"How can I not be nervous? Such an incident happened on you, I... Julie stopped talking when she saw
the change of expression on Rachel's face.
She stood up again and said, "Miss, you didn't eat anything in the hospital today. I'll prepare some for
you."
As soon as she finished speaking, Jack's voice suddenly came from the door, "Let me do it, Julie, go
upstairs with her to have a rest."
When Jack came in with several bags in his hands, he looked at Rachel on the sofa with tenderness in
his eyes. "Rachel, if I'm not wrong, you should want to drink a bowl of fish head soup now, right? I just
bought it."
Rachel didn't expect that what he thought was right. Her expression was a little strange, but she still
refuted, "No, I have no appetite. You don't have to do it."
With a slight smile on his face, Jack went straight to the kitchen, took a rest and began to prepare for
the banquet.
Although her attitude was like this, at least it was better than leaving directly. All the things happened
before were all his fault, so he deserved to be treated like this.
He always made trouble like this, and he would ask for forgiveness thousands of times later.
When the fish head soup was ready, Jack sat at the table with his mobile phone and looked through all
kinds of books about taking care of pregnant women on the Internet, and then recorded them down one
by one.
The casserole gradually began to blow up. Jack put down his mobile phone, stood up, lifted the lid and
covered it again, leaving a small gap, and then made the stove fire to the minimum.
When he was about to take a spoon to taste the soup, his phone rang.
Jack had to put down the spoon and picked up the phone. He frowned and asked, "Mom, what's up?"
"Let me ask you, what's wrong with Scarlett? How can you let a little girl go to that kind of place?" Tracy
snapped.
Jack reached out and rubbed his aching temples. He knew that Scarlett would definitely complain to
Tracy.
He was also waiting for the call, but he didn't expect that Scarlett would call her so soon. He had just
arrived home, and Tracy called him so soon.
He said in a deep voice, "Mom, I'll come to you in about an hour. I have something to tell you face to
face."
Tracy demanded, "Come here now."
Jack turned his head and looked at the casserole. Without saying a word, he directly hung up the
phone and muted it. Then he put it aside and continued with the unfinished work.
Rachel was lying on the bed and reading a book. She rubbed her aching ribs from time to time.
She wanted to sit down, but Julie didn't agree and insisted that Rachel must lie on the bed and have a
good rest. Unable to persuade her, Rachel had to listen to her words. She had been lying on the bed
for nearly a day and a night and couldn't fall asleep, so she picked up a book and read it.
However, she couldn't read a single word.
As for Jack, Rachel knew clearly what kind of feeling she had. She still loved him deeply, but the
existence of Scarlett made her flinch.
She also felt that she was getting more and more confused about Jack.
When Rachel was lost in her thought, a delicious smell of fish head soup suddenly came from the air.
She looked up and saw Jack coming in with the fish head soup in his hand. "I just tasted it downstairs.
It's good."
Subconsciously, Rachel reached out to take the bowl from his hand. After thinking for a while, she said
in a low voice without turning her head, "Put it here. I don't want to drink it now."
"I have cooked for so long. Don't you want to have a taste?"
Jack asked in a low voice, with his head against his chest. He looked pitiful, as if he had been bullied.
It seemed that every time the two of them quarreled, he would use this to soften her heart.
However, as time went by, these tricks might not work every time.
Rachel smiled silently. "Jack, you don't have to talk to me like that, and you don't have to cook
personally to make me happy. We have come to this point. No matter what you do, I won't turn back."
He was not like this. There was really no need for him to do these things to please her and put on such
a pitiful look to win her sympathy.
If the two of them were as good as before, they would be happy.
But now, the divorce agreement of the two was put in the suitcase. When the time came, the two would
go their separate ways. There was really no need to do these meaningless things.
Besides, too many things had happened. Rachel couldn't treat it nothing.
She didn't know if she thought too much. She sighed slightly, "Jack, let's just go through this period of
time. As soon as the time's up, we will divorce. Let's get together and get separated peacefully."
The air around them suddenly became a little awkward.
Jack said in a hoarse voice, "Let's talk about the divorce later. Let me take good care of you during this
period of time."
Rachel interrupted her. "I don't need you to take care of me. Your care will only make me suffer more."
Scarlett's existence was enough to frighten her. She really didn't want to have a second or a third
Scarlett.
Putting down the book, Rachel didn't want to talk to him anymore, so she took out an excuse to rest,
hinting Jack to leave.
Looking at the repulsive look on her face, Jack licked his dry lips and said in a deep voice, "Rachel,
don't mention divorce for the time being. During this period, I will make you change your mind and
continue to stay with me."
'Change? How to change?
His mother doesn't agree with the change. She would introduce other women to Jack and try to get rid
of me.'
Rachel would never change her mind unless he could solve all these problems. Otherwise, such a
marriage life was a torture, and there was only one ending waiting for them, and that was divorce.
Pulling the quilt over her body to cover half of her face, Rachel said lightly, "Please close the door for
me when you go out."
"Okay."
Jack replied in a soft voice. When he came out of the bedroom, his face suddenly darkened. He slowly
clenched his slender fingers into fists and gave a heavy blow on the wall.
Tracy walked back and forth in the living room. Her phone was a little hot because she had held it for a
long time.
Jonathan adjusted his glasses and coughed heavily. "Can you sit down? I am dizzy!"
"Then you don't look at me." Tracy replied impatiently.
When she received the phone call from Scarlett who cried hysterically and said that she was going to
leave. After asking her in detail, she intermittently told Tracy where she was going, but she refused to
tell Tracy why she was sent to that place by Jack.
Later, Tracy called Jack, but was told that he would come in an hour.
During this period of time, she was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.
Tracy checked the time again and again. It was almost an hour. When she was about to call back, Jack
finally came. She immediately ran up, grabbed his arm and whispered, "What the hell is going on? Go
upstairs with me and make it clear to me."
Jonathan always disagreed with Scarlett, so Tracy knew clearly that she couldn't let him hear it.
Jack put his hand on Tracy's shoulder and said with a gloomy face, "Mom, let's talk here."
"What?" Looking at his face, Tracy was stunned and didn't know what to do.
Jack pulled Tracy to sit down on the sofa and said in a deep voice, "Mom, I know you have a lot of
opinions on Rachel, and you don't like her either. If you want me to marry Scarlett, I can tell you today
that I won't marry anyone except Rachel."
"Don't be silly!" Hearing this, Tracy's face changed again and again. When she saw Jack's darken face,
her heart skipped a beat. "Are you kidding?"
"I'm not kidding." Jack said seriously.
Jonathan nodded with satisfaction. He took a sip of the tea and said, "It's best that you think so now."
Hearing her husband's words, Tracy, who had just recovered, suddenly froze and snorted, "I don't
agree. Rachel doesn't deserve to be your wife, and I don't know the baby in her belly..."
Before she could finish her words, Jack interrupted her and snapped, "Mom, Rachel has never done
anything wrong to me. I am the one who should say sorry to her."
Jack had never said anything harsh to Tracy. Now, Tracy opened her eyes in disbelief. After a while,
she looked up at him with tears in her eyes. "So you mean that I was wrong? Why do I insist? I just
want you to be happy in the future and have someone to take care of you."
Hearing the crying voice, Jonathan's face darkened. He said in a low voice, "They are grown up that
they can decide their own love affairs. We don't need to worry about them!"
"At that time, it was you who decided Rachel and Jack's marriage. Why can't I make decision for them
now?" Tracy retorted at once. Being scolded, Jonathan rubbed his nose, speechless.
He picked up the crutch on the side and sighed, "Whatever you like!"
Tracy sobbed and wiped her tears at the corner of her eyes. Then she held Jack's hand and persuaded
him earnestly, "Jack, you must be rational now. I have lived for so many years and seen so many
people and things, I know who is suitable for you. I don't mean that Rachel is not a good girl, but she is
too cold and indifferent. You are suitable for a person who knows how to take care of you."
