Chapter 459 Meet A Classmate While Shopping

Rachel tried hard not to say anything just now because she didn't want Lea to get more curious and start to question her. As a matter of fact, she had already thought of some excuses to refuse Lea's invitation. But all of her plans were in vain because of Jack.

Now, she couldn't help but roll her eyes at him.

Jack seemed to have realized that he did something wrong. He silently moved the plate in front of her and said in a low voice, "Rachel, I'll prepare another one for you. Don't be angry."

Rachel was at a loss upon seeing that he was trying to please her. She forced herself not to smile and said, "Then why don't you hurry up?"

She had never liked dumplings before. But since she got pregnant, she started to love them. She could even eat ten dumplings at breakfast.

After finishing the ten dumplings on her plate this morning, Rachel put down her chopsticks. She was about to stand up when she heard Lea's voice from the door. "Rachel, are you ready? I'm here to pick you up."

Lea came in and went to the dining room. When she saw Jack sitting next to Rachel, she just glanced at him and turned back expressionlessly.

"Where is Celia?" Jack asked.

Without even looking at him, Lea replied flatly, "I don't know. Why don't you ask Marcus yourself?"

All of a sudden, there was an inexplicable sense of embarrassment and tension in the air.

Rachel's mou

asked in surprise, "Are you pregnant?"

With a faint smile, Rachel replied, "Yes."

Anna Wu was Rachel and Lea's classmate in junior high school. But they belonged to different circles of friends, so they weren't that close. Actually, they never heard from her after their graduation. Today was the first time they saw her again after so many years.

Rachel didn't know what else to say after a single word reply.

So she just stood there silently, waiting for either Anna or Lea to say something.

However, none of them spoke for a long time. The situation had become embarrassing, so Rachel tugged the hem of Lea's dress and motioned for her to say something quickly.

Lea scratched her head and finally asked, "Anna, are you shopping here too? What did you buy?"

She laughed awkwardly upon realizing how dull her question was.

But it seemed that Anna didn't mind at all. She showed them the two shopping bags in her hands and said with a smile, "I just bought two sets of clothes. I am getting married soon."

With eyes wide open, Lea blurted out, "Really? You look much fatter now than we were in junior high school. I thought you already gave birth and that was why you've gained more weight."

Anna's smile vanished at once, and her face flushed.

With an awkward smile, Rachel changed the topic immediately. "Are you getting married soon? Congratulations!"
