Journey to Happy Ending

Chapter 1765 At Odds (Part One)

Eleanor bit her lips, not knowing how to defend herself. She knew that she was in the wrong in this

matter.

"Rain, don't be angry. I am also partly to blame. Miss Xiao kindly invited me to ride her car at first. I

must have said something wrong that offended her, thus, we got here." Annie pulled Rain's sleeve to

prevent him from making further actions. She looked embarrassed with her face completely turning red.

However, her natural charisma didn't waver and she remained as beautiful as always.

"Really?" Rain asked, unconvinced. He knew Annie like the back of his hand. She was a mild person

and would not offend others simply because of a word or two.

"Huh! Don't you believe me?" Annie frowned as she felt her scalp tingle a bit. She just realized how

much Eleanor hated her. She could just imagine how much force Eleanor exerted when she pulled her

hair. Nevertheless, Annie didn't want Rain to know that she was hurt. Thus, she just pretended that

nothing happened.

Eleanor shot Annie a confused stare. She had thought that Annie would take the chance to slander

before Rain. It surprised her that Annie didn't make a big deal of the whole chaos. It weirded her out

that the woman even blamed herself for what she did.

"I believe you, okay? It's just that I don't trust the other person here," Rain said as he cast a sharp

glance at Eleanor. She should feel lucky that she was a woman, otherwise, he would definitely give her

black eyes upon seeing her bullying his wife like that.

"Miss Xiao, you'd better leave now," Annie reminded the actress. She feared that Rain might lose his

temper and beat her in public. That would be really barbaric.

"Okay." Eleanor suddenly became submissive. She hurriedly got into her car without saying a word and

drove away in full speed. She wouldn't forget how Rain looked while staring at her moments ago. He

looked like he was about to grab her and slam her on her car's hood.

"She was tugging your hair! Why were you so dumb to let her hurt you?" Rain snapped and stared at

her as soon as Eleanor disappeared. After a second, his expression softened as he touched her head

tenderly. "Are you hurt?"

"Yes, a little. Sorry for embarrassing you." Annie lowered her head because of guilt. She had never

expected for a superstar like Eleanor to lose herself and come out that rude.

"You did not embarrass me. Rather, you should be embarrassed yourself. You are so weak that you

couldn't even fight back when she pressed your head down. You must do more exercise from

tomorrow." Rain felt an urge to pluck all of Eleanor's hair upon remembering the scene that welcomed

him when he came. He swore, he could have killed Eleanor if only Annie didn't stop him.

"Didn't you see? Her face was swollen. I slapped her first." Annie thought that Rain was a merciless

man. She was pretty satisfied with how hard she had slapped the actress' face earlier. However, it

seemed that what she did wasn't enough.

"She was the one who asked for it!" Rain knew just how hard Annie slapped Eleanor and that was

actually the reason that he decided to stop arguing with her. Otherwise, he wouldn't have let her get

away so easily.

"Then what should we do now? Where are we going?" Annie was eager to turn the page and move on.

Thus, she changed their subject.

"Of course we're going home! What else should we do now?" Rain's mind was still lingering on the

matter. Honestly he didn't think that it was fine to just let Eleanor get away like that.

"What about my car? I have a flat tire," Annie said while glancing at her car anxiously.

"Don't worry. I will call the 4S Store. They will get a trailer to move it to their store." It was impossible for

Rain to change the tire himself. He usually left all the car troubles to the 4S Store.

"A trailer? Are you sure we need a trailer?" Flicking her tongue, Annie couldn't believe how pampered

Rain was as a rich man. It wasn't that difficult to change a tire. Why would he even think of calling a

trailer just to do it?

"Yes, nothing is impossible." After a while, the personnel from the 4S Store came. Rain ordered them to

send the car away with the trailer. Then he pulled the door of his car open and invited her into his car.

"Have the kids arrived home safely?" Annie was always careful with their kids, especially when it was

Rain's turn to take care of them.

"I already answered that question over the phone," said Rain in a bored tone. Sometimes, he couldn't NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

help but feel jealous of their children since Annie seemed to pay more attention to them than to him.

"I'm their mother and I have to make sure that they're safe." Annie stuck her tongue in embarrassment.

Rain gave her a few glances. Little did she know how insecure he was as a man. He was aware of the

many mistakes he had done in the past. Thus, he could understand why Annie was so worried about

their kids.

Edward assumed that Daisy would finish the military drill today. Thus, he directly went to the army base

after visiting a client and fixing all his business endeavors. Rain could help him to handle the business,

anyway.

He wasn't really the type of person who liked waiting for anyone. However, he would never get tired of

waiting for Daisy since he loved her so much.

Time ticked by fast. It was already a quarter past seven in the evening but he still hadn't seen Daisy's

car come out. Did he get here on the wrong date? Was it even possible for him to read his calendar

wrong? Edward wondered.

Meanwhile, Daisy was looking at Kevin apologetically. She was very sorry for his injury. She didn't

really mean to hurt him due to her carelessness. Although the wound wasn't that bad, Kevin would still

need to endure the pain of it for the next few days.

"This will make Leena really sad." Daisy couldn't help but tease him after the military surgeon

bandaged up his wound.

"Don't worry. She is very busy with Richard right now. She won't notice this wound at all. Moreover, this

is nothing serious," replied Kevin in a jealous tone. Daisy could sense that Leena's attention had shifted

from Kevin to the child and that made Kevin somewhat unhappy.

"How could it be possible? You're everything to Leena. How could she not care about you and miss

such an important thing?" Daisy asked curiously. It was spring now and they were all just wearing shirts

and trousers. Although Kevin could cover the wound with his clothes, it was still possible that Leena

would sense the subtle changes in him.
