Chapter 1048 Can I Trust You (Part Three)
"I, I, I. What are you trying to say? Don''t just stand around. Go and wash up for lunch," Shannon
shouted at ire, looking past Louisa. Then, she turned around and walked to the kitchen. During this
time, she didn''t spare a word or even a nce at Louisa. She might as well not have even been there.

"I know, I know. I''m wrong every time, and someone else is always right." ire gave Leena a
thoughtful look. Obviously, "someone else" meant Leena.
"Hi, Kevin. You''re back." Louisa finally got the chance to say hello to Kevin. As far as she was
concerned, Kevin was the only person here worth paying attention to. As for Leena, well, she just
ignored her altogether.
"Ummm... Leena, let''s go! Didn''t you say that you wanted to help Mom?" Kevin snorted coldly from his
nose. He made it clear that he did not want to talk to Louisa. Thinking quickly, he urged Leena to go to
the kitchen and went with her. He''d rather help cook than talk with this love-crazed girl.
Leena also looked at Louisa. Just like the others, she said nothing and hastily followed Kevin into the
kitchen. She still bore a grudge, and definitely didn''t feel like smiling at her.
"ire, does you mom not like me? She won''t even really talk to me. And Kevin''s not talking to me
either." Louisa was taken aback by Shannon and Kevin''s behaviors. She was always very proud of
herself and could not bear to be snubbed. Therefore, she felt very lonely and could only ask ire
what was going on.
"Naw, you''re taking things too personally, Louisa. Don''t think too much about it. My mom is like that.
She''s busy right now, and can''t spare a lot of attention for people she doesn''t know. It''s not that she
hates you or anything. Just get used to it. She''ll be friendlier as she gets to know you." ire forced a
smile. She also saw how her mother treated Louisa. But in order tofort her, ire had to tell a lie.
It was a white lie, ire thought to herself.
"Really?" Louisa was not an idiot. Although she pretended to ask ire about this, in her heart, she
was very clear that Shannon ignored her deliberately just now. So, how was she supposed to take
that?
"Yeah. Don''t think too much about it. My dad likes you, doesn''t he? That''s enough," ire said, patting
Louisa on her shoulder tofort her. She did not think that her mother''s attitude was important. After
all, in her heart, the person who called the shots in this family was her father. Other people could only
obey his orders. Hence, as long as her father had dered something, it was hard for others to go
against that.
"Yeah, your dad likes me, but Kevin and your mom really don''t like me." Louisa frowned. Who cared if
Nathan liked her? She wanted Kevin to like her. And it seemed to be impossible. After all, what she
wanted was Kevin''s love, not someone else''s.
"I told you not to think too much about it. Trust me. I know what you mean, and I''ll help you." ire
patted her chest, making this promise. It seemed as if she was in total control of everything and was
afraid that Louisa didn''t trust her.
"You''re right. ire, we are so besties. I''m happy to have a friend like you.." Louisa smiled. As long as
she was not alone in this battle, then everything was not such a big problem for her. Because she
would make the impossible things possible again.
"Of course we''re BFFs, whatever happens." ire raised her chin proudly. Leena had her mother''s
help here, but what about in the S city? She''d like to see who else could help her. She believed that
she could easily deal with Leena, given her ability and high IQ.
Perhaps Leena felt the hatred emanating from ire. She shivered unconsciously, and she got a weird
feeling in the pit of her stomach.
"What''s the matter? Feeling a little cold?" Kevin was looking at her closely just now. It was easy for him
to figure out that something was slightly off about Leena.
"Oh, no. I''m not cold! Let''s head out of the kitchen. It''s okay to take this soup out." Leena smiled. She
didn''t want to tell him that it was a bad feeling in her heart, and she didn''t know why.
"If you feel cold, then get a coat." Kevin felt a little worried about her. It looked like she was dressed
warmly enough. Why was she shivering like that?
"Yeah, if it gets bad enough, I''ll do that! By the way, where are Mom and Maud? They sure disappeared
in a hurry." Leena was confused. She only was busy with the soup for a little while. And how could they
take off without telling anyone?
"You just found out now? Haha! They''ve been out for a long time. They should be in the dining room by
now!" Kevinughed a little on Leena''s obliviousness. It seemed that this girl was perpetually confused.
And he knew what his mom was doing. She was deliberately staying away from the kitchen. She just
wanted to spare a room for him and Leena to stay together. It really made them look like newlyweds.
"Ah! Okay. I really didn''t notice that. So, is Dad eating lunch here?" Leena still felt confused and
worried. Until now, she was not ready to face Nathan. Because his harsh and awesome domination
was something she had never encountered before. So, she was still uncertain about running into him
again.
"No. He normallyes home at night. What''s the matter?" Kevin turned around and looked at her.
"Nothing, I''m just asking. Leena felt relieved to hear it. She finally could stop her heart from beating so
fast. If Nathan only came back at night, she still had some time to prepare for the meeting.
"Worried that he''ll scold you again? Don''t worry, I''m here. I''ll be with you." But Kevin felt guilty. If he had
been there with her, instead of chatting with someone, then his father wouldn''t have done that. Kevin
could have shut him up and shielded Leena. It was all his fault that things turned out this way.
