It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 1684

"Mommy, what's wrong? Can we go down?" Huey asked in confusion, his brows furrowing. He and Joyce were sitting at the back, so they didn't see Rain.

"Oh, let's get out." Annie's head rang as her biggest secret that she managed to hide all these years was about to be exposed.

Rain also got out of the car and trotted his way over to them. But when his eyes landed on the two children, he halted.

Were they Annie's children? Rain held his breath as his eyes darted back and forth between Huey and Joyce. His heart raced and beat wildly in his chest. Somehow, the boy looked very familiar to him.

"Did you just arrive?" Annie asked as she walked over to him. She stood in front of the kids to stop him from ogling at them. What would Rain do after he found out the truth?

"Yep.

Your kids look adorable," Rain said as his eyes looked away. Deep inside, he pondered on who the boy looked like.

"Huey, you look like this uncle!" A little girl's voice piped up from behind Annie's back.

Annie's face immediately blanched. She dodged Rain's questioning eyes and scolded her daughter, "Don't talk nonsense!"

Rain's eyes widened in shock. He pulled Annie aside and stared at the boy carefully. He finally realized that why the boy looked so familiar. He was a mini version of himself.

Rain turned to look pointedly at Annie. "Can you explain?" His eyes roamed across Annie's face, never missing a single expression. Her every move was now under his scrutiny.

"I..." Annie clenched her fists tightly into a ball, her nails digging into her palms. She wondered how she should explain everything. Four years ago, they had one passion-filled, romantic night and two months later, she found out she was pregnant. She panicked at the beginning and even considered abortion -- after all, it was very hard for a woman to raise her child alone. However, she eventually decided to keep the babies. If she couldn't be with Rain, it was not a bad idea to have his children.

"Annie, you've been hiding them from me all these years? It seems that I've underestimated you." Rain laughed bitterly. He didn't expect this woman to have made a fool out of him. He suddenly felt that he didn't know her at all.

"Rain, you got me wrong. Please let me explain." She had imagined countless possibilities of how Rain would react when he saw the children, but none of them included this. She was rather shocked by his reaction and didn't understand why he was so angry.

"Explain? Annie, you know what I hate the most in my life! I hate that my father abandoned my mother and me, and that I was called bastard. Why do you have to let my children go through the same experience again? I hate you!" Rain bellowed as his eyes fiercely stared at her. He had a miserable childhood, and he had sworn he would never let his children undergo the same experience. But what did Annie do?

"Bad guy! Leave my mommy alone!" Huey yelled from behind his mother and proceeded to punch Rain's leg to protect Annie. Meanwhile, Joyce freaked out at the situation and burst into tears.
