Journey to Happy Ending

Chapter 1720 I Will Be With You As Long As You Want Me (Part Five)

"Yes, I am ready! I will be with you as long as you want me. I want to spend the rest of my life with you.

I am sure of it." Annie nodded firmly, looking at Rain with determination and large affectionate eyes.

She took Rain's hand and walked into the building with him, finally having no regrets. And by the time

the two of them left the building, she had already become Mrs. Xia legally.

"Congratulations, Miss An. You are Mrs. Xia from now on. How do you feel right now?" Rain reached

his hand out to shake hands with Annie, sealing their deal, and trying to keep a straight face at the

same time. In fact, he just couldn't contain his happy grin. He was finally married to the woman he

loved!

"Congratulations to you too, Mr. Xia. Now you finally have a wife. How do you feel right now?" Annie

reached out and took Rain's hand in hers. They were finally married after all these years' suffering and

waiting. She finally had the man she had been in love with, and chasing for years. Now, they were a

legal couple, and they had their own little family. They couldn't wait to start their married life.

"I feel like kissing you. I really want to kiss you, right now!" Rain said in a fervent tone. And before

Annie could react, he put his lips on hers and held her tightly in his arms. Though it was not the first

time that the two of them kissed, it felt like the first time. Now, they kissed as a bona fide married

couple, and their passionate kiss showed their deep love for each other.

Kissing in public would surely make some heads turn, but they didn't care at all. They just got married

for God's sake! They were happy and needed the kiss to celebrate their love and seal their promise.

Besides, this was the local Civil Affairs Bureau after all, and they were not the only ones who were here

to get married. People here would surely understand their feelings. It was a sacred place, and it was

also the place where they became legal partners.

Unfortunately, right as they were passionately kissing each other, Annie's phone rang, making both of

them jump in surprise. They had to break the kiss. Annie removed her phone from her pocket and

frowned at the name on the caller ID.

It was Fred. Annie hesitated, and looked at Rain with unsure eyes. She was worried that Rain would be

unhappy. This was after all their moment, so she didn't know if she should answer it or not.

"Just take the call! What are you waiting for? Maybe he has something urgent to tell you." This time,

Rain was not jealous, because the woman standing in front of him had just become his legal wife. Now,

he had nothing to worry about. He no longer feared that some other man would come and snatch her Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

up anymore. They belonged only to each other from now on. And it made him extremely happy.

Annie let out a sigh of relief, assured by his words. Then she took the call. "Hello, Fred. What is the

matter?"

"Annie, where are you? I rang your door bell, but no one answered. The neighbor told me that you

moved away. What happened? Don't you live there anymore?" Fred felt uneasy. He didn't know why

Annie had moved without telling him. He had a very bad feeling about this. Something must have

happened that he didn't know about.

"Oh. I moved away the other day. I don't live there anymore. I am sorry that I didn't tell you sooner. I

completely forgot. I am extremely busy these days. I am really sorry, Fred," Annie said in a very

apologetic tone. She wasn't lying. She had completely forgotten that she should at least tell Fred that

she had moved away. In fact, she hadn't expected that things would happen so fast with Rain. That

was why she hadn't had any time to consider other things and call Fred to tell him the news. But Annie

was unconcerned as she was happy where she was right now. She finally got married to the man she

loved. She looked forward to her future life with Rain and their little family.

"You moved away? Then where do you live now? Please give me your new address. I will come and

find you." Fred's heart sank upon hearing Annie's words. Why did she move away? Was she avoiding

him? He felt that things were getting out of his control. Suddenly, he didn't know what to do anymore.

That was why he hurriedly asked for Annie's new address. He wanted to see her and be assured about

their relationship.

"Um. Fred, how about I call you back later? I am a bit busy right now, so, I can't really talk," Annie

answered Fred's question a bit vaguely. She didn't know how to explain to him about her relationship

and history with Rain. She just didn't know what to say, because it was complicated, and she was also

still confused herself. She just knew that she loved Rain, and was ready to spend the rest of her life

with him. But she couldn't just tell Fred that, because she knew that it would hurt his feelings, and she

didn't want to hurt him. Besides, it was not a conversation that should be done over the phone. Though

she had never accepted Fred as a significant other, she could not bluntly ignore his care and company

over the past few years. He deserved better from her. His solicitude was something she was forever

indebted to him for, and she couldn't thank him enough for being there when she needed someone. But

she just couldn't lie to herself. She would never be in love with Fred. So, no matter what, she owed it to

him to clarify things, and give him a proper explanation. After all, Fred had just confessed his feelings

for her the other day. If not for that, she could have pretended that she was unaware of his feelings,

and everything would have been fine. But now, she just couldn't act like nothing happened between

them. She would set things straight. It was just that today was really not the time. This was their day.

The day that she and Rain got married, and it belonged to the man she would spend the rest of her life

with. It was time for celebration and being with their family.

"Oh, okay. I will wait for your call then." Fred's heart had sunk into his stomach. He couldn't help but

fear the worst. She wouldn't even tell him her new address for God's sake! He felt sad and uneasy. It

seemed that they were suddenly drifting apart, and it was not something that Fred wanted. He was in

love with Annie, and he wanted to be with her. He knew he was pressuring her, but he just couldn't help

it. He had a bad feeling that he was about to lose her. Thinking of this dark possibility, Fred just couldn't

breathe. His heart throbbed painfully in his chest, making it hard for him to breathe properly. It felt like

his whole world was crumbling in front of his eyes.
