Trapped In Lace

"Auntie, what's bothering you?" Henry asked Tracy.

"I don't know what's wrong with Jack recently. He's really not doing well." With a worried expression on her face, Tracy turned to look at Henry. "He is still finding it hard to recover. As a mother, I worry about him. I only want him to live a peaceful life in the future. As much as possible, I don't want him to be in trouble again."

Henry was a little taken aback because he didn't expect Tracy to open up to him. But he still replied, "Yes. I hope he can already move on."

There was a short silence between them before Tracy spoke again. "I suppose you also know what happened between our family and the Shen family. So even if Jack and Rachel go back together, the past will always be like a bomb between them that may explode at any time."

Thinking about Jack's current situation, Tracy couldn't stop her tears from falling. Overcame by her emotions, she choked. "Now that they broke up, it would be better they won't get back together again. After all, Jack has Scarlett now."

She was implying that the relationship between Jack and Rachel was already over.

He shook his head and said, "No. I want some soup with lemongrass and fish gelatin."

"Didn't you like the smell of fish gelatin before?" Tracy asked confusedly.

He just smiled. The soup was actually not for him, but for Rachel.

And knowing that Rachel would refuse if he told her to come over for the soup, he thought of making an excuse.

Although the thermos bottle looked small, it contained enough soup to fill Rachel's empty stomach. She got so full that she couldn't help burping out loud.

She put down the spoon and looked up at Jack. "Did you ask me to come over just for this soup?"

Jack shrugged his shoulders and said, "Well, I don't want to eat it, so I thought of asking you to have it."

"So, you asked me to come here just to eat your trash?" Rachel laughed sarcastically.

Jack didn't answer and just looked down at his phone. Rachel wiped her mouth and stood up. Her voice was so calm that no one could tell any emotion from it. "Next time that you get bored, please spare me."

"I'm not bored."
