Chapter 193
Lea raised her hand and put it on her forehead. She sat up straight and twitched her mouth.
What Rachel had told her made her restless. It felt like a flower that she grew carefully was suddenly smashed by a pig while she was distracted.
She had been trying hard to find Rachel a new boyfriend. But it seemed to be useless now.
Although she knew that she shouldn't intervene with Rachel's private life, she just couldn't help it.
Jack had finally won Rachel back. Lea didn't know what else to do, so she just said, "I don't feel good about this."
Rachel was quietly holding a cup in her hand. She was like an elementary school student being scolded by a teacher.
"What's so good about him?" Lea snapped.
Rachel thought for a while and answered, "Nothing really special."
"Yes, you're right! He's nothing but just a jerk." Lea continued to despise Jack. "How dare him go back to you and seduce you! He's a son of a bitch!"
Rachel felt a little embarrassed.
As a matter of fact, it wasn't only Jack. She was to be blamed too.
But what else could she do? They had both
fallen in love with each other.
Rachel suddenly remembered that Lea was pregnant so she said worriedly, "Don't be too angry."
Lea got more furious. "How can I not be angry?" 'Fuck! Someone else's has taken my flower. How can I not be angry? What the hell!' she thought at the back of her mind.
"You have a baby in your belly now. It's not good for the baby if you get angry," Rachel reminded her.
When Lea heard the word baby, she froze.
Rachel took this opportunity to continue, "They say that if a pregnant woman often gets angry, her baby will become ugly."
Lea subconsciously touched her belly.
The image of an ugly baby with runny nose calling her "Mom" appeared in her mind. The thought sent chills down her spine.
But suddenly, she realized something. They were not supposed to be talking about the baby in her belly.
Lea looked into Rachel's eyes and said seriously, "You need to tell me everything honestly."
Finally, Lea came back to her senses after Rachel tried to divert the topic.
Feeling helpless, Rachel just nodded.
"When did you start being together?" She wanted to know when Rachel had started dating Jack.
Rachel thought about the question for a while.
Actually, she couldn't remember too.
She didn't really paid much attention to it.
Everything just happened naturally. There wasn't an exact day that Jack confessed his love to her or courted her. He just suddenly treated her very well until she found herself falling for him. Eventually, she agreed to be together with him.
Since she couldn't give Lea a definite answer, she just replied in a low voice, "Not so long."
Somehow, Lea felt relieved with what Rachel said. They hadn't been together for a long time. Then maybe Lea could still do something.
But she really couldn't help wondering, 'Is he good?' In Lea's eyes, Jack was a scum.
'Is there anything good in him?' No matter how much she racked her brain, she still couldn't find the answer.
Lea couldn't understand why Rachel still accepted Jack despite what he had done to her. He deliberately ignored her in the past five years and he had a mistress.
Moreover, Jack showed his insolence towards Rachel to the whole world which made her look like a joke.
Rachel had endured so much. How could she accept a man like him so easily? If Lea was in her place, she could have killed Jack. But unfortunately, she was not Rachel.
They had different personalities and way of thinking.
Perhaps the reason why Jack was so arrogant
was because he was proud of winning Rachel back.
Lea had finally made up her mind. She wouldn't tell Rachel what to do.
So she decided to stop complaining anymore. Rachel should decide on her own about how to deal with Jack.
Since Rachel couldn't answer her first question well, Lea asked another question, "Is he treating you well?"
She looked very serious. It was as if he could kill Jack any moment if Rachel gave her a bad answer.
Rachel thought for a moment. Suddenly, there was a warm feeling in her heart. Was Jack nice to her?
Of course, he treated her well.
As a matter of fact, Jack was very obedient to her. He had obviously exerted so much effort just to get along with her.
He spent a lot of time to comfort and please her. Jack even took her to different places so that their time together wouldn't be boring.
In the past few days, Rachel had noticed that no matter how busy Jack was, he would always spare some time for her. At first, she wondered whether he was just being easygoing because he was a company CEO or he was really giving her a lot of time intentionally.
After giving it a careful thought, she realized that the latter was more likely the reason. Besides, he always worked overtime in his study every time
he went back home.
He made such an arrangement so he could have the time to take of care.
Rachel nodded and replied with a smile, "Yes. He is treating me really well."
Seeing the smile on her face, Lea felt distressed. She thought, 'They have been together not so long ago, but Rachel seemed to have fallen in love with him.1
But on the contrary, Rachel's answer also brought relief to Lea. Although she knew that Rachel would deliberately say something good about Jack so she would stop insulting him, she could feel that Rachel was telling the truth. She was glad that Rachel wasn't suffering this time.
Rachel was already like a sister to her. And now that she was in love with someone, she must support her even though the man was Jack.
Inside his office, Jack had been sneezing for several times now. He wondered if it was because he had stayed in an air- conditioned room for so long. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
Lea sighed. She didn't know what to say anymore.
She felt very distressed. Suddenly,
something came to her mind.
She wasn't sure whether pregnant women were just more sensitive, or she just disliked Jack so much that many things came to her mind. It hadn't been a long time since Jack broke up with Celine.
Why did he change his heart so quickly? Was it because Jack didn't love Celine that much, or was he just using Rachel to take revenge on her?
The thought of it brought cold sweat to Lea's back. After hesitating for a while, she asked tentatively, "What about her?"
"Which her?" Rachel asked confusedly.
"Celine."
Rachel was a bit stunned. It had been a while since the last time she heard that name. She was still confused, so she asked again, "Her? What about her?"
Lea rubbed her face and wanted to ask, 'Do I need to ask you straightforwardly?'
But instead, she asked, "Is Jack still keeping in touch with her?"
Rachel had no idea about it,
so she answered honestly, "I don't know."
Lea massaged her temples lightly. She was starting to have a headache. "Do you really like him?"
Rachel blushed and answered in a low voice, "Yes. I like him a lot."
Since Rachel was flushing, Lea knew that she wasn't lying.
Lea asked seriously again, "You don't mind about Celine? Have you ever talked about her with Jack?"
For Lea, Celine was still an obstacle between Rachel and Jack.
After all, Jack had an affair with her during their marriage.
Moreover, Celine knew that their marriage was just nominal. There was no love between them when they got married.
However, in Rachel's heart, Jack's affair with Celine was not a form of betrayal.
Jack and Celine had a relationship when they were not together,
so she didn't mind it.
But Rachel herself was not sure if Jack still missed Celine.
"No," she said lightly, "I don't mind at all."
As Lea listened to her answer, she didn't know whether she should be happy or sad for Jack.
Rachel didn't care about Jack's ex-mistress. It was either because she was very confident with their current relationship, or she didn't really love him that much.
Lea thought it was the latter.
"When Jack and Celine were in a relationship, I had no feelings for him yet. There was nothing between us except the arranged marriage.
Our real relationship only started after he broke up with Celine. In that case, I couldn't say that he really cheated on me,"
Rachel said. "But this time, if Jack will have another affair with Celine, I won't forgive him."
She really cared about Jack right now.
If he betrayed her, she didn't know how to forgive him.
She lowered her head and her eyes darkened.
"That's right. You should not forgive him if he cheats on you," Lea commented.
She then clenched her teeth and added, "If he dares to have an affair, chop him off!"
Lea made a gesture of cutting.
It was now clear to Rachel why Lea was very angry. She only didn't want Jack to hurt her. Lea kept babbling excitedly. "Well, it actually doesn't matter if he gets back to Celine. You can just break up with him and tell his father about it.
Jonathan loves you so much so I know he won't tolerate Jack. For sure, he will immediately kick him out of the family."
The more she talked, the more excited she got. She clenched her fists and added, "Then we'll find a way to fuck them up..."
Lea didn't finish her last sentence. She suddenly realized, she was talking too much because of excitement.
She cleared her throat and stopped talking bad about Jack immediately. "Well, I'm just talking nonsense. Don't take it seriously."
After all, Rachel loved Jack.
Bad-mouthing him would definitely upset her.
