It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 1668

Duke meant to annoy Rain by texting him back two hours later. The latter seethed in anger, thinking about how he should exchange the high-end wine he was about to give Duke with a low-grade one.

Rain stared at the phone number on his screen and pressed back to the home screen, feeling like he wasn't brave enough to ring it up. His enthusiasm was gone.

After hesitating for a while, he gritted his teeth together and took a deep breath. He decided to let go of his anxiety and do what he really wanted. No matter what response he got, he needed to do this.

Rain looked at the phone number again and dialed it. The ringing was endless and he was disappointed to hear no one answer it. He was just about to hang up when a feminine voice spoke at the other end of the line.

"Hello, this is Annie speaking. Who is this?" At the familiar voice, Rain was suddenly at a loss for words. What would be appropriate for him to say?

"It's me. I was told you are in S City now." His voice was low and hesitant as he answered her, trying to suppress his eagerness.

"Rain?" Annie was flustered. It seemed that Duke told Rain everything.

"Yes. Do you have a minute? I hope we can have a drink." Rain's desk was covered in tons of files. He had a lot of work to do, but the files could wait. First, he wanted to give their relationship another chance.

"Right now?" Annie didn't hesitate in turning Duke's offer down, but when it came to Rain, she couldn't help letting her feelings get to her head. She was always pulled to him.

"Would that be okay?" Rain's voice was cautious, as if he was afraid she would say no.

"Yes. Where will we meet?" Annie smiled sadly. It turned out she still had feelings for him. She hadn't forgotten him at all.

"I'll pick you up. Tell me your address." Rain exhaled deeply upon hearing her answer. She had agreed to meet him! He grinned in relief.

"That's fine. I have a car. Just tell me where we will meet." The news of his marriage had cut Annie to the quick. Her heart still stung.

"I'll text you." They were in uncertain waters and talked warily, as if one wrong word had the power to offend the other person.

"Okay, see you later." Annie hung up soon, feeling like her heart was about to come out of her chest.

Rain put the phone down and sent her an address, frowning. He was lost in thought for a while. Soon, he walked out of his office.

"You look nice, Mom. Are you going out?" Huey asked her when he saw his mother put on make-up carefully.

"Yes, I am going out to meet a friend. Take care of your sister and don't bully her, all right?" Annie brushed off her dress, embarrassed to be praised by the little guy.

"Mom, are you going to meet a man?" Huey wondered if that was why she dressed up.

"Little monkey, who told you I am going to meet a man? What if it is a lady?" Annie's cheeks grew hot. Her son saw through her so easily. Was it so obvious she was meeting a man?

"You wouldn't wear lipstick if it was a lady," the little boy said, frowning.

"Who said I can't wear lipstick when I meet a lady? It is not like what you think! I'm going now. Don't tease your sister when she wakes up, okay?" Annie was worried to leave her two children at home all alone. They argued with each other all the time.

"I know. See you later, Mom." Huey could tell that the guy his mother was going to meet was important to her. Was he right in guessing who he was? His mother looked so nervous. Could it be his father? Huey's heart jumped in excitement at the thought.
