It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 1709

"Great! Uncle Fred, you are the best. I love you the most!" Joyce was like a little chameleon. She unconditionally loved anyone who fulfilled her every request. Huey shook his head at his sister.

"Huey, why the face? Aren't you excited about the picnic?" Annie asked when she noticed that her son had remained silent throughout the trip. She turned to look at him.

"I am. I just miss Daddy." Three days had passed since they had last met. Huey could tell that his Daddy was a busy man and that he didn't have time to visit them.

Annie didn't know how to comfort him. So she told him the truth, "Daddy is very busy with work, Huey. He doesn't have time to meet us now." Belinda had said that Rain had gone out of town for some business purpose. It was odd that he hadn't said when he would come back or hadn't even called the kids in the past three days.

"I understand that he is busy. I am not blaming him for ignoring us. I'm just worried about him. We live together and can take care of each other. But Daddy lives alone. What if he gets sick?" Huey asked with a concerned look. He was very mature and considerate, almost like an adult.

"Umm..." Annie was at a loss of words. Even she hadn't thought of such a thing, while her little son had.

Fred frowned and began to worry as Huey's words showed that the kids really loved their father. They had only been reunited a few days back and they were already so close. Was it because Rain was his biological father?

Joyce looked confused by her brother's words. "Huey, Daddy has a butler. Don't you remember? We met him the other day," said Joyce, naively. She was just like all girls her age. She only saw the surface of things and this irritated Huey.

"He's just a butler, not a family member," Huey raised his voice, as he tried desperately to prove his point to his sister who lacked any principle.

"Mommy! Huey is shouting at me again!" Joyce said, crying. She was brought up from a very young age assuming that girls should be spoiled. So she thought that it was natural that everyone gave her what she wanted. That was why Joyce couldn't tolerate any sharp words, even if they were from her brother.

"Don't worry. He's just joking with you." Annie scooped her daughter up in her arms. She spoiled Joyce because that was how she was raised too. Annie was from a rich and powerful family and had grown up with everyone being kind and polite to her. And that was why she was so immature about dealing with problems in her life. Even though Annie had gone through tough days because of that, she just couldn't alter something that was deeply embedded in her heart. Annie didn't know how to teach her daughter to be different either, and continued to spoil her.
