Journey to Happy Ending novel Chapter 988

"Mom, don't be mad at Claire. She is right. It's true that my brother and his wife work for companies." Leena said as a realization hit her. Gradually, she became hypocritical. She pretended to be calm despite being irritated by Claire's words. Her friendliness was suddenly so fake that it made her feel sick.

"I know you're very kind, Leena. But you may suffer if you're too nice to others," sighed Shannon. In her opinion, there was nothing wrong about being nice to the family, but then people outside of the family would still intend to bully a nice person. Leena might come to grief if she would continue being such.

"Mom, thank you for reminding me. I'll be careful." Leena didn't think that her kindness would make her suffer at all. As a matter of fact, she had never suffered from someone doing her wrong. She was born with a silver spoon in her mouth and everything had been catered to her. Her family loved her dearly, and she had never experienced working hard for even just a day. She had been protected all her life that the word suffering was almost a foreign word.

"Leena, what are you talking about with my mom?" Kevin walked over slowly and whispered to Leena. One of his arms automatically wrapped her waist as he looked at her tenderly and lovingly.

"Nothing important. Just a casual talk. Have you finished talking with your dad?" Leena looked up to Kevin with twinkling eyes. She didn't intend for her expression to be that way but her heart unconsciously made her do so. She was nothing but charming!

"Yeah. If I'm not wrong, my mom must have asked you something about your family." Kevin glanced at his mother as he spoke to Leena. It was only seconds ago when his father had a conversation with him inside the study. Nathan asked him about his work and Leena's family background. Nonetheless, he told Nathan all he knew without any reservations. Nathan had a wide range of contacts. It would be pointless to hide anything from his dad as he would eventually find things out anyway. Thus, he thought that he'd better tell Nathan everything frankly. Moreover, Leena was from a decent family. There was no need to hide anything in connection to his wife. Nathan might not like Leena right now. Kevin had decided he would do everything just to make his father like her.

"Kevin, can't Mom ask these things? Look at you. You're nervous." Claire pouted after saying those words. She couldn't bear the affection that her brother was showing to his wife. She was jealous because Kevin had never treated her in such a way.
