Stuck in you

Chapter 127 A Fever

"No, I like it," Rachel said.

A smile was at the corner of his mouth as Jack drove away. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw that she was smiling, too.

He couldn't help but ask, "What's making you so happy right now?"

Rachel typed a message and sent it to Lea quickly. When the screen showed that the message was successfully sent, she turned to Jack and said to him joyfully, "Mendes' father is coming back."

'Hmm, why would she be so happy about someone else's father coming back?' he wondered.

"Well, he has been away for so long. His return is long overdue," he said.

"Yes," Rachel said. "I hope the kid's parents can take responsibility for him this time. Don't leave him alone here."

Noticing that her mood had suddenly darkened, Jack tried to comfort her.

He said, "Maybe his parents have to do something and can't go back home."

Jack didn't know much about the complicated matter of Mendes' family, so she bit her tongue and replied simply, "Anyway, it's wrong to abandon a child."

Her parents died when she was a child. Her lonely childhood was one of the reasons why she was so eager to have a family of her own. She couldn't even understand how someone could just ignore his own child and stay away for such a long time.

After all, who could be more important to anyone than one's own family and child?

Before a man gets married and becomes a father, he doesn't behave as affectionately and gently as a woman does.

In Jack's view, either the man was simply unable to come back to his child, or he didn't want the child.

The latter possibility was the most likely one.

"If I had a child, I would never abandon him," he whispered.

Jack believed that that was a man's most basic responsibility. If you can't even take care of your own flesh and blood, what else can you be responsible for?

After saying that, he glanced at the woman beside him, who had suddenly turned to him and was staring at him. With his eyes looking straight ahead, he raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "What's wrong?"

With an unreadable look on her face, she lowered her head and fiddled with her fingers. "Nothing."

After they had been driving for a while, Rachel noticed that they were not on the way to go to her place.

Ten minutes had passed, and the road outside Rachel's window was unfamiliar. She looked out of the window and asked, "Where are we going?"

"To my place,"

Jack answered.

Rachel still didn't know where Jack lived. She could see the road sign which indicated that he was heading towards the north side of the city and towards the seaside.
