Chapter 358 Find Andy

Jack wanted to beg off from Henry's invitation but ended up saying yes. As a concession, he asked for dinner to be at Henry's home instead of at a restaurant.

At that moment, Lea was handing pieces of a jigsaw puzzle to Rita. When she heard, she raised her head to look at Henry, who was sitting on the sofa, and asked in confusion, "Weren't you planning to have dinner at a restaurant or a club? Why are you having dinner here? You know that I can't let you drink at home."

Henry put down the remote control, raised an eyebrow teasingly, and answered with a smile, "I haven't touched a drop of alcohol since the last time. Why can't you recognize that I have changed?"

"Changed?"

Lea couldn't stop laughter from escaping her lips. Rita raised her head, opened her eyes wide, and looked at her mother curiously, probably wondering what was wrong with her.

She rubbed Rita's head and said, "Looks like you now have a deep understanding of how undesirable your past behavior was."

"Thanks to my wife's guidance," Henry promptly replied with a serious nod.

"So you do have a conscience, after all," she countered teasingly.

The doorbell rang while they were exchanging humorous banter. When Henry opened the door and saw Jack standing outside, he looked behind him and asked with a frown, "Where is Rachel? Didn't she come with you?"

Since the dinner venue had changed, Henry also invited Rachel over the phone.

It was strange of her not to make an appearance.

Lea added, "Is she on night duty today?"

Jac

recently and we haven't discussed it yet. Since he has sent us an invitation, we can't let him lose face, right?" Jack glanced at Rachel from the corner of his eye and found her with her eyes closed, lips pouted like a little girl who was denied her lollipop.

Before he know what he was doing, he gently pinched those pouting lips. "I promise you, we'll just go there, sit down and chat for a while before going home. Sounds good?"

Rachel lightly slapped away his hand and said drowsily, "Okay."

All who went to engagement ceremonies were like wolves in sheep's clothing. Everyone had an ulterior motive. In fact, the people attending the ceremony didn't really wish the couple happiness⁠—they only grabbed the opportunity to talk about business.

However, although Rachel didn't really want to go, she could not refuse Jack's request. In front of him, she was finding it harder to hide what she truly was feeling in her heart.

On the next day, Rachel knocked on the door of the director's office with a note and said in a low voice, "Director, I need to attend an engagement party in the afternoon, so I have to leave two hours earlier."

With a frown on his face, the director put down his pen, crossed his hands in front of him, and coughed slightly. "Rachel, you can be very dedicated to your work, but what's wrong with you these past few days? Why have you been asking for leave day after day? You are now a senior surgeon in the hospital, so you can't do this. Your actions will set a negative example for others."
