It'll Come Naturally
Chapter 1754 My Own Sister (Part One)

"I'm not making fun of you. You used to be such a jerk. You've changed a lot since you got married," Edward said as he picked up the papers from his desk. He was about to go to the army base in a little while, so he was in a bit of a hurry. "Well, thanks." Rain thought he could forego the modesty since Edward rarely praised him.

He nodded and gave a little smile. "Hey, read these documents. I'm going to the base now." He handed the documents over, grabbed his keys and headed out the door. It looked like he would leave without even waiting for a response. "What? Are you serious? I have a lot on my plate right now," Rain had to make a point to refuse him.

"That's your business, not mine. Don't forget, you're still vice president of FX International." His tone was firm, and it didn't give Rain a chance to turn him down. Edward merely shrugged and left.

Rain groaned. 'I just found my own sister,' he thought to himself, 'I should be heading back and celebrating right now...but Edward left me with all these documents.'

With a resigned sigh, he had no choice but to read the papers he was left with.

It was almost eight in the evening when he finished reading the documents. 'What a devil...' he quietly cursed Edward for the workload.

"What took you so long?" Tiana briskly walked down the steps as soon as she saw Rain. She missed him at the company, and found out through William that he was out on business.

"I had to do some overtime.

Where's Annie?" She looks so much like my mother, 'Rain thought as he stared at her. He used to hate her before, when he would mistake her for Sheena's daughter. He hadn't yet realized how much she looked like his mother. "She and the kids went to Leena's house. They'll be back later."

Speaking of Leena, Tiana still felt guilty, thinking that Leena could've nearly had a miscarriage because of her.

"And you?

Have you eaten yet?"

Rain figured that Kevin was out on a mission, or Leena wouldn't have called Annie and the kids over to her place.

"Yeah, I'm good. You haven't eaten yet though, have you?"

She frowned. She thought it was a little odd, the way Rain was looking at her.

"Not yet, I just got back from FX International Group." He wasn't sure how to express his excitement, so he stayed quiet and just looked at her.

"I'll have the cook prepare something for you, then."

Something about his tone made her nervous, so she used preparing dinner as an excuse to walk away. His eyes always put her under pressure.

He pursed his lips, but didn't care much about her avoiding him. He had a lot of time to approach the matter anyway.

"Tiana, come here."

Rain had a knack for controling his emotions.

"I'm coming," she called out to him after asking the cook to prepare dinner. She didn't sit next to him, though, and instead just stood beside him, glancing at him from the side. "What are you doing there?

Sit down." He softened his tone when he realized that she might be his own sister. It would make quite a difference in his behavior towards her.

"I just thought you were acting a little strange tonight... so I felt flustered," she said nervously, wondering hard about what he was going to tell her - if he was going to make her leave. She had said she wanted to leave in the past, but in truth, she hated leaving him. "What are you panicking about? I'm not going to eat you," he smiled.

"When did I become someone scary?"

She gave a tight smile. "I know... it's just something about your eyes, I think." "I can't point out what exactly is different, but I trust my instincts, they never lie,' she thought quietly to herself. Her instincts were telling her to leave right then and there. "Do you want to know why?"

Maybe it was because he had grown a little sick of her in the past, even if he knew that she was his sister, he couldn't treat her like Leena.

"Yes." Recently, being far away from all the harassment of the Ke family, she was happy enough. However, she still couldn't help feeling bad at the thought that the relationship between her and Rain was nonexistent. "Have you ever thought you might be my sister?"

His words were hard to comprehend. She had to pause for a moment before clarifying.

"I don't understand what you're talking about." 'Didn't he say I'm not Sanford's daughter? In that case, how on earth could I be his sister?' she thought.

"My mother had a daughter once, but the nurse told her that the baby died at birth."

He stopped there. He didn't want to be too blunt until he got an exact answer.

"Your mother must be very sad about that."

It was the first time that Rain mentioned his mother in front of her, which made her even more baffled.

"Yes... but the nurse lied to her. Isn't that insane?" His eyes were almost glassy as he spoke about it. If the nurse hadn't lied, his mother might still be alive.

Tiana's eyebrows knitted in confusion. "You mean, the baby didn't die?"

Her eyes widened.

"Yes. And if I'm right, that girl is standing in front of me right now,"

he finally said, with excitement in his eyes.

"Y-you mean.......I'm your sister?" She couldn't believe her ears, but those were undoubtedly his words.

"I'm not entirely sure. I need you to take a DNA test... Would you be willing to do that with me?"

Rain just asked straight, now that he had already told her.

"Wait, what? You think I'm your sister? That's impossible." Tiana fell back on her chair in shock. It was too much and too exciting for her, so she needed time to process it.

"Look, I'm serious. You have to trust me."

In truth, Rain just really wanted to give his mother an answer. Whether or not she was his sister, he would treat her like one.

"So if the results from the DNA tests match, that would prove I'm your sister?" She asked, still recovering from shock of the news. If she was his sister, she would have a family. Wasn't that all she'd ever wanted? All she had ever hoped for? "Yes... So, are you willing to come with me?"

He looked at her expectantly, but he knew he wouldn't push her if she didn't actually want to.

His eyes lit up when she replied, though. "Yes, I want to go."

Her words were heavy, as if she had just voiced out a life changing decision.

"Don't worry.

No matter what the results show, I'll treat you as my own sister." Rain had no habit of making such promises to others, but he was sure to keep those he made.

'Strike while the iron is hot,' he thought. The very next day, the two went to get the DNA test. The waiting period was a strange time. Both of them were in rather unstable moods, but they got along normally.

When they saw the result, it was exactly what they wanted to see. Tiana and Rain's DNA was a 99.9% match. She was his sister, his real sister. They shared blood.

He didn't know how to express his joy with words, so he enveloped Tiana in a sudden tight hug instead.

"Oh my god!

You're my sister! I actually found you...finally!" It felt like a huge weight was off his heart. He had a strong feeling that replaceing his sister was the greatest comfort he could ever imagine offering to his late mother.00
