It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 993

"Haha! Don't be a silly. I don't have time to stare at you." Unexpectedly, Claire felt a bit flustered when she looked at Leena and saw the sadness on her face. Had she been too mean with her brother's wife? She shrugged her shoulder after some seconds. Who cared if she made her sad? Leena's feelings were out of her concern. The only thing this woman did was to mess their family. Nobody should be blamed for her sadness but herself. If Leena hadn't married Kevin for money, she wouldn't have teased and mocked her.

It was only after Claire left the kitchen that Leena burst into tears. She was young and she couldn't help being emotional about what just happened. She was seriously misunderstood and wronged! Never had she felt anything worse than this before.

She sniffed miserably and blew her nose. Instead of preparing the simple western-style breakfast, she cooked some millet gruel and pancakes which she had only learnt how to cook from some TV food program. It was said that citizens from the capital city loved this kind of breakfast. She hoped that Kevin's parents and sister would like it.

It took her some while and some wasted materials just to make a decent piece of pancake. It wasn't a surprise since she was never used to making one on the first place. She looked around and saw the mess in the kitchen. A sudden fear attacked her with the thought that her mother-in-law might come home soon, find the messy kitchen, and then blame her for doing nasty housework.

"Leena, what're you doing here?" asked Kevin. He was wearing a sports suit and there were beads of sweat on his forehead. It was obvious that he just finished his morning exercise.

"Well, I am triying to cook some pancakes. It turns out to be a difficult job," answered Leena. She was startled when Kevin suddenly appeared in the kitchen. It even took her some seconds to recover from her shock. However, she was genuinely happy to see him after her confrontation with Claire. She smiled, looking like a mess herself, with smear of white flour on her face.

"Who told you to do this in the kitchen?" asked Kevin confusedly. He reached out to her and carefully tucked some of her stray hairs behind her ear. His face suddenly turned serious upon seeing Leena's red eyes.

"Nobody. I found that Maud went out shopping for Dad's birthday. Thus, I came here to prepare a decent breakfast. Isn't it normal and usual for a daughter-in-law to do this?" answered Leena. She didn't want to complain about what Claire did to her. A conflict between her husband and her sister-in-law would not do her any good. Plus, doing so would just make Claire despise her more and complicate things.
