Stuck in you

Chapter 149 Went To The Shopping Mall

In Eric's eyes, Jack was the worst choice for Rachel. Although he seemed to have changed a lot these days, in Eric's mind, it was just not enough to become Rachel's husband.

Rachel had been with the wrong man so many years. Eric decided to keep an eye on her so that she wouldn't be deceived by Jack.

A sound suddenly interrupted his personal reflection. He was sure that it was Rachel and he suddenly felt anxious for no reason.

He thought that if he would stop speaking, nothing could make her angry again.

"Eric!" Rachel called out to him. Her voice sounded cold and it came from behind him. He turned his head towards her and looked embarrassed. "What's the matter?"

"Do you want to hang out?"

"What? Really?"

"Why do you look so surprised? Go get changed and we'll go shopping," she said in an almost commanding tone of voice mixed with a slight jest.

Eric stood up filled with excitement like a little boy and hurried up the stairs. After a few steps up, he suddenly paused and turned to her once more. His face looked gloomy and sad. "I...uh..." He scratched his chin briefly as he stammered. He then raised a hand to touch the edge of wound on his forehead.

There was a look of worry on Eric's face. His eyes were suddenly filled with anxiety and sadness. Rachel fully understood what he meant and what he was thinking. She took a deep breath and smiled at him. "You look handsome! Are you afraid to be seen by other people? They won't bite you, you know."

She walked slowly towards Eric and gently poked his face. "You don't even need to wear a hat. Just change your clothes. I'll wait for you outside."

"Rachel..." He was filled with anxiety. He hesitated and could not bring himself to agree with her.

"Don't be ashamed of it. Instead, you should be proud of it. It's considered a badge of honor for you."

She gently stroked the scar with the tip of her soft finger affectionately. Eric turned to her with an inquiring look. "Honor?" he asked softly.

"You got this from doing boldly what is righteous. And you almost lost your own life in the process. There is no reason to feel bad about it at all," Rachel explained patiently.

Eric grinned at her.

Boys of his age prefer to show off their beauty in public and feel good to be admired for it. Thus, his mind was filled with how a scar on his forehead completely ruined his good looks.

He went up as Rachel said to change his clothes. Once he was done changing, he took a hat and slowly placed it on his head like the finishing touch on a masterpiece artwork. He then took pictures of himself so he could check how good...or how bad...he looked.

Rachel sat in the car and waited patiently for Eric. She turned to him as he approached the car. She shook her head with a faint smile on her lips. She thought that he was still too young and childish.

He opened the door and got into the car enthusiastically. "Come on, Rachel. Let's go!" he urged with a mischievous smile.

He was like a child who couldn't wait to leave for the mall.
