It'll Come Naturally
Chapter 1037 Searching For Leena (Part One)

temper was restrained a bit. He knew it was not a good idea to quarrel with his wife. She'd give as good as she got.

"Oh come off it, woman. When do I do that? I never think of my family as soldiers. Don't just accuse me of stuff -- replace a real reason to criticize me." Despite that Nathan was defending himself, he could not help but lower his voice at the sight of Shannon's stare. His bad "Don't try to change the subject. Tell me everything. What the hell happened at home while I was out?" As the hostess of this family, Shannon absolutely had the right to know everything happened here. She was not afraid of Nathan at all. She knew his temper, and how far to push him. She could get away with a lot since he would never hit her.

"You can take your time and discuss it here! I'm going out to replace Leena," Kevin said and then started to walk outside. However, he failed. He was caught by Shannon immediately after he said that. His mother was agile.

"Wait! What did you say? Leena's not here?" Shannon was surprised. Indeed, she had a strange feeling when she got back in. Now she grew more confused. Why was Leena not home? Wasn't she staying with Kevin?

"No, she's not! Dad scolded her and drove her away. I've been looking for her for about two hours. But I haven't found her and have no clue where she's at all," said Kevin in frustration. He did not try to hide the fact from his mother. He knew clearly that his mom would be of great help if he wanted to get out of here now. Only his mother could deal with his father in these kinds of situations.

"What? Do you mean Leena is missing? Have you sent someone to replace her? It's her first time in the capital city. She is not familiar with the place at all. Hopefully, nothing bad's happened to her," Shannon said worriedly. She was anxious so much that she only heard part of Kevin's words, ignoring the phrase "scolded her and drove her away."

"No, I can't replace her at all. She won't answer no matter how many times I call her. I've already searched the city once but there's no trace at all. I don't know where she'd be." Kevin's brows knitted tightly. He wondered whether he should call Duke and the others to get some clues such as whether they had houses here in the capital city. At the very least, they might have some ideas. With their help it would be much easier for him to locate Leena.

"What happened? Why isn't she here? Did you guys fight?" Shannon asked in anger, glaring at Kevin. This was the only possible reason she could think of as to why Leena took off. She thought Kevin must have made Leena really angry. However, as a matter of fact, there was someone else who was responsible for it. Shannon would never have guessed who it was.

"No, we didn't. Mom. Didn't you hear me? I told you Dad scolded her and drove her away," Kevin felt helpless now. Why did his mother choose to hear parts of his words and ignore the important information at a crucial time? He had to explain it again.

"Oh! I get it. I'm just too worried. My brain's not working too well now. But what on earth did your father do?" Shannon shot a look at shifty-eyed Nathan. Something was off about him. Did he tell Leena that he didn't like her because he didn't want to be closely connected with a business family?

"Mom, give me a break. Are you sure you're trying to fix a problem? I think you're just here to make trouble." Kevin twisted the corners of his mouth heavily. He told her clearly that his father drove Leena away. Why did she just put a deaf ear to it?

"Oh, I get it. I'm really too confused just now. But let's not play the blame game now. The most important thing now is to replace Leena. Nathan, send your men to replace Leena. I don't want her to be hurt." Shannon was also from a political family. She immediately calmed down and started taking charge.

"Nonsense! The army protects the homeland and defends the country. How could you ask me to send my men to deal with a personal issue?" Nathan stared at her with his eyes opening widely. Why were they so anxious? Leena just left the house. It was nothing terrible. She would come back sooner or later.

"Mom, forget it. I'll go and replace her myself!" Kevin knew his father well. He realized he could not expect that his father would be so kind as to send his men out to search for her. It would be in vain. So he half-walked, half-jogged out of the room. Time was important and he did not want to waste it arguing with his father on this.

"So that's your final answer? You won't send your men out to help?" Shannon stared at Nathan and asked him in a warning tone. He had driven Leena away, but she did not blame him for it. Now there was an emergency: Leena was nowhere to be found and she asked him to give her a hand. How could he sit by and refuse to help?

"It's impossible for me to send my men. I'm not to use them in personal matters," Nathan said sternly. He refused her again. His men were soldiers who fought for the country, not for him or his family. He could not send his men to do everything, especially the private things.

"Fine. Now that you won't lend a hand, I won't beg you anymore. I still have my parents. I can ask them to help," Shannon said, gritting her teeth. Why was he so stubborn? He always did things like this and was never flexible. That was why he always offended people and couldn't get along with them. Now, he made her angry and offended her.

"Knock yourself out. I still won't do it. I have my principles," Nathan insisted. He wasn't worried about Leena's safety when all this started. But he was now feeling a bit anxious. 'I can thank my worrywart wife and son for that, ' he thought.

However, he grew angry again when he thought of Leena's unreasonable behavior. He steeled his nerves and was determined not to help.

"Fine! Then you can stay with your principles for the rest of your life! If we can replace Leena, then fine; but if we can't replace her, you're going to face the consequences. That is not a threat, that's a promise!" Shannon warned. She shot an angry glance at him and then walked out. Their daughter-in-law was missing. He could stay in his study but she could not. She had to help to replace Leena.00000000000
