It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 995

"Oh? Leena can cook too?" It was obvious Shannon was taken aback by this. She understood that Leena was from a rich family. Nathan had told her that. But rich girls had everything done for them, so how did she learn to cook? Shannon was impressed that she didn't act spoiled at all. In fact, she was polite, humble, and sweet. On the other hand, Claire, who was also from a wealthy family, behaved totally differently. In comparison, Shannon liked Leena even more.

"I'm sorry, mom. I'm not a good cook and I've turned the kitchen into a mess." Leena tried to give a smile, but for the first time she found it hard. Her conversation with Kevin was still fresh in her mind. She felt like a big rock was pressing down on her chest.

"It's good enough. Claire can't even cook half as well as you." Most parents thought their kids were the best, no matter what. However, in Shannon's eyes, her daughter-in-law was much better than her kids. Leena could have acted like a princess, but she didn't. Shannon felt lucky to have her as a daughter-in-law, because she was convinced that Leena could do better.

"Mom! Seriously?" Claire shouted angrily. Not only did her mom trash talk her, but she did it in front of Leena. She believed that Leena must have told something to her mom. Hence, her resentment towards Leena grew deeper. She'd teach that little bitch a good lesson!

"What? It's the truth. You should try what she's cooked up here. It's really good. I'll reckon with you later about something else." Shannon looked at Claire, full of disappointment. She didn't understand why Claire and Leena were so different. On the surface, they were both young, beautiful and from rich familes, but on the inside, Leena was much better cultivated than Claire. Maybe it was her fault how she was raised. Leena's family obviously did a better job bringing her up.

"Humph! Somebody must have said something about me when I wasn't around." Claire cast a contemptuous glance at Leena. She thought Leena must have talked about her behind her back to her mom. That was enough for her to start holding a huge grudge against her.

"Don't be silly. Nobody said anything about you. Learn from Leena. Be polite and humble." As a mother, Shannon didn't want to scold Claire in front of others, but she was too angry about what she said. She was being very rude.

"Mom, I'm your daughter. How could you talk about me to an outsider like that?" Claire stomped her feet in anger. She rolled her eyes at Leena resentfully, thinking that she had started it and that she turned her mom against her.

"I wouldn't have said anything if you had acted like a grown-up. Now leave the kitchen. Stay out of the way." Shannon treated her daughter-in-law and daughter equally. She wouldn't be biased in favor of her daughter.

"No problem. I don't want to be here anyway!" Claire glared at Leena and turned on her heel. Ever since Kevin's wife got here, Claire did everything wrong. Her mom wouldn't stop harping on her. This had never happened before. It must be because of Leena. She would get back at her if it was the last thing she did.

"Mom, maybe you were a little harsh. I think Claire's feeling a little upset," Leena said hesitantly, a little worried. She didn't mind Claire's hostility. She just bore it with grace. She felt better knowing her mom-in-law didn't hate her, at least.
