Journey to Happy Ending

Chapter 1650 Misunderstandings (Part Three)

There was nothing he could do to solve the problem now. He didn't want to destroy her family, and

decided to set her free.

When Annie was still sound sleep, her phone rang. She cursed silently and reached out to answer it.

"Hello." Her eyes were still puffy and her voice was husky.

"Mommy, it's me, Joyce. When will you be back? Huey and I missed you so much." A child's voice

came from the other end of the line, which made Annie sober up immediately.

"Joyce baby, mommy missed you too. Have you been a good girl while I am away?" Annie asked in a

soft voice.

"Yes, I have. But Huey hasn't. He forbade me from playing with him," Joyce complained. Annie could

imagine that Joyce was now pouting her lips.

"Oh, really? And what is your brother doing now?" Annie asked. Her heart melted when she heard her

own daughter's voice.

"He's playing with his remote control car. He said that I'm a girl and he doesn't play with girls," Joyce

grumbled.

"Ha! Really? Honey, put your brother on the phone, okay? Let mommy teach him a lesson." Annie

knew her son must be next to her daughter and playing with his new favorite, a remote controlled car.

The reason he didn't make any sound was that he was too focused on his toy to say anything.

"Huey, mommy wants to talk to you." The girl turned to her brother and reached out her hand to give

him the phone.

Huey put the remote control down and took the phone with resignation. "Hello, Mommy." His voice was

sort of cool.

"Huey, Joyce said you didn't want to play with her. Is that true?" Annie asked in a soft voice.

"She told you that? What a leaf blower." Huey cast a reproachful glance at his sister. He looked much

more mature than his sister.

"Was she not telling the truth?" Annie had always told the brother and sister that in this world, they This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

should be the closest people to each other and they needed to love each other. But it seemed that

Huey was rather cold towards Joyce.

"Liar!" Huey cursed in a low voice. It was Joyce who didn't want to play with the remote control car with

him. But now she told Annie that he didn't want to play with her.

"What did you just say?" Annie didn't hear what he said. She had hired a nanny to take care of her

children, but she still felt tired.

"Nothing. Mommy, when will you and Uncle Fred be back?" Huey quickly changed the subject.

"Well, our flight is in the afternoon. I'll be home in the evening. Be nice to Joyce, okay? I know that

you're a good brother," Annie urged.

"I will, Mommy. Bye!" Huey hung up the phone and was about to talk to Joyce. But she already ran

away as she knew what she did and now she got caught. She had made her brother mad for turning

against him.

After hanging up, Annie shook her head with resignation. She didn't want to sleep anymore, so she

readied herself and went out to have a look around the city.

The last thing Rain wanted to do was meet Fred under such circumstances. He had a hangover and

looked rather tired and dispirited. He didn't want to look like a loser in front of Fred.

"Mr. Xia, what a coincidence! Why are you here?" Fred asked in confusion. He didn't know that Kate

Hotel was under FX International Group, so he was surprised to see Rain here.

"So, you didn't know that this hotel is under FX International Group? I'm here for business." When he

was drinking with Tom last time, the latter had kept telling him important things about Fred. As a result,

Rain knew much about him.

"Oh! I thought..." Fred stopped and didn't say what he wanted to say. He thought Rain was here for

Annie.

"You thought what? You thought I have a thing for you?" Rain teased with an evil smile.

"No, no, no! Mr. Xia, you are thinking too much." Fred shook his hands at once. He found that he was

too young to deal with Rain.

"I have some work to finish, so please excuse me. Goodbye!" Rain turned to leave. He was in no mood

to make small talk with Annie's husband.

"Bye!" Fred was an artist, and didn't like businessmen. He didn't want to make friends with Rain either.

Rain entered the elevator and mocked himself in his mind, 'Am I a fool? I was trying to meet Annie

before leaving the hotel. But instead, I met her husband. What freaking bad luck!'

Fred could clearly see the arrogance in Rain's eyes, but he was not intimidated at all. He left the

unpleasant encounter behind and walked to Annie's room.

"Annie, are you awake?" He knocked on the door softly.

"Hi Fred! Wait a second." Annie knew nothing about what had happened in the hallway. She was

applying lotion to her face. After that, she stood and opened the door for Fred.

"Are you ready? Our flight is in the afternoon. We still have time to have breakfast and stroll around the

city. I heard there are many delicious things to try here, like snacks, street food and many others." Fred

looked at the woman in front of him with eyes full of affection. He had a thing for her, but she was too

insensitive to realize it. Besides, it showed on her face that her heart belonged to someone else.

"Yeah, sure, why not?" Annie didn't expect Fred to have the same idea as her, so she was thrilled when

she found out that their minds worked the same.

"Let's go." Fred had doubted that Rain had just left Annie's room. But on seeing her reaction, Fred

knew he was wrong.

Annie was not familiar with S City, nor was she a complete stranger. She had been here before. But the

city had changed a lot during these past few years, and it looked different from how she remembered it.

She believed that she would never forget this city, because the man she loved the most was from here

and lived here.
