"Claire, what are you talking about? No wonder what? Don't be so rude." A resigned sigh came from Shannon. Why couldn't Claire be a bit polite? It was too late to teach her manners now even if she wanted to. They had already completely spoiled her and she would not even listen nor accept other's warning anymore.
"Well, I didn't mean anything! Don't ask me anything more, Mom. Please! Just keep on talking with my sister-in-law!" Claire dared not act too offensively in front of her mother, thus, she called Leena her sister-in-law instead of a single word of 'she'. She did not want to hear her mother keep informing her over and over again to be polite or that kind.
"Don't be so talkative and stop interrupting me when I'm talking to Leena." Another sigh came out of Shannon to express her frustration. What could she do to make her daughter be the same with Leena? It worried her that Claire might find it difficult to find a date and moreover, get married. She was too willful and no one would like to marry such a girl.
"It's alright, Mom. You can ask me anything you want to know. I'll tell you everything as long as I know." A sweet smile appeared on Leena's face and it made her eyes cutely chinky. What an adorable sweet girl!
"I see, Leena. Then I'll just ask straightly. You look quite young!" Shannon stopped being polite and asked Leena. She really wanted to know more about her and her family. She liked her.
"Yeah! I'm 22 years old. A bit young." That question embarrassed Leena a bit but nonetheless, she remained smiling. Although she was legally allowed to get married at this age, it was still too early since nowadays females did not get married at such a young age.
"Oh, I see. Then you are younger than Claire," Shannon said to Leena and then turned to Claire. " Claire, you see? Leena is even younger than you but she is politer. You can stay w
Drugged one night by her ex-boyfriend, a mysterious man took advantage of her in an ecstatic night filled with sex.
To take her revenge, she married the man, and used him.
"As long as I'm alive, I'm still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses."
She remained adamant even when he was involved in scandals with other women.
Eventually she stormed off after she learned that he had betrayed her again.But life brought her back to him a few years later, to his astonishment.
k her that question too abruptly.
"Oh, they? They run businesses." Leena did not tell her that they were the presidents of their companies. She chose to make a very simple introduction because she was afraid that they might consider her as a show-off. She did not want to make a fuss about that. Being low-key and humble was still the best.
"What? Run businesses? Come on, stop it, please! Why don't you just admit it that they work for companies. Please get to the point and don't beat around the bush." Well, yes, Claire grasped a chance to tease Leena again. In her eyes, Leena was nothing but a vain woman.
"Ur! Well, yes, if that's what you think," admitted Leena. She reached out her hand to touch her nose. In one way or another, Duke and Belinda worked for companies indeed. It was just that the two were actually the bosses. Claire was technically right.
"Claire, you might as well go back to your room if you cannot stop being impolite." Now Shannon was really angry. Claire's sarcasm was too much and it kept making the conversation even more awkward than how it already was.
"Come on! I'm just telling the truth. Why do you refuse to hear the truth?" whispered Claire unhappily. Somehow she was quite uncomfortable with Leena.
