It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 1683

Morning light lit the living room, bathing the interiors with a soft warm glow. The house was quiet and calm. Annie stood by the door and scanned her phone. Leena had called and offered to pick her up. Although she wasn't familiar with S City, she politely declined Leena's offer. She didn't want to bother her and besides, she could always use the vehicle GPS navigation.

Soft footsteps were heard from the stairs. Annie turned around and saw Huey, who was dressed in his casual clothes. He rubbed his eyes sleepily and asked curiously, "Mommy, is the auntie who invited us your friend?" He hadn't seen his mother hang out with her friends before.

"Uh, sort of." Annie shrugged. She really didn't know it either. 'Is Leena my friend? We just knew each other the day before yesterday, ' she thought to herself.

"Mommy, will daddy be there too?" Huey asked hopefully and broke Anna from her thoughts. His eyes glittered with hope at the prospect of finally seeing his father.

"Maybe." Annie shrugged again. Truthfully, she wasn't even sure if Rain would be there. The thought made her feel uncomfortable and uneasy, and her stomach churned because if he was there, how was she supposed to tell or explain to him about the children?

"Will he accept Joyce and me?" Huey asked again, anxiety evident all over his little groggy face.

"I don't know either." This time, Annie shook her head with a frown. She honestly had no idea what Rain thought about. Perhaps he had changed a lot during the past four years.

Two little feet excitedly ran down the stairs and stopped in front of the two. "Mommy, look! Am I pretty?" Joyce had gone out of her room and went down. She twirled around and flashed a big grin at Annie as she showed her the princess dress and white fur cloak she wore.

"Wow! Are you a little princess, Joyce? You look gorgeous!" Joyce was just like a little version of Annie. Annie couldn't help but remember how she used to be carefree at that age when she looked at her little girl. Now, she had too much trouble to handle on her plate.

"Mommy, will there be some other boys there who can play with me?" Joyce playfully asked as her grin grew wider when her mother praised her look for today.

"Yes, they are younger than you. You can play with them." Annie's hand stretched to smooth out her daughter's hair. She didn't know how to deal with the people later yet and here her little girl was, already thinking about playing with the other children there.

"But I don't like younger boys. They are so annoying!" Joyce grumbled in annoyance, her lips pursed into a tight line. She remembered their neighbors' kids on Phuket Island who used to cry all day long. She really felt frustrated at the thought of dealing with that.

"You can't say that before others, okay? It's not polite," Annie chastised little Joyce and beckoned her to turn around. She gathered a lock of hair from her daughter's head and made twin tails. She then adorned the hairstyle with a beautiful headpiece she designed herself. She held Joyce at an arm's length, who now looked like a princess.

"Okay, Mommy." Joyce gave a peck on her mother's cheek with her soft little lips, and she felt extremely happy at this moment. Maybe it was because Joyce was a girl, so she was not that looking forward to meeting her father like Huey. She was already perfectly content with just her mother.
