It'll Come Naturally -
Chapter 1059 Could You Place The Ring On My Finger (Part Three)
"Okay." His stare was full of concern. She might appear not to care but Kevin knew better. He might not be as generous as her if he was the one in her shoes. Who would like their partner to have somebody else in his mind given that they were just standing side by side? "It looks like it's gonna rain. Let's go home." Shannon looked up the sky and frowned as soon as they gave her the tea. They didn't bring umbrellas with them, therefore, it would be better for them to go home as soon as possible.
"Oh, no! Do we have to go home so soon? I haven't bought anything yet." That was an automatic complaint from Claire. She couldn't just come here without doing anything, right? She had no plan of going home this soon and was very unhappy. She was already upset when Shannon proposed to buy tea. Now, she felt more disappointed when her mother already bought it and then quickly suggested going back home. That was completely unacceptable. She felt like she and Louisa were just decorations the whole time. They didn't even get to do anything from the start to the end.
"Didn't I tell you before? You can hang around yourselves. The main reason why I came out today is to fetch the rings. I bring Leena and Kevin with me to see if the rings fit. It was you who insisted on following us. I didn't force you to do so." Shannon annoyedly explained. It was not a good time to hang out. It was going to rain. Moreover, it was about dinner time. It might be alright for the younger people to hang out but not for her. She was a housewife and had a lot of things to do. Maud was at home, but Shannon got used to preparing meals for her family by herself. It was the only way she rewarded herself and got her utmost happiness.
"I didn't know you were coming out to get the rings. Why didn't you tell me beforehand? If I had known this, I would not have come out with you." Claire said while cocking her head. She wanted to look beautiful thus she chose to wear something short and sexy. Such a bad choice! Now she was shivering due to the cold wind.
"You came with us on your own. Why are you blaming me?" Shannon would never admit that she had another purpose to let them follow. She agreed to let them come along because she wanted to indirectly tell Louisa that she only had Leena in her mind the whole time. She was her one and only daughter-in-law. She hoped to slap Louisa with that truth and make her give up on Kevin. It was a pain though that Louisa didn't seem to understand her message. Her effort was just wasted.
"Let's go! It's going to rain. If you really want to go shopping, you can just do it some other day." Kevin took his coat off and covered it on his sister. He couldn't understand why women these days liked to wear skirts in such cold weather despite the fact that they were shivering.
"Thank you, Kevin. But won't you feel cold yourself?" Claire said with a trembling voice. Only then did she realize that it was wise for Leena to wear something casual. At least, it kept her warm.
"I'm okay." Kevin glanced at Louisa who was also wearing something short. How could these women want to stay cool even if it was already cold? Unfortunately, he only had one coat and he could only give it to his sister. They were going back home anyway, thus, he just turned and ignored her.
"Okay, let's go now. I'm sure that it is going to rain. I can feel it. It is quickly getting cold." Shannon said as she looked up at the sky. A gust of wind came. Feeling something was blown into her eyes, she immediately closed her eyes.
"Leena, are you cold?" Kevin embraced her into his arms. She was wearing thicker clothes than the others and it made him think that she easily felt cold.
"I think you're the one who's cold now." Leena smiled and enjoyed the comfort of his arms. She had sensed that Kevin wanted warmth himself with her. How could she refuse him and push him away?
"You got it! Would you mind keeping me warm?" The man was only wearing a shirt after he gave his coat to Claire. It was impossible for him not to feel cold.
"Hurry up! Don't get cold." Concern was dripping from Shannon's words as she shot Claire with a hard stare. It was all because she chose to be beautiful rather than comfortable that everyone was getting troubled.
Claire looked back at her mother and grumpily pouted. She was happy deep inside but she wouldn't dare show it. This was the very first time that Kevin showed his care to her and his simple gesture had touched her heart.
The rain poured down heavily even before they reached home. It was lucky that they were already in the car when it happened or else they would all look like drenched rats. It was to everybody's surprise that Nathan was already home when they came home. The aged man frowned upon seeing them enter the house together. His face even went notches darker when he saw Leena. He had never expected that she would run away from home.
"Dad!" Leena screamed her surprise. She was caught off guard. She wasn't even ready to face him at all.
"Hmm," was all Nathan said. He still responded although he was displeased with her yesterday. Shannon had been nagging him to be nice to Leena last night. He wouldn't want to suffer another night like that.
"Why did you come home so early today?" It was Shannon who shot him a warning look. She had reprimanded him to be careful with his words. She knew that he didn't care about offending Leena but she cared. She liked Leena very much.
"I went out to handle some affairs and went home directly after I was finished." Nathan received the signal from Shannon. As much as he wanted to say a lot of things to Leena, his only choice was to shut his mouth and save his words for later.000☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
