Chapter 1666 Having An Affair (Part One)
Annie had to buy a lot of daily necessities since she just moved into the new apartment. She went to a
nearby supermarket together with her children after taking a rest. In the supermarket, she placed Joyce
in a shopping cart and urged Huey to grab her clothes and follow her.
"Mommy, can we buy some candies?" Joyce stared at her mother with a hopeful expression.
"No, honey. I don't want you to have bad teeth." Annie turned her down without wavering even a
second. Joyce loved eating candies and hated to brush her teeth. The little girl would even start crying
whenever she asked her to brush.
"Mommy, please! I promise I'll brush my teeth," pleaded Joyce while pursing her lips.
"Your promise is not credible. So, no!" Joyce had made the same promise more times than Annie could
count. However, her little girl would go back on her word each time.
Unlike his sister, Huey didn't even have to ask for Annie's consent. He just put the things he wanted
into the shopping cart and was indifferent to his sister's behavior.
"How come Huey can have what he wants?" complained Joyce. She felt wronged as her brother could
take whatever he wanted and she couldn't. She thought that Annie loved Huey more.
"Because the things Huey takes are not food. They are school supplies," Annie explained in a soft
voice. Huey was more mature than his twin sister. Every time Annie came to supermarkets with the
twins, Huey would take books and toys that could help develop intelligence. Annie was happy to see Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
that.
"I want candies!" Joyce looked at her mother in the eye. She knew her mother would eventually give in.
"No! You can't eat candies!" asserted Annie. She thought she should not keep spoiling Joyce.
"Waah! Mommy, you don't love me, do you? I want candies!" It was then that Joyce started to cry. She
could see it on her mother's face that she would not give her what she wanted.
"Idiot! You know nothing but eating and crying," Huey interrupted as he rolled his eyes at his sister. He
couldn't even figure out why Joyce was so naive.
"I'm not an idiot! You are a bad brother! I'm not playing with you." Joyce cried even harder.
"Okay, okay. Don't cry, baby. You can have a lollipop, okay?" Annie couldn't help but surrender to her
daughter's tears. She sighed with resignation and thought, 'It seems like being a strict mother isn't an
easy thing after all.'
"Ha! Thank you, Mommy!" Joyce smiled through tears. She cast a challenging look at Huey as if
saying, "I win!"
Annie was still attending her kids when something suddenly caught her attention. There were a
gentleman and a woman standing not far away from them and she couldn't help but be shocked by
what she saw. The two were laughing and talking while selecting groceries. They were even holding
hands and exchanging sweet gazes every once in a while. It was Leena and Kevin.
'Hold on! Isn't she Rain's wife? Why is she with this man? Oh my God! Is she having an affair behind
Rain's back?' Annie thought as she bit her lips.
Thinking of that possibility, Annie couldn't help but worry about Rain. She wondered if Rain knew that
his wife had an affair.
"Kevin, let's go buy some strawberries. Richard loves it." Leena didn't know that Annie was watching
them. She held Kevin's waist and looked at him affectionately.
"Sure. Why don't we buy all the things we need this time? I don't usually have as much free time like
today." Kevin stroked her hair softly and gave his wife a warm smile. He was about to kiss his wife
when he instantly stopped. He sensed something weird. His gut was telling him that someone was
watching them. Thus, he turned his head and looked into the direction where Annie was standing.
Annie didn't expect the man to turn and look at her. She looked away immediately and pushed the cart
away.
"What's wrong?" Leena followed Kevin's sight but saw nobody.
"Oh, nothing. Never mind," said Kevin as he patted Leena's shoulder to reassure her. It was just a
woman with two children. They couldn't be spying on them.
"I think you are overreacting," commented Leena while shaking her head. She continued to choose
some goods from the storage rack.
"It's not like that. We soldiers need to stay alert." Kevin followed Leena with their shopping cart.
Shopping with Leena was something he really enjoyed a lot in his free time. He would have shared
what he saw with Leena if only he knew Annie. However, he didn't even have a clue about who the lady
was.
Seeing his mother leave in a hurry, Huey followed her and asked in confusion, "Mommy, what's
wrong?"
"Oh, nothing. I just saw your favorite milk. Why don't we grab a carton?" Annie made an excuse as her
steps slowed. 'Gosh! Why did I overreact? The man doesn't know me. I could have just looked away
and pretended that it was nothing!'
"Sure. Thanks, Mommy." As Annie said, his favorite milk was beside them. He ran towards the storage
rack and took a carton of milk.
"Mommy, I want milk too," Joyce cried as she didn't want to lose against her brother.
"You can pick your favorite milk as well." Annie was still worried about Rain, so she kept following
Leena and Kevin. She was stealing glances at them from time to time. Her heart sank when she saw
Leena and Kevin hug and kiss each other.
Leena had never dreamed of being regarded as a woman having an affair. She was enjoying her time
with Kevin's company. They bought many things and drove back home.
The next day, Janice took a nanny to Annie's apartment. The nanny was from the Leng family. It was
really hard to find a reliable nanny in such a short time, so Janice asked for Duke's help. It was Duke
who personally arranged everything upon learning about the situation.
Annie didn't expect Janice to be such a capable person and thanked her sincerely. However, she was
feeling a little depressed as she would sooner or later meet Duke. The man was Rain's good buddy
and she didn't think it was okay for them to be close.
The day finally came. Duke's eyes were suddenly wide in shock when he realized that the designer
from Doyce Jewelry was no other than Annie.
"Mr. Leng, nice to meet you!" Annie offered a casual handshake with Duke like she didn't know him at
all. She tried her best to act normally in front of him.
"Miss An, nice to meet you too!" It was only then that Duke came to his senses and shook her hand in
a gentle way. Since Annie pretended to not know him, he decided to adopt a businesslike manner.
"I will, on behalf of Doyce Jewelry, work with you for the next two months. I'm hoping for us to have
good cooperation." Annie was in a fitted business suit. She was very professional as if her father
weren't the CEO of C Financial Group.
"We'll try out best to cooperate with you. If you have any requests or inconvenience, please let us know
and we will try to meet your requirements." Although Duke looked indifferent, he was considering how
to help his buddy court Annie on the inside.
"Why don't we start discussing our contract now? As we said before, we will charge a 40 percent
commission. If you have no objection, please sign the contract," Annie said. She was handling the
situation expertly and it seemed that she had learned a lot in the past few years. She now had this air
of a professional businesswoman.
"Here, I must say that we, YS Group, will not be responsible for any financial and legal disputes caused
by the quality of your products." Duke skimmed through the contract and put forward his requirement.
He ran two companies with great facility.
"Of course, Mr. Leng. I'd like to renew my request as well. Our designers have their own design
concepts and I hope you won't enforce your will upon us." Annie didn't like laymen making indiscreet
remarks on her work.
That statement from her made Duke furrow his brows and tap his fingers on the desk. As a
businessman, he had to consider it carefully so as to make the best decision for the company.
