Trapped In Lace

The relationship between Rachel and Jack should have ended three years ago. She didn't want to get involved with him again.

Rachel continued to walk ahead. Eric walked faster until he caught up with her. He grabbed her arm and stopped her. "Rachel, it's just an ointment for burns. Just take it."

"If you bought it, then I would definitely take it," Rachel replied seriously.

She wouldn't casually accept anything from Jack, though.

Eric felt confused and thought that he had to ask about it. "Why do you always take for granted how much other people care for you?"

In his opinion, Jack did a pretty good job of it.

"You don't understand, Eric. I just hope that you will not get yourself involved in this matter. You don't have to do anything for us. It's useless."

It was one of the most difficult things to do to explain anything related to relationships to someone who was not involved in that relationship.

It was her opinion that two people who had been separated for years had gone through a lot of things during that time that turned each of them into a different person than they were before. Because of this, getting back together was very difficult.

However, there was no lack of real world examples where couples who got separated were able to rebuild their relationship once more. A contrast to what Rachel believed.

But how many of these couples were separated by a woman like Celine?

It would be a lie to claim the she didn't care at all. How many women wouldn't be jealous of their husbands' ex-girlfriends? Additionally, Jack had love Celine so deeply back then.

When Jack answered his phone and heard Eric's low voice, he knew that the mission was a complete failure.

Each time he

to the company where Iris worked. He found out from her colleagues at work that she suddenly resigned without any explanation.

Fortunately, he knew one of her colleagues who had a good relationship with Iris. What he found out from that colleague was the reason why he went to see Rachel in a hurry. He wanted to know what his parents said to Iris during the dinner the evening before.

Rachel was stunned at what Lucas said. "Everything was fine," she said with a surprised look on her face.

Yesterday, after the four of them sat down for dinner, the atmosphere started off as a little awkward. But once they started to chat, the dinner quickly became very harmonious.

The things that they talked about were mostly trivial and funny things in life. James then asked about Iris' job, but nothing unusual ever happened throughout the dinner.

At the end of the dinner, James asked Rachel to pay the bill. So, she had no idea what they talked about during the time that she was away.

Rachel suddenly thought about this and recalled that the expression on Iris' face suddenly changed when she got back to her seat after paying the bill.

After she got back, Rachel also asked Iris if she was feeling okay, and she replied that it was just because she was a little tired. She explained that she was too busy with work during the day.

However, when Rachel considered the situation now, she felt that there was something wrong at that time.

But she immediately shook her head in disbelief. "No, it can't be. Uncle James told me that he just wanted to know Iris' true character," she explained.

Lucas was suddenly angry. "Did my father say anything that implied to her that she had to leave me?" he asked furiously.
