After dinner, Rachel called Lea to check on her. To her relief, Lea sounded calm on the other end of the line when she said, "Don't worry. I'll talk to Henry and settle this problem with him."
Rachel felt warm in her heart. She then reminded Lea, "Just don't be impulsive. Think about everything carefully before you both make a decision."
Lea couldn't help laughing. She deliberately teased, "I know, Mom!"
Jack, who was listening to Rachel, felt a little jealous. She was so worried about Lea.
But since Lea was Rachel's best friend, he must understand.
For Jack, this kind of issue was just trivial. If Henry and Lea really loved each other, why didn't they just get married?
On the other hand, if they had no feelings for each other, it would be meaningless to keep the baby.
If they thought that the baby was just an obstacle, they should have just given it up.
This was Jack's viewpoint but he couldn't say it in front of Rachel.
He wouldn't want to anger her.
When Rachel hung up the phone, Jack immediately asked hypocritically, "How is it? What did she say?"
Rachel took a deep breath and replied slowly, "Well, there is no big problem for the time being. She said they will think about it carefully."
After a while, she added "We...better be careful." Jack was stunned by her words.
He couldn't understand what she meant. "What? Careful about what?"
Rachel looked up at him. She bit her lips slightly. Feeling extreme
beside her to cheer her up. Henry grasped her hand and said in a gentle voice, "Don't frown so hard. You have me."
Lea held his hand tightly and said deliberately, "Well, this is your turn. If my father beats me, you must protect me."
He nodded and said, "Of course. I will always protect my wife."
It was the first time that Henry had called her wife. She didn't know that it would feel so good. She smiled as her eyes suddenly filled with tenderness.
'Fine! I'll stop worrying about it. Whatever happens, just let it be,' she thought.
She had to accept the consequences of her actions.
Then Henry shamelessly added, "I'm a good-looking guy. Your father will surely not hit me."
Lea was rendered speechless. What a narcissist!
Rachel was in a good mood after knowing that her best friend's problem was finally solved.
Jack was in a good mood too.
No wonder Austin also felt relieved. The pressure these past few days had finally vanished.
In the past two days, he noticed that his boss always had a smile on his face. However, he couldn't understand why it was inexplicably making him feel bad.
Jack's face was always expressionless. It was difficult to tell if he was happy or angry.
For people who didn't know Jack, it must be hard to understand. But for Austin, who was always with him in the office, it was very easy to tell. He couldn't help thinking that Rachel was more capable of affecting Jack's mood compared to Celine.
