Rachel remembered the way Holley looked at her on the bus. It was like she was Holley's prey.
Holley stood for a while before saying embarrassingly, "Rachel, please forgive me."
"Huh? What?" Rachel pretended to be in a daze for a short while. She then put on a cold look and said with a faint smile, "It's alright."
Holley deliberately ignored Rachel's coldness and continued to cling on her intimately.
But before she could speak again, Rachel pulled her arm away. The smile on Holley's face froze for a few seconds, and then darkness flashed across her eyes quickly.
However, she acted to feel hurt, so when she raised her head, her eyes filled with tears.
"Rachel,
I'm sorry." Rachel opened her mouth and apologized, "I'm sorry. I just don't like being so close to anyone."
Holley had been ready to act well, but she was interrupted by what Rachel said.
She pulled her hand awkwardly and said, "Sorry, I'm just a little sensitive."
"You don't have to be so cautious," Rachel said. "I don't think you should be ashamed of who you are."
Holley's eyes lit upon hearing Rachel's words. She pursed her lips without saying anything.
Over the past few days, Jack's car had frequently parked in the same location outside the hous
ned up the sofa.
A few moments later, the living room went back to its original look. Jack impatiently looked at his watch, hoping that Rachel would come back sooner.
After cleaning the whole living room, Eric took the quilt and brought it upstairs to his room.
He then collected the dirty plates and glasses. The kitchen was also in a total mess.
For Eric, being in disarray was just a normal thing.
But this was Rachel's house. He could only mess up with things here because she was not around.
If Rachel came back and saw this, he would definitely be in trouble.
At half past ten, Eric had finally finished cleaning up the last pile of garbage.
Jack was just watching him impatiently.
When everything around the house looked okay, Eric collected his dirty clothes and rushed to the laundry room. If Rachel saw his dirty clothes, she might throw them all away.
He dumped all his dirty clothes into the washing machine and pressed the start button. Now he was completely relieved.
He leaned against the door frame, looking exhausted.
Out of the corner of his eyes, he saw Jack squinting at him.
He turned to him and asked lazily, "What else do you want?"
Jack walked up to him and asked, "When is Rachel coming back?"
