Rachel had been used to Jack's hugging her from behind, so she didn't mind it anymore.
"Why are you home so late?" she asked lightly.
He hesitated for a while before he answered, "Something came up at work, so I had to stay at the company longer. I didn't notice that my phone ran out of battery. Sorry if I worried you."
He just met Celine to take back his phone, so he thought it wasn't necessary to let Rachel know about it.
Rachel turned off the stove and filled the bowl with the dish she prepared. Then said, "Just make sure that this won't happen again."
"I swear."
Jack glanced at the table. There were different dishes like vegetables, sweet and sour spare ribs, and fish head with tofu. There was still another one that she had just finished cooking. They all looked good and smelled delicious.
He couldn't help asking, "You cooked all these for me?"
Rachel turned her head to catch a glance at the table and said mischievously, "Of course not. These are all mine."
All of a sudden, she felt a slight pain on her nape that made her shiver.
Jack was already behind her, gently biting her slender neck. He said, "If that's the case, I have no choice but to eat the cook."
Her laughter reverberated in the whole kitchen.
She felt ticklish, so she dodged and pretended to scold him, "Stop it!"
Eric suddenly came in to be in time to witness such an affectionate scene. With a long face, he asked, "What are you doing?"
He acted like a father who saw his daughter being intimate with a man.
Rachel's relationship with Jack seemed to be getting deeper and deeper.
Her face immediately flushed out of embarrassment. She quickly removed Jack's hands from her waist and pretended to be calm. "Why are you here?"
"To see you, of course," Eric replied.
Jack glanced at him and said flatly, "It's okay with me if you come here to see Rachel. But next time, call us ahead of time. What if she and I..."
But before he could finish his words, she pinched his arm.
"Don't speak nonsense in front of Eric. We better eat now." She glared at him,
not expecting that he would say those words in front of Eric.
Jack murmured, "Are you bullying me?"
