Stuck in you

Chapter 476 Shifted Attention

Then the three of them walked out together.

With a slight sigh, Eric stood up and followed up. His plan to leave had been delayed because of the emergency of Jack.

At night, Rachel tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.

She always slept on time. But this night, she couldn't fall asleep no matter how hard she tried. All she thought about was Jack.

Rachel didn't know how long she had been lying on the bed. When she opened her eyes, she found that she was not sleepy at all. So she picked up her pajamas and put them on the bed. Then she opened the door and was about to go downstairs to run a glass of milk for herself.

When she passed by the door of the study, she saw a glimmer of light coming out from the crack of the door.

When Rachel gently pushed the door open, she saw that Jack was standing by the window with his back to the door, his shoulders taut and motionless.

He looked calm on the surface, but in fact, he was still very worried about this matter?

Pursing her lips slightly, Rachel felt a pang of heartache in her heart. She gently shouted, "Jack, haven't you gone to bed yet?"

"Eh? Why are you up?" When Jack turned around, the corners of his mouth had already been raised to both sides. He walked over and took Rachel's hand to sit on the sofa.

Rachel raised her head and looked into his eyes, which were bloodshot.

During this period of time, he helped to deal with Rachel's aunt's affairs. He didn't have a good rest, and now such a thing happened again. Rachel gently patted the seat next to him and said, "Have a seat here."

"I'm not tired." Jack shook his head with a smile.

Rolling her eyes, Rachel thought for a while and said, "But I have to look up at you when you talk to me like this. I'm very tired."

Hearing this, Jack sat down.

In order to distract him, Rachel took Jack's hand and put it on her belly. She smiled, "I haven't given you the feeling as a father."

"Feel what?" Jack didn't know what to do. He didn't dare to put his hand down on her belly.

Seeing him like this, Rachel couldn't help smiling, "Of course feel the movement of the baby in my belly. Don't hold your hand, just put it on my belly."

"Really? Will it hurt him?" Jack still had some doubts.

Hurt?

Hearing this, Rachel burst into laughter. "How could it hurt him? Don't worry."

Jack slowly put down his hand and put it against Rachel's belly. He frowned tightly and didn't dare to relax at all. After waiting for nearly five minutes, he suddenly smiled at her and said, "The baby is moving."

"Of course." Looking at his childish smile, the tenderness in Rachel's eyes became more and more intense. "The baby doesn't always sleep in my belly. Sometimes he will wake up and move."

"He is so lively. He must be very cute in the future." With a complacent smile at the corners of his mouth, Jack looked at her proudly and said, "Our baby must be smarter than other children."

Looking at his complacent face, Rachel was at a loss whether to cry or to laugh, but she sighed in her heart.

From pregnancy to now, the two of them had experienced so many things. These should be the warm moments that a couple would enjoy when the wife was pregnant. It was not until now that they finally felt it.

She couldn't help feeling bitter in her heart, but more importantly, she felt a little lucky.

Fortunately, the two of them could regain their senses at the last moment and continue to hold each other's hands.

Jack put the other hand on Rachel's belly and kept murmuring. Every time the baby stretched his hands and feet, he would scream excitedly.

Such a man let Rachel feel a little strange, but inexplicably, she felt that this scene was somewhat familiar, as if she had seen it many times.

The two of them sat on the sofa and talked about the baby. Almost an hour had passed unconsciously.

Seeing that Rachel covered her mouth with her hand, Jack held her hand to stand up. "It's getting late. Go to bed first."

"What about you?" Indeed, Rachel also felt that her eyelids were a little heavy, as if she could hardly open them.

Jack looked back at the desk and said, "Maybe a while later. I still have some documents to deal with."

"Can't you deal with these tomorrow?" Asked Rachel.

He kept silent and didn't answer. He reached out to smooth the hair on her forehead and said softly, "I'll go back to my room to rest after reading it. You can go back to sleep first."

The implication was that these documents were not in a hurry to be handled at night, but Jack was not sleepy yet, so he would rather sit in the study to read the documents than go back to his room to rest.

But his body had already revealed a sign of exhaustion.

Frowning slightly, Rachel thought to herself secretly that the two of them have been a real couple and had a baby so that she could take the initiative this time.

Only if she asked, maybe he wouldn't refuse and would fall asleep.

Even though she had made up her mind, before she opened her mouth to say anything, a flush had quietly climbed up her face.

She took Jack's hand and whispered, "Come with me tonight..."

When she uttered the last word, she was still a little embarrassed. She hesitated for a while and didn't say it.

Jack already knew what she wanted to say. He was about to lose control of his excitement, but he still pretended to know nothing and asked, "For what?"

The corners of Rachel's mouth twitched. She pointed to her room and said, "If you don't understand, I'll go back by myself."

Then she withdrew her hand and turned around.

She was not good at saying those words, and doing these things.

Jack was going to tease her for a while, but when he saw that she looked a little strange, he was afraid that she would take back the words she was going to say. He quickly closed the door of the study, trotted forward and put his hand on her shoulder. "Rachel, you don't know how happy I am now. I feel like I am going to fly to the sky."

'Fly to the sky?'

Thinking of his words in her mind, Rachel couldn't help but burst into laughter. "It doesn't seem to be what you say."

"I am telling you now." Jack was amused by his words and smiled.

This was a line from the TV drama that Tracy was watching on when Jack went back to the Fu family two days ago.

At that time, he only felt that it was very interesting and that the person who said this seemed to be a little silly. He didn't expect that he would blurt it out unconsciously this day.

It sounded so stupid.

Listening to the sound of his breath gradually becoming stable, Rachel slowly turned around and faced Jack. Even though he was asleep, his forehead was still tightly wrinkled.

She reached out her hand and gently stroked it. Not long after Jack lay down, he fell asleep. Just now, he said that he had to read the documents before going to bed.

He really didn't take his own body seriously and was too stubborn.

Now Rachel finally knew that what he said might not be true.

After all, Jack was a man who showed no weakness

With a slight smile at the corners of her mouth, Rachel smiled silently. In the past, she didn't like the man who liked to show off his ability the most. After all, in her mind, the man should do everything within his ability, not always dreaming of swallowing an elephant in one gulp.

But Jack's bravado made her heart ache.

The reason why he was so brave was that he didn't want others to worry about him and put all the pressure on his own shoulders.

Seeing that his eyebrows slightly moved, Rachel was afraid that he would not fall asleep again after waking up, so she quickly retracted her hand back to the bed and closed her eyes. After a while, she fell asleep deeply.

In the past two days, although both Rachel and Jack did not mention this matter again, they knew that as long as the matter was not investigated clearly, there was always a time bomb, and they did not know when it would suddenly explode.

On this day, when Rachel came out of the hospital, since there was nothing to do in the office, she was about to go back home. Suddenly, Uncle James came over from the other side in a hurry.

Rachel thought that he had something to do, so she didn't say hello to him. She took two steps to the side and was about to leave quietly.

Uncle James suddenly stopped her, "Rachel, stop. I have something to ask you."

"Uncle James..." Rachel stopped. "Are you here for me? I thought you were going to the emergency room."

Uncle James shook his head, raised his right hand and spread out the newspaper in his hand. He frowned and said, "What's wrong? Why is Jack with such a group of people now?"

When she heard the name of Jack, Rachel's nerves suddenly tensed up. She took the newspaper and unfolded it. The huge page was full of the story of Jack.

Everything he had with Scarlett and his daily life were reported, some were real and some weren't.

As well as the "misunderstanding" that Jack had fallen into this time. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Some people might not believe it, but as soon as they saw the previous contents, those doubts were dispelled in an instant.

Since the previous things had really happened, there was no need to make up this story.

It was precisely because of this that these audience were more convinced.

Rachel put the newspaper in her hand and crumpled it into a ball. She forced a smile and looked at Uncle James's concerned eyes. She couldn't help but feel a little guilty. "Uncle James, it's a misunderstanding. Don't worry. Jack will deal with it well."
