She took Jack's hand and walked into the yard. "I'm telling you, no matter what happens today, you
must stay here and don't go anywhere!"
Jack had no choice but to sit down on a stone chair, as his mother dragged him hard. The girl sitting
opposite him was no other than his cousin arranged by Mr. Chen.
Scarlett stood up gracefully and reached out her hand to Jack with a smile. "Mr. Fu, I didn't expect to
meet you again on such an occasion."
Hearing this, Tracy widened her eyes in surprise, "You have known each other before? Then I don't
have to introduce her to you anymore."
Scarlett smiled, "We met at a dinner last time, but Mr. Fu doesn't seem to welcome me that much."
Scarlett's hand froze in the air. Jack glanced at it coldly and had no intention of shaking her hand.
Scarlett didn't get annoyed. She kept this posture, raised her lips and looked at him quietly.
However, Tracy, who was standing aside, was very anxious. She pinched Jack's body two times with
her hand drooping over her side. Seeing that he was still unmoved, she said awkwardly, "Scarlett, sit
down. Don't stand anymore."
"Okay, auntie, please take a seat." Scarlett was dressed in a black dress and a mint green overcoat,
which was totally different from the previous look. She looked less sexy and more elegant.
However, all these had nothing to do with Jack. At present, all he wanted to do was to leave as soon as
possible and go home to stay by the side of Rachel.
Scarlett poured a cup of tea for him and asked with a smile, "Mr. Fu, do you have time this weekend?
My uncle's golf course is open on Sunday. We can play there together."
"I will be occupied then." Jack refused without hesitation, without noticing a strange look flashed
through Scarlett's eyes.
He straightened his sleeves and said impatiently, "I have something else to do. I'm leaving now."
Seeing that he didn't show any respect, Tracy comforted Scarlett in a hurry. Then she chased after him,
stood in front of Jack and questioned, "What's wrong with you? Your attitude is so bad!"
"Mom, don't do these useless things." Jack frowned and looked helpless.
"I'm doing the right thing!"
After being laughed at by Jonathan and complained by her son, Tracy felt embarrassed and snorted,
"Don't you see what you looked like before? As a mother, I feel so sorry for you, don't you know? So I
want to introduce another girl to you. Isn't Scarlett a good girl?"
Jack was afraid that his mother would get emotional, so he comforted her, "I know you are doing this
for my own good, but I don't need it now."
"Why?"
"She..." Jack stopped when he just said one word.
He recalled that day Rachel asked him not to tell Jonathan and Tracy that she had come back.
Tracy stared straight at him, waiting for him to continue. But after a long time, she only saw him in a
daze, without saying anything. She couldn't help but urge him, "She what?"
"Oh, nothing."
Jack came to his senses and smiled, "Mom, I really have something to deal with first. As for this
Scarlett, don't think too much. I won't give her any chance."
Scarlett heard his last sentence clearly. She squinted at the direction he left and clenched her fists. She
thought resentfully that she wouldn't give up so easily. Since she was born, she had never failed to get
what she wanted!
Rachel had planned to keep Lea and Rita at home for dinner, but they had agreed to go back to the Qin
family to have dinner with Henry's grandmother. So they had to make an appointment.
When they arrived at the door, Rachel watched them get on the car and leave. When she was about to
turn around and enter the house, she saw Jack park the car on the side. The two people's eyes met in
the air, but they withdrew, and finally said nothing.
Julie came out with a bag of kitchen waste and was about to throw it into the trash can outside the
door. When she saw the two people standing silently opposite each other, she understood.
After living here these days, she had more or less known something about it.
She took a look at the box in the other hand of Jack and broke the embarrassment. "Sir, what did you
buy? Cake?"
"Yes." Jack smiled, "I'll put them in the dining room. You can also have some later."
Rachel bit her lips tightly. She knew that although he said this to Julie, the reason why he bought this
cake was just because she said that she wanted to eat cake when Julie brought her a bowl of sweet
soup.
In fact, there was more joking in this sentence, but Jack remembered it in his heart.
Rachel was not a stone hearted person. When [傅靳南] passed by her, she whispered, "thank you."
Jack paused and said, "You're welcome."
The cake was bought in Rachel's favorite cake shop, because only this shop didn't taste so sweet and
fatty. The only bad thing was that this shop was located in a remote place. It would take two hours to
drive there and go back.
Therefore, no matter how much she liked it in the past, she would try her best to allow herself to go that
shop once per month.
Julie untied the cake, cut a small piece with a knife and put it on the plate in front of Rachel. She didn't
forget to remind her in detail, "Miss, you'd better not to eat too much. After all, the cake is high in
sugar."
"Julie, it's okay."
Rachel took a bite with a fork and tasted the familiar taste. She couldn't help feeling satisfied.
Rachel was a pregnant mother, but at the same time, she was also a doctor. She was very clear about
her own physical condition, but Julie had been used to nagging, so she could listen to it.
Jack changed his clothes and went downstairs. He happened to see that Rachel was poking the cake
in front of him with a fork. She pressed her lips tightly, seeming to be reluctant and distressed.
He knew her well. In the past, when the two of them were preparing dinner at home, she would show
such an expression every time there was something left in the plate, and at that time, he would
naturally eat up all those things.
This time, there was no exception.
Before he could react, Jack had already brought the cake in front of him naturally and finished it in two
bites.
Pursing her lips, Rachel didn't say anything, nor did she show him a straight face. It was a great
progress for Jack, so he was reluctant to stand up and sit there in a short time. The two sat quietly at
the table.
The air around them was obviously filled with a sense of ambiguity.
Julie finished her work and was about to go back to the kitchen to prepare dinner. When she saw the
two of them, she subconsciously took two steps back. She didn't have the heart to disturb the two at
this time, until a sharp ringtone broke the quiet atmosphere between the two.
Looking at the name on the screen, Rachel stood up and walked aside. She picked up the phone and
asked, "What's up, Bill?"
"I just bought some fruits for you, but you are not at home?"
Standing still, Bill looked at the closed door and lowered his eyes. In fact, when he came here just now,
a neighbor had told him the whereabouts of Rachel out of kindness.
During this period of time, Uncle Xu's attending doctor suddenly had free time. In the past few days, Bill
had been actively involved in the treatment with Uncle Xu, so he temporarily forgot that Rachel until
Uncle Xu just finished the first stage of treatment the day before.
So this day, he immediately went to the store and bought some fresh fruit to look for her. He just rang
the doorbell for a long time, but no one came out to open the door.
If he remembered correctly, there was no class arrangement in the college for Rachel this day. Bill
frowned and thought for a while. At this time, the door of the apartment opposite opened, and a silver
haired but vigorous elder lady came out.
She came over with a smile, "Young man, are you looking for the girl opposite?"
Bill asked, "Yes, do you know where she is now?"
The old lady pointed at the door and said, "She hasn't come back since a man came to pick her up last
time. I heard the two of them talking at the door. That man seemed to be the father of her baby. Maybe
he went back with her after they reconciled."
Bill knew that the man must be Jack.
She went back with him. Bill knew it must be the truth, but he still didn't want to believe it. So he took
out his phone and dialed the number of Rachel. He still wanted to hear her say it personally.
After a moment's silence, Rachel lowered her eyes and said in a low voice, "Bill, I'm back to Ning City,
and I won't go back for a period of time in the future, so..."
She paused and heard the sound of something falling on the ground on the other end of the phone.
She took a deep breath and said slowly, "Don't come to me again."
"Okay." Bill answered quickly and hung up the phone. He didn't mind being the one who was always
given a good-man card if he could only make her happy by letting her go.
Seeing that the screen of her phone dimmed, Rachel felt sad and relieved. At least, she wouldn't be a
stumbling block in Bill's future life.
Looking at her back, Jack wanted to reach out to hug her, but when he saw her turn around, he
retracted his hand spinelessly and smiled, pretending that nothing had happened.
