Chapter 171 A Series Of Questions

Tracy started to make small talk, and as minutes passed, she shifted her attention towards the couple themselves rather than the conversation at hand.

Unlike her husband, she wasn't one to keep a close eye on the changes between the couple.

This was why it was harder for her to accept that Rachel and Jack were together. She wanted to ask Rachel about this, but she had no idea how to start the conversation.

She thought for a while and suddenly remembered the topic that her husband had just mentioned at the dining table.

"Hey, what's wrong with Jack? Why do you need to take care of him?"

When Rachel saw that Tracy was taking a longer time to wash the peaches, she slowed down her speed.

"Something happened at the hospital, and I decided to take a long leave.

Jack has an upset stomach recently, so I'm taking care of him,"

Rachel explained briefly.

She made sure to leave out the part that Jack had been in the hospital because of his gastritis, so that Tracy wouldn't worry.

Was this the Jack she knew from before?

He was so different that she couldn't help but be amused from his antics.

He looked like a young man who would rush into any relationship and be filled with loving and naive ideas of lasting forever.

It was as if he had thrown his own maturity into the garbage can.

She decided to change the topic. "What did Dad tell you?"

The night breeze blew upon them as they stared into each other's eyes.

With the night sky falling before them, it was as if they had been immersed in their own shadows.

Tracy furrowed her eyebrows as she tried to look for the couple. A part of her thought that the couple must've returned to their room, but when she tried knocking on the door, nobody answered.

It seemed that they hadn't returned to their room.

Then where were they?

Noticing that his wife was pacing across the floor, Jonathan set the remote on the table. "What are you looking for?"
