It'll Come Naturally

The screen showed a picture of a boy and a girl. They quite looked like each other, meaning that they could possibly be twins. Annie touched the screen and said in a light voice, "My babies, I'm really sorry. I can't bring your daddy home to you."

She stared at the picture on the phone until she fell asleep on the couch.

When Rain woke up, he felt parched and the pounding pain in his head was killing him. He didn't open his eyes, but rubbed his brow to alleviate the pain. After he felt better, he opened his eyes and got the shock of his life.

He threw back the quilt and jumped off the bed. 'Where the hell am I? Did my friends just throw me in a hotel room instead of sending me home? What fucking fake friends I have! I'm gonna get those sons of bitches next time!' he cursed in his mind.

He looked around and his eyes widened when he saw a woman sleeping on the couch. He looked closer and easily recognized who it was. Annie! What was she doing here? And why were they in the same room?

He fixed his eyes on her face and didn't dare to move. He was afraid that this was just a dream, and Annie would disappear once he woke up. He wanted to stay in this moment a bit longer.

She didn't seem to be sleeping well as her brow was furrowed. The phone in her hand was about to drop. He walked to her quietly and caught the phone as it was about to fall to the carpeted floor.

He knew it was not right to invade her privacy, but his curiosity was killing him. He turned on the phone and it felt like his heart was pierced when he saw the twins on the screen. 'She has a son and a daughter, and they look like two or three years old. It means that she got married and got pregnant after she left me. Ha-ha! I am such a fool!' he mocked himself.

'But why do these two kids look so familiar? And I couldn't help but feel warm looking at them, 'he thought.

He shook his head and brushed the weird feeling off. He thought it must be because he loved Annie so much that he couldn't help but be fond of her children. Maybe he even loved them already.

He put her phone on the nightstand and sat on the edge of the bed. Since she already had a family with two children, Rain decided to give up on her and let her go. He believed that if he truly loved her, he should be strong enough to give way. He shouldn't be the one who destroyed her beautiful family. As long as she was happy, he was happy too. He could and would do everything for her.

He checked the time. It was 4:00 in the morning. He looked around and realized where he was judging by the furnishings and the theme of the room. He curled his lips and flashed a mocking smile. He knew why he was here; it must be Edward who had asked his men to put him in this room. 'Thanks, bro, but I don't think I need it, ' he thought to himself. 'But where is Annie's husband? Why isn't he here with her? Or maybe this is not her room either and she was brought here by Edward's men as well. Those jerks!' he thought to himself as he tried harder to figure it out.

No matter what the truth was, Edward's plan seemed doomed to fail. She had already gotten married and had two adorable children.

"Hmmpp..." As she was not sleeping well on the couch, she let out a soft moan and turned over, in an attempt to find a more comfortable position. She almost fell down to the floor. She woke up instantly and yelled in surprise.

Rain made a few dry coughs and looked away. Embarrassment and awkwardness hung in the air.

"Rain, you are awake!" Seeing Rain sitting on the bed, Annie was thrilled and walked up to him.

"Hi, Annie. You're awake too. Why am I here?" Although he had known the answer, he pretended to not know it.

"I don't know either. When I took a bath and got out the bathroom, you were already in my bed," Annie explained, staring at Rain with a pair of innocent eyes.

"Sorry. You must have been scared to death." His voice was softer this time, as he had calmed down.

"Uh, I was fine. How have you been?" Annie asked. Actually she was dying to ask if he had missed her.

"Not bad, as you can see. You seem to have a happy life," Rain teased. He put on his usual warm face to cover his sorrow. He had no idea that Annie had misunderstood the relationship between him and Leena. Otherwise, he would explain it immediately. "Actually..." Annie opened her mouth, trying to explain her relationship with Fred, but eventually decided not to.

"What?" Rain asked, eager to know.

"Nothing serious. I'm glad to know that you are happy, Rain." Annie gave him a sweet smile, but on the inside, she was crying.

"Thank you," Rain replied coldly as his heart sank. He thought Annie was trying to dissociate herself from him.

"You have a beautiful wife and an adorable son." Annie tried her best to sound natural, but her shaking voice betrayed her.

"What? What are you talking about? I have a wife and a son?" Rain reacted in disbelief, his jaw slack. He was totally confused. After a while, he realized that Annie must have thought that Richard was his son. But who did she think his wife was? And why was she thinking like that? "Uh? Did I say something wrong?" Annie asked in reply, seeing the bewildered look on his face.

"Never mind." Rain shook his head. He planned to explain it, but at the thought of Annie's husband and children, he decided not. What was the use?

They remained silent for a long time. Rain bid her goodbye as he couldn't bear the silence anymore. Yes, he still loved her. But so what? She was married, and he could do nothing about it.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

Annie watched his receding figure. She wanted to stop him, but didn't. If she stopped him, what would she tell him? She didn't know.

Rain didn't leave the hotel. He had his own suite just a few floors up, so he headed straight to it. As soon as he got in, he threw himself onto the soft bed burying his face into the pillow.00000
