena her sister-in-law instead of a single word of 'she'. She did not want to hear her mother keep informing her over and over again to be polite or that kind.

"Don't be so talkative and stop interrupting me when I'm talking to Leena." Another sigh came out of Shannon to express her frustration. What could she do to make her daughter be the same with Leena? It worried her that Claire might find it difficult to find a date and moreover, get married. She was too willful and no one would like to marry such a girl.

"It's alright, Mom. You can ask me anything you want to know. I'll tell you everything as long as I know." A sweet smile appeared on Leena's face and it made her eyes cutely chinky. What an adorable sweet girl!

"I see, Leena. Then I'll just ask straightly. You look quite young!" Shannon stopped being polite and asked Leena. She really wanted to know more about her and her family. She liked her.

"Yeah! I'm 22 years old. A bit young." That question embarrassed Leena a bit but nonetheless, she remained smiling. Although she was legally allowed to get married at this age, it was still too early since nowadays females did not get married at such a young age.

"Oh, I see. Then you are younger than Claire," Shannon said to Leena and then turned to Claire. " Claire, you see? Leena is even younger than you but she is politer. You can stay with her to learn the manner." Shannon took the chance to give her daughter a lecture, not knowing that what she did just made Claire even more furious with Leena.

"Mom, why do you keep talking nicely of her? And why should I learn the manner from her? To learn her tacky manner?" Claire shouted irritatedly and then shut her mouth. Fine! Leena was undeniably beautiful. Her main concern was not how she looked but her family! No matter how beautiful she was, she would be nothing in her eyes should she come from a poor or ordinary family.

"Claire, what are you talking about? Be nice! Tacky manner? Leena is not tacky at all. But you? You always buy those strange clothes at will and I did not say a word to it," Shannon rebuked Claire in a low voice. She could not help but feel a headache at the thought of all the clothes inside her child's wardrobe. It could have made her feel better if she was using all those clothes. Unfortunately, no. Most of Claire's clothes were still with price tags on them and were left inside the wardrobe for long.

"Fine, fine, Mom! Keep talking with my sister-in-law, please! Why did you get me involved in your conversation?" Claire snuggled up to Shannon and asked for affection. A complex feeling emerged in Leena's heart. She never thought it was a big deal without her mother beside, but now she could not help but feel a bit sad. She never had the chance to enjoy having a mother. How did it feel to have a mother?

"Hey, you interrupted our conversation, okay?" Shannon said and knocked on Claire's head slightly. Why couldn't she be quiet for a while? She was obviously stealing the scene. How could she go on with her conversation with Leena now?
