Stuck in you
Chapter 137 You've Already Signed The Divorce Agreement
This time, Lea was also stunned into silence. Jack pretended to not have noticed their expressions and sat down beside Rachel.
After a few moments of hesitation, Lea almost leapt from her seat. She stared at Jack and Rachel and then pointed a finger. Stuttering, she said, "You two..." Jack calmly smiled.
He reached out and enveloped Rachel's hand in his.
Turning to look at Lea, he asked, "What's wrong with us?"
She couldn't believe what was happening right in front of her eyes. Lea glanced at Rachel. "What's wrong with you?"
"There is nothing wrong, Miss Ye. Why are you getting so emotional?" Jack asked instead. He did not wait for Rachel to respond. Instead, he replied for her.
Lea rubbed her forehead. She was overwhelmed with shock. Her yelling had caught the attention of some onlookers.
She lowered her voice and twisted her hand on the table. Her beautiful face looked ferocious. "I'm not asking you! Rachel! Tell me!"
Rachel's cheeks started to turn pink. She wished the earth would swallow her whole.
She tried to pull her hand out of Jack's grasp, but failed.
She did not want to make a scene in front of everyone so she didn't try again. "Nothing... You..." She trailed off, unable to think of the right thing to say.
'What could I say? Don't be so surprised?
Don't be so scared?'
Nothing was making sense! If you found that your best friend was in a relationship with a man who was unfaithful, what could you really say? Nothing. You would just blow up.
Feeling like she would explode any minute, Lea picked up her bag to leave. "Jack, don't follow us. Rachel, come find me in ten minutes after you have had time to think. I want to know what's going on."
Rachel immediately pulled her hand out of Jack's once Lea had left.
She glared at him. "Why are you here?" she asked.
He seemed unfazed. "I remembered that I had to tell you something. So, I followed you here."
But, he did not add that when he had arrived, he had heard Lea asking Rachel that question. It had made him uncomfortable. Seeing that even she had avoided answering that question, he strode over to them without thinking twice.
Rachel hung her head low. She felt like she had been caught doing something bad. Shame and panic washed over her.
Nothing had even happened between her and Jack.
Why didn't she tell that to Lea? 'It was nothing.
