It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 1651

When Rain got home, Edward, hearing about the news, immediately called him.

"Don't say anything yet – I know what you want to say," said Rain once he had picked up the call. Rain knew that Edward was good-intentioned, but he also knew that whatever Edward thought was wrong; Rain would never be the one to wreck another man's family.

"Man, give it to me straight. Are you acting like some kind of coward in front of Annie again?" Edward wore a frown in his face. When he heard that Rain left the hotel alone, he was certain that Rain did not succeed last night.

"No, I'm not. I don't want to make a fool out of myself, Edward. I don't want to look like a creep," explained Rain who looked down. His grief came in waves, devouring him.

"Hold on. What do you mean?" Edward did not think that Annie would ever have the guts to turn down Rain. She had loved Rain dearly in the past and it wouldn't be like her to just change her mind all of a sudden.

"Edward, she has children already. Do you think I would stand a chance?" asked Rain, trying not to blame fate so that he could face the music.

"Are you sure? You can't just assume those children are hers," Edward debated. He was trying not to show that he was taken aback from what he just heard and was thinking if he was wrong about how steady Annie's love for Rain was. As much as Edward wanted to agree with Rain, he was positive about what he saw: Annie and Fred, however, treated each other like guests. The two did not seem like a couple at all.

"It's obvious," Rain said. "They're a couple and it's normal for them to have children," he added with a bitter smile plastered across his face.

"A couple? You really think those two love each other? I don't agree." Edward snorted, looking handsome and striking even in the midst of disgust.

"I saw this with my own eyes, man. It's an immutable fact," Rain said in a depressed tone.

"Come on. Not everything you see is necessarily true. Sometimes, you have to look with your heart, not with your eyes." Edward was once in the same situation as Rain before, so he could empathize with Rain very heavily.

"Stop trying to comfort me." Rain knitted his brows in despair and closed his ears to whatever Edward had to advice.

"Fine. Tell me, was there anyone else in the room besides you and Annie last night?" Those who were closely involved couldn't see as clearly as those who were outside. Edward decided that he would help Rain think rationally so that everything could fall into their respective order.

"Nope. Weren't you the one who arranged the room?" Rain was perplexed. He had no idea why Edward would ask such a question.

"Oh, man, no. We didn't do anything," Edward said, thinking how foolish Rain was.

"So you're saying my eyes deceived me?" Enlightened, Rain sprung up from the sofa, overwhelmed. 'Why didn't I figure this out sooner?' he thought to himself.
