It'll Come Naturally

Hearing what William had said, several members of the Ke Family stood startled and recused themselves into absolute silence. FX International Group was indeed a shark in the ocean and it was clear that it wasn't to be messed with. All that was left to be done for them was to stare in cold, shameful and pitiful silence when the documents were being taken back. Yet again, another attempt to ambush Rain had ended in a disgraceful defeat for the Ke family.

As soon as he returned to the familiar atmosphere of his office, Rain threw off many documents that were lying on the table to the ground. His burning fury shone brighter than the afternoon sun. His past and his beginnings were a soft spot in his heart. Those were easy targets for anyone who wanted to infuriate him. He exploded on the inside whenever that topic was brought to discussion, even though he always managed to maintain his normal demeanor.

Previously he had been frustrated by Annie, but the new set of troubles being launched by the Ke family were hardly anticipated. If it had not been for many of the planned projects, he wouldn't have left them unharmed to wander around in the company.

"Rat-rat," William knocked the door gently before he pushed the door open and walked into the room. Witnessing the sight of the mayhem Rain had created in a few minutes, he felt frustrated but chose to let it go. He took the initiative by himself and began picking them up one by one. He wasn't going to disturb Rain and be a subject to his burning flame of fury.

"William, rush to the YS Group and ask for their Recent Events Schedule," Rain ordered. Since Annie had turned up for work this time, being its partner, YS Group would certainly possess first-hand valuable and confidential information about her.

"Yes, sir," William replied. Many questions popped up in William's over-curious head but he knew that now wasn't a good time for the questions to be asked. Previously, Rain just had to ask via phone in order to be aware of the affairs of the YS Group. But this time around, he chose to send William in person to run his errands. That seemed to confer a high degree of importance to this mission.

Rain shut his eyes as though in search of a world of peace. The invincible CEO had been challenged and weakened both mentally and physically. The atmosphere around him seemed to choke him with suspicion and rage. He was feeling more and more defeated in this whole battle.

Annie didn't return home until several hours later. The handful of bags accompanying her conveyed the fact that she had indeed bought a lot.

"Mommy, didn't you have an appointment with someone important today? How did you manage to buy so many things in spite of it?!" Huey stared at her in dumbfounded silence perfused with lack of facial expressions. He then chose to walk a few steps ahead and lend his hand to her.

"We went to have coffee. Later, I did a bit of shopping. I still had some time left so I went to buy something for you and Joyce," Annie answered, with a smile. It had been a long time since they spent time with each other so peacefully last time, so Annie was satisfied with a cup of coffee.

"Wow! There're so many beautiful clothes. Thank you, mommy, I love them," Joyce exclaimed happily. Joyce had been playing in her room but she lost interest in her game when she heard her mother's voice. When her eyes fell on the shopping bag, her excitement magnified. Even though she was very young, she had an affinity towards everything beautiful.

"Don't be in such a hurry, love. Your hair is a mess," Annie said while stretching her hands to tidy her daughter's hair. Growing up in a rich family, she was used to tidiness. Even a small mess was enough to put her in a foul mood.

"Mommy, this is Huey's fault. He threw a pillow at me and my hair became messy," the little girl replied in her defense. She looked rather sad at being accused by her mom.

"Huey, do you remember what I said to you before I went out? I told you to be friendly to your sister. You both have to get along rather than fight with each other," Annie frowned after she said this. She knew better than to expect obedience from him.

"Mommy, why do you trust her more than me? The reason I threw the pillow on her was because she cluttered my puzzles. I completed it with great difficulty but she spoiled it all. Moreover, I didn't exert much strength to the pillow. I threw it very lightly. Her hair had been messy from the very start, so don't blame me for it," Huey explained, pouting. He had known that his mother would be on his sister's side. He had seen this happen so many times yet it made him sad.

"Joyce, is your brother speaking the truth?" Annie asked, straightening her face. She noticed how aggrieved her son was by her words. She was more strict with him than with his sister but that didn't mean she loved him any less. He was the only male in the family and she felt compelled to make him behave well.

"Sorry! I didn't do it on purpose. I did this only because Huey didn't play with me," the little girl said while holding her clothes tight with her hands. Her eyes got moist and it was evident that she was about to cry.Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

"I told you to wait a minute for me, but you didn't listen!" Huey said. Every-time his younger sister misbehaved, he felt annoyed and impatient.

"Okay. Now you two petty belligerents shake your hands like two gentlemen and bury all your enmity and hatred once and for all. It'd be beneficial if both of you find reasons why you were wrong rather than right," Annie said in one swift delivery before she stood up and headed upstairs. Her eyes had gone red with sadness. She always yearned for a pillar of support whenever incidents such as these happened. It had gotten more and more difficult lately for her to shoulder all the responsibilities of the family.

Looking at their mother's highly emotional state, both of the kids regretted having gotten their beloved mother there. After all, they both loved their mother very much.

"Huey, I will not ruin your things again. You've my word. Can you forgive me?" Joyce asked. Girls had a delicate and flexible mind even during early childhood, or so it seemed for now.

"I'm sorry! It was partly my fault too. You wouldn't have had to ruin my things if it wasn't for my perpetual ignorance towards you," Huey suddenly felt the urgent need for him to gain some broad mindedness. His mother had told him sometime ago in a tender tone that as the little man of the family, he was entitled to protect his mother and his sister and take genuine care of them.

"I forgive you. Can I get a hug?," Joyce pleaded playfully. The elder brother and the younger sister hugged each other happily, with which the conflict ridden atmosphere seemed to vanish into thin air. With a smile, they became model siblings, yet again.0000000000☐☐☐☐☐☐
