It'll Come Naturally -
Chapter 912 An Cartier Watch (Part Three)
"I just remember it tonight. They also said that I must bring you with me. Are you free next week? We may need a few days. Can you arrange some free time for it?" asked Kevin. Although Leena did not need to go to work, it did not mean she had no other things to do.
Thus it was necessary for her to know things like this in advance.
"Well! Don't worry about me, I'll be free at any time. How about you though? Can you get that much vacation?" Leena tilted her head as she looked at him. She was still uneasy. This would be the first time for her to meet Kevin's family and she did not know if she and his family would get along.
"That's OK. I haven't taken my vacation this year. I'll just tell the Commander. It will be okay. There aren't any big holidays these days so we're not really that busy," answered Kevin. He took the towel from her hand and helped her dry her hair. She was still busy drying herself but was only keeping drying one part of her hair. There were still some beads of water on her skin that were seductively rolling down her beautiful body.
"Well, what is your father like?" Leena suddenly grew a little shy with his actions. Although his movements were not so gentle, she couldn't help but feel moved with what he did.
"Leena, is he just my father? He is also your father now, isn't he? Just remember this, okay?, Don't do anything that he can hold against you. You would not want to anger him." Kevin tapped Leena's head lightly. Did she just forget that they were married? "Okay! I will keep that in mind next time. I am sorry! I forgot." Leena naughtily stuck out her tongue at him. She felt a little sorry about what she just said. He was right, they were married, thus his father was hers as well. She was aware of it. It was just that she tended to be forgetful sometimes.
"Oh come on. Don't just say it. You need to call him Dad next week or I won't be able to save you." Kevin's warning was accurate. His father was known for being overly strict. He still couldn't understand how the old man turned soft when he was with Claire. He wasn't even sure if the two were living-proofs of the saying, 'Daughter was the lover of her father in the previous life'. Claire had always been treated differently while he was brought up by him in strict methods.
"Well, don't you believe I can do it? Don't forget that I'm Leena Leng and there isn't anything I can't do." The woman raised her eyebrows smugly as her brain began to reel solutions to the case they were both facing.
"My father is not the most difficult person to deal with in the family, Leena. The most troublesome would be my unruly sister. You should think of ways on how to make her like you. She would give us a lot of troubles if she doesn't." Kevin looked at Leena's eyes. He could sense that she was troubled as she pondered on ways to please his father. Nevertheless, he still found it necessary to let her know about his sister even before Claire gave them problems. All her efforts to please his Dad would be in vain if she would not get his sister's buy-in.
"Ah! So you have a younger sister! How come you've never brought her up before?" Leena was suddenly depressed. She did not worry so much about his father. But then, wasn't there someone who once said that it was extremely hard to get along with the mother-in-law? How much worse would it be with a younger sister? She felt the contradiction between his and her family raised several levels. She wasn't sure anymore if she could still handle the situation. What if she couldn't? What else could she do?
"You never asked me before. I forgot to mention it too. Don't worry. I will be there with you." Kevin jokingly pinched her cheek. He should not have said those things too seriously, now she was scared.
"But you can't always just follow me! And haven't you heard? Majority of family conflicts were either caused by one's bad relationship with the mother-in-law or with the sister-in-law? How could I not worry?" Leena knew well that not every mother-in-law was as good as Edward's mother. Besides, Kevin's family was a political family. It would be inevitable for them to have conflicts with her. Plus, she had always been careless. She couldn't tell if she would unintentionally make mistakes when they were there.
"The people in my family are very easy to get along with. It is just Claire that is a little unmanageable. You don't have to worry too much." Kevin patted her shoulder to comfort her. He understood that she was still young. Thus, she would panic. He would help her put her mind at ease for the next few days. He could always introduce everyone in his family to her little by little. That way, she wouldn't be too cautious.
"Claire? Is your sister's name Claire? She must be a very gentle girl given that name. Why do you say she's unruly?" Her mood went from bad to terrible. She had never heard that Kevin named or mentioned any about his family before. It was the reason why she didn't ask about it. The thought that she suddenly needed to meet them put her in a passive state.
"Yes. Her name is Claire Gu. She is a little older than you. But she is not as sensible as you. So if she does something wrong in the future, could you excuse her small mistakes, please? After all, you are her sister-in-law, aren't you?" Kevin also didn't want to give Leena too much pressure. It was just that he knew that she would be insisting for that information anyway. His strategy was to emphasize how much more sensible she was over her sister, thus she would regard herself as someone older than Claire.
"What are you implying? That I am her sister-in-law, and she should be afraid of me?" The thought worked on Leena. Seconds more and she was able to smile with confidence again.
"Leena, it is not as terrible as you think. Yes, it may be hard to get along with Claire. But she is not a bad girl. Relax! Don't be too nervous," he comforted her more. It was only after he observed Leena back to herself that Kevin shook his head and smiled. He just wanted her to know these things in advance. He didn't expect her to panic though. He would be more careful next time. He wouldn't want his actions to be counterproductive.0000☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
