Stuck in you

Then Rachel complained, "We are not kids anymore, Jack."

Jack smiled and replied, "But why do I feel like I am only ten years old right now?"

Rachel couldn't help laughing. "Hey, that's enough!" She started to doubt if the Jack in front of her was still the same person. "Stop making fun of me," she added.

Jack came to her and held her hand. He then pulled her closer and started to walk slowly again.

All they could hear around them were crickets and other insects making a sound. It felt good to be away from the hustle and bustle of the city and enjoy a different environment.

Jack finally felt relaxed, so he started flirting with Rachel again. This made her feel that he was now back to his old self.

When Rachel thought of how he looked like earlier, she couldn't help shivering. His dark eyes were so frightening that it really scared her to death.

Rachel pretended to annoy him. She put her hand on his forehead and murmured, "You don't seem to have a fever right now."

Jack pulled Rachel's hand off and continued to tease her. The fireworks were starting to light the sky again, one after another.

Meanwhile, Henry and Lea had been staying at her parental home for a few days now. Apparently, he was being tested by her family. Her father and her two brothers were giving him a hard time.

They were all difficult to deal with. Henry knew that Lea's family was wealthy, but he didn't expect that her father and brothers were also martial artists.

They were well-trained and definitely knew how to scare him.

Perhaps the two brothers saw Henry as a wicked man who seduced their sister and even got her pregnant.

In front of Lea, they treated Henry well. But when she was not around, their attitude towards him changed.

When they patted Henry's shoulder, the latter almost fell to the floor due to the impact. Lea's brothers had been taking turns in talking to him, asking him about how he was treating their sister.

Although Henry didn't show them any negative behavior, the two brothers seemed to be still wary of him. He felt like they were deliberately giving him troubles.

Living with Lea's family for a few days felt like hell for Henry. He had the most miserable life. Now he knew that what she had said to him before coming here was not a joke.

But since he was determined to marry her, he must accept all the tests that her family gave him.

He knew he could handle it, as long as Lea was there for him. At night, he would take his clothes off and lay down beside the mother of his child. He would pretend to look pitiful, which made her feel sorry for him.
