Journey to Happy Ending

Chapter 1680 A Ferocious Quarrel (Part Two)

"I think you don't love him anymore. You've shifted your love to me," he said hastily. 'All right!' thought

Rain triumphantly. It had been a while since Rain last played mind games with Belinda. Now he was

interested in playing it all over again, particularly now that someone else had joined them in the room.

As Belinda was about to refute him, a cold voice spoke to them, "Am I invisible to the two of you?" Both

were taken aback from hearing the allegation. Shifting their gaze from each other, they looked at the

culprit who spoke to them.

As soon as Belinda recognized the person, a big smile unfolded on her face, her bantering with Rain all

but forgotten. She spoke, her voice all sweet and flirtatious. "Haha, honey. Why didn't you tell me that

you were here?" Under her radiant smile, a weird and unpleasant feeling settled in her stomach. It

seemed that she was trapped by Rain, that awful lady boy. He must have seen her husband

approaching them, and tricked her into saying those words.

Ignoring the exaggerated smile on his wife's face, Duke replied cold heartedly, "If I didn't show up here,

I think you might've gone with another man," And as he spoke, his gaze shifted between Belinda and

Rain. His cold facial expression made his wife forget everything, and wait in anticipation of Duke's next

words.

"Hey, hey, Mr. Cold. You saw it yourself. It was your wife chasing after me rather than the other way

around. Don't you go beating me to a pulp, okay?" Rain said with an innocent face. Secretly, he

relished the possibility of seeing the couple have a fight. If that happened, it would be a rather fun and

interesting form of entertainment.

"Just shut up!"

"You shut up!"

Simultaneously, the couple berated Rain to stop talking. Both stared at him like they were only seeing

red, which signaled Rain that it was time to get out of their face.

"Woops," he said feigning remorse. "If you guys want me to shut up, I will gladly take my leave. Maybe

then, when I'm gone, you guys can carry on with your lovers' quarrel." Although he hadn't forgotten

about his priorities, Belinda Chick being reprimanded by her cold and jealous husband amused him to

no end, and thus, as soon as he stirred another round of trouble for her, he made a quick run for it.

Another reason why he dashed away from the couple was the enraged look he got from Duke.

"Hey you!" Belinda shouted after him. "You can't just go away now, Lady boy Rain!" As she knew well

how jealous her husband could be, Belinda needed Rain to stay and explain on her behalf. Otherwise,

it would be nearly impossible to convince her husband by herself.

Her outburst, however, was misinterpreted by Duke. He took her words in a completely wrong sense,

and said scathingly, "What's the matter? Don't want him to leave you, do you?" With his eyes fixated on

her, Duke waited for an explanation. If she failed to provide an answer worthy enough in his opinion,

Belinda feared that he might turn into the Hulk and cause a scene in the office.

Sensing the danger in his tone, she denied his accusation immediately, "What are you even talking

about, honey? That's lady boy Rain!" She said, as though that was self-explanatory. "Why would I ever

want him to stay in that way? But dear," she added, unable to refrain from laughing affectionately, "I

really like it when you're jealous. I just love it so damn much!" As she expressed herself, she smiled at

him hugely, like a chrysanthemum in full bloom, which revealed how hard she was trying to seek his

favor. It was apparent that she wrestled to soothe his jealous husband, preventing him from bursting

out in anger. In her mind, however, she had already cursed Rain a thousand times for putting her in a

tight situation.

Her efforts, though, were futile as his husband said emotionlessly, "Don't suck up to me. I'm not jealous

at all," And with that, he passed by her and walked directly towards the CEO office.

At a loss for words, Belinda stared at her husband's retreating back. If he wasn't jealous, that wasn't

the right way to show it! 'Why is he so angry?' she thought in bewilderment. With her complaints drifting

aimlessly in her mind, she had no choice but to follow her husband into the office. Indeed, she couldn't

just forget about lady boy Rain's trickery; he managed to throw her under the bus so hard he might

actually win an award for it. Now, it was her duty to seduce her jealous and temperamental husband to

expunge the image that Rain painted with his deceit.

Meanwhile, Rain was satisfied by his accomplishment. A smile on his face indicated that he was in a

good mood. With Duke in jealousy mode, Belinda didn't even have the chance to stop him for, in that

instant, her husband became her top priority. Clearly, he had to watch out for Belinda in the future since

she was a vindictive woman, and if she had the chance to execute her revenge, she would take the

leap without hesitation. For Rain's own good, he had to stay away from her for as long as he could.

Just as he was about to press the elevator button, the staff elevator opened. Out of instinct, he peered

inside, not expecting to see the one person he'd been looking for. Before he could let out a word, Annie

greeted him first.

"Rain!" Annie, who had such a busy schedule, didn't expect to see him in YS Group. A pleasant

surprise indeed.

"Why is your mobile phone switched off?" Rain asked directly, skipping the formalities. Glancing at her

from head to toe, Rain noticed that the woman was holding a pile of things which indicated that she had

just returned from outside.

"Uhm," she said uncertainly. "Was it switched off? I didn't notice at all. Maybe I ran out of battery." As

she conveyed her bafflement at his words, Annie reached into her pocket and checked her mobile

phone. Due to her hands being preoccupied with holding so many things, however, she couldn't get it,

and resulted in dropping all the things on the floor.This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Upon seeing this unfold before his very eyes, Rain sighed inwardly and said, "Are you always so

careless?" Frowning, Rain squatted to help her pick up the things on the floor. Annie glanced at him for

a moment, before grabbing everything and rearranging them.

"Of course not," she said, flustered. "Are you here for Belinda?" She stole a glance at him sideways,

curious of his facial expressions as her words began to register.

"Can't I come here for you?" After the bantering with Belinda, Rain did feel enlightened on some

matters, and decided not to suppress his emotions. Therefore, more concealed meanings lay hidden

under his words in an attempt to declare more of his love than in the past.

"For me?" Annie repeated, in complete disbelief of what she heard. Confused by his words, her hands

that were scrambling on the floor for everything stopped in mid-air. Lifting her head up, she looked at

Rain directly.

"Yes," said he, "For you. I heard you were looking for a kindergarten. I found one for you." After picking

everything up, Rain stood up and didn't return the things back to her. Instead, he stared at her while

carrying them for her.

"That's so nice. I can't just accept your kindness. And..." What Annie was dodging to share with him

was that Belinda had already introduced her to a nice kindergarten. But as she didn't want to let him

down, Annie decided not to tell him instead.

"I assure you that you're going to like it! It's quite close to where you live. It'd be very convenient for

you!" Essentially, it was Belinda who let him know that Annie was in search of a kindergarten. As he

wanted to be certain with his recommendation, he went to the kindergarten in person and checked its

facilities, environment, and faculty.
