Trapped In Lace

Rachel chuckled. "Lea, when have you become so hot-tempered?"

"Look at him. What things can he do on his own?" Lea said defensively. The corners of her mouth twitched in annoyance.

Rachel handed the freshly-washed apple to her and said, "Okay, eat an apple and calm down. Henry doesn't usually do these things and he won't get used to it if you let him do it just once or twice. Your nagging won't do any good."

Hearing what Rachel said, Henry turned around and looked at her with gratitude. With a faint smile on her face, Rachel took out some things from the bag and put them in front of Lea. "These are for you. They are good for the baby."

"Rachel, what do you want me to say? How could you be so considerate?" Tears welled up in Lea's eyes. She reached out to grab Rachel's hand and sobbed, as if she was going to cry out the next second. She felt overjoyed by Rachel's kind gesture.

"It's not a big deal," Rachel assured Lea. "Besides, I didn't buy these especially for you. They are just my leftovers. It's a waste to throw them at home. I'd rather give them to you as a gift."

The joke made Lea snort. After wiping the tears from her eyes, she looked at Rachel and Henry with a small smile that broke through her face.

In the early stages of pregnancy, different women have different symptoms. For Lea, her emotions were heightened and she had a hard time controlling them.

They were packing her things up when Rachel's phone suddenly rang.

She saw Jimmy's name on the screen. The call was out of the blue, unless something bad happened and it was an emergency. She excused herself, stepped outside the ward and answered.

e? Can you have a chat with me?"

Jack didn't know what say to her. She was being her unusual self. She knew that Jack was not into these small chats.

He took her hand off and went straight back to his room. The photo of Rachel on the bedside table was very conspicuous. He did not even try to hide it from Scarlett.

The next day, after her rounds, Rachel said goodbye to her colleagues and went out of work. She went to the coffee shop that Jack and her agreed to meet at, ordered a cup of water and sat quietly for a long time. She waited for him for a while. Suddenly a man walked towards her. She thought Jack would face her, she didn't expect that he would send Austin instead.

He scratched his hair and looked a little embarrassed. "Miss Shen, Mr. Fu has something urgent to deal with, so he asked me to come here first."

"Well, when will he come?" Rachel lowered her eyes to hide her disappointment.

Austin curved his lips and replied, "I don't know."

In fact, Jack didn't have anything urgent to do at all. Thinking of it now, Austin still felt regretful that he shouldn't have chosen that time to enter Jack's office.

At that time, seeing that there was nothing else at hand, Austin wanted to skip work and go home to have a rest. So he knocked on the door of Jack's office and asked, "Mr. Fu, I've finished the important tasks for today. Can I get off work earlier today?"

"What are you going to do after work?" Jack looked up at him.

Austin laughed. "I'm going home to play games."

'To play games...'

The pen rotated in Jack's hand for a few times. He frowned and said, "Then you can help me with something."
