It'll Come Naturally
Chapter 1716 I Will Be With You As Long As You Want Me (Part One)

Huey didn't know that things could change so fast, almost overnight. When he opened his eyes, everything was different, like his life had completely changed in the blink of an eye. He was overwhelmed with excitement and happiness. So, when he saw Rain, he immediately ran towards him and threw himself into his father's arms. It was the first time that he could act like a boy his age. Huey had always maintained a cool and collected facade. It was rare for him to show his true feelings.

"Daddy, are we going to live with you forever from now on? We will not be apart again, right?" Huey's small voice trembled with barely contained excitement, but also fear at his father's answer. After years without a father, his joy was only marred by the threat of losing Rain again.

"Yes! Does that make you happy?" Rain assured him with a huge hug and a sound kiss on his cheek. He was also thrilled that he finally had a family of his own, and he couldn't wait to start the new chapter of his life with them.

"Yes! I am really, really happy!" It was understandable why Huey was this happy. Because now, he was finally like other kids and had two parents. He finally had a mommy and a daddy. He finally had a whole family like he had always wanted.

Being reunited with your family was a joy which couldn't be articulated to others. At the prospect of living happily together from now on, Huey's little heart skipped a beat. Always a cautious child he was aware that there were people who could be jealous and petty and threaten their contentment. He had already decided in his young mind that he would fight for his new family. No one was going to steal their joy.

Back at the FX International Group.

"Congratulations! I heard that Annie 'actually' said yes to your proposal," Edward said with a teasing grin. In fact, his heart was really happy for Rain, and it showed in his easy smile. He was glad that Rain had found Annie and that they had been able to make up. Life was full of surprises and it had gifted them with two beautiful children. Now, Rain also had a family that he could call his own.

"Thanks! I appreciate it, and of course she said yes." Rain couldn't stop smiling, his face glowed with joy. His life finally seemed complete. Since Annie had agreed to marry him, his face had lit up incandescently.

"When is the wedding ceremony? I can't wait for it. It will be a good opportunity for all of us to get together and celebrate your good fortune to have finally found love." They were all busy, and the opportunities for them to get together and have fun were becoming fewer. With their own families to take care of, there just wasn't much time during the past two years, especially since they started having children. Responsibilities and age had changed their previous carefree lifestyles.

"We haven't decided, yet. I will have to go back to the UK with her first." Rain had already begun preparing for the meeting with Annie's family in the UK. There were a lot of things that he needed to explain to them to assure them enough so that they would let Annie marry him. It seemed that he had a lot of groveling to do. That was why they hadn't even talked about the wedding ceremony, but now that Edward mentioned it, they needed to take care of that swiftly.

"Oh, then you should prepare for it with some careful consideration. I am certain that her family will not easily accept you, especially if they know that she left home because of you." Edward intentionally feigned serious concern, making the trip sound scary. In fact, he had heard that the CEO of the C Financial Group was a very reasonable man, so he wouldn't intentionally make Rain's life harder by not letting Annie marry him. Rain didn't have much to worry about.

"Yeah, I am aware of that. But it's all right. I deserve anything they do to me. It was indeed my fault that Annie left home. As long as they let Annie marry me and give us their blessing, I don't care what punishment they choose to impose." Rain smiled recklessly, for he was truly not afraid of meeting her family or getting chastised by them. He knew what he had done wrong and he was ready to own up. He would not give up so easily. God gave him a second chance to be with Annie and their beautiful kids, and he would not let the precious chance slip through his fingers again.

"That's good to hear. But about the KD Group... You should be careful of them. I am afraid..." Edward's worry was legitimate. Maybe they couldn't do anything to Rain, but they now had a soft target to aim at with his new family. Edward worried that they would choose to threaten Rain's children and Annie, because they were now his vulnerability.

"Yeah, I have considered it too. I have to be extremely careful and ensure that they are well protected. That brings me to the reason why I am here. I know that your father has contacts with some good bodyguards, right? Can I borrow two professionals from him? I want them to secretly follow and protect the kids and Annie, around the clock, in case something happens which threatens them." Rain knew that there was a big possibility that the people in the KD Group would want to hurt Annie and the kids to get back at him. So, he had to be prepared. His first thought, concerning their safety, was that Edward's father (being the leader of a secret organization), must have some really good bodyguards who were trained in such matters.

"I see. I will speak to him this evening when I get home. There shouldn't be any problems. But I have to warn you that he hasn't been in a good mood recently. So, the price of borrowing bodyguards from him might be exorbitantly high." Edward shrugged helplessly. Recently, the atmosphere at their home was chilled with confrontations between his parents.

"Why is that? Does it have something to do with your mom? Maybe she stared at some other handsome guy and made your dad jealous?" Rain asked, his curiosity piqued. In fact, things like that constantly happened with Edward's parents.

"Something like that," Edward grumbled, not knowing what to say about his parents. They were both over fifty, but sometimes, they still acted like children with endless bickering and squabbling.

"Okay, fine. If that's what it takes, then I will have to pay a lot," Rain said with a helpless sigh, pretending to be sad at spending extra money. But in fact, he was never short of money. He just hoped that Edward's father would not give him a hard time, and make the arrangements swiftly.

"Just pray to God to let the two of them make up soon." The corners of Edward's lips lifted into a sardonic smirk. It was somewhat entertaining to watch his friend agonize about these minor details.

"All right, all right. As long as he is happy and agrees to lend me some bodyguards, I don't mind spending extra money." Rain was unconcerned about the money. Annie and his children were now his priority. He rose and prepared to leave.00000000
