It'll Come Naturally

At a restaurant, Annie sat, pushing the food around on her plate absentmindedly. She had agreed to go out to a restaurant with Fred and her two children for the first time. With a heavy heart, Annie was trying to enjoy the meal but anyone could see by the look on her face that her mind was in another place.

She was thinking about Rain, who seemed to have disappeared completely out of her life. Ever since the last argument, not a single phone call did she get from him. She was hurt that he didn't even come to see the children. It was as if he had completely forgotten about them. She had his cell phone number on her phone, but she didn't have the courage to dial it. She didn't know how to tell him the real reason why she didn't move in with him. 'How can I tell him how I truly feel? I don't want him to feel like he has to accept me unwillingly into his home just for the sake of the children? I don't want to be there if I am not wanted. I want to tell him that I miss him so much, but I don't know how to start,' she sighed, thinking sadly.

"Annie, what's the matter? Don't you like the meal?" asked Fred a little worried. Fred knew that Annie and the kids didn't move in to live with Rain and he was both happy and relieved about that. It meant that he still had a chance to date Annie. But now seeing her so unhappy, he couldn't help but worry about her.

"Oh, no. The meal is fine. It's just that I haven't had much of an appetite lately," she said, squeezing out a small smile.

"Are you exhausted from your work? You really shouldn't work so hard. After all, it's not like it's some big important corporation," he said, frowning, concerned.

"It's okay, you don't need to worry. How about you? How is everything going? I've seen your publicity poster and it seems that even in S City your influence cannot be underestimated," she said, moving the topic of conversation away from her. It had only been two days, since the news announced that Fred was going to be the judge of the Starlet Contest in S City. The residents of S City couldn't have been more thrilled at the news. Everywhere in S city was an exciting buzz in the air.

"I didn't expect that I have so many fans in China. Before this event, I was a little worried that the people in S City haven't even heard of me," Fred said honestly. For a musician, to be recognized by the audience was the most important thing above all else.

"That's because your work really touches the audience deeply, and that's why you have so many fans," Annie said, full of admiration. 'I'm an insignificant person without any fame. Even a starlet like Eleanor can bully me. Even though Belinda taught her a lesson that day, she will only cooperate with me inside of work. But after work, she will still be looking for any chance to cause trouble for me. I really don't know what I have done for her to hate me so much, 'Annie wondered bitterly.

"You're also very outstanding!

Who hasn't heard of the beautiful and talented designer of Doyce Jewelry?" Fred exclaimed happily. In Thailand and many other countries, Doyce Jewelry was the favorite among the upper class.

"That's just your personal opinion, but thank you just the same. Anyway, we'd better focus on our dinner now," she said with a small laugh. Annie's mood was slightly better after her little chat with Fred. However, it dropped drastically when she saw a person she knew well walk into the restaurant. Her heart was beating so hard that she thought it might come out of her chest.

Tiana, who was just the half little sister of Rain's, had finally succeeded in getting him to accompany her to dinner, so she felt very pleased and excited. She wrapped her arm affectionately around his as they walked into the restaurant.

Rain didn't plan on having dinner with her at all. But she persisted so hard and managed to persuade him into going. After all, she had always been so nice to him for all the years that he had known her so he made an exception for her.

When Rain saw Annie and the children his face softened and he felt a little twang in his heart at seeing her again. He was pleased to see them. But when he noticed there was a man sitting with them his demeanor had changed completely. It was all clear to him now. He smiled politely and sat down as if nothing was out of place. Looking at him no one would suspect that anything was wrong.

"Mommy look, it's daddy over there," Huey said. He was excited at seeing him, but angry at the woman who was leaning on his father.

"It really is our daddy! But who is that lady? I don't like her! Why is she so close to daddy?" Joyce complained. Her little eyebrows wrinkled into an angry frown as she stared at Tiana.

Annie's face went pale and suddenly she felt nauseous. 'Rain left angrily in his car a few days ago, not even allowing me to explain anything to him. He hasn't even bothered to call me nor come to see the children. Now I know why that is! He has already found another interest,' she thought, crushed. After seeing Rain with another woman, Annie found it very hard to believe anything that Belinda had told her about the feelings that Rain had for her.

Fred looked at her very concerned. It was obvious that she still had deep feelings for Rain. Otherwise, she wouldn't have reacted in that way.

"Rain, do you know that family over there? Why are they staring at us like that?" Tiana asked, feeling very self-conscious.

"Yes," Rain answered flatly. He gave the impression that he didn't want to say anything more about it. 'Indeed, they are just like a family. It explains why she refused to move into my house with the kids,' he thought bitterly. "Why don't we go and say hello to them then?" Tiana suggested. Tiana smiled kindly at the two children. However, she felt a lot of anger and resentment sent to her from them.00000000Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
