My Darling, My Dearest

Chapter 452 Nutritious Food

Jack frowned. He had grown a little impatient, but he still let Tracy finish her words. He then said, "Mom, don't think about it anymore. For me, there is only one person in the world who suits me the most, and that is Rachel."

"Son, why don't you listen to me? I'm telling you, if you send Scarlett away and insist on being with Rachel, then you can forget that I am your mother." Tracy glared at him and turned around. With a sullen pout, she crossed her arms on her chest.

She knew that Jack had always been a filial son. If she pretended to disown him, he would have no choice but to give in.

But she forgot that Jack's so-called "submission" always came with a defined purpose.

"Mom, if you really can't accept Rachel and won't treat her well in the future, I'm afraid that this will be the last time I'll come here and call you my mother."

"What?" Tracy turned to look at Jack in disbelief. Fear surged up in her heart as she met his deep- set black eyes. Hoping that she just misheard him, she asked again, "Jack, what did you say just now?" Jack gently patted her shoulder. This time, his voice calmed down. "Mom, I love Rachel. She's the only one I want to be my wife. If you want me to be alone for the rest of my life, it's up to you. You can do whatever you want."

His message was clear. He wouldn't want any other woman except Rachel.

Seeing his firm attitude, Tracy was silent for a moment. After a while, she sighed slightly.

She must admit, she didn't like Rachel. But for the sake of Jack, she could give it a try. After all, Rachel also grew up with them. Obviously, Tracy failed in threatening Jack. In the end, she was the one who needed to give in.

As a mother, she couldn't abandon her son no matter what. She could never watch him live alone all his life.

Thus, she had no choice but to compromise. "Then tell me, why do you have to send Scarlett away? Don't you think it's too much? Since you have completely ended your relationship with her, the most you can do is stop seeing her or communicating with her."

A trace of fury flashed across Jack's eyes upon hearing Tracy's words. "Scarlett is too whimsical. If only she can live her life in peace, I will definitely not force her to leave. But she tried to hurt Rachel and our child. If I hadn't arrived on time yesterday..."

He choked in the middle of his words. It seemed difficult for him to recall what happened the other day. "Mom, let's not talk about it anymore.

"What did you just say?" Jonathan's angry voice resounded the whole living room. He had just come downstairs, but he heard everything that Jack said. Thumping his walking stick heavily on the floor, he said, "What happened yesterday? Tell me exactly."

Rachel was shocked to see the driver of the Fu family arrived at their house with a lot of shopping bags in his hands. She quickly stopped him and asked, "Where did these things come from?"

"Mr. Jonathan Fu bought them." The driver put down the shopping bags and turned around to go out. When he came back, his hands were full again.

As Rachel counted, the driver went to and fro four times. She wanted to ask him if there were still more outside. But the driver clapped his hands and breathed a sigh of relief. "Miss Shen, I've already brought everything inside. I need to go back now to pick up Mr. Fu. He is waiting for me in the food market."

"Dad is in the food market?"

Rachel couldn't believe her ears. As far as she could remember, Jonathan never went to this place. She couldn't help asking with a frown, "Why is he there?" Julie came out of the kitchen with a glass of water in her hand. She handed it to the driver. Perhaps the driver was really thirsty that he drank it up in one gulp. He wiped his mouth with the back of his hand and replied, "He said that fish in the food market are fresh. He wants to buy some to make soup for you."

He then returned the empty glass to Julie and left in a hurry.

Rachel stood with hands on her waist, watching the driver disappear. She then walked to the pile of shopping bags and checked them. There was milk, protein powder, and other nutritious food. After checking each bag, she thought that Jonathan might have bought all the available food for pregnant women in the supermarket.

Julie also came over and looked at them. With eyes wide open, she asked, "Miss Shen, what should we do with all these things?"

"Put them all in the study." The corners of Rachel's mouth twitched helplessly. She was confused.

It had been a while since Jonathan found out that she was pregnant, but he had never done something like this before. He would only call from time to time to ask about her condition.

But today, he bought so many things. He even went to the food market to personally buy fish for her. 'Did he find out what happened yesterday?' she couldn't help thinking inwardly. When Julie went back downstairs, Rachel asked, "Where is Jack?"

"I don't know, Miss Shen. Mr. Fu went out earlier, and he hasn't come back yet." Julie then picked up a few bags and went upstairs again.

In the food market, Jonathan wasn't done looking for a fish yet. He pointed at the fish in the tank and asked in a loud voice, "Is that fish fresh?"

"Of course, it's fresh. Here, take a look." The vendor took a small fishnet with a handle and picked up the fish. He showed it to Jonathan and said, "What do you think? If you want it, I'll pack it for you."

"Yes, I'll take that." Jonathan nudged Jack. "Pay for it."

Jack asked the vendor for the price and took out his wallet. After paying, he looked down at the other bags of fish at his feet and said helplessly, "Dad, don't you think we should go back? Rachel can't eat so many fish in one go. If we put them in the fridge for a few days, they won't be fresh anymore."

Jonathan frowned and countered, "It's doesn't matter. Don't you know that pregnant women have immense mood swings? Rachel may want to eat fish now and want something else later or vice versa."

Jack got his father's point, so he nodded and stopped complaining. Earlier, Jonathan's face flushed with rage after finding out what happened to Rachel yesterday. He even pointed his walking stick to Jack and Tracy and snapped, "Look at what you've done!"

Tracy twitched her mouth and said, "Jonathan, nothing happened. You don't have to be angry like that."

But her words added fuel to the fire.

He yelled, "You must be thankful that nothing happened to her and to my grandson. Otherwise, I won't hesitate to kick both of you out of the Fu family."

After being together for so long, it was the first time that Tracy had seen Jonathan furious, and he even spoke harshly in front of her. She couldn't help shivering as his words sent a chill down her spine.

Jack held Jonathan's walking stick and slowly put it down. "Dad, don't be angry anymore. I swear to you, this won't happen again."

"How can I not be angry?" Jonathan snorted. "For a long time, I've been looking forward to having a grandson. Now that he is coming, someone tried to kill him before he could even see the world."

Tracy lowered her head and didn't say anything. Like Jack, she also felt guilty. After a while, they tried to coax Jonathan to calm down.

When Jonathan finally calmed down, he said that he would buy something for Rachel to replenish her health. He asked Jack to come with him.

When the fish vendor finished dealing with the fish, he packed it neatly in a bag. He handed it to Jack and said, "I heard what you said just now. I know how hard it is to have a pregnant wife. When my wife was pregnant, she once said that she wanted to eat rice pancakes at eleven o'clock in the evening. I went out and looked for it everywhere. But since it was already late at night, all food stands and restaurants were already closed." Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

"Then what happened? What did you do?" Jack asked curiously.

The fish vendor grabbed a towel to wipe his hands, grinned, and answered, "What else could I do? I had to go around and check every street on my bike. It took me more than an hour until I finally found a night market. Fortunately, there was one store selling rice pancakes. But when I came back home, my wife was already sleeping soundly under the quilt."

Jack and Jonathan both burst into laughter.

The fish vendor scratched the back of his head shyly and continued, "But young man, my wife was not too picky compared to other pregnant women. What happened to me was not the most difficult a husband could experience when his wife is pregnant."

Jack was a little stunned. It didn't seem to happen to Rachel ever since she got pregnant.

Whatever Julie prepared on the dining table, she never complained. If she didn't like the food, she would still take a bite or two. Jack had never heard her demand anything she wanted to eat.

He smiled awkwardly and said, "Maybe my wife hasn't reached that stage yet."

"Or maybe you just don't know because you've never cared about her at all." Jonathan's words made him speechless.

Because of what happened to Rachel's parents, they got separated. When he finally got her back, she was already three months pregnant.

And since he paid more attention to his own emotions, he ignored her pregnancy. He got busy messing up with Scarlett to provoke her. Thinking about it now, Jack felt remorseful and blamed himself.

Rachel had been waiting for a while at home, but Jonathan hadn't shown up yet. She began to feel worried. Since it was his first time to go to a food market, she couldn't help thinking that something bad might have happened to him.

After all, the market was always chaotic. Jonathan wouldn't be able to move fast with his walking stick, and he might get hurt. Author's note
