It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 1701

Rain didn't wake up until noon time came. His mind was still in a whirl since he had drunk too much last night.

His hand moved to blindly find his cellphone which seemed to be lost somewhere in his bed. However, he didn't expect to see its battery drained. Frustrated, he threw it back onto the bed forcefully and staggered to the bathroom.

His knees were wobbly when he reached the wash area. A few seconds after and he was already looking at the gaunt face that was staring back at him from the mirror. He couldn't help but doubt if the man he was seeing was him. His reflection was just too far from the lively and high-spirited self he had always known.

'Annie, this is the last time that I'm allowing you to hurt me this much. From now on, I will go back to the life I had before you came. You have made me realize how worthless I am to you. Since you don't value me, I will put myself higher than you could ever reach. You can't hurt me anymore, Annie. I will not give you the chance to do it anymore, ' he thought.

There had been a lot of changes with Rain's perspective since last night. He was eager to live together with his children but he knew clearly that they loved their mother more than him. He would not be so cruel as to take them away from Annie by force. However, he hoped to at least have access to his kids. Thus, he called Annie right after he took a shower.

"Hello, Rain?" asked Annie as soon as she picked the phone up. She was a bit surprised to receive a call from him this early. Edward had said that Rain had drunk too much last night, thus, she thought that he was still asleep.

"Yes, it's me. Are you free today? I want to have a talk with you," Rain said in an unusually apathetic tone. He had controlled himself quite well that his voice came out cold and dry without any trace of emotions at all.

"How about we meet after an hour?" Annie checked her wristwatch. Little did Rain know that she was dying to talk with him too.

"I'm okay whenever you're free. Decide which place is most convenient to you," Rain said in a polite tone. However, the courteousness that he showed stung Annie's ear, thus, she thought, 'Why am I feeling that something has changed with Rain?'

The indifference in his tone made her feel sad. However, she didn't dare to ask him what was wrong, so she just said, "Okay, I will send a message to you soon."

"I'll wait for it then. See you later!" Rain hung the phone up as soon as he finished talking. It was as if the person he just talked with was just a nobody. He acted so good that no one would even think that he had loved the same woman for years.

On the other hand, Annie was stunned and was left speechless for a while. Rain had been trying to reach out to her since the day she had come. It was only her who had been avoiding him all the time. The sudden change in Rain made her really uneasy.

Although every color went well with Rain's fair skin, he never liked wearing white that much. However, he still found himself wearing a white suit today which was a little weird based on his personality.

He did nothing but to sit blankly inside his room while waiting for Annie's text. William gave him a call earlier and asked him some questions about the company. He couldn't be more thankful that his secretary didn't bother to ask why he was absent.
