Since Jack asked about the parents, Rachel suddenly felt sorry for Mendes. In a soft voice, she explained, "His parents left him alone."
'So she decided to volunteer as a babysitter? When did doctors start to do charity work?'
Thinking carefully, Jack remembered meeting her with the boy twice already.
He didn't see Rachel as a woman whose kindness would extend up to the point of taking care of somebody's child. In his eyes, it was true that he saw women as gentle and fragile.
They were the ones who would like to have a puppy or kitten as a pet and exclaim in their cutesy voices, "It is so cute. I love it so much!"
Or, they could just simply act as soft and weak if opportunities permitted them to.
Obviously, Rachel did not belong to that group of women. He vividly remembered the day she smashed Eric's hand without blinking.
He didn't like Rachel for she was so cruel to her cousin. But now, she was so soft and kind, as if she was a totally different person.
'Could women change their dispositions in a snap of their fingers?' Jack pondered confused.
Unknowingly, he started to become interested in Rachel.
When he started to think about her, he deliberately stopped himself and made sure that his mind exerted effort to avoid thinking anything connected with her. This was his way not to develop deeper feelings for her.
Another ten minutes had passed, Jack was a hundred percent sure that Mendes was definitely in a dreamland now.
Lifting the quilt, Rachel stood up and said, "Get up and transfer him on my side."
Slowly, Jack stood up too. Rach
nk if it was true.
Making a point, Rachel said, "I really don't understand what is going on in that brain of yours. Haven't you always wanted a divorce? Now that it's within your reach, why are you having second thoughts? I really think that there is something wrong with you."
Frowning, he was about to say something when she interrupted him.
Raising her hand, Rachel motioned for him to stop. Clearing up her throat, she asked suddenly, "Are you worried that the agreement will affect your relationship with Celine?"
Seeing doubts formed in her eyes, Jack narrowed his eyes and got angry at her.
'What did she take me for? Am I a person who always allows Celine to dictate and manipulate my life?'
Controlling himself not to blurt out what he thought, he didn't want to face the truth that Rachel agreed with his line of thinking.
Admittedly, there were times that he went against Rachel because of Celine. Maybe, because of those decisions, he hurt her indirectly.
Thinking about those times, he realized that everything happened when he mentioned Celine.
Therefore, he chose to keep silent and not to answer her question. But, Rachel continued, "Is she afraid that something might happen between us?"
Hearing Rachel's question, Jack's face changed abruptly. When Rachel noticed his expression, she knew her suspicions were correct. And, she understood his situation.
However, what Rachel didn't know was the real reason behind Jack's angry expression. What she thought never crossed his mind. Instead, her question reminded him of his sex dream last night.
