It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 990

Leena heaved a sigh. She knew clearly that she was a daughter-in-law in this family. Although her mother-in-law was very good to her and her father-in-law seemed friendly and wouldn't purposely make difficulties for her, Claire's hostility was enough to make her heart hurt silently. It was something that she didn't expect. She might have had herself ready for this day but then her strength melted as she faced it.

"What are you thinking about? You seem to be miles away." Kevin wrapped Leena's waist with his arms as he spoke. The sweet act made Leena's sadness vanish instantly as she pressed herself harder in his warm embrace.

"Nothing. Have you finished?" The corners of her lips lifted as she held her helplessness back. She was suddenly smiling without turning to Kevin.

"Yeah. Are you homesick?" The man rested his chin on Leena's head and sniffed her mildly fragrant hair. This girl had brought many surprises to him. He had always thought that she would cause a lot of troubles because of her young age and he would have to clean up her mess. She had proved him wrong though. She was different from how he perceived her. She was beyond anything he had expected.

"No. It's just that I haven't seen my dad for a long time, so I miss him." Leena hesitated before she rested her hands just above Kevin's. It felt nice to feel how warm he was.

"Is he travelling somewhere again?" Kevin liked his father-in-law, and his father-in-law also liked him and spoke highly of him. Although Duke treated him as an enemy and always embarrassed him, he felt warm as his father-in-law sincerely took him as a family member.

"Yes. He has gone to Chicago. He was busy with work and didn't have time to travel when he was younger. That is the reason why he wants to travel the world and experience a lot of new things while he is still healthy." Thoughts of her father made Leena's smile wider. She once proposed to travel with her father but was rejected. He said that he wasn't that old to need her company. How would he enjoy twilight romances when he was traveling with her? Leena giggled at this thought. That was his show-off reason but she doubted that her dad would want to date someone else. He was too in love with her mother to do that.

"Don't worry. Your dad is strong. He will have a good time even without our company." Kevin turned Leena to face him. He knew that Leena was just making excuses. She was depressed not because she missed her father but because Claire humiliated her. It was sad that he couldn't do anything about it. He was torn between his sister and the woman he loved. He didn't want to upset either of them. Otherwise, he would only add fuel to the fire. He had to adopt a wait-and-see attitude before the situation escalated to something more serious. He could only hope for Leena to win his sister's heart using her deadly charm.
