Stuck in you

Chapter 117 Played With Toys

Before Jack could sort out his feelings for Rachel, life brought him and her together once more.

It seemed that there was no need to avoid her anymore.

While he was away, he couldn't figure out his feelings. So when he was being given an opportunity to stay with her, he would go with the flow.

It was better to let things happen than to interfere.

After rush hour, the heavy traffic in the city grew lighter, and they were able to return without much trouble.

They got home in less than fifteen minutes. When Jack got out of the car, he felt slightly embarrassed.

Not long ago, he had promised himself that he wouldn't come here unless he sorted out his feelings. At this moment, he was shooting himself in the foot.

Mendes had grown grumpy when he learned that he couldn't play with Jonathan. He frowned until Rachel explained things to him.

The biggest change that they had seen in this kid was that he had become more sensible.

Rachel wondered if this change was brought upon by growing up without his parents' company.

If that had been the case, she felt sorry for the boy. In a place where a child did not feel a sense of security, he had to have carefully observed others and played smart at his young age to have turned out the way that he had.

She felt a mixture of anger and pity. His parents should have been more responsible.

She liked the kid and was willing to take care of him, not only out of adoration but also out of sympathy.

As soon as they got home, the kid's mood changed.

Upon entering the house, he took a few steps forward and asked, "Can I go get something upstairs?"

'Get something upstairs?' Rachel thought. What did he want to look for?

She didn't ask. She simply nodded her consent. When Jack finally came in, he saw the little boy hurrying up the stairs.

He was stunned. "Where is he going? Why is he running so fast?"

"He's going upstairs to find something."

Had Mendes left some of his valuables here?

He had, indeed, unknown to both Rachel and Jack.

Rachel watched as Mendes dashed up and down the stairs. He ran down to bring all sorts of toys—a model airplane, a tank, race cars—and then ran back up to get more. He ran tirelessly until he was finished.

"When did he place these things upstairs?" Jack asked.

Rachel shook her head. "I don't know."
