"In fact, I am not that pitiful. I have a good friend like you and Celia who cares about me, and the baby
that is about to come out of my belly. I think my life is perfect, I mean it."
It seemed that Rachel was afraid that others would not believe her. At the end of her words, she
nodded heavily.
Lea felt a sourness in her throat and tried to restrain tears welled up in her eyes.
Patting her on the shoulder, Rachel pretended to be relaxed and said, "I'm going to work. Don't you
mind being my driver and giving me a ride?"
"Give me the fare and I'll send you there right away."
After a joke, Lea sent Rachel to the gate of the hospital. Seeing her in, she was about to drive away.
But after thinking for a while, she dialed Jack's number.
Austin came over with a meeting record book, knocked on the door and reminded, "Mr. Jack, they are
all sitting in the meeting room. We can start now."
"Okay, I'll be right there."
As soon as Jack stood up, his phone vibrated. Seeing the number on the screen, he hesitated for a few
seconds and finally answered it. "Hello."
"Hello hell!"
Lea cursed him directly, "Jack, what's wrong with you? When Rachel left, you seemed not to live
without her. Now she's back, but you turned to hook up with another woman. Do you enjoy it?"
Jack took the phone away a little. When there was no sound at the other side of the phone, he asked
indifferently, "Have you finished?"
"I'm done."
Lea breathed a sigh of relief. She felt much better now. She was just like this. She just felt
uncomfortable when she held something in her stomach, not to mention that it was related to Rachel.
Jack asked, "Did Rachel ask you to call me?"
Through the French window in front of him, he could clearly see that his lips were trembling slightly, as
if an emotion was waiting to gush out.
"You think too much!" Then Lea retorted him and hung up the phone directly.
However, the emotion in Jack's heart didn't disappear for a long time. If Rachel strongly opposed, Lea
would definitely not call him to say something like that.
But now, since she called, it only meant that Rachel acquiesced in it.
If she acquiesced in it, did it mean that she had already had a feeling for him? In fact, she still cared
about him, but she refused to admit it?
Thinking of this, Jack's gloomy mood finally showed a trace of warmth.
In the meeting room, several managers who were sitting in the middle whispered to each other,
guessing why Jack hadn't come yet. One of them patted on the shoulder of Austin and said, "Secretary
Lin, how about you go and have a look? I have to meet a client later. If it starts too late, I'm afraid it will
be delayed."
"Yes." The rest of them echoed.
Closing the notebook, Austin stood up and went back to Jack's office. Jack picked up the car key on
the table and seemed to be about to leave.
He frowned and asked, "Mr. Fu, are you join the meeting?"
"No. Tell them I have something else to do. Change another time."
After saying that, Jack trotted away. He had planned to drive directly to the hospital to tell Rachel the
whole story, but on second thought, it was not appropriate to talk about it in the hospital.
So he drove home and sat quietly on the sofa, waiting for Rachel to come back from work.
At the same time, when Rachel came out of the hospital, Jimmy was already waiting at the door.
Seeing a small bunch of flowers in her hand, he smiled and said, "You don't have to be so formal, do
you?"
"After all, it's my first time to watch Gary's performance. I don't know what I should give him, or should I
buy him a gift?" Rachel looked upset.
Jimmy took the flowers and put them on the back seat. "Don't bother. In fact, Gary will be very happy if
you go there alone."
Today's school was extraordinarily lively. An arch made of condoms was placed at the school gate. Two
senior students stood on both sides and handed out the program list of that day to each of their
parents.
As soon as Rachel got out of the car, she saw Gary, who had been waiting for her at the school gate,
running towards her. "Aunt Rachel, you're finally here. I've found a good place for you and dad. I've
specially placed two books on it and kept them for you."
"Thank you." Rachel raised her hand and gently rubbed Gary's hair. She looked around and saw that
Mrs. Yang was also rushing over. She kept shouting, "Gary, slow down. There are so many people
today. Be careful not to fall down."
When she walked in, Rachel smiled at her as a greeting.
Mrs. Yang immediately stopped nagging and said with a smile, "You're here too. Good to see you."
She looked at the three of them up and down, and the satisfaction in her eyes became more and more
obvious.
It was getting dark. It was winter now and the day was short. At 6 p.m., it was completely dark outside.
Jack couldn't sit still on the sofa anymore. He walked to the door and looked around. When he found
that there was no figure of Rachel, he turned back. She should have been off duty at 5 p.m. Even if
there was a traffic jam on the road, she shouldn't have been absent for more than an hour.
Julie put her hands in front of her and twisted them uneasily. She thought that Jack just came here for a
while and would leave later. After all, Jack hadn't shown up in this house for a long time, so she didn't
tell him that Rachel said she wouldn't come back for dinner.
But it seemed that he was waiting for Rachel to come back?
After hesitating for a while, Julie opened the glass door of the kitchen and was about to say something
to Jack. But he suddenly pulled a long face and smashed the phone in his hand out heavily!
Looking at the remains on the ground, Julie was shocked.
Jack was so angry that he gritted his teeth and glared at the phone on the ground.
Just now, he received a WeChat message from Tracy, in which there was a photo of two people, Jimmy
and Rachel, walking in the school hand in hand with a little boy!
Before Jack could say anything, Tracy sent another message, "She is accompanying his child to attend
the art show of the school. Jack, are you still so stupid to think that they have nothing to do with each
other? Only parents are allowed to attend the art show!"
Her words made Jack angrier.
He wanted to explain to her just now, but when he recalled it now, it was all his self-righteous jokes.
Rachel didn't care about him at all. The news between him and Scarlett had no effect on her!
Julie was shocked to see him like this. She thought it was not a good chance to come out. She turned
around and was about to go back to the kitchen. Suddenly Jack called her.
He asked, "Where did she go?"
Julie knew that he was referring to Rachel. She shook her head and said, "I don't know. Miss Rachel
just said that she wouldn't come back for dinner."
"Call her right now and ask her to come back!" He wanted to ask her face to face what was good about
that Jimmy.
'How could Jimmy is better than him'
Julie swallowed and walked to the landline phone, nervous and scared. She dialed Rachel's number,
but no one answered.
At this time, the art show of the school just came to an end, and Gary's violin performance won the first
place in the grade. As soon as the host announced his name, the crowd burst into thunderous
applause, and Rachel was also busy applauding, so she didn't hear the mobile phone in her bag
ringing at all.
Gary, who had just received the honor certificate on the stage, looked at them and grinned happily. He
stretched out his hand and made a happy gesture to them.
As soon as they got out of the car, Gary ran towards them with the honor certificates in his hands.
Then, Rachel handed him the flowers that Jimmy had just brought from the car, and said, "Gary,
Congratulations! You are so awesome!"
"Thank you, Aunt Rachel!"
Gary said, but his smile disappeared the next second. He said unhappily, "Auntie, flowers seem to be
girls' favorite. Next time you come here, can you give me something boys like?"
Rachel didn't expect that he would say so. She was stunned for a moment, and Jimmy, who was
standing next to her, quickly said, "Gary, it's too impolite of you to say that. Rachel sent you flowers to
congratulate you on the success of your performance. How can you say that?"
"It's okay." With a smile, Rachel raised her hand and rubbed Gary's hair. "Tell me, what do you want? I'll
keep it in mind. I'll give it to you next time when you perform."
"I want Transformers!" Gary jumped up and smiled happily.
Jimmy shook his head helplessly, looked at Rachel and said, "Let's go to the restaurant now. It will be
on time when we arrive there."
Rachel had planned to go home after the art show, but at that time, Mrs. Yang kept saying, "Jimmy, you
can't be so impolite. Miss Rachel specially took time to see Gary's performance today, and we have to
treat her a dinner no matter what."
Then she took Rachel's hand again and said, "Miss Rachel, if you don't agree, then you disgrace
Jimmy and Gary."
...
What Rachel was not good at most was to refuse these words. She had to nod and then called Julie to
tell her.
She had thought that Mrs. Yang would go with them, but when Gary just finished his performance she
said that her temple was a little painful, so she left first.
Hearing this, Gary immediately raised his head and asked in a clear voice, "Dad, are we going out for
dinner again tonight?"
"Yes."
Seeing that Jimmy nodded, Gary jumped up immediately and cheered, "That's great, Aunt Rachel, I
find that as long as you are here, we can go out to eat every time. From now on, can you come to have
dinner with me and father every day?"
Children's words were simple, which made both Rachel and Jimmy feel embarrassed, but soon it
disappeared.
