It'll Come Naturally -
Chapter 1388 Too Many Coincidences (Part One)
"Miss Leng, what a coincidence!" Dorothy looked surprised. Fate was magical and it made them meet again.
"Hi!" Leena replied with a graceful smile. However, a suspicion secretly crept over her. 'How come there are so many coincidences between us recently? Isn't it too strange?' she wondered.
"Leena, is she your friend?" Looking at Dorothy, Shannon asked curiously. If they were friends, then how come they were so polite with each other? They even seemed estranged.
"Hi, Madame. My name is Dorothy Lu. Miss Leng and I met each other on the plane," Dorothy greeted before Leena could even reply.
"Oh! You met each other on the airplane! What a coincidence!" said Shannon with a graceful smile. She felt restrained to be too enthusiastic as she sensed that Leena was very indifferent to Dorothy.
"Yes. Are you Miss Leng's mother? You look so young!" Dorothy shifted her attention from Leena and began to grease the wheels with Shannon.
"I'm flattered. I'm already old. By the way, I'm not her mother. To be precise, I'm her mother-in-law," Shannon said with a smug smile. She felt happy to hear the praise. All the more, she felt proud to have a good daughter-in-law like Leena.
"What? She is already married? But isn't she reported to be only about twenty-something?" Dorothy was flabbergasted. The fact that Leena was already married really surprised her.
"Miss Lu, sorry. We have many other things to do and we can't stay here too long. Mom, let's go now." Leena had never been so impolite and left so bluntly. It was just that she had this strange feeling that Dorothy would cause her trouble soon. Thus, she didn't want any connection with Dorothy.
"Oh! Sorry! It slipped my mind that you are carrying a lot of groceries. It's my fault to keep you standing here for too long." Dorothy patted her head and smiled embarrassingly.
"Well then, we will take our leave first, Miss. Bye!" Shannon smiled gently as she spoke. She had displayed her noble manner and good cultivation all the time.
"Goodbye!" A cunning smile showed on Dorothy's face for a while as she watched Leena hurriedly walking away. However, the smile soon disappeared as she left the place and joined the hustle and bustle on the street as if nothing had happened.
On the other hand, Shannon glanced at Leena as soon as they got in the car. She seemed to be thinking of something. She felt odd that Leena was not very friendly to Dorothy. That was not like Leena because Leena had always been very enthusiastic about making friends.
"Leena, are you okay?" asked Shannon with concern as soon as she was seated in the car.
"Nothing. Let's go home," replied Leena with a forced smile. It was clear how absent minded she was.
"You don't like Dorothy, do you?" Shannon couldn't help but ask after a few seconds of hesitation. Dorothy seemed to be a good girl in her eyes. Thus, she wondered why Leena was so cold and indifferent to her.
"Mom, you are thinking too much. We only know each other's name and we are not that close. I don't think I have to be friendly with her. Otherwise, other people may take that I want to get something from her." Leena didn't plan to tell her what had happened before in S City. She just mentioned Dorothy as someone she was not quite familiar with. She didn't want to talk about Dorothy with Shannon. No matter what, she thought that their paths would never cross in the future. Thus, she didn't need to be too bothered to deal with her. "Yes, you're right." Shannon agreed with her. But she was still very doubtful about this. If Leena really didn't want to make friends with Dorothy, why would they exchange their names? Did anything happen between them that Leena didn't want to tell her? She wondered. Leena didn't immediately go upstairs after they got home. Instead, she stayed with Shannon in the kitchen to help her prepare the dinner. Keeping herself busy could help her forget many things that bothered her, for example, her health problem. However, the more she wanted to avoid such a sensitive topic, the more it found its way to her.
"Leena, do you have any good news to share with me?" Shannon asked as she prepared the vegetables. She was very anxious. Old people always hoped to have grandchildren as soon as possible, and Shannon was not an exception to it.
"What good news do you mean?" Confused, Leena asked and turned to her mother-in-law.
"It's about the baby. What else could it be? Leena, haven't you ever thought about this?" Shannon looked problematic when she glanced at Leena. Although she knew that Leena was still very young, she thought that it would be better for Leena's figure to have a baby as early as possible. Thus, Leena wouldn't worry that she would be out of shape after giving birth to a child.
"Oh! Well. I'm just in it." Leena's face immediately flushed. She honestly didn't know how to react in regards to her mother-in-law's question.
"Really? Don't lie to me." Shannon became very excited upon hearing Leena's answer. Knowing that they were not intentionally doing birth control made her feel relieved.
"Yes!" Leena smiled amidst the bitterness that engulfed her heart. Yes, she was in it, but it would be a very long journey before she could get pregnant.
Kevin came home very late that night. He also reeked of alcohol. It was easy to tell that he had drunk a lot. He might have been together with his colleagues after the meeting was finished. It was a pity that he didn't have extra space in his stomach for any food that Leena had specially made for him.
"Why did you drink so much?" Leena frowned and covered her nose with her hand. Kevin was smelly. Seeing her turn her head away, Kevin mischievously blew in her face.
"Stop it! Take off your coat first!" said Leena as she pushed his face aside. Then she helped him to take off his coat.00000000000
