Huey didn't know that things could change so fast, almost overnight. When he opened his eyes, everything was different, like his life had completely changed in the blink of an eye. He was overwhelmed with excitement and happiness. So, when he saw Rain, he immediately ran towards him and threw himself into his father's arms. It was the first time that he could act like a boy his age. Huey had always maintained a cool and collected facade. It was rare for him to show his true feelings.
"Daddy, are we going to live with you forever from now on? We will not be apart again, right?" Huey's small voice trembled with barely contained excitement, but also fear at his father's answer. After years without a father, his joy was only marred by the threat of losing Rain again.
"Yes! Does that make you happy?" Rain assured him with a huge hug and a sound kiss on his cheek. He was also thrilled that he finally had a family of his own, and he couldn't wait to start the new chapter of his life with them.
"Yes! I am really, really happy!" It was understandable why Huey was this happy. Because now, he was finally like other kids and had two parents. He finally had a mommy and a daddy. He finally had a whole family like he had always wanted.
Being reunited with your family was a joy which couldn't be articulated to others. At the prospect of living happily together from now on, Huey's little heart skipped a beat. Always a cautious child he was aware that there were people who could be jealous and petty and threaten their contentment. He had already decided in his young mind that he would fight for his new family. No one was going to steal their joy.
Back at the FX International Group.
"Congratulations! I heard that Annie 'actually' said yes to your proposal, " Edward said with a teasing grin. In fact, his heart was really happy for Rain, and it showed in his easy smile. He was glad that Rain had found Annie and that they had been able to make up. Life was full of surprises and it had gifted them with two beautiful children. Now, Rain also had a family that he in a good mood recently. So, the price of borrowing bodyguards from him might be exorbitantly high." Edward shrugged helplessly. Recently, the atmosphere at their home was chilled with confrontations between his parents.
"Why is that? Does it have something to do with your mom? Maybe she stared at some other handsome guy and made your dad jealous?" Rain asked, his curiosity piqued. In fact, things like that constantly happened with Edward's parents.
"Something like that, " Edward grumbled, not knowing what to say about his parents. They were both over fifty, but sometimes, they still acted like children with endless bickering and squabbling.
"Okay, fine. If that's what it takes, then I will have to pay a lot, " Rain said with a helpless sigh, pretending to be sad at spending extra money. But in fact, he was never short of money. He just hoped that Edward's father would not give him a hard time, and make the arrangements swiftly.
"Just pray to God to let the two of them make up soon." The corners of Edward's lips lifted into a sardonic smirk. It was somewhat entertaining to watch his friend agonize about these minor details.
"All right, all right. As long as he is happy and agrees to lend me some bodyguards, I don't mind spending extra money." Rain was unconcerned about the money. Annie and his children were now his priority. He rose and prepared to leave.
