Roger gently kissed Rachel’s forehead.

After a brief moment, he let go of her and softly whispered, "If anything happens, don’t hesitate to call me.I will rush over at any time."

Rachel was rendered speechless by his gesture.She could only stare at him with a blank face.

Roger was also aware that he took a big risk by doing that kiss.

Though it might scare Rachel, he did not regret showing his true feelings.He didn’t feel the need to explain himself or even apologize.

Seeing this scene, Lila, who was standing aside, couldn’t help but secretly chuckle.

Roger then put on his coat, turned to Lila, and nodded at her.

"I’m going to leave now.Please take care of Rachel and Joey."

His tone was so firm that he could be mistaken for the head of the Bennet family.He showed so much consideration for Rachel as if he was her husband.

"Don’t worry, Mr.Jimenez.It’s my job to take care of Miss Bennet and Joey.Rest assured, I will do my job well," Lila answered confidently.

Roger just let out a polite smile and took one last affectionate look at Rachel.

Then, without further ado, he turned around and left.

O Before long, Roger’s car drove out of the Bennet family’s house and completely disappeared from their sight.

Afterward, Lila walked over to Rachel and looked at the empty vestibule.

Then, she whispered, "Miss Bennet, I can see that Mr.Jimenez really cares about you."

"Really?"

Rachel looked away and answered perfunctorily.

"Yes.In fact, anyone can notice that.He’s also handsome, and Joey likes him a lot."

Lila looked at Rachel’s expressionless face.

"Miss Bennet, I’ve already experienced a lot of things.I will be frank with you and say that I’ve seen all kinds of men.And I am confident that Mr.Jimenez is really a good man."

At this time, Rachel turned her head and looked straight into Lila’s eyes.

As though she had somehow regained her senses, she smiled and said, "Alright, Lila.I know exactly what you want to say."

"I see.Then,"

"For now, can you please go upstairs and check on Victor to see his condition?"

Rachel interrupted Lila, knowing what she would say next.She actually didn’t want to talk about it, so she made an excuse.
