It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 1666

Annie had to buy a lot of daily necessities since she just moved into the new apartment. She went to a nearby supermarket together with her children after taking a rest. In the supermarket, she placed Joyce in a shopping cart and urged Huey to grab her clothes and follow her.

"Mommy, can we buy some candies?" Joyce stared at her mother with a hopeful expression.

"No, honey. I don't want you to have bad teeth." Annie turned her down without wavering even a second. Joyce loved eating candies and hated to brush her teeth. The little girl would even start crying whenever she asked her to brush.

"Mommy, please! I promise I'll brush my teeth," pleaded Joyce while pursing her lips.

"Your promise is not credible. So, no!" Joyce had made the same promise more times than Annie could count. However, her little girl would go back on her word each time.

Unlike his sister, Huey didn't even have to ask for Annie's consent. He just put the things he wanted into the shopping cart and was indifferent to his sister's behavior.

"How come Huey can have what he wants?" complained Joyce. She felt wronged as her brother could take whatever he wanted and she couldn't. She thought that Annie loved Huey more.

"Because the things Huey takes are not food. They are school supplies," Annie explained in a soft voice. Huey was more mature than his twin sister. Every time Annie came to supermarkets with the twins, Huey would take books and toys that could help develop intelligence. Annie was happy to see that.

"I want candies!" Joyce looked at her mother in the eye. She knew her mother would eventually give in.

"No! You can't eat candies!" asserted Annie. She thought she should not keep spoiling Joyce.

"Waah! Mommy, you don't love me, do you? I want candies!" It was then that Joyce started to cry. She could see it on her mother's face that she would not give her what she wanted.

"Idiot! You know nothing but eating and crying," Huey interrupted as he rolled his eyes at his sister. He couldn't even figure out why Joyce was so naive.

"I'm not an idiot! You are a bad brother! I'm not playing with you." Joyce cried even harder.

"Okay, okay. Don't cry, baby. You can have a lollipop, okay?" Annie couldn't help but surrender to her daughter's tears. She sighed with resignation and thought, 'It seems like being a strict mother isn't an easy thing after all.'

"Ha! Thank you, Mommy!" Joyce smiled through tears. She cast a challenging look at Huey as if saying, "I win!"

Annie was still attending her kids when something suddenly caught her attention. There were a gentleman and a woman standing not far away from them and she couldn't help but be shocked by what she saw. The two were laughing and talking while selecting groceries. They were even holding hands and exchanging sweet gazes every once in a while. It was Leena and Kevin.

'Hold on! Isn't she Rain's wife? Why is she with this man? Oh my God! Is she having an affair behind Rain's back?' Annie thought as she bit her lips.

Thinking of that possibility, Annie couldn't help but worry about Rain. She wondered if Rain knew that his wife had an affair.

"Kevin, let's go buy some strawberries. Richard loves it." Leena didn't know that Annie was watching them. She held Kevin's waist and looked at him affectionately.

"Sure. Why don't we buy all the things we need this time? I don't usually have as much free time like today." Kevin stroked her hair softly and gave his wife a warm smile. He was about to kiss his wife when he instantly stopped. He sensed something weird. His gut was telling him that someone was watching them. Thus, he turned his head and looked into the direction where Annie was standing.

Annie didn't expect the man to turn and look at her. She looked away immediately and pushed the cart away.
