"What about the second?" Pursing her lips, Rachel lowered her head to look at her toes, but her ears
were tightly listening to his voice.
Jack said, "If you don't want to go back with me now, I will naturally find out whether this child is mine in
my way. If it is confirmed to be my child, I will try every means to bring him back to me. Rachel, as you
know, if you want to compete with me in this respect, you can't win me."
He knew clearly that if he didn't come up with such a method to force her, Rachel might not give him
any chance at all.
And these two options were in front of her, Rachel must know which one was better.
A few minutes later, Rachel sneered, "Jack, I never knew that you could be so shameless!"
Jack thought that as long as he could get her back, he would not hesitate to use the dirty method!
Raising her head, Rachel gritted her teeth and glared at him, "I have no choice but to go back with you!
But I have a request. Don't tell Jonathan and Tracy!"
In the face of them, she was still not mentally prepared.
"Okay." Jack replied in a low voice.
When she returned to Ning City, Rachel still felt that it was a dream.
However, looking around the strange living room, she knew that everything was real.
This was a two-floor villa. Rachel had always known that Jack had a lot of property under his name, but
she didn't know that he could arrange a new house for her to live casually. Didn't he want her to recall
the bad memories about the past?
However, it had to be said that Jack was smart.
He put the suitcase aside. Jack's eyes were a little deep and warm. But Rachel pretended not to see it
and said in a plain tone, "Where is my room?"
The implication was that she wanted a separate bedroom instead of continuing to live with Jack.
He seemed to have expected what she would say. He pointed to the second room on the right side of
the second floor and said, "Everything is ready inside. Let's have dinner first. I'll take you upstairs to
have a look later. Tell me if you need something more."
As he spoke, he reached out to hold her hand, but his fingertips only slid across her clothes.
Rachel said, "I can walk by myself. I hope you can reduce some unnecessary touch in the future."
In the dining room, an aunt was already busy. As soon as she saw them coming in, she came over with
a smile and said kindly, "Miss, I cooked some noodles for you."
"Okay, thank you." As long as Rachel didn't face Jack, there would be more or less a smiling
expression on her face.
With a bitter smile, Jack forced himself to cheer up and introduced, "This is Julie. She is here to take
care of you. When I'm not here, you can call her if you need anything. Is it okay for you?"
There was no response.
Rachel walked to the cupboard and took out a pair of chopsticks. Then she returned to the table and
sat down. She lowered her head to eat the noodles in her bowl and sincerely praised, "Julie, you are
good at cooking."
However, Jack seemed to be invisible and didn't exist there.
Lea was shocked and asked, "You mean, Rachel is pregnant?"
"Yes." Jack smiled bitterly, "Now she is back to Ning City. Although we live together, she completely
ignores me and doesn't even want to say a word to me."
He really had no choice. The only person he could think of to help was none other than Lea.
Lea thought for a while and said, "Do you want me to have a talk with her? Or do you want me to be
the peacemaker between you two?"
It would be the best if both of them were together, but Jack also knew that it was a daydream.
Lea knew the reason why Rachel left, and Lea supported her.
Jack sighed, "It depends on you."
"I only care about her health. As for other things, I won't say a word." Then Lea excused that she had
to take care of her daughter, Rita and went to the bedroom.
Jack held the teacup in his hands, looking embarrassed and disappointed.
At this time, he finally understood what it meant to go one wrong step and lose everything.
Henry came out of the study at the right time and patted him on the shoulder. "Well, don't be
depressed. It's not your style."
"Then what is my style?" It was the first time that Jack felt so frustrated and incompetent.
Henry thought about it seriously and chuckled, "Conceited?"
Seeing that Jack's face suddenly darkened, Henry coughed and finally stopped joking. He said
seriously, "You shouldn't have given up so easily! Believe me, one day, Rachel will let go of the past
and open her heart to accept you."
Jack didn't say anything, but his long and narrow black eyes had revealed his emotions at the moment.
However, Henry took it seriously for only a moment. "After all, no one wants to live with an insane
person all the time."
Jack patted him on the shoulder and asked, "What did you say?"
"Who else is here besides you?"
"You bastard!"
However, after such a mess, Jack was indeed in a much better mood.
At this time, at the door of the bedroom, the body that had been lying on the crack of the door stood up
again, Lea sighed slightly, with a sigh at the corners of her mouth.
When she heard that they were finally going to hold a wedding ceremony again, Lea was so happy for
Rachel. It was not easy for them.
But who would have thought that such a thing would happen on the wedding day?
If Lea hadn't seen it with her own eyes and heard it with her own ears, she wouldn't have believed it.
Raising her head, Rita opened her round eyes and asked curiously, "Mom, dad just said someone's
insane. Who is he?"
"Ah, you are here."
Only then did Lea notice that her daughter was standing beside her.
Moreover, according to her question just now, Lea believed that Rita must have heard everything she
had heard.
Lea squatted down and poked her daughter's forehead, pretending to be angry. "How dare you
eavesdrop on the adults' conversation?"
Rita shrugged her shoulders and grinned happily. "Because I learned it from mom."
Hearing this, Lea was speechless. In the end, she could only hold her in her arms dotingly and patted
her on the buttock. "You are so naughty!"
However, after hearing this question, an idea occurred to her all of a sudden. Lea whispered in the
small ear of Rita.
After chatting with Henry for a while, Jack was still worried about Rachel, so he stood up and left.
At this time, Rita ran out of the room and waved at Jack, smiling innocently. "Uncle Insane, welcome to
our house again."
'Uncle Insane?'
Hearing Rita shouting, Jack and Henry were both shocked with their eyes wide open. Only Lea stood in
the living room, covering her stomach with her hands and laughing.
Everyone immediately understood who taught Rita to call it.
Jack beckoned Rita to come over. He had planned to take a small revenge on her, but Lea suddenly
opened her eyes and said in silence, "Be careful that I won't help you then."
Well, now that he had someone to ask for help, Jack had to raise his lips with a smile. He also patted
the little head of Rita and said sincerely, "It sounds so good."
As a kid, Rita couldn't tell that Jack was joking. Tilting her head, she asked innocently, "Uncle, do you
really think so? Then I will call you like this from now on, okay?"
"Only in this house!"
Jack was not a narrow-minded person. It was just a kidding from a child, which could be used to coax
Rita and make Lea happy. He thought it was worth it!
As usual, Rachel woke up on time. Realizing that she didn't need to go to school now, she lay on the
bed and continued to rest.
She didn't go to the college to complete the resignation procedure. When she was about to go to the
college after writing the resignation letter, Jack suddenly said that he had handled it well.
As for how to deal with it, no matter how curious she was, Rachel would not ask.
After lying on the bed for a while, Julie knocked at the door and said, "Miss, I cooked some bird's nest
soup this morning. Would you like to bring it in and have some now?"
"I don't have any appetite now. Later."
Since Julie moved back, she cooked different kinds of food every day to recuperate her body. The
original three meals a day had been changed into five meals a day under her arrangement.
Her waist was getting bigger and bigger day by day.
Every day before going out, Jack would go to the door of the room and gently push the door open. He
just looked inside through a crack.
Although he didn't see her clearly, he was satisfied that Rachel didn't object.
It was the same today.
Lying on her side on the bed, listening to the sound at the door, a strange emotion flashed through
Rachel's heart.
In the past two days, she knew how Jack treated her. Although Rachel didn't say anything, she knew it
in her heart and began to be touched.
But what about her dad and mom?
Every time she thought of this, Rachel felt a burst of pain, and all kinds of contradictory emotions
overwhelmed her. Hiding in the quilt, she couldn't help but sob in a low voice, and her shoulders
trembled slightly.
The two of them just stood there silently for a long time. Finally, Jack closed the door and left quietly.
