"We're fine as long as we leave your brother alone and unprovoked. Claire, am I right?" Louisa tried to convince Claire. She would have no chance to approach the man she loved if Claire would not help her.

  "Alright. I'll wait for you at home tonight." Claire gave in and eventually felt more cheerful despite everything. She finally got fed up with how Louisa was pestering her. Thus, she had to grant Louisa's request regardless of Leena's possible protests and grudges.

  "Thanks, I'll come to you before Kevin gets back home." Louisa was ecstatic. Claire's change of mind made her think that she was one more step closer to becoming Kevin's wife.

  "Ok. See you later. Bye," said Claire before she hung up the phone. She was in low spirit the whole night and it was only now that she felt relieved. In general, she didn't forget her promise to Louisa that she would do everything to make her brother love her and eventually, marry her.

  Leena's face darkened as she heard what Claire said over the phone. She didn't intend to eavesdrop, it was just that Claire didn't even attempt to hide the conversation from her. She might not have heard what Louisa said to convince Claire on inviting her home. But Leena was smart and could guess.

  "I have invited Louisa to come to our house tonight. I don't think you'll refuse her and embarrass me," said Claire defiantly as she turned to Leena. She might sound that she was asking Leena for permission but the truth was that she wasn't. She doubted it if Leena could turn such a small request down from her husband's sister.

  "You already promised Louisa, Claire. Will my opinion even matter?" Leena sneered. Her heart was silently aching with the fact that she was such a loser when it came to getting along with her sister-in-law. She had already tried her best but still failed com

  "Miss Gu, we just met a while ago. So, being polite and nice to you is a necessity. And I don't think I could get acquainted with someone who treats my princess badly," said Rain bitterly. As angry as he was deep down inside him, Rain still smiled broadly at Claire. It made him look both scary and annoying that Claire suddenly started to be curious about why Rain adopted such a complicated attitude towards her.

  "Well, Speaking of which, I'm really sorry. I should have behaved myself to avoid some misunderstandings," Claire replied. She gritted her teeth and thought that she had just made a fool of herself in front of Rain. She then threw a furious and suspicious glare at Leena.

  "Claire, you don't want to bother yourself arguing with the likes of him. He was living abroad for such a long time and I bet he has already forgotten how to speak his mother tongue properly." Although Leena harbored secret grudges against Claire, she was afraid that Claire might stamp her foot, lose her temper, and yell at Rain. She couldn't allow her to make such a fuss in the restaurant once she felt insulted by Rain's big mouth. She should definitely find a way out.
