It'll Come Naturally

"You want to give me this? Are you sure? Is there any limit?" Claire took the card and turned it around. She looked at it thoroughly, feeling that there would not be much money credited to it. Otherwise, how could Leena be so generous?

"Um, this is for you. No limits. You do not have any income right now, right? So, you can use this card if you want to buy something. Don't worry. There is sufficient money in it that you can use for a while." Leena smiled. She was not exaggerating when she mentioned 'sufficient money'. Every card of hers had a minimum amount of millions of dollars. She didn't worry that it would not be enough for Claire, unless she bought large assets, such as a villa in S City.

"But if you give Kevin's card to me, won't he be angry once he gets to know that? I can use this card to buy anything I need, right? Won't he think I'm wasting his money?" Claire hesitated a little. Although she liked buying beautiful clothes, she dared not fritter away her elder brother's hard-earned money. After all, she grew up in the Army Base when she was young. She knew very clearly how hard being a soldier was and how much sweat and blood went into the daily training sessions and missions. How couldn't she be sympathetic to his hardships?

"Don't worry about it. This card is my personal card. Your brother won't know that I give it to you," Leena said, suddenly realizing that Kevin had given all his property to her, although she never used it. Should she also reveal more about her assets to him, keeping her property transparent as well?

"Oh, really? In that case, I am fine with this. Thanks." Since it was Leena's card, Claire didn't think that there would be much money in it. A person who didn't work all day couldn't have a high income. Realizing this, Claire felt much more relaxed than the time when Leena had first handed the card to her. Since there was not so much money in the card, she did not need to think too much about it. She just accepted it.

"Ah. Welcome. We'll go out then. Here is the key to the house. I will send the passwords of the rooms to your phone later, in case you forget them." After this detailed arrangement, Leena handed the car and house keys to Claire. She did not miss anything and had taken everything into consideration.

"Okay, okay. I know. You two have fun. Gerard, goodbye!" Claire said happily. She didn't consider it wrong for Leena to go out with another man. After all, it was not illegal for married women to have male friends.

"Take care of yourself, since you are alone. Give me a call if you face any problems." Leena was a little worried, as Claire was not familiar with S City.

"Don't worry! I'm not a child, you just go. I will remember to lock the door." Claire huffed. She realized that her big brother's verbosity was influenced by Leena. Kevin also liked to tell her again and again, like an old nanny.

Upon hearing Claire's assurance, Leena finally went outside with Gerard. It was not very convenient to talk to him at home. Not to mention that they had been a couple before. Leena felt that it was unfair to Kevin if she spent time with her ex-boyfriend in their new marital home.

"Mignonne, are you not happy that I have come to S city to see you?" Gerard asked out his confusion cautiously as soon as they got inside the car. He could sense the anger that she held in her heart.

"I am happy to see you. But don't talk to me right now when I am driving." Leena put on her sunglasses, the broad frame instantly covering up most of her small face, including her expressions. She looked cool and composed. Gerard moved his lower lip and hesitated to say anything more. He did not dare irritate Leena. She was friendly and nice most of the time, but once someone provoked her, her anger would hit the roof.

Leena glanced at him coldly and saw that he had finally shut up. The corners of her mouth rose up in satisfaction. She started the car and drove off. A sly look lingered in her eyes, but it was covered up by her oversized sunglasses. However, she didn't realize that Kevin would try to contact her. As soon as Leena left the house, Claire's phone rang. It was from Kevin. He couldn't get through to Leena's cellphone, so he had to call up Claire instead.

"Brother, why are you calling me at this time? Is it urgent?" Claire answered the phone while carefully drawing her eyebrows. She was going out with Louisa tonight and was getting ready.

"Nothing. I just could not get through to Leena's phone. I am worried about her. How is she? Is she at the apartment? Are you with her?" Kevin's eyes lingered on the documents on his table even as he talked on the phone. He needed to leave home again for a while. Kevin never felt that it was a problem before he got married to Leena. Realizing this once again, he sighed unwittingly.

"Oh, don't worry about that. Leena just went out with her friend. You can try to call her again? She probably shut down her phone because of low battery. But it's probably switched on right now. She just said that she'd text me the passwords of the rooms," Claire said, her hand pausing mid-air. She wondered if she had guessed wrong. Leena's phone was probably turned off while she was charging it. But now she had left. It was impossible that she was still charging her phone.

"Oh. That could be. I will call her again later. I'm hanging up. Bye." Kevin was not a suspicious man, nor was he autocratic. Upon hearing that Leena went out with a friend, he never thought of asking whom Leena went out with. Male or female? He didn't stop to think about it.

"Okay, Kevin. I am going out too. Only call me if there is anything urgent. Goodbye!" Claire was in a hurry to dress up and go out, so she didn't want to spend any more time talking to Kevin. She hung up immediately without waiting for his response.
