Rachel took out a shawl from the cabinet and put it on her shoulders. The moment she opened the door, she saw a pair of feet in front of her. When she looked up, Jack was standing with his hands in his pockets. He sneered, "Why aren't you out today?"
Her brows creased as she asked confusedly, "Why would I?"
"Are you not going to see your little friend and his father?" Jack paused for a second and continued, "For a date?"
Rachel was stunned, mouth agape.
'He's crazy, ' she thought inwardly.
'Jack knew that I had dinner with Gary and Jimmy before, but that was a long time ago. And we have never talked about it since then. What is wrong with him now?' she wondered.
She didn't know what was wrong with him today that he brought it up as soon as he came home. Frowning, she said in a flat voice, "Get out of my way."
Jack took two steps sideways to give way to Rachel. She walked out of the room and gently closed the door. However, he suddenly held her hand and said, "I need to ask you something."
Rachel tried to shake his hand off, but his grip tightened.
"Rachel..." He wanted to increase the strength of his hand, but seeing that her face twisted a little, he couldn't bear it. In the end, he gently pulled her to face him. He cupped her face in his hands so she would meet his eyes. "I just want to ask you a question.
Do you have a close relationship with that father and son?"
Rachel got more confused. She couldn't understand why the first thing Jack did as soon as he arrived was to ask about Jimmy and his son. Was he out of his mind? She fro

Shock was written all over the middle-aged woman's face upon seeing Rachel. Her eyes opened wide, her mouth agape. Surprised too, Rachel hurriedly put down the book.
The middle-aged woman turned around and slowly closed the door. She then asked, "Who are you? What are you doing in our house?"
"I'm Gary's friend. He called me and told me that he was alone at home, so I came here to accompany him."
Rachel stood up and picked up her bag. "Since you're back, I think I can leave him now."
The middle-aged woman looked down, and when she noticed Rachel's protruding belly, her eyes widened again. She pointed at it and asked, "Are you...?"
Rachel looked down at her belly and said lightly, "Oh. Yes, I'm almost six months pregnant."
"No wonder," the middle-aged woman murmured and laughed lightly.
Although Rachel didn't hear it clearly, she knew that it was not a good idea for her to stay because of her identity. So, she just smiled at the middle-aged woman and left. But when she came out of the community and was about to take a taxi, Tracy's voice suddenly rang out behind her. "Rachel!"
She didn't expect to see Tracy here.
Tracy was already walking towards her when Rachel turned around. Tracy asked at once, "What are you doing here?"
"I just visited a friend," Rachel answered with a faint smile.
At this moment, Gary's grandmother came rushing to them while shouting, "Miss, you left your phone."
It was only then that Rachel realized that she put her phone on the couch earlier. But when she left, she only took her bag.
