As expected, Eric said, "Rachel, I have something to deal with tonight, so I will be back home late. My mom needs some medicine for her stomach so..."
He deliberately paused as if expecting Rachel to say something. She understood his purpose, so she asked, "What is her medicine? I'll buy it from the pharmacy and bring it to her."
Since Linda had to take her medicine at lunchtime, Rachel took a taxi to Eric's house during her lunch break. As soon as she entered the community, she saw a man who looked familiar to her.
She tried to recall in her memory who that man was. After taking a few more steps, she thought, 'Is that Kale?
Why is he here? Does he also live here?'
She was lost in thought when she suddenly heard Linda's voice. "Rachel?"
When she saw Linda walking towards her, Rachel composed herself. Seeing her holding a purse, she asked with a smile, "Aunt Linda, where are you going?"
"I run out of medicine, so I'll go to the pharmacy while the rain has stopped." Linda pointed to the pharmacy across the gate of the community.
Rachel raised the paper bag in her hand and slightly shook it. "You don't need to go to the pharmacy anymore. Eric called me and asked me to bring your medicine here."
Linda nodded and ushered her back to Eric's apartment. Rachel looked back to check if Kale was still there, and she saw him getting in a taxi. When they were in the living room, she asked curiously, "Aunt Linda, did Kale come to visit you just now?"
"Yes." The smile on Linda's face dissipated as she
proud of himself for obtaining an original painting of a retired painter.
On the other hand, Tracy seemed to be at a loss. She took an apple from the fruit tray and handed it to Linda, but the latter refused. "I don't want that."
"How about an orange?" She immediately put back the apple and picked up an orange.
However, Linda still refused. She replied, "My skin turns yellow every time I eat oranges, that's why I stopped eating them for a long time now."
Tracy's face darkened at once. She had never been treated like this before. But when she remembered the past, she suppressed her annoyance and asked with a smile, "What do you want to eat then?"
Linda held her hand and smiled. "I'm not here for fruits. Let's just talk about Jack and Rachel's wedding."
"Oh, yes. I almost forgot." Tracy felt embarrassed, but her grin widened.
Although she was a little uneasy about the couple's remarriage, she couldn't say anything against it since Jonathan had already agreed.
Jack and Rachel were sitting on a stone bench in the yard. He was busy with the documents in his hand while she was slightly flipping through the magazine.
For her, magazines didn't have any substantial content, so she was not into reading them. But now, she thought that this was much better than listening to the elders inside the house.
He put down the documents and turned to face her. Seeing that she was reading the magazine uninterestingly, he smiled and asked, "Are you not curious about how they are going to arrange our wedding?"
