It'll Come Naturally

Louisa's eyes rested on Richard. The young man and Kevin were so much alike!

"Oh, this is my son. Richard, say hello to Aunt Louisa," Leena said gently. If it was fate that they met again, she didn't want to dwell on the old unpleasant things that happened between them in the past. "Hello, Aunt Louisa!" Richard said politely, but frowned at this woman whom he didn't know.

"Oh! Hi! You resemble your father so much!" Louisa sighed sadly. She thought that she had forgotten Kevin. But when faced with anything connected to him, the blurred memories deep inside her suddenly became clear and brought fresh pain. "Does Aunt Louisa know my father?" Richard looked at her doubtfully. He felt that the way she looked at him was a little strange and discomforting.

"Miss Ye, is this your daughter?"

Upon hearing Richard's question, Leena immediately steered the conversation away from the topic. She feared that Louisa would say something that should stay in their past.

"Oh! Yes. Connie, say hello to Aunt Leena and Richard," Louisa ordered harshly, as she suddenly remembered her daughter next to her. She didn't seem like a kind mother.

"Hi, Aunt Leena! Hi, Richard! Nice to meet you!" The girl greeted timidly, with lowered eyes. Then she shuffled back a few steps to stand behind her mother.

"Hi, nice to meet you too. What a nice girl!" Leena smiled gracefully. She noticed that the girl didn't take much after her mother, probably she inherited her appearance more from her father.

She absently wondered what kind of man Louisa had married.

"You haven't changed much."

Louisa felt a little upset. It seemed that Leena had been well cared for, and she still looked very young, just like a girl. Looking at herself, Louisa considered that she was getting old and had already lost her youthful looks.

"You're flattering me. I'm already the mother of a teenage boy. I'm becoming old." Leena laughed lightly. It was the truth, but Louisa didn't think so. She felt that there was an ulterior motive behind her words, and that Leena had said this intentionally to insult her. "Leena, I don't need you to remind me that I am lowly compared to you. So, if you just want to make fun of me, go ahead!"

Louisa was several years older than Leena, and clearly she had endured a hard life. Truthfully, it was normal for her appearance to be older than Leena's.

"I didn't mean that. Miss Ye, I think you misunderstood me."

Leena furrowed her eyebrows. 'Does Louisa still hold a grudge against me?' She wondered.

"You are clear, whether I have mistaken your words or not. Connie, let's go!"

Louisa glared at Leena indignantly, and then hurriedly pushed the shopping cart down the aisle.

The teenage girl turned to them with an embarrassed smile just before the pair disappeared down the next lane.

She seemed very sorry for the altercation. Although Louisa was not a nice woman, her daughter seemed well educated and had an agreeable manner.

"Mom, who is she? She was so strange and very rude. And why were you so polite to her?" Richard asked angrily. The incident with this strange, and obviously crazy woman had ruined their good mood in shopping. What an unlucky day this was becoming! "It doesn't matter. She is probably in a bad mood today." Leena shrugged. She didn't want to tell her son the old resentful stories of her foregone youth.

"Yes, you're right. She must have had a row with her husband, just like y - "Richard flinched as the words slipped out, but before he could finish, a heavy blow clouted his head.

"Who told you that I had a row with your father? I am just angry at him. That is not a row!"

Leena rubbed her hand, angry at him for comparing her to her former love rival, and angry at herself for hitting her son in public.

Her retort was quick and vicious, lacking even a moment of hesitation.

"Is there any difference? All in all, you have conflicts."

Richard pursed his lips, feeling that his mother was reluctant to face the fact.

"Of course, it's different. A row is an argument between two people. I said that I was angry, that's only about me. Okay, let's drop it. You are still a child and won't understand anyway," Leena said angrily.Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

Flustered, she took down products from the shelf randomly and without checking, throwing them into the shopping cart.

"You are so stubborn. I'll see how long you can stick to your views."

Richard put the things that she had just put into the shopping cart back on the shelf. He silently shook his head.

They really didn't need these random things.

"Richard, you came home today to piss me off intentionally, right?"

Leena was already down in the dumps today. And it was such bad luck for her to be confronted by Louisa in the supermarket. Worse, she was being mocked by her own son. Overwhelmed by all this, Leena felt heartbroken. Tears began to well up in her eyes.

"No, that's absurd. I'm completely on your side. Mommy, please don't cry, otherwise people around us will think that I hurt you."

Richard nervously looked around, fearing that his mother would start crying and cause a scene.

"Yes, that's your plan. You just wanted to hurt me and now you made me sad."

Leena was about to cry, but when she saw his anxious expression, she pulled herself together and regained some composure. She was actually quite amused by his nervous reaction.

"He who has a mind to beat his dog will easily find his stick.' Fine, I admit I was wrong. Are you satisfied now?"

Richard sighed. It was just a bad day for him. He had no choice but to accept his mother's partisan reprimand. His mother was the princess in all his uncles' eyes.

He had to acquiesce to his mother's behavior, or face a broken leg for offending his uncles by acting against her. Despite his mother being in the wrong, he would have to yield.

"Yes, that's my good boy! Let's go! Let's go to check out. I'm hungry now."

Leena behaved like a little girl when she was with her son, but it didn't mean that she had no authority over her son. Her amiable nature made Richard love her all the more, and he respected his mother greatly. "Okay, dearest Mother. Let's go!"

Richard shook his head and sighed. 'Commander Gu, it's all your fault! What exactly did you do that has made her so angry?

You know what? Now she's venting her anger on me - her only son!' Richard complained in his heart.
