It'll Come Naturally

"So, you are Mr. Xia's sister?" Eleanor asked in surprise. She thought that Tiana was Rain's girlfriend. It turned out that she was wrong. She was thrilled. Being close to Tiana would be as good as being close to Rain. She didn't even care that Tiana and Rain had different last names.

"Yes, I am," Tiana replied while peeking sideways at Rain. He had never admitted that they were siblings to anyone.

"Just eat. I don't like people who talk too much." In Rain's eyes, Tiana was too naive to realize Eleanor's intention. Thus, he urged his sister to stop talking even before Eleanor could inquire more.

"Oh." Seeing Rain's long face, Tiana shut her mouth and gave Eleanor an awkward smile. She didn't dare to offend him as he was by no means a kindhearted man. All the Ke family members knew it clearly.

"Mr. Xia, I heard the casting of the new TV series is in progress. May I recommend myself for the female leading role?" Actually, Eleanor had already known that the female leading role had been set. She was just pretending not to know about it as she hoped for him to give her a chance.

"It's the director's affair and not my concern." Rain had no interest in intervening in casting. He knew that the director was more capable of it and he didn't want to abuse his power to satisfy someone.

"But I think you have a say in it." Eleanor looked at him with a hopeful expression while waiting for his reply.

"Yes, I do have a say but why should I do that? If you want to take part in the TV drama, then why don't you go to the director? Am I clear now?" Rain snapped with a frown. He had completely lost his appetite.

"I'm really sorry, Mr. Xia. I was being impolite." Eleanor felt very embarrassed at Rain's reaction and her face flushed with shame. She lowered her head and ate her food quietly.

Tiana had thought that there was something between Rain and Eleanor. However, she realized that he didn't have a thing for her at all now and it was just Eleanor who kept pestering him.

"Enjoy your food. I'll take my leave first." Rain stood suddenly and was about to leave. He really didn't want to stay in the restaurant anymore.

"What? But you barely ate something," Tiana said with a frown. She finally managed to have the chance to dine with her brother but this was all ruined. She felt frustrated.

"I'm not hungry. By the way, I'll pay the bill." After casting a scornful glance at Annie's direction, he turned and left the restaurant. He was too proud to keep pestering a woman who didn't love him despite his deep love for her. He went to his car and sat in the driver's seat. He seldom smoked but decided to light up a cigarette this time. Leaning against the seat, he shut his eyes and pondered on he and Annie's past.

"Tiana, is your brother always so hard to get on with?" asked Eleanor. She heard that among the group of four rich and powerful men, Rain was the easiest one to get close to. However, that news seemed to be untrue.

"Don't take it personally. He is always cold." Tiana had spent a long time making Rain change his attitude towards her. Thus, she thought that it was just normal for him to be cold to Eleanor too.

"Alright. I won't give up so easily." A bright smile showed on Eleanor's face. She was confident that she would eventually win his heart. The more indifferent he was to her, the more interested she was in him.

"What? Do you have a thing for him?" Tiana asked in a low voice. Usually, actresses would not fall into a relationship so easily. Otherwise, they would lose many male fans.

"You think I'm not good enough for him?" Eleanor asked in reply.

"I didn't mean it that way. To be honest with you, it's very hard to win his heart." Judging from Rain's previous attitude towards Eleanor, Tiana knew that he didn't like her at all. He even hated her.

"I have you, right? Though we just met today, you and I are like old friends. I believe you will help me, won't you?" Eleanor looked at Tiana with a sincere expression. She knew that most people would have a hard time once she acted this sweet.

"Uh. He won't listen to me. I'm afraid I will let you down." Tiana gave Eleanor an awkward smile. She had a clear estimation of herself. She knew that Rain would by no means listen to her. He would even get irritated if she helped Eleanor court him. She didn't want to ruin the relationship between Rain and her, so she could only turn Eleanor down.

"Tiana, please don't turn me down. Reconsider it, okay?" Eleanor didn't believe what she heard and thought, 'Did this woman really just turn me down? The nerve!'

"Miss Xiao, my brother hates being forced to do anything. Please forgive me. I'm unable to help." Tiana lost her appetite as well and wondered how she should excuse herself in a polite way.

"Fine! I don't believe your brother would refuse a beautiful girl like me." Eleanor decided to take all means to win Rain's heart. With her pretty face and sexy body, she didn't think it was very hard.

Tiana's face twitched when she heard what the actress said. She could tell that she was not Rain's type at all. He loved the kind of soft and obedient woman. However, she didn't think she should tell Eleanor about it. After having spent the time with her, Tiana found that she didn't like her anymore.

Annie had seen Rain leave the restaurant. Frankly, she wanted to run after him and just leave the restaurant too.

"Huey, Joyce, have you finished your food? It's time to go back home," asked Annie in a soft voice. She tried her best to sound normal like she was not affected by Rain at all.

"Yes, Mommy. Let's go home." The twins dropped their chopsticks and flashed a big grin. Joyce wasn't sad at Rain's departure at all. Maybe it was because she hadn't lived with him before, thus, she was okay with it. Huey, however, looked sad and dejected. He had always wanted to live with his daddy. He just couldn't understand why his parents couldn't be together.

"Well then, let me drive you home." Fred knew that Annie was not in a good mood, so he didn't try to keep her stay.

The combination of a pretty woman and a handsome man, as well as adorable twins attracted the attention of most guests in the restaurant, including Eleanor and Tiana. When Annie walked past their table, Eleanor suddenly stood and blocked their way.

"Miss An, I didn't expect you're already married. Are they your kids? They look adorable." Eleanor eyed Fred from head to toe. She had to admit that he was a handsome man. Nevertheless, he was still no match for Rain. She snorted in her mind and looked back at Annie. "It's not working hours, so please excuse us." Annie didn't want to argue with this woman before her children, so she just gently avoided her and was about to leave.

"Come on. Don't be so aloof. Are you not going to introduce your husband and children to us?" Eleanor taunted. She had been fully focused on the leading role of the new TV series recently, and hadn't paid attention to the latest news. As a result, she didn't recognize Fred and thought the man was just a nobody.

"Miss Xiao, please get out of the way," Annie said with a frown. If it weren't for Eleanor getting in her way, she would have just left without even talking to her.

man.

"Oh my God! Eleanor, you see, the boy looks like my brother so much!" Tiana cried in disbelief. After taking a close look at the little boy, she realized that he was a mini-sized Rain. Her eyes widened as she wondered who this woman was and why she was with another Annie was shocked by Tiana's words. 'Brother? Oh my God! Did I just misunderstand Rain again? I thought she was his woman. Oh, what a fool I was!' she thought.

Eleanor turned to look at Huey on hearing Tiana's surprise. Just as Tiana said, the boy closely resembled Rain. She had a bad feeling that this woman must have something to do with Rain. Suddenly, her eyes were burning with rage as she stared at Annie.0000NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
