Trapped In Lace

Rachel had no idea what time her tears had stopped flowing or when she drifted off into an exhausted sleep afterwards. Julie, who became worried when she didn't come down, eventually went to the room, gently patted her exposed shoulder, and whispered, "Miss, you have been sleeping for too long. You can wake up now."

Turning over, Rachel said in a drowsy voice while looking at her with bleary eyes, "I'll take a nap and get up later."

"I took a call for you. it was from Miss Lea Ye. She said that she will be here in about ten minutes."

'Lea?'

Rachel instantly became alert upon hearing the name. She sat up on the bed, surprising Julie with her nimble movements. She kept saying, "Miss, please slow down. Now that you are pregnant, you shouldn't move as quickly as before. Take it slowly, no matter what you're doing!"

Knowing that the other woman was concerned about her well-being, Rachel smiled gratefully. She didn't say anything, but she consciously slowed down her movements and got out of bed carefully. She was changing out of her bedclothes when she heard Lea's and Rita's voices coming from downstairs.

"Mom, it's so late. Why is Aunt Rachel still sleeping? Didn't you say that we shouldn't stay in bed too late?"

"It's because your aunt Rachel is pregnant, sweetie. There's two of them now, and they sleep together, so of course they should sleep longer."

Listening to the conversation between them, Rachel unconsciously made haste in changing her clothes. This t

raight to the point. Instead, she shouted, "Come here quickly. You'll know when you get here!"

Jack looked down with a frown at the phone after the call was abruptly disconnected. After some thought, he turned around and left.

In the yard of the Fu family mansion, Tracy ordered the maids to take out all sorts of nuts and fruits and place them on the table. Afterwards, she enthusiastically kept encouraging the young woman in front of her to eat more.

After the servants finished their work, they stood by a corner to await further orders. They kept glancing at the woman and whispered among themselves. "Why does that young lady look familiar?"

"I think so, too, but I can't remember where I've met her before."

"Don't you think she looks like a bit like Rachel?"

The chatter suddenly stopped, and everyone suddenly understood and nodded in agreement.

Jack parked his car by the gate. Upon entering the gate, he stopped in his tracks as he saw two people chatting and laughing together in the yard. After some thought, he whirled around to leave.

Unfortunately, he wasn't fast enough.

Tracy happened to see him and shouted behind him, "Jack, why don't you join us? Where are you going?"

"I suddenly remember an urgent matter that I have to deal with. I should go." Without looking back, Jack took out the car keys from his pocket. Just as he was unlocking the door, Tracy caught up with him and grabbed his arm. "What's the rush? Do you really have to leave right now?"
