It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 1681

"Really?" she asked, intrigued. Upon hearing his recommendation's convenience, Annie felt frisky enough to ask for confirmation. If the kindergarten was indeed close to her house, even if she didn't have the time to send her children herself, the babysitter could do this for her.

"That's true," Rain affirmed, "Let me take you there sometime to check it out." Rain had no idea why he was too eager to help. After all, the children weren't his flesh and blood. So why was he playing such an active part in Annie's personal affairs? His inner thoughts, however, couldn't help but be interested in anything that concerned her. Due to such a dangerous undertaking, he thought he must be going mad.

"Sure. But before we go, I need to put these things in the office." Taking her things from his arms, she walked to her office quickly to drop the documents and prepare her purse.

What she didn't notice was Rain's unceasing gaze after her as she went into her office. Seeing her pace in glee, Rain felt like his soul seemed to be captivated by her grace.

When she was ready, they made their way to the parking lot where Rain's car was parked. It was a bright-colored and eye-catching ride, standing out amidst other cars like a big frog in a small pond.

Just as Annie was about to head to her car, Rain held her back. Shocked at his own actions, he began talking before he was even aware of what he wanted to say. "Let's just go together in my car!" he suggested. "After the visit, I can just drive you back here."

Annie hesitated, "Won't that be such a bother to you though?" As he was an important figure who - according to Belinda, was in charge of two companies, Annie didn't want to take much of his time. Having so much on his plate, the man must be exhausted from his work and thus, she felt obliged not to demand more than the generosity that he was already showing her.

For Rain, though, it was anything but not the trouble to be able to spend more time with her. So, he replied in an affable manner, "It doesn't matter. It shouldn't take much time." Opening the door for her, Rain waited for her to accept his proposition.

Since it had come to this, it would be inappropriate for her to say no again. Caving in to his charm, she entered the car, and let Rain close the door for her.

"Buckle up your seatbelt," he said, refraining from doing it for her. But as he found that she was a little lost in her own thoughts, he went against his own better judgment and stretched the belt across her body, buckling it up for her. He did it with such kindness and patience, so pure that he wondered of their origins.

Annie, who was stunned, watched him in silence. When Rain's face drew so close to hers, she could see the tiny pores on it. His gesture was so affectionate, it drove her heart to skip a beat, and even do a somersault afterward.

A wave of warm breath touched his ear lightly as he returned to his seat, nearly making him lose his mind for a few seconds. Despite remaining calm and concealing the turmoil that wrestled inside of him, he didn't notice that his red ears had forsaken his attempt to be indifferent. Taking a deep breath, he told himself repeatedly that the woman beside him didn't belong to him.

After what felt longer than it really was, he said in a mellow voice, "Let's go," Hiding his emotions, he slowly drove out of the parking lot.
