It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 996

"You have spoiled her too much. You always have, and you're still doing it! Look at her. She's too stubborn. She's not nice, she's not polite." Shannon sighed and shook her head helplessly. Her husband was the most responsible for spoiling Claire. As a result, she became willful and arrogant. He always forgave her for whatever she said and did.

"From where I'm standing, Claire is a good girl, and makes no mistake. She is a girl, so she is stubborn. As long as she doesn't go too far, it's fine by me." Nathan coughed a bit. Claire was always well-behaved around him. She was usually polite, but meanwhile, she was headstrong. Anyway, she was still young and she would learn better manners as time went by. She was his beloved daughter and she could do no wrong.

"Skip it. I can't expect you to see how she really is. You're a leader of men, you have soldiers at your beck and call. But why can't you see that your own daughter is haughty and rude? Honestly! I don't understand you," said Shannon unhappily and rolled her eyes at Nathan. Claire was this way because he always took her side and defended her no matter whether she was right or wrong. So even when Shannon tried to teach Claire how to behave, Claire would always run to Nathan and ask for protection. That way, Shannon had no way to deal with her.

"Yes, I'm a leader. But a leader is just an ordinary father at home." Nathan rarely refuted Shannon. He always listened to her, even if he didn't always agree. He just remained silent, and held his tongue. But this time, he fought back. He did it deliberately because Leena was here. He wouldn't have his authority questioned in front of his daughter-in-law. That just wasn't cool. Although he complained that he was just a father at home, he still wanted to be thought of as a leader.

"Oh, yeah, I see! Some father, letting her grow up like that!" Shannon was really upset and annoyed when she heard what he said. She was angry, not because what he replied, but because of his attitude towards Claire.

"Stop it, please. Mom, can't you just drop it? It's Dad's birthday today. Did you forget that?" Claire spoke up to try to calm things down. She was the one they were fighting over. Although she was snobby and stubborn, she still loved her parents a lot. There was no fighting over that.

"Huh! I'll stop it for now. But this is not over. Not by a country mile." Shannon also realized that this was not the time. There would be other, better opportunities to discuss this with Nathan. She decided to let go of it for a while. If Claire hadn't said something, she'd still be at it.

Leena could not feel more awkward in that situation. She didn't think she should get involved in their conversation. Yet it made her look so stupid standing there, doing nothing. She had no idea what to do but look back and forth at Shannon and Nathan as they spoke. It was like she was watching some bizarre game of tennis, following an imaginary ball as it shuttled to and fro.
