Trapped In Lace

Rachel didn't need to tell her plan to others in advance when she lived alone. So she forgot to tell Jack about the dinner in the Zhou family residence.

Jack's face darkened. "I was overreacting."

"You were."

She didn't even bother to deny the fact.

As she thought about it, maybe this was the opportunity to make everything clear between them. If she left it like this, the problems they had would simply grow bigger and bigger.

Thinking of this, Rachel pursed her lips and stared up at him once more. "Do you have anything to tell me?"

When she recalled what Celine had said so arrogantly in the morning, her heart throbbed against her chest.

Anger, sadness, disgust—all these emotions overwhelmed her like a net surrounding a fish. It was as if she couldn't find it in herself to move because she was afraid that she'd simply get even more tangled in her own prison of thoughts.

Back then, Celine had been staring at her with a smug look.

"Well, I was never fond of children in the first place. I'm not pregnant. I just have a stomachache. Sorry to rain on your parade."

Rachel sneered and left.

However, every step she took felt like she was hauling across bags of lead. It was painful, and it was something that she wouldn't subject anyone to.

She wanted to see if Jack would confess to her.

"What can I do for you?" Austin came in quickly.

Jack frowned. "Do you have the contact number of any florist's shop? Give me one."

"Florist's shop? I have one."

In the past, when Jack was still with Celine, Austin had helped him book bouquets several times. "Mr. Fu, do you need to call in to order some flowers."

"Give me the phone number. I'll do it myself."

Jack called the florist's shop and ordered a bouquet of flowers as an apology. Then he requested that they write a small note saying,

"I'm sorry. Please forgive me!"

Because of the traffic jam, Rachel was already half an hour late when she arrived at the hospital.

Last night, she couldn't even fall asleep. Recalling what had happened all these days, she found that she had fallen into Jack's net of lies yet again.

This time, she wanted out.

She didn't fall asleep until 4 a.m.

As soon as she entered the hospital, Mindy walked towards her with a bouquet of flowers in her hands.

Rachel nodded in greeting. When she was about to pass by, Mindy held her arm. She tilted her head and asked, "Is there something wrong?"

"There you are!"

Mindy immediately stuffed the bouquet into Rachel's arms. "I was about to put it in your office when you showed up. This is for you.

Rachel, you're so lucky to have such a romantic husband."
