It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 997

"Nobody? Really? So you're not talking about me?" Kevin sat down hesitantly. Now he was onto something. So they were talking about him just now!

"We're not talking about you! What? Do you have a persecution complex or something?" Leena pinched Kevin's hand slightly under the table to get him to change the subject. It was an awkward topic for both of them.

"I get it. I won't keep asking anymore. Let's eat! After that, I'll show you around so you can see what this city has to offer. It's really beautiful this time of year." Kevin had planned to take her out even if his mother hadn't made the suggestion. He wasn't around her much after their marriage because he was either in the office or gone for training. Now they had the time. He was on vacation, and of course wanted to spend more time with her to develop a deeper bond. And there was nothing like a little sightseeing to do just that.

"Pfftt! Mr. Good Husband will do whatever his wife says," Claire sneered. The more Kevin acted tenderly with his wife, the more uncomfortable Claire became. She was the real princess in this family, not Leena! But now there was nobody else in her brother's eyes except Leena.

"Claire, focus on your breakfast, please. Why are you always so rude?" Shannon shot a stare at Claire. How impolite she was! Kevin and Leena were a couple and they were close to each other. But why did Claire always try to get in between them?

"I get it, Mom. I was just talking out of my butt. I didn't mean it. You're being unfair. You constantly get on to me for every little thing. Why don't you concentrate on Kevin? He hasn't been home long. Enjoy it!" Claire pursed her lips unhappily. She felt that her mother was constantly harping on her, all because of Leena. That was not fair.

"I don't need to worry about Kevin. He does well enough on his own. And he's polite. But you? You don't listen to me at all no matter how many times I tell you." Shannon felt like giving up on her daughter. It seemed like all of this was in vain if there was only one person trying to teach Claire manners while her father defended her.

"Anyway, you're constantly on my back. Why are you always bitching at me?" Claire shouted. She stared straight at Leena as she said this. Yes, this woman was the reason why she was unpopular in this family all of a sudden. Claire wished desperately that Leena would just disappear.

"If you behaved yourself, there wouldn't be any reason for me to get onto you." Shannon cast a sidelong look at Claire. She did not want to scold Claire either. It was just that what Claire did and said were really impolite and offensive in her eyes. Shannon was really unhappy with the way her daughter acted.

"Mom, no one's perfect, okay? That includes me," Claire lowered her head and murmured. Obviously, her voice was not as loud as it was before. She did not want to be harangued by her mother again.

"This is a wonderful meal, Leena. Did you make all the dishes?" Shannon could tell right from wrong. If someone acted nicely, she would be lavish with her praise. If someone acted poorly, she would jump on them and tell them how wrong they were. She did what any rational person would do.

"Yes! I'm glad you like them. I was afraid they wouldn't taste very good." Leena smiled shyly and took a look at Nathan anxiously to check whether he showed any dissatisfaction. She did not want to leave a bad impression on him.
