Stuck in you

Rachel was surprised that Jack arrived early.

"I had nothing to do in the company. Are you done? I want to take you out to dinner tonight."

Rachel had always liked French cuisine. Coincidentally, there was a new French restaurant that just opened in the west of the city.

After cleaning up the items on her desk, they left.

Jack quickly held her hand, interlocking their fingers.

Rachel flushed as his hand grazed against hers. She struggled under his grip, but it was no use.

Holley slowly came out from the shadows and stared blankly at the two retreating figures. Her face paled at the sight. "Why did she come back?" she whispered to herself.

The newly opened restaurant was filled with customers.

Fortunately, Jack had booked the table. When they arrived, they crossed through the long queue and walked into the restaurant.

"What do you want to eat?" Jack handed the menu to Rachel.

French cuisine was famous for its exquisite flavor, which was one of the aspects that Rachel liked.

The delicate and intricate catering suited her taste.

Rachel ordered a sirloin steak for herself and lobster for Jack. When the waiter took their orders and left, she smiled. "Don't you feel bothered that I helped you decide it?"

"Of course not." Jack knew that she would only do this to the people she was very close to. This was why he was more than happy to nod with her order.

Given the busy atmosphere, the service was slow, which gave them a chance to talk with each other.

Jack told Rachel what Henry had told them. "His grandmother felt so guilty that she sends fresh vegetables and tonics to them personally every day," he explained.

However, she was still reluctant in bringing them back home, given Alice's present.

This was why they needed to lie low for a while.

"After all, Alice is her daughter." Rachel sighed. She couldn't help but feel sorry for Lea.

Jack poured a glass of red wine for himself and water for her. "They need to solve this quickly. It wouldn't be good for both sides if they continue to drag it out," he said.

Just then, Rachel's phone rang. "Hello?"

Her face paled at the sound.

In the emergency room at the hospital, the beds were filled with children from four to five years old.

Sobs and whimpers filled her ears from the other end of the line.
