Stuck in you

Rachel flushed. "Why should I tell you if I agree with Lea or not? It's not as if we have a kid."

"We'll have one, right?" He chuckled.

There was silence for a while before she finally spoke up. "Have we discussed this?"

She felt as if the topic of having a child just popped out of the blue. In fact, she didn't remember that they talked about this.

He bowed his head to hide the slyness flashing in his eyes. "We already talked about it," he stated. "You must've forgotten."

"When did I..." Rachel trailed off. She really couldn't remember talking to him about having a child. Was it possible that it was part of her memory loss as well?

Jack tilted his head slightly as if he had just received a premonition. "You told me that one time that you really like children."

'That's it?' She shot him a disapproving look. "I thought we actually had a serious discussion about this before."

Back then, she had thought that Lea only agreed to marry Henry because they were going to have a baby.

When in fact, Lea had told her that she actually agreed to marry him because she actually liked him, not because she was forced into a loveless marriage. Lea didn't want to trap herself in a marriage all because of her child.

In such a way, Rachel shared the same thoughts. She didn't want her child to be the reason why she shouldn't leave the man in front of her. She wanted the child to be the proof of their love instead.

And now, she felt that their relationship wasn't stable enough for them to have a child yet.

Although they were both making progress to the right direction, it still wouldn't be the right time to bring a baby into this world.

If they had a child now, the progress that they'd made might only spiral down to where they'd started.

She wanted their relationship to be much stable before they brought a baby into the world.

On the bright side, at least they would be able to talk about it now.

If she was asked about this right now, she would've said that she would think about it.

When he heard that she didn't take it to heart, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. "What do you mean? Aren't you giving me a hint?"

"What hint?"

He smirked.

"If a wife tells her husband that she likes kids, what do you think that means?"

It took her a few seconds to actually respond to him. She sputtered out in frustration, narrowing her eyes at the man in front of her. 'He's an asshole!'

Rachel and Jack stayed there for another three days. During those days, Lea and Henry also enjoyed some alone time with each other.

He took Rachel on a tour around the city.

He held his wife's hand and wandered leisurely in every scenic spot. He made sure to tell her about the monuments and statues situated in the scenery as well as let her try all the local snacks.

At this point, everyone was happy except, of course, Henry's grandmother and Lea's father.
