Stuck in you

Chapter 454 Foot Bath

Before leaving, Scarlett cried with tears and snot. She held his hand and begged him not to send her on the plane. She asked him to plead with Jack and looked very pitiful.

However, when he thought of what she had done, Austin was a little indifferent. He thought, 'How could it be possible for someone to have a beautiful appearance, but her heart was so terrible? No wonder that Jack would do such a cruel thing to her.'

Austin came to his senses and said seriously, "Boss, I just heard that Scarlett's cousin is looking for her everywhere, and she also threatens..."

At this time, Tracy's voice came from the other end of the table, "Son, what phone is so important that you have to answer it now? Finish your words and come back for dinner. The dishes on the table are getting cold."

"Almost done." Jack replied, but he didn't hear the last half sentence from Austin.

He said in a low voice, "Well, forget about her cousin. I don't think she can stir up any trouble. I have something important to do here. I have to hang up."

After hanging up the phone, Jack went back to the table. As soon as he sat down, Rachel had put down her chopsticks and wiped her mouth. "I'm full."

Jonathan pointed at the dishes on the table and asked, "You haven't too much."

"I don't eat much as usual." Rachel stood up and smiled, "I want to go out for a walk before dawn. Enjoy your meal."

It was a lie for her to say that she wanted to take a walk, but she wanted to avoid them directly and avoid the intimacy with Jack.

"Then I'll go with you." Jack also stood up.

Rachel said immediately, "No, thanks. You haven't had dinner yet. You can continue to eat with your parents. I can go out for a walk alone."

"No way! It's too dangerous for you to be alone."

"That's right. It's not too late to have dinner after you finish your walk. I'll ask Julie to heat up the dishes that Jack likes."

Jonathan and Tracy said one after another, leaving no chance for Rachel to refuse. She had to agree in a low voice, "Okay."

The weather of Ning City in the past two days was not good. The sky was a little dark, and the moon was nowhere to be found. There was not even a trace of starlight in the dark sky.

Perhaps the New Year's coming. The path outside the villa was hung with all kinds of suitable lanterns, which made the night as bright as day and pulled the shadows of the two people long.

Rachel wanted to reach the lantern, but she couldn't. When she was about to give up, Jack had taken it off and handed it to her. He smiled and said, "Do you like this?"

She shook her head, neither took it nor answered.

A trace of disappointment flashed through Jack's eyes, but he still held it in his hand and played with it for a while. He said with a smile, "If you like it, I'll hang a lantern in our yard. You can see them when you sit in the living room."

Hearing his faint smile and looking at his smiling eyes, Rachel felt a slight pain in her heart. She blurted out, "Jack, we two are destined to be separated. You don't have to do so many things."

The smile on Jack's face froze all of a sudden. He stared at her and said, "Rachel, it's my business whether I do it or not. You don't have to remind me all the time that we are going to separate."

His voice became a little cold at this moment.

Looking down at his shadow on the ground, Rachel pursed her lips. She didn't mean to remind him, but to remind herself.

Jack hung the lantern back, held her hand and said in a somewhat stern voice, "Now, we two are still husband and wife, so we should live like a couple. Let's talk about it later."

Rachel raised her head and looked at him sadly. She smiled silently and asked, "But what about her?"

Even if they just got along for a short time, Rachel couldn't calm herself down. She couldn't bear that the man beside her had to deal with another woman all the time.

Or, another woman could threaten her and the baby's safety at any time.

After a while, Jack said resolutely, "Don't worry. She won't appear again. Those incidents won't happen again."

Rachel's heart sank. She looked at her in surprise and asked, "What's wrong with her?"

"She left Ning City." Jack smiled faintly and pointed to a small park in front of him. "I think it's very lively there. Go and have a look?"

"Okay."

Rachel let him hold her hand and slowly walked forward.

In this period of time, she had gone through this road many times, but every time she was with Julie or herself, and it was her first time to be with him, wasn't it? But somehow, she felt a little relieved.

When they returned home, Jonathan and Tracy had left. Julie was busy in the kitchen.

Rachel was about to go back to her room to clean up, but was pressed by Jack to sit down on the sofa again. She frowned and asked, "I want to go back to my room. Why are you holding me like this?"

Jack raised his eyebrows and said mysteriously, "Sit down and wait for a while. You'll know it later."

"What are you doing?" Rachel murmured. She sat still, waiting to see what he was doing.

After a while, Rachel heard the footsteps. She turned around and saw that Jack came out of the bathroom with a bathtub in his hand. He carefully put it in front of her and said in a soft voice, "I've just tested it. The water temperature is just right, and it's the most suitable for the foot bath."

"No, thanks. I don't want foot bath." Rachel refused.

Jack had already half squatted down. Regardless of her refusal, he reached out to grab her right foot, took off the slippers on her feet, and then took off the socks on her feet, and put them into the bathtub. His movements were full of tenderness and caution. "How is it? Is the water temperature okay?"

Feeling a little embarrassed, Rachel replied in a low voice, "Well, it's okay."

Even when the two of them were the most intimate, Jack had never prepared a foot bath for her, nor had he been like this. Seeing that he bowed his head and adjusted the strength of the massage, she was moved, and even the tip of her nose was a little sore.

Rachel thought she should say something. When she was hesitating, her cell phone in her pocket suddenly buzzed. It was from Lea. She thought for a while and finally hung up.

Lea heard that the sound on the phone changing to "The number you dialed is still on the phone..."

She frowned and mumbled, "Why did you hang up on me?"

Then, her phone vibrated. Lea saw the message from Rachel. "It's not convenient to answer the phone now. What's up?" Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

It was her usual tone, but what made Lea most curious was that it was evening and Rachel was off duty. What was the inconvenience? Was it because...

Sitting alone on the bed, she smiled wickedly, which scared her to cry. "Mom is so terrible now."

Rachel looked down at her phone and asked, "What's the inconvenience now?"

'Didn't Lea call me to say something? Why does she turn to ask me now?'

However, this was the style of Lea. Rachel smiled and shook her head helplessly. Jack looked up at her and asked in a low voice, "What are you looking at? Is it so funny?"

"Nothing." Subconsciously, Rachel put the phone behind her back and looked down at it. "It's okay. Give me the towel. Let me wipe my feet."

"Let me do it." While speaking, Jack had already bent down and dried her feet with a towel. Then he picked up the bathtub and went back to the bathroom. When he came out, he said in a flat voice, "Your belly is so big now, and it's inconvenient for you to bend down. From now on, let me help you with this kind of thing."

"Actually..."

After saying a word, Rachel stopped.

In fact, she wanted to tell Jack that she didn't need to do these things, but she also knew that no matter how many times she said, he would still insist. Finally, she just raised the corners of her mouth and smiled faintly. Then she went to the room on the second floor.

Before closing the door, she turned to look at Jack, who was standing at the door. After thinking for a while, she said in a low voice, "Good night."

"Good night."

Jack raised his hand and gently waved it. At this moment, he did not know that the smile on his face was somewhat silly.

As soon as Rachel returned to her room, her cell phone rang again, which was from Lea. This time, she picked up the phone. Before she could say anything, Lea had already shouted at her in a loud voice, "Rachel, tell me honestly, what on earth were you busy with just now? Why didn't you answer the phone? And then you didn't even reply my message."

"Nothing."

Obviously, Lea didn't believe what Rachel said. She said angrily, "If you don't tell me the truth, I'll come to your house right away and have a look in person."

"Okay, okay, I'll tell you." With a helpless sigh, Rachel subconsciously glanced at the door, pursed her lips and said, "In fact, Jack was just next to me. It's not convenient for me to answer your phone."

"What did you say?" Lea asked immediately.

Rachel knew that she couldn't see, but she shook her head subconsciously. "Nothing. He just helped me with a foot bath."

"A foot bath?" Lea higher her voice. "Have you made it up?"

Rachel quickly put the phone away from her ear and didn't answered in a low voice until Lea calmed down, "No, we haven't."

"Then what's going on?"

Rachel didn't know how to answer this question.

The two of them seemed to have entered a strange circle. She enjoyed the feeling of being with him, but as soon as she thought of a new start, fear would attack her heart, making her timid.
