Jack found himself in a terrible situation. He had eagerly brought Rachel's favorite food and was about to sit with her. But he noticed the round table was occupied by four ladies. Looking around, he found an empty seat and sat down. He waited for them to finish their conversation before going there. From time to time, he would glance at her.
"Hey, Rachel, I see you are pregnant. Didn't your husband come with you today?" Sophie looked at her belly, getting ready to gossip about it with others.
Rachel smiled faintly and said, "Yes, he's here."
At the mention of Jack, it suddenly occurred to her that it had been a long time since he went to fetch food.
She looked around and found that he was surrounded by a group of people.
This was not a surprise because wherever he went, he was always the center of attention.
"Where is he? Why don't you ask him over so that we can say hello?" Sophie asked.
Rachel shook her head as she had no desire to introduce him to Sophie. Suddenly, her phone on the table vibrated. Picking it up, she realized Jack had sent her a message. "Do you want to go home?"
His message brought her relief. "Yes, sure," she replied back.
Then she slowly stood up, pulled her coat and smiled. "I have to go back. You guys enjoy your time."
Sophie hurriedly said, "Hey, it has just been a while since you came. Why are you in a hurry? Stay a little
Rachel stood up and said in a low voice, "I can take a taxi to the hospital. I won't need him to drop me."
"But—" Julie was getting ready to protest but Rachel shushed her. In spite of this, Julie added, "Mr. Fu said it's not safe for you to take a taxi to work."
Shrugging her shoulders, Rachel said, "Taking a taxi is better than drowsy driving, don't you think so?"
Listening to this, Julie had no choice but to nod her head. Soon, Rachel's phone rang. It was the taxi driver she had made an appointment with. He called and informed he was outside.
Rachel grabbed a fruit from the table and walked out.
Soon after she left, Jack came downstairs in a hurry. Busily buttoning up his suit button, he said, "I'm sorry, Rachel. I overslept today. But don't worry, I will take you to work right away."
Unexpectedly, it was Julie who came out of the kitchen. She pointed at the door and said, "Miss Shen took a taxi to work just now. She said you were still sleeping and asked me not to wake you up."
"How long has it been since she left?" Jack asked but there was a smile on his lips. She had done this because she wanted him to sleep well. But if he mentioned this to her, she would object. 'You care for me a great deal. Just admit it, Rachel, ' he thought while his smile deepened.
Julie looked at her watch and said, "I think it has only been ten minutes since she left."
