It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 1692

"If this is what you want, then you have won. I give up." Rain was so crushed that he had to close his eyes for a moment. He was really hoping that they would move into his house, but not in this way. Seeing his daughter cry struck the softest depths of his heart, making it too painful for him to continue.

"Rain, do you think that I am such a cold-hearted and calculating woman that would use my own children against you?" 'I never expected that they would behave like this. Judging from their earlier response, I have thought that they would love to live with you, ' Annie wondered.

"The truth is right in front of us. If you don't want to live with me then tell me straight. Don't use the children as a tool for your rejection, "Rain said, enraged. To use one's own children against the other parent, struck a chord with Rain. It reminded him of his own family when he was growing up. His mother used to be denigrated for using him as a weapon against his father. This made him extremely sensitive when he saw that Annie was doing the same with their children.

"You can believe what you want. But I didn't do that!" Annie burst out. She felt wrongly accused by him. Her eyes were red with tears.

"It doesn't matter to me anymore. Since you have rejected me so strongly, then I wish you well, good-bye!" Rain looked at his children longingly. He then turned and left with a heavy heart as he couldn't bear to see them crying because of him.

Annie's heart was full of bitterness. Once again Rain turned his back on her and walked away hurt and lonely. She knew that probably this time he wouldn't be back again, which meant that she had extinguished a good chance of them getting back together.

"Mommy, doesn't daddy love us anymore?" Huey asked, looking at her with a sad face. 'If he loved us, he wouldn't have left us, ' he thought.

"No, he will always love you two. He left because he's angry at mommy, not at you two." Annie felt nervous. Even she questioned what was going through Rain's mind.

"Mommy, you don't love daddy. Is that why you don't want to move to daddy's house with us?" Joyce asked in a little voice. Her eyes were full of tears. Annie's heart broke seeing Joyce like this.

"No sweetheart it's not like that, don't think too much about it. Huey, take your sister into the room now," Annie said softly. She had a very bad gut feeling that she had lost Rain forever.

"All right Mommy," Huey nodded. He gently took his sister by the hand and led her to her room. He was such a sweet and obedient boy.

Annie paced the room back and forth weighing up if she should explain everything to Rain. After some consideration, she decided to swallow her pride. It was more important for her to go after him than to risk losing him forever.

Running down the stairs as fast as she could, she ran out onto the street only to see his car speeding away in the distance. She had missed him by only a few seconds.

'How could you just drive away like that? Don't you care about your own children anymore?' she thought bitterly.

Rain drove his car straight to the KD Group. Before the argument, he had planned to spend the whole day with Annie and the kids, but now that plan was quashed. So he decided to immerse himself in his work to try and forget about the pain that he was now feeling in his heart.

"Mr. Xia, what a coincidence! I was thinking about calling you and here you are," William said cheerfully as he walked towards Rain to greet him.

"What's the matter?" Rain asked impatiently. 'Whatever William is going to say, it couldn't be something good, ' he thought.
