It'll Come Naturally
Chapter 1091 I Still Have A Chance (Part Two)

"We're fine as long as we leave your brother alone and unprovoked. Claire, am I right?" Louisa tried to convince Claire. She would have no chance to approach the man she loved if Claire would not help her.

"Alright. I'll wait for you at home tonight." Claire gave in and eventually felt more cheerful despite everything. She finally got fed up with how Louisa was pestering her. Thus, she had to grant Louisa's request regardless of Leena's possible protests and grudges. "Thanks, I'll come to you before Kevin gets back home." Louisa was ecstatic. Claire's change of mind made her think that she was one more step closer to becoming Kevin's wife.

"Ok. See you later. Bye," said Claire before she hung up the phone. She was in low spirit the whole night and it was only now that she felt relieved. In general, she didn't forget her promise to Louisa that she would do everything to make her brother love her and eventually, marry her.

Leena's face darkened as she heard what Claire said over the phone. She didn't intend to eavesdrop, it was just that Claire didn't even attempt to hide the conversation from her. She might not have heard what Louisa said to convince Claire on inviting her home. But Leena was smart and could guess.

"I have invited Louisa to come to our house tonight. I don't think you'll refuse her and embarrass me," said Claire defiantly as she turned to Leena. She might sound that she was asking Leena for permission but the truth was that she wasn't. She doubted it if Leena could turn such a small request down from her husband's sister.

"You already promised Louisa, Claire. Will my opinion even matter?" Leena sneered. Her heart was silently aching with the fact that she was such a loser when it came to getting along with her sister-in-law. She had already tried her best but still failed completely. On the contrary, Louisa could become one of Claire's best friends with just a snap of a finger.

"I'm asked to consider your opinions. Haven't my brother told you that? He certainly will be mad at me if you make a complaint to him," Claire sniffed. She wouldn't even care about how Leena felt if Kevin didn't warn her about it.

"I know. Now get off the car. Here we are!" Leena grasped the steering wheel firmly and refrained herself from bursting out crying. It was her husband's house, and she was also its owner and hostess. Shouldn't a hostess' permission be asked first before Claire invited anybody to the house as a guest? Claire had completely ignored her opinions.

"Now, look at the hurt expression on your face. Rain would definitely think that I hurt you if we enter the restaurant and meet him there. I can't be accused by him again. Do you know that?" Claire said with a sulking tone. She took the opportunity to warn Leena before they got off the car and came inside the restaurant. She seemed to really care about what Rain would think of her.

"Set your mind at rest! I'm not as mean as you thought," said Leena as she pushed the car door open. Although she had managed to refrain herself from crying, she wasn't able to stop herself from slamming the car door on Claire's face.

Claire was taken aback by Leena's outburst, but then she saw that Rain was waiting outside their car. He was smiling widely at Leena. Thus, she was left with no choice but to swallow her anger and not pick a fight.

"I thought you got lost, Leena. You're much slower than me," said Rain teasingly. He had deliberately slowed down his driving so Leena could catch up with him. It was when they drove through a crossroad that Leena lost track of his car anyway.

"I still can't drive a car as well as you do. So, I have to drive slowly and carefully." The lady scratched her head in an attempt to hide her embarrassment. It was shameful how slow and clumsy she could get. It was then that she walked to Rain briskly as she totally forgot about what happened inside her car just moments ago.

"Yeah! You did the right thing. Your safety is our first priority after all. Miss Gu, come on inside!" There wasn't any warmth with the way Rain dealt with Claire although he was polite. As a brother who loved Leena so much, he had already considered Claire as someone distasteful.

Claire pursed her lips as she was left behind by Leena and Rain who were walking hand in hand. She obviously didn't believe that their relationship was pure. Their closeness was just too intimate, conspicuous, and abnormal to be considered as just friendship. "Miss Gu, read the menu carefully. Just tell me what you want to eat and drink. It's on me," said Rain in a gentlemanly manner as soon as they were seated. Then, Rain brought the menu to Claire as if she was the most esteemed guest, who should be ordering for them. "Rain, you're so nice to me. Since you are a friend of my sister-in-law, you can also call me Claire." Claire whispered shyly. She bowed her head and didn't dare to look Rain in the eye.

"Miss Gu, we just met a while ago. So, being polite and nice to you is a necessity. And I don't think I could get acquainted with someone who treats my princess badly," said Rain bitterly. As angry as he was deep down inside him, Rain still smiled broadly at Claire. It made him look both scary and annoying that Claire suddenly started to be curious about why Rain adopted such a complicated attitude towards her.

"Well, Speaking of which, I'm really sorry. I should have behaved myself to avoid some misunderstandings," Claire replied. She gritted her teeth and thought that she had just made a fool of herself in front of Rain. She then threw a furious and suspicious glare at Leena. "Claire, you don't want to bother yourself arguing with the likes of him. He was living abroad for such a long time and I bet he has already forgotten how to speak his mother tongue properly." Although Leena harbored secret grudges against Claire, she was afraid that Claire might stamp her foot, lose her temper, and yell at Rain. She couldn't allow her to make such a fuss in the restaurant once she felt insulted by Rain's big mouth. She should definitely replace a way out.00000
