Stuck in you

Chapter 351 Why Do You Care About My Girl

"What? You are at my door right now?" Rachel asked in surprise.

"Of course! Are you at home or not?" Lea spat.

Rachel pulled the phone away from her ear and looked at the time. It was 10 p.m.—too late for Lea to be out of the house, at any rate. With a slight feeling of unease, she dropped the call, stood up, and turned toward Jack. "I'll be right back. Wait for me."

After hanging up the phone, Rachel opened the wardrobe door and took out a suit of clothes. She bit off the tag with her mouth and looked at Jack. "I need to change my clothes. Can you go out first?"

Jack didn't answer. All of a sudden, he dropped the towel on the table and said in a low voice, "Rachel, why don't you tell Lea that you're here now and that you'll be living here in the future?"

He heard and understood the phone conversation between the two just now.

Rachel stopped what she was doing and looked up at him. "I...I haven't figured out how to tell her."

"That's just one sentence. How hard could it be?"

Lips pursed, she ducked her head slightly and said in an uncertain tone, "I don't know what to say. Besides, it's really late, but Lea still came. She must have something to tell me, so I..."

She suddenly stopped, biting her lower lip in uncertainty.

After a while, Jack said, "You don't need to change your clothes. I'll pick Lea up and bring her here."

The sound-controlled light in the corridor would go out every five minutes, so Lea kept stomping her feet from time to time to keep it turned on.

Even though it was early winter, many mosquitoes kept buzzing in Lea's ears.

Regardless of her own feelings, Lea held Rita in one hand and swatted at the mosquitoes with the other. She muttered, "Why hasn't Rachel come back yet? It's been so long."

She was considering whether to find a hotel along the street when she heard the "Ding" of the elevator. Even before the elevator doors had slid open, she exclaimed, "Rachel, you're finally back. I've been waiting for a long time!"

Her eyes suddenly widened in disbelief. "Jack? Why are you here? If you're here to see Rachel, she hasn't come back yet.

This isn't too bad, at least now I have someone to wait here with me."

Jack did not reply. He only glanced at Lea briefly and reached out take Rita, who had fallen asleep on her shoulder.

"Hey! You..." Lea was about to interrogate him loudly when she saw him place an index finger against his lips and walked back into the elevator. She followed close behind and asked in a harsh whisper, "What the hell are you doing?"
