It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 1715

"I'm not tired. It's a pleasure to take care of my kid. But I may need a good bath." Just like Edward, Rain too was a germophobe. He paid excessive attention to personal hygiene.

"Okay, go then." Annie avoided meeting his passionate gaze. She was overwhelmed by his enthusiasm tonight.

Rain lowered his head and planted a gentle kiss on Joyce's forehead, before turning around and leaving the room.

After he left, Annie glanced around the room with curiosity. The room had pink sheets, pink curtains and pink furniture. Everything was pink. It was the kind of room that appeared in the fantasies of every little girl who wished she was a princess.

Annie was struck by tangled feelings when she thought about starting their new life. Whether or not their life would be happy - Annie didn't know yet. But she should at least give it a try, not just for her sake but for the kids.

Rain finished with his shower and walked in Joyce's room, seeing that Annie had already fallen asleep by Joyce's side. Annie had been exhausted. She had been running around with the kids all day, and at night, Joyce had fallen ill. Annie's energy was consumed up. Fatigue got the better of her and she dozed off.

Rain picked her up in his arms silently and tucked her in beside Joyce. He sat on the chair beside the bed. Tom had said that Joyce would need extra attention during the night. Rain didn't dare go to sleep, fearing that Joyce might get feverish once again.

Next morning, Annie blinked open her eyes, feeling that something was amiss. Yes, it was the room that Joyce had stayed in last night. But where was Joyce? She was not beside her. Besides, why was she lying in bed? She didn't remember having gone to bed last night.

"Joyce! Joyce!" Annie got up and walked out of the room without even wearing her shoes.

As she walked toward the stairs, she heard joyful laughter coming from the dining room. The sound was familiar to her. It was indeed Joyce.

Doubtful, Annie walked down the stairs. Joyce was sitting on Rain's lap and eating porridge. He was feeding her with a spoon. She looked better after a good night's sleep.

"Mommy!" Joyce blurted out in excitement. Her eyes had moved toward Annie as she came down.

Rain raised his head. He frowned at the sight of Annie's bare feet and put Joyce in her chair, walking toward his fiancée.

"Why didn't you wear your shoes? Don't you feel cold walking barefoot?" He lifted Annie up without hesitation. She was startled by his sudden action and yelped, wrapping her arms around his neck instinctively.

"Haha! Mommy, you are an adult. You don't need Daddy to hold you." Joyce clapped her hands merrily, making fun of her mother.

"Rain, put me down. Joyce is looking at us!" Annie's face was flushed. Joyce was rather mischievous, and that made her all the more embarrassed.

"Now you're embarrassed. Remember to put on your shoes next time. It's winter now, not summer." Rain put her down on a chair. He bent down and touched her feet with his hands. Her feet were freezing.
