Stuck in you

Chapter 164 Shopping In The Supermarket

After making sure that the child was fine, Jack nodded to Rona and then pushed the cart away with Rachel.

Rona stood there in surprise, and stared at their receding backs. She had a confused expression on her face.

She was completely unprepared to run into Jack and Rachel together there.

Did Jack really accompany Rachel when she went shopping?

As she thought of her close friend, Rona felt too upset to say anything.

For Jack and Rachel, coming across Rona unexpectedly was not a big deal. But to Rona, it was like being struck by lightning.

Rona didn't come back to her senses until Jack nodded at her and left.

She heard someone else asking her, "Is your brother all right?"

"The boy is crying. Pick him up."

The noise bothered her and made her anxious, so she pulled the little boy up from the floor.

"Stopping crying. Where's the nanny?" she said impatiently.

They walked out of the children's toy area. As for Rachel, meeting Rona was no different from meeting any other acquaintance.

However, Jack's conscience was uneasy, so he observed her cautiously. When he saw that she seemed to be normal and natural, he felt a little relieved.

Rona was Celine's best friend. He couldn't help thinking of his ex-girlfriend when he saw her.

However, what he really cared about was whether Rachel would mind.

He was afraid that she would feel upset to be reminded of his former relationship.

He was also worried that they would lose their good mood. They talked about the chaotic conditions of the shopping mall just now. They rarely had the same opinions, but they both agreed that this mall was very poorly managed. When they chatted, the atmosphere was naturally harmonious.

Rachel's face revealed no change of emotion. Seeing her like that, Jack secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that she might be affected by that encounter.

After talking about what happened just now, Rachel continued, "Those parents should take better care of their children. If my son was there, I wouldn't let him to make a scene in public."

She only said that to make her point about the noisy kid. But she saw an interesting gleam in Jack's eyes, and then he smiled with his lips slightly pursed.

"You will be a good mother," he said.

Rachel wasn't sure how to answer that. 'I will be a good mother? How did that come up?'

"The only thing we don't have now is a child," he added.

Rachel pretended not to hear his words, pushing the cart forward a few steps. Her eyes wandered across the vegetable shelves. She asked him, "What do you want to eat?"

Jack leaned towards her and extended his hand to take an eggplant from the shelf. "How about stewed eggplant?"

"That's too oily for you right now." Rachel took it from him and put it back on the shelf. "Pick another one."

With his deep eyes, he glanced at the vegetables. With a faint smile at the corners of his mouth, he said, "It's up to you."

Rachel was carefully exploring the bedding aisle. She pushed the cart and slowly walked away. Her cooking schedule for Jack was carefully customized based on what foods were good for his stomach. Before she came to the supermarket, she had already knew what to buy. However, she still liked to check with him about what he liked first.

Hearing his words, Rachel thought that Jack might misunderstand her, so she explained, "You can choose whatever you like, and we can change the method of cooking. You just need to avoid eating dishes that are very oily or spicy."

He stood tall and straight, with one hand in his pocket. He picked up a box of tomatoes and flipped it over. "I'm not really in the mood for anything. Why don't you give me some suggestions? How about that? My private doctor."

His voice was husky and seductive. He was really doing a good job flirting with her.

Rachel turned her head away, thinking he was going too far, even though he had tried to say it with a simple voice.

So she tried to brush it off. She made a murmur vaguely and looked around, pretending to be busy. "Let me have a look..."

Unaware of what she was thinking, Jack took over the cart and followed her in a leisurely manner. This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Both of them were attractive in appearance, which caused many people to turn and look at them.

But they stared at Jack the most. He really stood out from the crowd, with his handsome appearance and strong build.

Despite so much attention bearing down on him, he pretended not to notice it.

They selected a few vegetables and spareribs. It might be a little late in the evening, but Rachel planned to stew yam and pork rib soup for him the next day. So she picked out the ingredients, and went back to the fresh fruit section.

It was the season when there were plenty of watermelons, peaches, and other fruits displayed on the shelves in order.

Some of the watermelons were cut into small pieces and wrapped in plastic box. Rachel wasn't interested in those, so she turned her eyes to the big, full watermelons on the long cabinet.

Her eyes lit up. She pointed at them and said, "Can you choose a good watermelon? Go and pick a sweet one."

Jack could choose vegetables well, but he was not good at choosing fruits.

It was hard to find a very sweet one.

After pondering for a moment, Jack couldn't still couldn't see any differences among those watermelons.

When he turned his head and saw an older man next to him who was choosing the watermelon by tapping them, Jack asked humbly, "Hi, can you tell me how to choose a watermelon?"

Rachel, who was looking at other fruits, turned around and continued to look around, pretending not to see him.

There was a broad selection of imported fruits on the shelves, but Rachel didn't find any fruit she wanted to eat.

Then she picked several apples. When she came back, she saw that Jack was tapping the watermelons.

At that same moment, two girls came over. They had come up to Jack on their own initiative, to show him how to choose a good watermelon.

He was about to turn them away politely, but the girls looked too young. He didn't want to frighten them with a stern face.

When he was about to say something, he looked up and saw Rachel standing not far away with the cart. She had a faint smile.

His heart tightened. He put down the watermelon, and went to Rachel.

The two girls followed his figure and looked away when they saw that he was close to a woman and that they were talking intimately.

They looked at each other, sighed and began to choose their watermelon.

After a while, they heard the sound of wheels behind them. One of the young girls quickly raised her hand and pushed her friend forward, who was a little excited.

The young girl turned around to see the handsome man coming back, with his girlfriend with him.

The two little girls' eyes lit up and they looked at them in a stealthy manner. They whispered to each other.

Rachel was concentrating on the watermelons. In fact, she didn't know how to pick a good one either.

She remembered vaguely about how to pick watermelons from others.

'How do I get a good one? What's the right way to judge whether it's good by tapping it?'

Rachel cast her perplexed eyes at Jack, who was pretending that he knew everything as he touched those watermelons one by one.

However, he hadn't actually picked a good one yet. When he was about to speak, the girl next to him asked in a low voice,

"Are you celebrities?"

Rachel and Jack exchanged an amused glance.

They were flattered to hear other people praising them for looking so good in public.

Receiving no answer from them, these two girls assumed they must be stars. Otherwise how could they look so glamorous?

Then they brought out a pen and paper for their signature.

Seeing this, Rachel turned her head away to hide her titter. Jack put on a serious face. However, the two girls were not intimidated by him at all.

He looked so cool to them that they even wanted to take a photo with him.

Jack was speechless, while Rachel was laughing like a girl.

She reached out and poked his back, bearing her laughter, and said, "Hurry up, you'd better give them an autograph."

In the end, the two girls went away joyfully, having got his signature. The scribbles on the paper were so delicate that nobody could tell what he wrote.

Even so, the young girls had no doubt that Jack and Rachel were celebrities.

It was normal for celebrities to sign autographs like this. Moreover, their handwriting was elegant and sharp.

Before leaving, the two girls asked them their names. They thought they were stars, so they did a web search for them on their phones. They couldn't find anything for the search of Rachel Shen.

But when they searched for Jack Fu, they were astonished.

Jack didn't care if anyone thought he was a star. As for being a handsome man, it was understandable for others to think so.

In the end, they picked up a cute watermelon.

They pushed the cart to the cashier.

They didn't know that someone had been watching the whole scene, with jealousy and indignation in her eyes.

'The woman beside him is not Celine anymore, but Rachel.

Has Jack got back together with Rachel? I thought he was head over heels in love with Celine. What's wrong?'

However, Rona had no idea that Jonathan had forced Celine to leave the city.

It was also impossible for Celine to mention that shameful thing to Rona on the phone.

Whether she came back secretly or not, she would be forced to leave the city in no more than two days.

She made all kinds of excuses, saying there was something wrong with her family, her company, or her rent deposit.

In the end, she had no choice but to leave. Celine was very angry, but she couldn't do anything about it.

At the moment, she realized how much power and influence the Fu family had in Ninwell City.

She also regretted breaking up with Jack. Now she couldn't get in touch with him, no matter how hard she tried.

However, what Celine said to the outside world, even to Rona, was that she didn't love Jack anymore and that she wanted to breathe the fresh air of a new environment.
