Chapter 427 It Was Awkward

"Thank you."

Rachel took her phone from Gary's grandma. At that moment, her phone rang. Celia's cheerful voice was particularly loud.

"Rachel, are you free right now? I want to buy something for Marcus. Can you come with me?"

Rachel glanced at her watch. It was still too early for dinner, so she agreed. After ending the call, she said goodbye to Tracy and Gary's grandma just as a cab pulled over.

She was about to open the taxi's passenger door when Tracy's voice stopped her. "My car is here. I'll drive you there."

After a barely noticeable pause, Rachel said, "Okay." She walked with Tracy to her car and got in.

It was very quiet in the car, and the silence was broken only by the buzz of warm air wafting from the air conditioner.

Rachel turned her head to look out of the window. After a moment, Tracy asked, "Are you friends with her son?"

Rachel was stunned. How did Tracy know that Gary's grandma had a son? After a few moments of careful thought, she failed to come up with a plausible excuse. Finally, she answered truthfully, "His wife was a patient in our hospital."

Tracy nodded and said nothing. She just tapped the back of the driver's seat and said, "Play some music."

Oddly enough, there was no traffic jam even though it was a weekend. Soon, they arrived at the gate of the shopping mall, and the driver stopped the car. Rachel said her goodbyes and got out of the car.

In the past, she and Tracy had never been close with one another. In the occasions when they had to sit together, they

awkwardly and tried to pretend as if nothing had happened. "Well, I heard that Jack has already been discharged from the hospital. He should have gone home, right? Is everything okay between the two of you?"

As a father-in-law, he shouldn't have been the one to worry about the relationship between his son and his daughter-in-law, but the situation of his family was too complicated. That added to Tracy's remarks earlier made him worry.

Although he admonished his wife severely on the spot, her words instilled a shadow of a doubt in his heart. He could only call Rachel to find out her perspective on the matter.

Rachel didn't know what he was thinking, so she planned to tell him the truth. However, she suddenly recalled the lawyer's words when she signed the divorce agreement, so she held it back. She pursed her lips and said lightly, "Jack and I are doing fine, Dad. Don't worry."

Jonathan heaved a heavy sigh, concern clouding his eyes. After a few moments lost in thought, he finally said, "Rachel, don't mind what other people might say. At first, I insisted on Jack marrying you because I wanted someone to take care of you. But if this marriage is making you unhappy, then I will not object to your divorce with Jack."

Rachel kept silent and said nothing.

After another long pause in their conversation, Jonathan said cautiously, "Don't worry. I will not ask for your child to stay in the Fu family. It will be better for the child to grow up with his mother. Just don't forbid us from visiting the child."
