Then Rachel complained, "We are not kids anymore, Jack."
Jack smiled and replied, "But why do I feel like I am only ten years old right now?"
Rachel couldn't help laughing. "Hey, that's enough!" She started to doubt if the Jack in front of her was still the same person. "Stop making fun of me," she added.
Jack came to her and held her hand. He then pulled her closer and started to walk slowly again.
All they could hear around them were crickets and other insects making a sound. It felt good to be away from the hustle and bustle of the city and enjoy a different environment.
Jack finally felt relaxed, so he started flirting with Rachel again. This made her feel that he was now back to his old self.
When Rachel thought of how he looked like earlier, she couldn't help shivering. His dark eyes were so frightening that it really scared her to death.
Rachel pretended to annoy him. She put her hand on his forehead and murmured, "You don't seem to have a fever right now."
Jack pulled Rachel's hand off and continued to tease her. The fireworks were starting to light the sky again, one after another.
Meanwhile, Henry and Lea had been staying at her parental home for a few days now. Apparently, he was being tested by her family. Her father and her two brothers were giving him a hard time.
They were all difficult to deal with. Henry knew that Lea's family was wealthy, but he didn't expect that
nows my relationship with Lea, but I haven't gone back home to talk to them about her pregnancy yet."
Sensing Henry's uncertainty, Lea's father scowled at him and said, "You have to give me a clear answer. Don't be hesitant!"
As a man, Henry wanted to stand for Lea and their baby, so he proposed to her.
And since Lea was now pregnant, they had no choice but to accept Henry to be a part of their family. After all, she had already accepted his marriage proposal.
Lea's father could see that Henry had been well-prepared for this. But he couldn't help wondering why Henry didn't tell his family yet.
It mattered a lot to him that Henry didn't tell his family. How could he allow his daughter to marry Henry in a situation like this?
Henry felt so miserable. The last thing he would want to do right now was face his family's chaos. But he didn't know how to say it in front of Lea's father without being misunderstood.
It wasn't because he didn't want to let them know about Lea's pregnancy.
It was just that it was not the right time.
Thinking that it was not a good idea to reveal his family's scandal in front of Lea's father, he thought for a while and implored, "Dad, I'm begging you. Please give me enough time. I'll talk to them in the right time. I love Lea and I really want to marry her. I am confident that my family will like her. It's just that it's a bit inconvenient to tell them right now."
