Jack frowned slightly, feeling uncomfortable. When he saw that Rachel looked back, he tried to put his hand down and forced an emotionless face.
However, it was already too late.
"Are you having a stomachache?" She frowned. "Have you had dinner?"
Jack hesitated, unsure on what to tell her.
At his hesitation, her face darkened. "Don't lie to me."
"No, I haven't," he said sulkily.
Besides, he knew for a fact that the truth would garner her attention,
and it did. Throughout the entire day, she had given him her undivided attention.
Rachel was the one who supervised and cared for him as if he was her patient. When she heard that he hadn't had dinner yet, she decided to take up other measures.
She pulled Jack onto the sofa and asked him to sit down as if she was instructing a disobedient child. She crossed her arms over her chest. "Don't run around. I'll cook you a bowl of noodles in a bit."
Without another word, she turned towards the kitchen and opened the refrigerator.
Judging from all the fresh ingredients, it was obvious that they were just bought recently. Her lips turned after surveying all of them.
"Tell them not to buy so many things next time," sh
Rachel nodded.
"I heard that he has a girlfriend," he said. "But I haven't met her. Is it Lea then?"
She nodded in reply.
Astonishment painted across his face as his eyes widened momentarily. "Really?"
Rachel leaned over. "Did you know?"
He observed Rachel's expression carefully before replying, "I didn't know about that."
Rachel's shoulders sagged in disappointment. "I thought you would know more about it."
"You're her friend. Why don't you know?"
Given their schedule conflicts, Rachel didn't know much of what was happening in Lea's life anymore.
She didn't even know her boyfriend was Henry. The mere fact made her feel embarrassed. Why didn't she know about it?
They had the same circle of friends, yet it seemed that she and Jack had been clueless this entire time.
'Wait! Something's not right.' A thought came to her as she stared suspiciously at the man beside her.
"What's the matter?" he asked.
"How could you not know?"
Jack was startled at the accusation.
Rachel folded her arms across her chest and raised her eyebrows. "I remember that you and Henry visited my home. You guys even met Lea. At that time, the two were at odds with each other."
