On the second morning, Rachel opened her eyes on time. Last night, she didn't sleep well and seemed
to go back to her childhood. She went to the children's amusement park with her parents and played
with them. At that time, she didn't need to think about anything and just needed to smile every day.
Because her father said that Rachel was the most beautiful when she smiled.
Her mother also said that she liked Rachel the most when she was happy.
At that time, she was really a carefree child.
How Rachel wished she could live in that dream and never wake up again, but the reality was cold.
She slowly sat up. She didn't eat anything last night, and now leaning against the head of the bed, she
felt dizzy. She was afraid that she had hypoglycemia.
She closed her eyes and had a rest for a while. When she opened them again, she felt much better.
She slowly put on her shoes and was about to go downstairs to pick up something to fill her stomach.
When she passed by Jack's room, she saw that the door was still open and the quilt on the bed was
still neatly laid on the bed without any wrinkles.
It seemed that he didn't come back last night.
Frowning, Rachel tried her best to recall the expression on Jack's face when she left yesterday. But at
this moment, she found that no matter what she thought, she couldn't remember.
Julie happened to come over with a nutritious breakfast. She asked in surprise, "Miss, why do you get
up so early today?"
Usually, when she went upstairs, Rachel was still lying on the bed. Although she had woken up, she
was not in a hurry to get up.
"Yes, I can't fall asleep." Rachel curled her lips and said, "Julie, didn't he come back last night?"
Pointing at the direction of Jack's bedroom, Julie came to her senses and nodded, "Yes, he hasn't
come back yet."
After saying that, she subconsciously looked at the darkness on Rachel's face. Seeing that her
expression was a little strange, Julie added in a hurry, "Mr. Jack must be busy with the company's
affairs, so he can't come back now."
The corners of her mouth slightly curled up. Rachel didn't say anything, but in her heart, she was
somewhat resentful. What did it have to do with her?
Yes, it didn't matter at all. When the baby in her belly landed safely, she would always leave. So there
was no need to be angry about his new girlfriend's provocation, and there was no need to be angry
about his late night!
Thinking of this, Rachel felt much more relaxed. She followed Julie back to the dining room. Perhaps
she was really hungry, she had two bowls of millet porridge directly. When she finished eating and
wiped her mouth, she suddenly remembered that she had forgotten to brush her teeth just now!
Jack was awakened by thirst and was about to get a glass of water. Looking at the figure sleeping on
the sofa, he couldn't help frowning.
In fact, Scarlett had woken up a long time ago. Hearing the sound behind her, she pretended to have
just woken up. She turned over slowly and rubbed her sleepy eyes. "Well, Mr. Fu, are you awake so
early?"
"Why are you staying here?" Having drunk too much, Jack felt very uncomfortable in his throat and
coughed several times.
Scarlett took off the quilt and put on her slippers, "I'll get you a glass of water."
"No, thanks." Subconsciously, Jack grabbed her arm to stop her. Then he stood up and poured a glass
of water for himself.
He was just not used to being served by a stranger, but he didn't expect that his subconscious action
made Scarlett chuckle in her heart.
Scarlett touched her left wrist with her right hand reluctantly, and the corners of her mouth could not
help raising slightly. It seemed that her strategy last night was very successful!
The day before, when they waited for a taxi, Jack fell asleep. Then she called her driver to send the two
of them to this hotel. Then, she asked for a blanket and slept on the sofa.
She knew that not every man like a casual woman who took the initiative to sleep with a man.
As for the girl who had self-esteem and self-respect and kept a certain distance from him, that man
would definitely have a good impression on her. Moreover, her original purpose was to make Jack
believe that she did not have any messy thoughts about him.
Judging from the current situation, she was right!
Jack drank two glasses in a row and felt a little better in his throat. Then he put down the cup. Scarlett
had tied her messy hair into a ponytail. She came over and said in a low voice, "I met you in the bar
last night. You were drunk and unconscious at that time. I didn't know where you lived. I wanted to send
you back to your parents' home, but I was afraid that they would worry about you. So I put it in the hotel
directly. Are you angry with me for making the decision by myself?"
"No." Jack pinched between his eyebrows and said seriously, "Thank you."
Although he didn't have a good impression of Scarlett before, it didn't hinder him from expressing his
gratitude.
After saying that, he picked up the suit on the side and walked out. When his hand touched the
doorknob, Scarlett's voice sounded from behind. "For the sake of helping you, can you do me a favor?"
"Tell me." Jack turned around and glanced at her coldly.
Scarlett shrugged, "It's not a big deal. Didn't our mothers want to make a match between us before?
Now my mother is very satisfied with you and she must let me marry you, but I know that there is no
possibility between us, and I am not interested in marrying a man who doesn't take me seriously at all.
But now the problem is that my mother is difficult to deal with. I'm afraid that she... "
Before she finished her words, Jack interrupted her coldly, "Miss Scarlett, just tell me what you want me
to do."
"Next week it's my grandfather's eighty-year-old birthday party, my mother must let me take you back to
have dinner together. I hope you can promise me that you will accompany me to pretend to be my
boyfriend, so that I can have a peaceful time and have a good meal!"
"Sorry, I can't help you." Jack refused without hesitation.
Rachel read the medical magazine in her hand and read the report with great interest. Only at this time
could she get rid of those messy thoughts.
Julie looked through the calendar and saw a red circle on today's date. She was afraid that she would
forget it before, so she made a mark specially.
She smiled and said, "Miss, today is the day for your prenatal checkup. When will we go to the
hospital?"
Hearing this, Rachel realized that she really forgot. She put down the magazine in her hand and stood
up. "I'm going to my room to change my clothes now."
Jack happened to come in from the outside and he couldn't smell himself full of alcohol. When he saw
Rachel coming down the stairs with a backpack, he asked, "Where are we going?"
At this moment, Rachel was wondering if she had anything that she hadn't brought with her. The
prenatal checkup was a very troublesome thing. She had to bring all the examination reports she had
done before. If the doctor wanted to check it, she didn't need to go back then.
She had put all her orders in a file bag before, but they were accidentally scattered when she moved
back to the Ning City.
Seeing that she had no reaction to his question, Jack felt a pang of loss in his heart. He thought that
her sudden anger for yesterday had not completely dissipated, so he asked Julie again.
Julie replied, "Miss Rachel is going to the hospital for the checkup today."
"Then I'll go with you."
It suddenly occurred to Jack that he had set the alarm clock for the prenatal checkup on his mobile
phone, and it also rang in the morning. But the hangover hadn't disappeared at that time, so he directly
turned it off without thinking too much.
He put on the suit jacket hanging on his arm and reached out to take the bag from her. Rachel took two
steps back and frowned at Jack. "No, thanks. I'll go with Julie."
Jack said in a low voice, "it's not convenient for only you two."
"I think it's more inconvenient if you go there with us."
After that, Rachel looked away and walked out. Julie wanted to remind Jack that the smell of alcohol on
his body was too strong and it was not appropriate to go to the hospital with them. But as soon as
Rachel finished her words, she had already gone out, so Julie had to give up and followed her
immediately.
Seeing her leave without looking back, Jack's face suddenly darkened, and an indescribable desolation
and coldness appeared in his expression. Why was he kicked to the side like rubbish no matter what
he did?
This feeling made him feel uncomfortable all over!
At this time, in a Starbucks, Scarlett held her cell phone tightly and looked down at the screen of her
cell phone from time to time. As soon as she saw that the signal on the screen was only two bars, she
held her cell phone and kept looking for a place. She didn't feel relieved until the signal became full
again.
The girl who accompanied her was really speechless. Last night, she played in the night club until two
o'clock in the morning before returning home and had planned to go to bed directly until the afternoon,
but she was called out to have coffee early in the morning.
It was good for her to drink coffee and refresh herself. But now she just came here and sat still, looking
at Scarlett who kept looking for the signal with her mobile phone everywhere.
She couldn't help complaining, "Scarlett, can you come over and sit down?"
"I'm waiting for the call!" Scarlett didn't care about other people's gaze at her, but looked back at them
with disdain.
Yesterday, at the door of the fried chicken shop, Scarlett saw that Rachel shook off Jack indifferently
and got on a taxi alone and left directly. Therefore, she deliberately gave Jack a little idea.
