After they left, Rachel took two steps to the side and shook off Jack's hand. "You can go shopping by
yourself. I'm going home."
"What's the point of shopping alone? Besides, if the baby knows that the crib is bought by the two of
us, he will be really happy." Jack held her hand again and walked slowly towards a maternal and infant
shop downstairs.
That was the character of Jack. Even if Rachel didn't talk to him, he could keep talking on the side.
Feeling annoyed, Rachel rolled her eyes, but Jack didn't show any anger. Instead, the gentle smile in
his eyes became more and more intense. "I want the baby to listen to his father's voice more, so that
he can recognize me as soon as he is born.
At this time, a clear female voice cut through the noise, and poured into everyone's ears like a clear
stream. With her eyes fixed on them, Rachel saw Scarlett running down from the elevator and rushing
towards them. She tightly grabbed the arms of Jack, "Jack, why are you here? Are you here for me?"
"Let me go!" Jack didn't expect to meet Scarlett in the mall. He took a look at Rachel subconsciously
and saw a trace of disgust in her eyes.
His face darkened, and there was an indescribable desolation and coldness in his expression.
"Scarlett, I should have made it clear to you. Get out of here right now!"
"Get out?" Scarlett raised her head and suddenly burst into laughter, tears streaming down the corners
of her eyes. She reached out again to pull Jack, and said in a voice that was not reconciled, "Jack, I'm
not a machine. I'm a person, and I also have feelings. We love each other so much, why do you end it
so easily?"
The noise of the quarrel was not low. The shop assistants nearby heard the noise and came out one
after another. They stood at the door of their own shop and whispered to them. Many words like
"mistress, love triangle" spread to Rachel's ears, which only made her feel ashamed and embarrassed.
She took off Jack's hand and said expressionlessly, "Take your time. I'm leaving now. I won't disturb
you."
She didn't want to stay here and continue to be the gossip of these shop assistants.
Jack wanted to catch up with her, but he found that the current situation was indeed not suitable. He
said coldly, "Don't cry. Come out with me!"
After finding a relatively quiet place, Jack looked at Scarlett, who was sobbing non-stop, without a trace
of pity in his heart, but only disgust and regret.
"Scarlett, I have made myself clear to you. If you do this again, you know the consequences."
There was no expression on Jack's face and no emotion in his voice.
Scarlett was stunned. She just came out of the clothing store and asked several shops, but they didn't
allow her to return the clothes.
Among them, she had been looked down upon by many shop assistants.
She didn't expect to see Jack being with Rachel.
She had never seen such a gentle and even flattering Jack.
He had never treated her like this before.
From beginning to end, it was she who tried to please him, but Jack didn't even bother to look at her!
When she came to her senses, she had already gone to hold Jack's hand.
Scarlett took two steps forward. When she was about to get close to Jack, she immediately took a few
steps back when she saw the look in his eyes.
She looked at him almost pleadingly, "Jack, I don't want anything. You just want me to stay with you.
Don't drive me away, okay?"
Jack didn't even give her a look and left directly. All he thought about was Rachel.
After walking out of the shopping mall, Rachel thought that since she had asked for leave, she would
not go to the hospital but go home directly.
Now her belly was getting bigger and bigger. After shopping for an hour, she was very tired. As soon as
she lay on the bed, the bedroom door was gently pushed open from the outside. With a flattering smile
on the corner of Jack's mouth, he asked, "Are you feeling better, Rachel? I just passed by a dessert
shop and bought your favorite dessert. Would you like to have a taste?"
"No, thanks. I need to go to bed now." Rachel slowly lay down.
He came in with the desserts in his hands and put them on the side. He asked in a low voice, "Did you
take a taxi back just now?"
Rachel yawned and asked in confusion, "So I should come back on foot?"
"Rachel, don't worry. It won't happen again." He bent over and gently tucked her in. He didn't notice the
flash of expression on Rachel face.
After tucking himself in, Jack stood by the bed silently for a moment and said, "It was all my fault
before. Can you forgive me?"
Those so-called contracts and those so-called deliberate provocation made her angry. Now thinking
about it, they were all like children playing house. It was ridiculous. Jack didn't know why, but once all
the problems were related to Rachel, he would instantly lose all his senses.
What's more, he just heard what happened between Jimmy and Rachel from Tracy. Although he knew
that it was impossible and false, he unconsciously began to believe it.
There was a slight change in Rachel's heart, but there was still no expression on her face. She pulled
the quilt, put her chin on the soft quilt and said as if nothing had happened, "There's no need to
apologize to me. Anyway, we won't have any contact in the future."
"I have to say what I should say." Jack smiled, knowing that it was still a long way to get Rachel's
forgiveness.
Rachel yawned again and said, "Now that you have finished your words, I need to rest. Please close
the door for me."
After saying that, Rachel closed her eyes and didn't say anything more. However, after lying down for a
while, she felt that her original sleepiness suddenly disappeared. She tossed and turned for a long
time, but she couldn't fall asleep. On the contrary, her bones seemed to be a little painful. In addition,
there was a knock from the next door, so she got up again, put on her coat, and followed the sound to
find that Jack was assembling a baby bed in an empty room.
He rolled up his sleeves, with a hammer in one hand and a nail in the other. When he was about to
knock it on, the sweat on his forehead was slowly sliding down along his face.
Rachel asked, "When did you buy this bed?
"Ah!" Jack suddenly screamed. The hammer in his hand did not hit the nail, but directly hit his fingertips
heavily. After a scream, the hammer fell heavily on his feet.
It never occurred to Rachel that there would be such a series of consecutive reactions. She hurried
forward, grabbed his hand and looked at it. The nail polish of his thumb had instantly turned black,
which must be very painful. As for his foot... She bent down slightly and said, "Take off the socks
quickly. Let me check."
"I'm fine." Jack grabbed her hand. The pain on his face was gone, but there was a trace of joy on it.
"Rachel, you still care about me, right?"
Rachel was speechless.
She silently pulled her hand back and looked away with a strange expression, without saying anything.
Jack also knew that he couldn't walk too fast to get her back. He turned his head to look at the baby
bed which was just assembled and answered, "I bought this bed after you left. Yu have checked a lot of
information about this bed before. I guess this is what you want to buy, right?"
Rachel nodded. She was a little surprised that Jack was so observant. It was undeniable that she was
touched at this moment.
Jack looked at her deeply and asked softly, "Did I wake you up? I didn't expect the voice to be so loud."
"It's okay." She shook her head and said, "Actually, you can ask the staff of the store to assemble it.
You don't have to do it yourself."
"It's meaningful to do it by myself, isn't it?" Jack reached out his hand and habitually tried to tuck
Rachel's hair behind her ears.
As soon as Jack reached out his hand, Rachel's eyes swept over him. Subconsciously, he withdrew his
hand, lowered his body and wiped his trousers awkwardly. He was like a pupil who had done
something wrong and was caught by the teacher. He explained with embarrassment, "My hand was a
little dirty just now, so..."
Seeing the embarrassment on his face, she turned around and left. To her surprise, she received a call
from [杨晨宇]. "Honey, do you have time to have a drink with me? I have something to tell you."
"What is it? Can't you tell me on the phone?" Asked Rachel.
Jimmy chuckled. Even through the phone, Rachel could clearly feel that he was in a good mood. He
said, "Of course I can say it on the phone, but I want to express my gratitude to you face to face."
"Express your gratitude?" Rachel repeated with a frown.
Since the incident last time, although Jimmy said that it had nothing to do with Rachel, there was more
or less a trace of emotion in his words. When facing her, his attitude was always neither cold nor warm.
Rachel wasn't stupid, and she felt it.
But today, it was completely different.
Jimmy smiled deeply. "Yesterday, Mr. Jared called me again and signed a new contract with me. He
said that he would sell electric appliances to us at the factory price, and it's a contract of ten years. This
time, with the contract in hand, they can't break it at all. I know that you must have been dealing with it
all the time."
Hearing that, Rachel was a little confused. After she talked with Jared on the phone last time, she knew
that it was Jack who had tampered with it, so she had no contact with Jared anymore.
She knew that she went to ask Jared for help just to put pressure on him.
