Journey to Happy Ending

Chapter 1660 Persistent Eleanor (Part Three)

Finally sighing deeply, Rain started the car and drove away. But he didn't return to the KD Group like he

told Edward earlier in his office. Instead, he headed to the cemetery. He had a strong urge to visit his

mother now.

On his way to the cemetery, he bought a bunch of white chrysanthemums that his mother loved so

much. When he arrived, Rain quickly got out of the car but walked up the steps slowly, with his head

hanging low. When he reached her gravestone, he stopped and saw it was clean.

He laid the white flowers on the ground, and slowly lowered himself to sit facing his mother's grave.

Rain sat very close to the gravestone and stared at the black and white picture on it. Lifting his hand,

he gently stroked the woman's picture, as his eyes filled with regret and love. Rain truly missed his

mother now and wished she was still by his side to guide and comfort him.

The woman in the photograph was beautiful. Her smile dazzled, and her eyes were kind and gentle.

She looked like the type of woman who was warm-hearted and loving. It was probably what made her

more stunning. Rain felt extremely blessed to have inherited her good looks, which was why women

were often attracted to him.

"Mom, I really don't want you to see me like this, depressed and sad. But I can't help how I feel. I'm sad

and lonely, and I miss you terribly. And these feelings simply won't go away. I wish you were here."

Then Rain closed his eyes and leaned on the gravestone. Suddenly, he felt like he was in his mother's

loving arms. There was a real warm sensation that enveloped him.

"You once told me that I should fight for the things and people I love. But mom, what if that person I

want doesn't want to be with me? Should I still fight for her? Or do I just give up? I don't want to end up

like you, Mom. I honestly don't. I knew he lied to you. And in the process of hurting others, you also

harmed yourself, didn't you?" Rain sniffled. As he talked to his mother, tears kept streaming down his

face. His greatest shame was being born an illegitimate child. But not once did he blame his mother for

his circumstance. It wasn't her fault. His father lied to her. Since then Rain realized the world just wasn't

fair.

A self-deprecating and bitter smile crossed his handsome face. The sunlight shone on his miserable

face, but it couldn't warm his freezing heart. He was at a loss as to what to do now. Rain wanted to find

the woman who had always been in his heart but was unsure if he should. He was afraid to make the

same mistake as his mother, and end up hurting not only himself but other people as well. That was the

one thing he didn't want. He continued to lean on the gravestone with eyes closed, unaware of how

beautiful a scene it created, that would surely break many girls' hearts.

"Maybe I should listen to my heart and try to win her back again. I should see her and put an end to

this. Because no matter how hard I try, I can't get her out of my mind. I really can't forget her. The more

I try to forget her, the more I end up thinking about her. It seems that I can never get over her, mom,"

he wailed. He breathed deeply. Rain didn't know what was happening to him. Maybe he shouldn't wait

any longer because it only tortured him more. Perhaps, he should summon his courage and go to the

address Edward gave him, and talk to her. Or maybe, he was only trying to convince himself now to do

all this.

Rain spent a long time in the cemetery, thinking, and talking to his dead mother. He poured his heart

out to her, telling her all his frustrations and pain. Speaking to her was the only way he knew to deal

with his feelings. It was not as if he had no one else to turn to, but there were just things he wanted

only his mother to hear. He couldn't see himself opening up in front of anyone else. Telling his mother

everything he had bottled up in his heart was his only way of release. Talking relieved him of the

burdens he bore and left him happier. He had also finally made a decision.

When he returned downtown, the sun had already set. Thinking of the case Edward wanted him to

handle, Rain was prompted to bring out the document to read again. It seemed that next Monday would

be extremely busy for Rain. It was this thought that made Rain want to loosen up tonight and have

some fun. Hopefully, it would take his mind off things that had been bothering him the past few days.

At that moment, his phone rang. He dropped the document and picked up the phone. He glanced at the

name on the screen. He couldn't help but smile a little when he recognized the caller.

"This is a nice surprise. Hey, busy man, what can I do for you? Does this mean you aren't busy?" he

asked. It was rare to receive a call from Kevin, being the active soldier that he was. And Rain thought it

was a pleasant surprise.

"Nana said that you were extremely busy these days, and she was afraid that you'd exhaust yourself.

That's why she wants to invite you over for dinner at our apartment. She's preparing some fantastic

dishes right now," Kevin extended the invitation. Admittedly, Kevin was a bit jealous of Rain. Recently,

he found out that Leena cared more about Rain than him, her husband. And the jealousy was reflected

in his tone. NôvelDrama.Org content.

"Really? That's wonderful! I'm not saying no to your invitation. I'll be there soon, okay?" Rain said.

Before Kevin called, he was just wondering where to eat tonight. His call saved him from thinking.

Leena was truly a kind and considerate little sister.

"Get yourself a drink, because I'm not letting you have mine," Kevin told him. His tone was indifferent,

to clearly show he wasn't as happy as Rain.

"All right, all right. I'll get liquor for myself, you miser!" Rain said happily. He quickly hung up and raised

his head to look around. Fortunately, he saw a liquor store nearby, so Rain didn't have to drive

elsewhere to get his preferred drink. He drove straight to the shop and parked in front of it. It was

indeed his lucky day. Earlier, he decided to have some liquor to relax tonight. With Kevin's call, Rain

would have company while drinking.

The corners of Kevin's lips curled into a playful smile. Rain was always picky about almost everything,

especially hard drinks. So, no matter what he decided to bring would not be bad at all. The truth was,

he would also be happy to see Rain and share a drink with him although he admittedly felt a little

jealous of the man because his wife cared about him too much. It seemed they'd be having some fun

tonight.
