Journey to Happy Ending

Chapter 1682 A Ferocious Quarrel (Part Four)

After hearing her words, Rain drew a heavy sigh. "That's true. You're right," he said, sounding a bit

defeated. "I almost forgot that you're married now and have your own children." Despite accepting the

harsh reality, he still found it difficult to forgive himself, and punched the steering wheel as hard as he

could.

"But you've never considered to accept me, right?" Annie asked softly, ignoring the way he lashed out.

At the age of 16, she fell in love with him. It never changed for the longest time. But how did he choose

to respond to her love? Escape. In order to evade her, he even left the UK, a country he loved so

much, and came back to S City. It was he who gave up on her love first. From the very beginning, it

was his choice. The choice of leaving her.

"You're not me." Rain yelled, "How can you read my mind and know what I'm thinking?" Her accusation

made him feel extremely insulted and pathetic at the same time.

"You're right," she was quick to agree. "I'm not you." She looked at him with such intense eyes,

continuing, "So I always believed that if I kept insisting my love for you, that one day, you would be

moved by my persistence. But finally, I discovered that you could be moved by anyone in the world

except me. What an ironic reality!" Since the situation reached this point, Annie gave up suppressing

her emotions and revealed her real feelings to him, pouring out all her sorrow, pain and grievance on

Rain, the man she had loved for so many years. She resented him for thinking that he was the only one

who suffered in this relationship. When in reality, it was she who bore the most pain in this relationship

all those years.

Rain laughed so hard as if it were the only way to release the pain that he felt. "Annie, what are you

talking about? If you really cared about me," he dared to say, "How would it be possible for you to

marry another man so quickly and bear his kids in such a short period?!" With such overflowing

emotions, Rain decided to let it all out, and didn't even notice his wide eyes and distorted face. He was

on the verge of breaking down.

"Yes, you're right! I couldn't wait to marry him and give birth to his children. I'm a nasty and lowly

woman. I've accepted it. Are you happy now?" Deep in her thought, Rain was the only man she wanted

to marry and bear his child. But given the situation, she failed to control her emotions due to his

incessant rage and unreasonable allegation. Despite knowing that she should have been calmer, she

couldn't help but meet his level of frustration as she had suffered so much for him.

"I..." Rain stopped himself, realizing that he was spiraling out of control. Taking a deep breath, he

regained control of his emotions and said in a soft voice, "Sorry. I didn't mean to say it."

"Let it go," Annie sniffed. "Let's continue our trip to the kindergarten, okay?" Fixing the end of her

sleeve nervously, she avoided his eyes. She didn't want to have this quarrel with him. She was

exhausted, and the conversation was nonsensical.

When Rain noticed the tears on Annie's face, he handed over the tissue to her. Feeling apologetic, he

looked at her with a mixture of remorse and regret.

Starting his car, they got back on the road in silence. During the remaining part of the trip, the awkward

silence dominated the atmosphere inside the car, leaving both of them to get lost in their own thoughts.

Annie liked the kindergarten that Rain found for her. As he had said earlier, it was in the vicinity of her

apartment. It took only a little more than ten minutes on feet. And most importantly, the kindergarten

was blessed with a sound environment.

After showing her around, Rain asked, "So? What do you think about this place? Is this okay?" After a

long while of silence and calming down, they were able to revert back to talking casually as if the

unpleasant conversation didn't take place. Like a pair of talented actor and actress, they pretended to

be good friends.

"Yes!" Annie nodded, showing her satisfaction. "That's nice with a favorable fee." The place was

charging much less than the kindergarten that Belinda recommended. And since her kids and she

weren't planning to live there for a very long time, it wasn't necessary to spend so much money on an

expensive kindergarten.

"Since you're happy with this place, it won't be so difficult for you to make a decision. Let's go," he said,

catching a glimpse of his watch. "My friend isn't here right now. But I'll inform her of this matter later."

As he had an important meeting in the afternoon, he had to speed things around a bit. It was imperative

that he caught up to the event.

Noticing his action, Annie could tell that he had other things he needed to tend to. So she said

considerately, "You can go do your thing now, Rain. My apartment is just in the vicinity. I can walk home

from here, no problem." She had already taken much of his time, so it would be better to let him go

first.

"But don't you have to go back to YS Group to get your car?" Rain asked, frowning. He could sense

that she was only trying to keep a distance from him, which gave him an unpleasant sensation in the

stomach.

"Oh, you're right. I almost forgot about that." She thought little about her car in the YS Group. Quite

frankly, it would've been fine to get it another time. But then there was the case of her visiting Leena

over the weekend, and if she didn't drive on the way there, it was going to be extremely inconvenient.

"You still act the way you used to. Often losing your mind and forgetful. Let's go pick up your car first."

Shaking his head slightly, Rain smiled at her inattention. Although a sort of fondness remained in his

heart, his voice seemed as cold as his stare. And it was these things that caught Annie's attention.

"If you're in such a hurry, I could just take a taxi," she muttered, as she truly did not want Rain to be

angry again. As she found that he was more susceptible to tantrums today, it would be better, for both

of them, that she didn't get into a situation where it was plausible to have another fight with him.

"Just relax. I still have enough time to send you back," he said, quickening his pace. Annie was

compelled to follow him. She knew he was still angry and sighed inwardly. What a temperamental man Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

he was!

After driving her back to the YS Group, he rushed towards KD Group. Had it been the meeting of FX

International Group, he wouldn't have had to be in such a haste. For KD Group, however, it was crucial

that he attended the meeting as so many people wanted to oust him from his position in the Group.

Pulling himself together, he willed himself to be cautious. He took a deep breath, and then entered the

front doors of the building.
