Stuck in you

Chapter 212 Getting Married

Michael handed Marcus a piece of tissue.

Marcus wiped his hands and complained, "It's so hot that I can't even move comfortably. Why did you have to make an appointment at noon?"

Michael suddenly turned his head to the sound of the opening door. "So, you've finally arrived at last!"

Marcus wiped off the water on his face. He raised his eyebrows when he saw Jack and Rachel enter hand in hand.

"Aren't you feeling hot, holding hands in such a hot day?" he asked Jack. "Are you jealous?" Jack retorted. He released Rachel's hand as soon as they entered the room. The dishes were served and prepared on the table.

Michael lazily sat on a chair with a cigarette on his lips. He watched them with visible surprise. "Wow, why are you here together?"

Jack curled his lips and said, "Should I have come with you instead?"

Michael smiled, "Shut the fuck up, Jack!"

Marcus also laughed loudly, but Jack was used to the jokes of his friends and he did not laugh with them. Instead, he turned around and whispered to Rachel, "Just ignore them."

Their whispering annoyed Michael. Rachel smiled. She never really took their teasing seriously.

While they were busy teasing Jack, Henry was preoccupied with filling glasses with wine. He was obviously in a very good mood. He hummed a song that no one could identify as he did his task.

He looked up from what he was doing and said to them, "That's enough. You two single men need to find a girlfriend soon. Don't waste your time laughing at others."

Marcus quickly concluded that Henry was indeed in high spirits that day.

After they all took their seats at the table, Rachel followed Jack closely. She was familiar with them and no longer felt embarrassed.

As soon as they were seated, Marcus said, "Have you all noticed how unusually cheerful Henry is today?"

Jack leaned back and took the lighter from Michael. He looked up at Henry and said with a smile, "You are not the only one who thinks so, Marcus."

Henry had an odd smile on his face as a reply to his friends' jesting as he distributed the wine-filled glasses. His good mood was made obvious by his expression.

After he placed a glass of wine in front of Jack, Jack glimpsed at Rachel who sat next to him. He handed the wine to Michael. "I can't drink."

Everyone saw what happened. They all turned to Rachel.

But Rachel remained calm and ignored them. "Why are you all staring at me? Why not just speak out?"

However, Jack sat closely next to her, and he noticed that there was a slight flush of red behind her ear.

Henry and Marcus exchanged meaningful glances with each other and smiled silently.
