"I'm not making fun of you. You used to be such a jerk. You've changed a lot since you got married," Edward said as he picked up the papers from his desk. He was about to go to the army base in a little while, so he was in a bit of a hurry.
"Well, thanks." Rain thought he could forego the modesty since Edward rarely praised him.
He nodded and gave a little smile. "Hey, read these documents. I'm going to the base now." He handed the documents over, grabbed his keys and headed out the door. It looked like he would leave without even waiting for a response.
"What? Are you serious? I have a lot on my plate right now," Rain had to make a point to refuse him.
"That's your business, not mine. Don't forget, you're still vice president of FX International." His tone was firm, and it didn't give Rain a chance to turn him down. Edward merely shrugged and left.
Rain groaned. 'I just found my own sister, ' he thought to himself, 'I should be heading back and celebrating right now…but Edward left me with all these documents.'
With a resigned sigh, he had no choice but to read the papers he was left with.
It was almost eight in the evening when he finished reading the documents. 'What a devil…' he quietly cursed Edward for the workload.
"What took you so long?" Tiana briskly walked down the steps as soon as she saw Rain. She missed him at the company, and found out through William that he was out on business.
"I had to do some overtime.
Where's Annie?" 'She looks so much like my mother, ' Rain thought as he stared at her. He used to hate her before, when he would mistake her for Sheena's daughter. He hadn't yet realized how much she looked like his mother.
"She and the kids went to Leena's house. They'll be back later."
Speaking of Leena, Tiana still felt guilty, thinking that Leena could've nearly had a miscarriage because of her.
"And you?
Have you eaten yet?"
Rain figured that Kevin was out on a mission, or Leena wouldn't have called Annie and the kids over to her place.
"Yeah, I'm good. You haven't eaten yet though, have you?"
She frowned. She thought it was a little odd, the way R
"So if the results from the DNA tests match, that would prove I'm your sister?" She asked, still recovering from shock of the news. If she was his sister, she would have a family. Wasn't that all she'd ever wanted? All she had ever hoped for?
"Yes… So, are you willing to come with me?"
He looked at her expectantly, but he knew he wouldn't push her if she didn't actually want to.
His eyes lit up when she replied, though. "Yes, I want to go."
Her words were heavy, as if she had just voiced out a life changing decision.
"Don't worry.
No matter what the results show, I'll treat you as my own sister." Rain had no habit of making such promises to others, but he was sure to keep those he made.
'Strike while the iron is hot, ' he thought. The very next day, the two went to get the DNA test. The waiting period was a strange time. Both of them were in rather unstable moods, but they got along normally.
When they saw the result, it was exactly what they wanted to see. Tiana and Rain's DNA was a 99.9% match. She was his sister, his real sister. They shared blood.
He didn't know how to express his joy with words, so he enveloped Tiana in a sudden tight hug instead.
"Oh my god!
You're my sister! I actually found you…finally!" It felt like a huge weight was off his heart. He had a strong feeling that finding his sister was the greatest comfort he could ever imagine offering to his late mother.
