Chapter 67 Car Accident

"It's up to you. If you could perhaps think of a better idea, then I am more than happy to oblige," said Rachel, pursing her lips.

If he would just make Celine pregnant, that would put a full stop to their wedding. Anything that would make their separation quicker was fine by her.

As far as she was concerned, he could do as he pleased. He was free to cross all the limits.

"Okay," Jack nodded.

Rachel held Mendes in her arms and got out of the car. While carrying him, she realized he was quite a fat boy.

As soon as she stepped out of the car, she was overcome by fatigue. Pleadingly, she looked at the boy and asked, "Mendes, can you walk please?"

"Okay," he replied obediently.

Jack drove the car slowly backward, turned around and drove away. Mendes blinked and withdrew his sight from Jack's car. His gaze was now on Rachel. With utter confusion, he asked, "Rachel, are you getting divorced with that uncle?"

Rachel was surprised. She smiled and poked his little face. "Yes."

But Mendes seemed a little perturbed by her answer. "What about your baby? Don't you want it?"

"My baby?" Rachel was embarrassed. "We don't have a baby."

"You don't have a baby? Where is the baby then?"

She didn't expect this kid to be so curious. Even though he was a child, there was something adult-like about his queries. Rachel couldn't tell him the truth. Hence she wracked her mind for a lie to cover it up. "It hasn't come yet," she said, not meeting Mendes' eyes.

Right when Rachel was consumed in this awkward situation, Lea came and began to wave her hands in order to catch Ra

e, she looked at Lea who was startled by this information. Hurriedly, she went on to explain, "Don't take it wrong. I just went back to Fu family's residence."

Lea squinted her eyes. "The man who slept with you... is Jack?"

After stuttering for a while, Rachel managed to speak. "Mendes slept in the middle, between the two of us. That's all, don't misinterpret the situation." However, her words weren't convincing.

In truth, they had carried Mendes to the side of the bed when he was sound asleep. And then she and Jack had slept together.

Just the thought of it left Rachel scared. She was not used to sleeping with others. And she loved having the whole bed to herself.

But last night, it didn't bother her. In fact, she had a sound sleep.

As soon as Mendes moved to the other side, she fell into a deep sleep. All along, Jack was in the bed with her. This memory disturbed her.

Thinking of that, Rachel felt a little embarrassed and ashamed. At that moment, Mendes added, "Yes, that's how I sleep with my mom and dad. They keep me in the middle. But when I wake up the next morning, I find myself outside. Is that called magic?"

Mendes was only a child. He didn't know anything about hiding or keeping a secret. He spoke nothing but the truth.

However, these words made Lea even more suspicious. Rachel looked like a dear caught in the headlights.

"Last night, you two..." Lea couldn’t believe her ears!

In spite of this, Rachel tried to defend herself. In a very unconvincing voice, she said, "Don't listen to him. After all, he is just a child. Children talk nonsense..."
