Stuck in you

Chapter 308 A Charity Dinner

Rachel opened it up. When she saw the contents of the envelope, she looked up at him in surprise.

"You want me to go to the charity dinner with you?"

In the envelope, there was an invitation to a charity dinner held by the Chamber of Commerce.

She set the invitation on the table. "I can't go with you. I could just give you the money for the books."

Back then, although she preferred not to, she had no choice but to attend these types of dinners with Jack. Now, given that she had no sort of obligation, she would rather not attend one.

Besides, she knew for a fact that Jack would definitely go, and if she went, she would definitely run into him one way or another.

At the thought, she gave the invitation back.

Bill didn't expect that Rachel would reject the idea so strongly. He leaned over. "You know how boring the banquet is," he complained. "If I go there alone, I'd be bored to death."

Rachel raised an eyebrow. "So you want me to be bored to death with you?"

He grabbed her arm like a spoiled child trying to insist that his mother buy him a gift. "You wouldn't be bored if you'd go with me. We can talk all night. Time would pass."

Rachel withdrew her arm. "No. How much are the two books? I can always just pay you back."

"If you don't go, I'll take the two books back," he pretended to threaten as he stared wide eyes at her.

"What do you think? I promise we'll be back soon."

'He threatens me with the books?'

Rachel frowned as she thought of the limited edition books he had given her. At this rate, if he took them back, she might not be able to get them anywhere else. "Fine," she compromised.

The waiter placed their orders on the table.

Bill chuckled in satisfaction as he pushed the bowl towards her. "Try the noodles. If they taste good, I can order another bowl for you."

"I don't have much of an appetite."

However, as soon as she tasted the noodles, it felt as if she had just discovered heaven. It seemed that Bill was a great food critic, she noted as she ate up.

Soon enough, Rachel placed a hand over her swollen belly. The sadness she had felt almost dissipated. She glanced up at Bill, who was too focused on eating his noodles. She pulled a piece of tissue and handed it to him.

There were times when he was smart. However, there were also times when he acted like a child.

The next day, when Rachel just got off work, Bill drove by the gate of the hospital in time to take her to a formal dress store. She selected a simple dress. Her long curly hair fell against her back.

Taking two steps back, he nodded thoughtfully. "It's the first time I've ever seen you look like a woman," he joked.

"Aren't you surprised? You've always look more like a woman than I do on a normal basis," she teased.
