It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 1695

"There's no need to say hello to them. Why don't we order our food?" Rain said in a low voice as he tried his best to not look at Annie and the twins. He was dying to go there and hug his kids, but he didn't want to make them cry again.

"Rain, don't you think the man looks familiar? He looks like Fred Chen, the Prince of Music. He is really popular these days." Tiana took a close look at the man and thought that he must be the artist.

"Hey! Focus on the menu. Are you here for food or man?" Rain cast a disdainful glance at Tiana. 'Oh really? My sister is a fan of my rival in love? God, are you kidding me? Why can't Tiana be as considerate as Leena?' he thought to himself. More importantly, he was afraid that Tiana would realize how much Huey looked like him. He didn't want the Ke family members to know about his children's existence.

"Oh sorry. Rain, the steak here is nice. Why don't you give it a try?" Tiana turned her gaze to her brother. She had begged him to go out with her many times and he had finally agreed. She didn't want to irritate Rain.

"Sure, why not?" Rain said and turned to stare out the window. He looked sad and dejected which gave him a unique sense of beauty that passersby couldn't help but notice him.

It was very difficult for him to let Annie and the twins go. However, as long as this was what she wanted, he would respect her decision. Regardless of how much it felt like a knife was cutting his chest, he was willing to let them go as long as she was happy.

Annie and Fred were talking and joking with the kids together, and they looked like a happy family. No wonder that she had been hiding from him all these years. It seemed that Rain was the only one who had been suffering. Even the twins loved Fred and chose him instead of Rain. Rain forced a bitter smile and mocked himself, 'I'm such a loser! I thought she loved me and wanted no one but me. It turned out that I was an idiot to believe so.'

"Rain, why haven't you dated any girl all these years? Are you too picky to date one?" Tiana asked with curiosity. Since he had taken over KD Group, Tiana had never seen her brother date a girl. Rain was a rich and handsome man. It was a piece of cake for him to find a girlfriend.

"I'm not interested," Rain answered shortly. He hadn't moved on from Annie and he just couldn't accept another girl yet.

"But you are no longer young. I know some pretty girls from decent families. Why don't you give them a try?" Tiana offered. 'If Rain marries one of my friends, then our relationship will be closer, ' she thought.

"You think I need a blind date?" Rain cast a cold glance at Tiana and took a sip of his iced water. He looked so graceful and charming.

"I didn't mean it that way. I was just worried about you," murmured Tiana. She lowered her head as she didn't dare look at him in the eye.

Meanwhile, Annie was stealing glances at Rain and his companion from time to time. She couldn't help herself but wonder about who the girl was. 'Is she Rain's girlfriend? How come they don't seem to be close at all?' she thought.

"Annie, have more soup." Fred filled her bowl with soup and gave her a warm smile. She didn't eat much and he knew it was because of Rain's presence. He told himself, 'I still have a chance.'

"Mommy, Uncle Fred is talking to you," Joyce said loudly in Annie's ear when the latter didn't respond.

"What? What did you just say?" Annie regained her composure.

"Uncle Fred asked you to have more soup," said Huey. He was worried about her mother. 'It seems that mommy still loves daddy. Why can't adults just be honest with each other?' he thought.

"Uh. Okay. Thank you, Fred." To cover up her embarrassment, Annie picked up the bowl and drank the soup in a hurry.

"Take it easy," Fred said with resignation. Just then, Annie began to cough as she took a big gulp and chocked.

"Uh! Sorry. The soup is so delicious." Annie had a few tears. Fred wondered whether it was because of the coughs or because of Rain.
