Eric gazed at Jack strangely. "Don't you know?"
"About what?"
"Nothing." Immediately, Eric smoothed his hair, trying to cover the smirk on his face.
Jack frowned. "What's wrong? Tell me."
It seemed that Rachel didn't bother to tell him of her abrupt change of schedule.
'No wonder he came here early in the morning. He doesn't know that Rachel isn't coming back today. They must've had a fight,' Eric thought.
Now, he just felt sorry for him. 'Is Rachel going to dump him?'
He crossed his arms over his chest. "You broke up with each other?"
Jack sneered at Eric's comments. "I won't give up that easily."
Eric scoffed. "Do you even know Rachel? You may not be ready to give up, but I don't think she is the same."
His words were like bullets through Jack's heart. His face hardened, and he didn't say a word.
The noise from the washing machine was the only sound echoing across the household. Eric stared at the machine for a while before he turned to Jack.
He gazed at the floor. Not being able to take it anymore, he looked up at him.
"Hey!"
Jack raised his head, indicating that he was listening.
Eric turned to look at Jack. After a few minutes of contemplation, he continued, "Are you going to wait for
spoiled child who was begging for his mother to come home.
Rachel's mouth twitched. "If everything goes well, I'll be back the day after tomorrow."
As they chatted, he could clearly feel the distance and coldness between them. He tried his best to put everything back together before, but it seemed that their relationship had been pushed further apart. It was all his fault.
Upon facing Rachel's coldness, he felt helpless.
Just when he thought he could have his own happy ending, he had to go ahead and screw it all up.
Honestly, at this point, he didn't know whether Rachel would forgive him after what he had done. He could only hope for the best.
Rachel sighed, breaking the silence. "Aren't you tired of calling?"
He smiled bitterly. "Well, it's my mistake, isn't it? I should make up for it."
Rachel licked her lips. A part of her wanted to ask him if he had already made up his mind, but she felt that it wasn't a good idea to talk about it on the phone. "Look, if there's nothing else, I'll hang up."
"Wait!" He finally got through to her. He wasn't going to let her hang up before he could say anything else.
"What? Is there something you want to say? I have a packed schedule tomorrow, so I need to sleep early."
