Journey to Happy Ending

Chapter 1703 Any Importance (Part Three)

Annie didn't leave the cafe until more than an hour later. She had been thinking the whole time since

Rain left. She had meant to tell Rain that she had agreed to move into his house together with the kids

in order to see how they would get along with one another. Never had she expected all his vicious blow

though. She hadn't even been given a chance to talk.

She made a call to YS Group and advised that she would be absent for the afternoon. Her heart was

aching too much and she didn't think that she could work properly with how emotionally drained she

was. Rather, she drove straight back home.

"Mommy, you're back. Why are you home so early today?" Both the kids were very happy to see her

because she generally had only a little time to be with them. They had used to be together with the

housekeeper for most of the time back when they had been in Phuket.

"Because you're going to kindergarten tomorrow! I want to play with you before you guys get busy,"

Annie answered. She had been working on making the kids familiar with S City. She believed that it

was time for them to meet new friends.

"Really? Yey! We can meet new teachers and new friends tomorrow!" Joyce was quite happy to hear

what her mother said. She was so giggling and it was easy to see that she wasn't even affected by all

the things that had happened to them recently.

"Hmm! Are you happy?" Annie stroked her daughter's hair and forced a smile on her lips.

"Of course I am! It's boring at home," Joyce answered. Children always like being together with as

many people as possible.

"Mommy, are we staying here in S City for good?" However, Huey was not so happy as Joyce. He had

always been maturer than his sister and could read through situations well.

"No. We will probably go back to Phuket after the Spring Festival. Why? Do you want us to stay here?"

Annie's eyes went milder as she stared at Huey. Huey looked exactly like Rain and looking at her son

usually gave Annie the feeling that she was looking at Rain.

"I want it here because daddy is here!" Huey said. His sister could have all the freedom in the world to

like Uncle Fred but he only liked his father.

Annie quickly stood up and walked into her bedroom after hearing Huey. She didn't know how to tell

him that it would be impossible for her and his father to get together again. What had happened earlier

already marked the end for them. She had already let their last chance slip between her fingers in

exchange for her poor pride.

"Huey, what's wrong with mommy? Did you make her sad?" The little girl asked while pouting. She felt

that Huey was the one to blame for her mother's sadness.

"It's all your fault. Why did you tell Uncle Fred where we live?!" Huey got angry too. If Uncle Fred hadn't

come to their house, then their father wouldn't have caught their mother and their Uncle Fred together

repeatedly. That could have lessened the misunderstanding between their parents greatly!

"You're annoying. Didn't Uncle Fred buy a toy for you?" Joyce's eyes turned red and it seemed that she

would burst into tears at any time.

"I don't want his toy at all! I only want daddy," Huey yelled to her. There were times when he really

hated her princess' syndrome, though she was his own sister.

"But I like Uncle Fred. He's better than Daddy. Daddy doesn't want us," The little girl stomped her foot This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

stubbornly. Despite the tears in her eyes, she didn't cry out.

"Who says that daddy doesn't want us? The truth is that he didn't even know we exist!" Huey said. It

was said that boys were more likely to like their fathers. Obviously, it was true with how Huey behaved.

"I don't care about that. I like Uncle Fred more than daddy!" Joyce contradicted him aloud in an

imposing manner. She refused to admit defeat. It was said that a daughter was the lover of her father in

their previous life, but it seemed that Rain's daughter was his enemy.

"That's your business! Never fight against me about daddy in future!" Huey left in anger. He was really

matured despite his young age. Perhaps, children who were growing up in a single parent family knew

things better.

"I won't! Hmp!" The little girl was still unwilling to admit her defeat. She even straightened her little back

in a proud manner.

Early in the next morning, Annie sent the twins to kindergarten. She was about to pay for their tuition

fees when she received the news that somebody else had already paid for them.

Annie felt unhappy about that. She guessed that it might be Rain who did and it irritated her that he

didn't even tell her in advance. Was it that difficult to call her and let her know? Everything he did was

making her embarrassed. It was as if they were both hiding skeletons from each other's closet.

It was still early when she arrived at the company. She planned to do what had been left undone

yesterday afternoon. However, things didn't work out as she expected.

"Ms. An, I thought you would keep avoiding me for the rest of your life," Eleanor said. She didn't really

have any work schedule today but she came to YS Group early in the morning. She wanted to block

Annie's way and ask her some questions. In fact, she had come here yesterday afternoon too. It was

unfortunate that Annie hadn't been here though.

"What do you exactly mean?" Annie said without even raising her head. She knew that matching

Eleanor's rudeness would only cause more troubles. There was definitely no doubt that Eleanor was

after one right now.

"Don't play the fool. Tell me! What's your real relationship with Rain? Why does your son look so like

him?" Eleanor asked vulgarly. The manner she pushed Annie verbally made her look far from the star

she was.

"I'm entitled of my own privacy and you don't have any say with that," Annie said with a cold smile. She

suddenly thought that letting Eleanor wear her designs would be a great insult to her art.

"Why don't I have the right? Rain is the one I want to marry. How could that have nothing to do with

me?" Eleanor said and thought, 'Since you're married, you should help your husband and bring up your

children. Why are you even fighting for Rain?'

"It's your life and that's none of my business. If you feel that I'm stopping you, oh please stop worrying.

As you can see, I have a happy family," Annie told a lie in order to escape from Eleanor's inquiry.

However, she should have chosen to be more domineering by telling her that Rain was indeed the

father of her children. She was curious anyway of what Eleanor would say if ever she found out about

that fact.

"That couldn't be better. You should know that Rain will finally be my man. Thus, you'd better not

attempt to play any trick if you're wise enough," said Eleanor. What Annie said made her feel relieved.

Even if Annie had Rain's children as she guessed, Annie was married to another man. Therefore, she

wasn't of any importance.
