After a moment of silence, Rachel said honestly, "I don't know either."
"You don't know either?" Lea adjusted her posture, stretched out her originally crossed legs, and placed them on Henry's lap, fully enjoying his massage. She continued, "But he's doing well now. At least he can help massage your feet. Henry had never done this to me when I was pregnant with Rita. Anyway, I think that you two should stop fighting and get back together. After all, you'll have a child."
"I'll think about it," Rachel carefully replied. Her heart was already wavering even before she spoke to Lea. Now that she had heard her friend's opinion, her resolve was even more shaken.
On the following morning, Rachel was awakened by delicious scent.
It was something delicate and appetizing, which made her stomach growl. She didn't eat much last night, and she fell asleep hungry.
Right now, she felt ravenous.
She lay in the bed and stretched like a cat. She pushed up on her elbows to sit up. The door was gently pushed open from the outside. Jack walked in with a tray in his hand. He smiled like the sun and said, "Perfect timing."
"What did you cook? It smells delicious." Rachel tied back her hair with a ponytail and peeked at the contents of the tray in his hands.
Jack placed the tray on the bedside table. "I cooked porridge using the leftover chicken soup from last night. Have a taste."
Rachel accepted the spoon offered by Jack and blew on its contents first before gulping it down. The porridge t
good."
Rachel said, "It's just porridge with chicken soup. I brought a lot of it. Would you like to have some?"
"Of course!" As soon as she heard the offer for free breakfast, her colleague stopped clearing up the documents on her desk, took out her own lunch box from her drawer, and followed Rachel into her office.
Smelling the fragrance of porridge and looking at the fruits in the box, the colleague said with admiration, "Rachel, you are amazing! We have to clock in early for work, yet you still have time to prepare so much delicious food."
She shoveled spoonfuls of porridge into her mouth one after another and sighed, saying feelingly, "This porridge is so delicious. I used to hate eating porridge with chicken soup the most because the ones I've had before tasted really weird, but this is really good. Rachel, can you teach me how to cook this?"
Rachel smiled and replied, "I did not cook that."
"Did you buy it, then?" the colleague continued to ask.
This time, Rachel didn't answer, so her colleague took her silence as a yes. She suddenly quieted down and focused her attention to the porridge in front of her. Soon, she finished the porridge, letting out a loud burp as she wiped her mouth with a tissue.
She leaned back against her chair and rubbed her belly. She was about to say something to Rachel when her phone vibrated and distracted her. She quickly opened WeChat and zoomed in the photo she had just received. Her frown deepened the longer she stared at the photo.
