After saying just a few words, Jack hung up the phone. His face suddenly looked stern as he patted the driver's seat and said anxiously, "Stop the car right now."
Scarlett, who was sitting beside him, vaguely heard the word "Miss" during his conversation on the phone. She had a bad feeling about it. And before she could even react, she heard Jack's cold voice. "Get out of the car now and take a taxi going there. I have something important to deal with."
"What happened? I'll go with you," Scarlett said, unwilling to give up.
"No need," Jack replied with a frown. Seeing that she hadn't moved yet, he got out of the car and turned to the other side. After opening the door, he pulled her out quickly and got back in.
His car then drove away in a flash.
Scarlett stood on the roadside alone, wearing only a black off-shoulder dress. Her bag and coat were left in the car. Good thing she was always holding her phone, so it was with her.
When the cold wind blew, she shivered. Her face flushed with anger now. She gritted her teeth as she stared at the direction where the car had just disappeared.
It must be Rachel. Only Rachel's phone call could make Jack that anxious and leave her out of nowhere unhesitatingly.
It took her a lot of effort to convince Jack to attend the wedding with her. But in the end, she was only abandoned halfway. Rachel always ruined her plans.
The intense jealousy that Scarlett felt was like a venom that spiked her heart. She curled up on the ground, wanting to scream or beat someon
e happened to enter the bedroom with a bowl of porridge she had just made. Subconsciously, she walked lightly, poked her head on the bed, and asked in a low voice, "Has Miss Shen fallen asleep?"
"Yes." Only in a time like this that Jack could look at Rachel unscrupulously.
He reached out his hand and gently stroked her forehead, trying to smooth the wrinkles on it. But when his fingertips touched her face, her eyelids moved as if she was about to wake up. Frightened, he quickly withdrew his hand.
Julie put the tray on the bedside table and said softly, "She hasn't slept well these past few days. She often wakes up around three in the morning and walks back and forth in her room."
"Why?" Jack turned to look at Julie.
Julie pointed at Rachel's swollen belly and answered, "This usually happens in the later stage of pregnancy. Her big belly makes her uncomfortable to sleep."
Jack stared at Rachel with a frown but said nothing. His deep-set black eyes were full of pity and reluctance.
Julie didn't want to disturb the moment that they were finally together, so she picked up the tray and said, "I'll just bring the porridge back downstairs. I'll reheat it when Miss Shen wakes up."
Sleeping soundly, Rachel was not aware that Jack and Julie had talked so much. In her sleep, she was gently floating in the air. But after a while, she got so tired that she wanted to go down. She wanted to find a place where she could lie steadily. However, no matter how hard she tried to land on the ground, it was useless.
