It'll Come Naturally
Chapter 1695 A Fuss (Part One)

"There's no need to say hello to them. Why don't we order our food?" Rain said in a low voice as he tried his best to not look at Annie and the twins. He was dying to go there and hug his kids, but he didn't want to make them cry again. "Rain, don't you think the man looks familiar? He looks like Fred Chen, the Prince of Music. He is really popular these days." Tiana took a close look at the man and thought that he must be the artist.

"Hey! Focus on the menu. Are you here for food or man?" Rain cast a disdainful glance at Tiana. 'Oh really? My sister is a fan of my rival in love? God, are you kidding me? Why can't Tiana be as considerate as Leena?' he thought to himself. More importantly, he was afraid that Tiana would realize how much Huey looked like him. He didn't want the Ke family members to know about his children's existence.

"Oh sorry. Rain, the steak here is nice. Why don't you give it a try?" Tiana turned her gaze to her brother. She had begged him to go out with her many times and he had finally agreed. She didn't want to irritate Rain.

"Sure, why not?" Rain said and turned to stare out the window. He looked sad and dejected which gave him a unique sense of beauty that passersby couldn't help but notice him.

It was very difficult for him to let Annie and the twins go. However, as long as this was what she wanted, he would respect her decision. Regardless of how much it felt like a knife was cutting his chest, he was willing to let them go as long as she was happy.

Annie and Fred were talking and joking with the kids together, and they looked like a happy family. No wonder that she had been hiding from him all these years. It seemed that Rain was the only one who had been suffering. Even the twins loved Fred and chose him instead of Rain. Rain forced a bitter smile and mocked himself, 'I'm such a loser! I thought she loved me and wanted no one but me. It turned out that I was an idiot to believe so.'

"Rain, why haven't you dated any girl all these years? Are you too picky to date one?" Tiana asked with curiosity. Since he had taken over KD Group, Tiana had never seen her brother date a girl. Rain was a rich and handsome man. It was a piece of cake for him to replace a girlfriend.

"I'm not interested," Rain answered shortly. He hadn't moved on from Annie and he just couldn't accept another girl yet.

"But you are no longer young. I know some pretty girls from decent families. Why don't you give them a try?" Tiana offered. 'If Rain marries one of my friends, then our relationship will be closer,' she thought.

"You think I need a blind date?" Rain cast a cold glance at Tiana and took a sip of his iced water. He looked so graceful and charming.

"I didn't mean it that way. I was just worried about you," murmured Tiana. She lowered her head as she didn't dare look at him in the eye.

Meanwhile, Annie was stealing glances at Rain and his companion from time to time. She couldn't help herself but wonder about who the girl was. 'Is she Rain's girlfriend? How come they don't seem to be close at all?' she thought.

"Annie, have more soup." Fred filled her bowl with soup and gave her a warm smile. She didn't eat much and he knew it was because of Rain's presence. He told himself, 'I still have a chance.'

"Mommy, Uncle Fred is talking to you," Joyce said loudly in Annie's ear when the latter didn't respond.

"What? What did you just say?" Annie regained her composure.

"Uncle Fred asked you to have more soup," said Huey. He was worried about her mother. 'It seems that mommy still loves daddy. Why can't adults just be honest with each other?' he thought.

"Uh. Okay. Thank you, Fred." To cover up her embarrassment, Annie picked up the bowl and drank the soup in a hurry.

"Take it easy," Fred said with resignation. Just then, Annie began to cough as she took a big gulp and chocked.

"Uh! Sorry. The soup is so delicious." Annie had a few tears. Fred wondered whether it was because of the coughs or because of Rain.

Fred picked up a tissue and wiped her tears gently. Rain happened to see his action and cursed him in his mind. How he wished he could go to them and cut Fred's hand off! He also blamed Annie for not stopping Fred. "Mr. Xia, it's really you! What a coincidence! I didn't expect to meet you here." Eleanor walked up to their table and greeted Rain with a big smile. She really didn't expect to meet Rain here. Thus, she was thrilled. "Hi, Miss Xiao," greeted Rain with a frown. He didn't like this woman.

"Ahhh! You're Eleanor Xiao, aren't you? You are more beautiful than how you look on TV!" Tiana cried in disbelief. Like ordinary boys and girls, she had a kind of worship for film stars and she liked Eleanor very much.

"Really? Thank you." Eleanor answered coldly and looked down at Tiana. She was as proud as a peacock. She was wondering about the relationship between Rain and Tiana. 'It doesn't matter if she is Mr. Xia's girlfriend. I can easily snatch him from her. I'm better than her in every aspect,' she thought.

"Miss Xiao, are you here for lunch?" Tiana asked with a big grin. She didn't even notice the disdain in Eleanor's eyes. She had just graduated from university and was still simple-minded. That was the reason that Rain didn't hate her, even though she was also a member of the Ke family. "Yes. May I join in?" Eleanor asked while staring at Rain. However, he didn't even look at her. He just stared out the window like he was attracted by something outside. Well, actually, he was looking at the reflection of Annie and the twins on the glass.

"Sure. We just arrived and the dishes are not served yet." Tiana was thrilled as she had the chance to have dinner with a celebrity like Eleanor.

"Mr. Xia, are you okay with it?" Although Tiana said yes, Eleanor didn't dare to sit down and asked for Rain's approval.

"Just sit," answered Rain briefly. Tiana was a chatterbox and he was really in no mood to chat with her. He thought Tiana could talk with Eleanor so that he could remain quiet. "Thank you, Mr. Xia!" Eleanor was excited at Rain's consent. She immediately sat down as she was afraid that Rain would change his mind at any minute.

Annie's face turned pale when she saw this.

'So, Eleanor is one of Rain's women. No wonder she was so arrogant. But if the two are both his women, how can they be so at peace with each other?' Annie thought to herself.

"Annie, how's your work?" Fred asked as he tried to draw back Annie's attention. The lady was blankly staring at Rain's table and the scene there got Fred confused. 'Rain did see Annie but why didn't he come to her? I thought Annie and the twins were moving to his house but then they didn't. What happened between them?'

"Oh, not bad," Annie answered. If Eleanor had been more cooperative, the work would have been much easier.

"Is there a possibility that you can finish your work and return ahead of time?" Fred asked again. The sooner Annie left the country, the more possible she would be with him.

"I don't think so. Why?" As Eleanor was not cooperating, Annie's schedule might be postponed. Actually, she also wanted to leave the country as soon as possible since she was feeling more depressed with the thought that Rain was just in the same city.

"Nothing. It's just an idle question." Fred stole a glance at Rain. He had searched for his information online but only knew that he was the VP of FX International Group and the CEO of KD Group.

A few minutes after and they lapsed into silence again. The atmosphere was becoming weirder and weirder every passing second.

On the other hand, Eleanor and Tiana were chatting happily with each other.☐☐☐¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶
