Trapped In Lace

The more Rachel thought about it, the more she felt it was possible. She couldn't sit still any longer, so she stood up to take a look. Suddenly, her doorbell rang. She opened the door and saw a black car coming in from the outside and being parked in the yard.

Rachel was about to call Jonathan, but to her surprise, it was Tracy who came to visit.

Rachel was at a loss for words. After she overcame her shock, she exclaimed, "Mom, what are you doing here?"

"I came here to see you." Tracy glanced at her and then opened the car door to take out several shopping bags.

Rachel reached out her hand and said, "Let me take them."

"No, that's okay." Tracy refused her offer for help, gesturing at the sofa instead. "Just sit there. You are pregnant, so you shouldn't be doing these things. Besides, they're not really that heavy."

Her attitude was totally different from before.

Stunned by the solicitous remarks, Rachel fell silent, her mouth twitching. Tracy's attitude towards her and her doubting words while Jack was still in the hospital were still vivid in Rachel's mind, as if they had just happened yesterday.

What brought about this 180-degree change in attitude? Rachel was an incredibly witty person, but even she didn't know how to react at that moment.

Tracy placed the bags on the table and started taking out stuff from them. She presented her haul to Rachel as if offering a tribute. "I went to the mall just now and bought a lot of clothes for the baby. I don't know whe

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Rachel's face. She frowned and said, "Give it to me. I can do it myself."

"But—" Tracy interrupted Rachel before she could say another word. "Just enjoy it. When you are pregnant, you are the boss, and you should let Jack do everything."

"Exactly," Jack echoed, nodding his head wisely. He crumpled the tissue that he had just used to wipe Rachel's mouth, threw it into the trash can under the table, and said casually, "Dad, Mom, there are only two of you at home. From now on, you're welcome to come here for dinner whenever you like."

Jack guessed that Rachel wouldn't want to go to the Fu family house, but she had no reason to refuse to let them come here.

Moreover, with Jonathan and Tracy constantly around, he wouldn't have to bear Rachel's stony silence and cold face.

Jonathan had already guessed what was on Jack's mind. He deliberately ignored the stunned look on Rachel's face, picked up a piece of fish, and placed it in Tracy's bowl. "Okay, it's livelier when more people gather around to eat."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jack's mobile phone rang. Seeing Austin's name onscreen, Jack stood up and walked over to the window to take the call. "How is it going?"

"She's already on the plane. They will inform us as soon as she arrives." Austin had just exited the airport after seeing Scarlett off for her flight out of Ninwell City.
