"Okay. I got it. Don't get drunk again," Tiana warned. She frowned when she knew that Rain's wife would worry greatly about him if he failed to come back home on time. He got drunk two times last week!
"Trust me. I know what I'm doing. If I ever get drunk again, my wife would lock the door and throw away the key!" Rain said, laughing awkwardly. This was partly true. He didn't want to rely solely on the huge power and reach of the FX International Group. He was working really hard these days. He had made strides, but he still needed to be alert.
"Be cafeful, bro! I'm going home now. See you later, 'kay?" said Tiana with her sweet smile as she waved farewell. Then she opened the car door and smoothly climbed inside.
"Okay. Drive safely!" Rain closed the car door for her and stood there until her car pulled away far enough that he couldn't see it anymore. He then turned around and entered the company's main building.
That night, Rain got home drunk again. William, his ever-faithful secretary, sent him home. When Annie saw her husband in a drunken stupor, she couldn't help but worry.
"Rain, why did you get drunk again?" Annie asked, her brows furrowed, hands on her waists. She knew she couldn't trust Rain to hold his liquor. He got drunk anyway.
He looked at his wife, smiling mischievously. "Oh, hey honey! Why are you still awake?" asked Rain slowly. Rain was still amazingly conscious, even when he drank tons of wine at the dinner. When he saw Annie, he got up and dragged himself to kiss her.
"Here I am waiting for you to come home. You don't need to work so hard. You've done enough!" pleaded Annie. She felt sorry for her husband. Rain had refused all outside help and was determined to start from scratch. He was so sure that he would succeed in building his own new world.
"I'm fine, okay? You know I'm doing all of this for you and our children. I love you, honey," Rain replied, drunkenly. His eyes were squinted, and he had a goofy grin on his face. Rain was a husband, a father, as well as a brother right now. He had to take care of his wife, his sister and his children all at the same time. He knew he had to keep them safe from all and any dangers.
"I said you were dumb. Don't you believe me?" asked Annie. He then took his arm and helped him walk upstairs. Annie took him to the bedroom and they both sat on the silk covers. She was touched by what Rain said. He was full of determination and confidence. However, she didn't want this constant worrying. She wanted to live a simple and comfortable life with her husband and children. But nowadays, she could only talk to her husband at night, when he came home late. This life was driving her mad.
"But you still love me, don't you?" asked Rain. He held her shoulders and pushed her down the bed, then kissed her roughly with intense passion.
"I guess I also got dumb." Annie started taking off his coat and shoes. Everytime he got home drunk like this, he would say silly words that would often make her blush.
"That's more like it. A dumb husband and a dumb wife, a match made in heaven," Rain said while half-chuckling. Rain smiled lovingly at his wife. Now, he could feel her love for him.
