Seeing this, Rachel withdrew her hand in a hurry. Jack, who was sitting opposite to her, frowned tightly.
When he was about to stand up, he saw that Rachel had almost stood up with a smile on her face. She
said to everyone, "I have something to do. I have to leave now. Enjoy your meal."
Then she turned around and walked slowly to the door of the hotel. A black car stopped in the dark.
Jimmy stood beside the car in a black overcoat and looked at the door with a smile.
Rachel walked slowly and lowered her head with a smile. "I'm so sorry to ask you pick me up."
"I'm just on the same way." Jimmy opened the door of the passenger seat and put his hand on her
head, indicating her to be careful all the time. Then he walked around the front of the car, got in and
drove away.
The two didn't see that Jack was walking out from behind the glass door, with devouring coldness in his
deep dark eyes.
Sitting in the car, Rachel felt much better with her hands open in the warm air. She smiled and said,
"you can help me park at the next intersection. I'll take a taxi back then."
Just now in the hotel, she really didn't want to stay any longer. It happened that Jimmy sent a message
to her, showing his appreciation that she came to accompany Gary that day, so Rachel asked him to
pick her up.
But she still felt a little embarrassed.
Jimmy turned his head and saw the apologetic look on Rachel's face. With a gentle smile on his lips,
he said, "I can drive you back directly. You don't need to call taxi. I happen to have something to give
you."
"What is it?" Asked Rachel.
He smiled, "Gary's school will hold an art show next week. He will play the violin on the stage, so he
asked me to send you an invitation card to watch his performance."
Rachel was a little surprised. "He can play the violin?"
Jimmy's eyes darkened and a bitter smile appeared on his face. "His mother likes playing the violin, so
I let him learn it."
For a moment, the atmosphere in the car became a little serious. Rachel didn't know what to say, so
she just closed her eyes and had a rest.
After getting off the car, Jimmy took out a red invitation card from his briefcase and handed it to her. "If
you don't have time, you don't have to go there specially."
"I'd love to. I also want to see Gary's performance."
With a slight smile, Rachel put the invitation card into her bag and got off the car. When she entered
the room, she found that Julie had returned to her room.
She didn't eat something in the hotel just now. Although she wasn't hungry at the moment, she was
afraid that it would be troublesome for her to be hungry and wake up in the middle of the night. Rachel
went to the kitchen first, made some noodles and went back to her room.
After washing up, as usual, she leaned against the headboard and turned on the storyteller to do
prenatal education for a while. She was full of thought that Jack might not come back tonight.
The relationship between him and Scarlett should have stabilized.
Thinking of this, Rachel felt a pang of pain in her heart. She simply turned off the story teller, pulled
over the quilt and lay down. She closed her eyes and forced herself to sleep. Only when she was
asleep could she stop these messy thoughts.
Fortunately, after turning her back for two times, she gradually felt sleepy.
When she was about to fall asleep, the door of the bedroom suddenly opened. Rachel was shocked
and trembled.
Then, the light in the bedroom was turned on. Rachel opened her eyes and sat up. She saw Jack
standing at the door of the bedroom with a smell of alcohol and coldness, looking at her coldly. There
was an indescribable emotion in his deep eyes.
Rachel lay down again, pulled the quilt on her body and said coldly, "I'm going to sleep. Please go out."
He chuckled, walked over, stood by the bed, bent over, and put one hand on her face. He opened his
thin lips and said coldly, "Rachel, I really don't know you."
As he spoke, he reached out his hand and gently slid his fingertips from her eyebrows to her chin.
Suddenly, he pinched her chin, and the strength in his hand increased gradually. "Or, I don't know you
at the beginning."
She recalled what happened in the hotel. He didn't give her any face in front of his employees. At that
time, she endured it. But now he questioned her like this. It must be because she had talked with Mr.
Wang a few words that made him unhappy.
But he had never thought whether he had made her unhappy or not?
Rachel didn't want to struggle, but said weakly, "Everyone lives with a mask, doesn't he?"
"Mask?" Jack raised his lips, "Then why don't you wear the mask you used to wear?"
Rachel was a little annoyed. "Those days are gone. Do you think I can still use the mask I used to
wear?"
He gritted his teeth and said, "So you hook up with them casually now? How's going between you and
Jimmy?"
"Hook up? How's going?"
Rachel repeated his words and sneered. She didn't understand why he was always entangled with the
problem of Jimmy. She was a little impatient and said, "Depends on whatever you think."
She added, "besides, I didn't ask you anything about you and [陈雅萱]. You have no right to say
anything about me."
As soon as she finished her sentence, the bedside lamp was smashed to the ground by Jack.
He suddenly raised his voice and shouted out irritably, "Rachel, don't you really care about me at all?
Don't you feel any pain when you see me with her?"
The day before yesterday, Jack received a call from Tracy and asked her to go there. He thought it was
just because he was discharged from the hospital temporarily, but he didn't expect that she didn't
mention anything about it.
But when they met, Tracy asked with a serious look, "Are you sure that the baby in Rachel's belly is
really yours? Is it the baby of our Fu family?"
"Of course." Jack answered without hesitation.
Tracy frowned and said nothing. She shook her head in silence, which made Jack feel a little uneasy.
But at the same time, there was a sense of rejection and resistance in his heart.
No matter what she was going to say next, Jack didn't want to know.
He stood up and said lightly, "Mom, I have something to do. I'm leaving now."
"Sit down!"
Tracy suddenly shouted and grabbed Jack's arm to stop him. "I asked you to come here especially.
Now you want to leave before I finish?"
Jack frowned, "But I really have something to deal with."
Tracy pouted, "Nothing is more important than what I'm going to talk about later."
She picked up the cup on the tea table, took a sip and moistened her throat. Then she said seriously,
"Rachel has a friend called Jimmy. Do you know that?"
"I know."
Jack had sent someone to investigate his background since he saw him in the restaurant last time, so
Jack naturally knew his name. But he didn't know why Tracy mentioned this man today.
[李敏霞] snorted, "I'm a friend of his mother. When I sent her back today, I happened to bump into [阮居
然] at her home. I heard what my friend said, but it seems that the two of them are going to be together.
Don't you know the intention of the deal?"
...
With a straight face, Jack didn't answer. He clenched his fists and slowly loosened them, and the
sternness in his eyes gradually disappeared. He curved his lips and said in a flat voice, "Mom, you've
misunderstood. They are just ordinary friends."
"Ordinary friend?" Tracy repeated and shook her head, "Of course not. My friend is very happy. She
asked me not to introduce girls to his son."
With a calm look on his face, Jack didn't say anything more. After Tracy finished her words, he stood
up and pointed at his watch. "Mom, I'm really late. I have to go now. Let's talk about it later."
However, after leaving home, Jack could no longer keep calm and rational. His eyes turned red and his
thoughts had already been in a mess.
Therefore, he treated Scarlett well again and tried every means to be good to her. He just wanted to
make Rachel care about him and jealous.
But now, Rachel blurted out, "No, I'm not interested in your relationship with her at all, and there's no
need to be angry."
All of a sudden, Jack burst into laughter. His deep eyes were as sharp as a knife. "Good, very good!"
Then he turned around and left. The door was slammed again.
Rachel felt a dull headache and a buzzing sound in her head. If the broken bedside lamp hadn't
reminded her clearly, she would have thought that Jack just appeared in her dream.
How could she not care about the existence of Scarlett?
If she really didn't care, she didn't have to chat with Mr. Wang and take his business card tonight just to
make Jack angry.
But she didn't know why, in the face of Jack's questioning one after another, she couldn't say a word
from the bottom of her heart, only the words against her will.
Julie had already fallen asleep and was about to go to the bathroom because of the urine. She was
startled when she heard a bang from the second floor. She quickly took out her coat from the cabinet
and put it on. When she was about to go upstairs to have a look, she heard a heavy sound when she
opened the door. Not long after, she saw Jack go downstairs angrily and leave without looking back.
When Rachel was about to pick up the fragments of the lamp, the bedroom door was gently pushed
open from the outside.
She had already guessed who it was. She smiled bitterly and said, "[张妈], it's so late. Why haven't you
gone to bed yet?"
"I'm old and can't sleep much. I woke up easily."
Julie came up, helped her up and let her sit on the bed. "Miss Rachel, please sit down. I'll clean it up."
She went outside to get a broom and a duster, and swept the fragments together. Then she sighed
slightly, "Miss Rachel, in fact, if there is something between you and Mr. Jack..."
