My Wife is an Aloof Beauty

Annie was puzzled and asked, "Plan?" She rattled her head at what Rain might've meant but, it drew a blank. "W-what do you mean?" Annie asked eventually.

"Don't play stupid with me," Rain demanded, his voice growing stronger by the moment. "Now that I know that I have children, there's no way I'd allow any other man to be called their father but me!" Rain's mind was completely somewhere else from the start. Things were getting confusing, even for Annie. How could Annie tell Huey that Rain was his father if she had let the children call another man Dad?

Annie blinked, "Y-You're not making any sense…" Even Leena could recognize that problem but, unfortunately for Rain, he couldn't. Rain's mind was consumed by his own thoughts that he couldn't think straight.

"I didn't get anything wrong," Rain responded, he seemed to be clenching his teeth in anger. "Didn't you marry another man with my children?." Rain took the glass of water from the table and gulped it down in one go, as if to die the fire that was burning inside of him.

Then, Annie responded with a question, "Who told you I was married?" Annie felt upset with Rain's allegations towards her.

It was just like how an old saying went, "If you are out to condemn someone, you can always trump a charge."

That saying completely summarized what was happening between Rain and Annie.

"What?" Rain's eyes widened. Rain couldn't believe what he heard. He felt like his ears were playing tricks on him. Rain shot up from his seat. "Could you say it again?" Rain heard Annie the first time and he just wanted to hear Annie say it, that one line that would end all his suffering.

"I never said that I was married!" Annie exclaimed, she sighed afterwards. Rain always had his habit of always considering that whatever he thought was right and carelessly blamed her for everything but, in reality, she was in the white.

Rain's face immediately lit up at Annie's response. He just couldn't believe it. "You're telling the truth, right?" The colorless world Rain lived in then started to take on vivid colors. Rain hated being in such a monochromatic place. The atmosphere became lighter.

His body then began to move on its own as he moved towards Annie. Now he was lost whether he should embrace her tightly or not.

"Why would I lie to you?" Annie smiled

t get a fairy tale like proposal or a heartfelt confession. She would always understand Rain and forgive him. But, the last thing Annie wanted Rain to do was to marry her just for the children.

"You don't know me at all," Rain said in frustration, his tone dyed in sorrow. "You wouldn't have said such things to me otherwise." The two had been apart for four years. Rain loved Annie and that was an undeniable fact and so did Annie. But, they never had the chance to open their hearts to each other.

This was why they always had tough conversations.

Both of them acted as if they had closed off their hearts to one another, acting indifferent despite their hearts screaming otherwise.

Silence dawned upon Rain and Annie, as if everything was still.

Then, Annie broke the silence with a simple statement.

"You're right." Annie then averted her gaze. "You're more like a stranger to me the more I talk to you."

She took a deep breath and looked up. " I've been wondering for the last few days, whether you are still the same Rain I have loved." Rain's statement immediately made Annie's heart sink.

Annie couldn't help but look back to the time when they just started to get to know one another. Rain kept on running away while Annie kept on chasing him.

Annie loved Rain dearly. But now, Annie grew tired.

She looked at Rain with agony inside her heart, 'Looks like I was wrong to hope things have changed…'

Time might have changed their surroundings and the people around them but, some people still remained idle, unchanged.
