Rachel could not keep Lucas out of her mind. She had feelings for him. She had not realized this until he went abroad to receive training.
However, there were too many obstacles that hindered her from telling him how she truly felt. Rachel buried her head in the sand like an ostrich as if trying to rebel against her own emotions.
Rachel had not forgotten the chain of her marriage. But if she and Lucas were in love, she could ask for a divorce.
Thinking back on all the years she had known Lucas, she realized that he had never been with any woman.
But even then, she had no clue whether he liked her or not.
What Cara just said made Rachel's heart beat faster. She couldn't help but steal a glance at Lucas to see his reaction.
However, Rachel was left disappointed. Lucas did not have any reaction at all. He still wore his usual expression. When he looked at Rachel, the latter confirmed that he had no feelings for her at all.
It seemed like that he had always treated her like his own sister.
Rachel had gradually calmed down. If she had anything to say, it would be to say that she was disappointed in Lucas.
She wanted to know whether Lucas liked her back or not. But somewhere at the back of her mind, she was afraid to hear the answer.
Mendes didn't understand adults' complicated feelings. His interest was focused on the goods being sold in the shopping mall. He walked between Lucas and Rachel, holding each of their hands.
Lucas was a man who liked to work efficiently and accurately.
Since he was here to sho
child's head and hugged him. "If you behave well, I'll buy it for you. I promise."
"Oh yeah!" Mendes was over the moon. He was giggling in excitement.
Rachel couldn't help but laugh. She glanced at Lucas and thought that it was easy for him to coax children.
She had thought that Lucas asked her for help because he was afraid that he couldn't handle Mendes, but Rachel had changed her mind. Lucas didn't even ask her to do anything.
Before they came, Lucas had already searched online for tips, and even asked the child's nanny for advice. He made a list of the things he was going to buy.
Now, all he needed to do was go shopping, following his list, and a little help from the shopping guide.
Rachel was all the more confused why he had asked her to go with them. There was no real purpose for her to be here.
She had thought that he would need her help in some aspects, but it didn't seem like he needed her help at all. While she was lost in thought, Lucas turned to her and asked, "What do you think of this one?"
Rachel rubbed the material between her fingers and frowned. "You should buy all cotton. Wool is not comfortable at all."
Lucas touched his nose and said, "I asked about the pattern and the style..."
Rachel stared at the Superman on the pants. She was uncertain whether to give her opinion or not. 'Is there any difference?' she thought.
The saleswoman didn't say anything this time. She just thought that this couple was odd.
It seemed like they didn't know much about what the boy needed and wanted.
