Chapter 459 Met A Classmate During Shopping
She tried hard not to say anything just now, because she didn't want to arouse the gossip of Lea. And she could think of a random reason to muddle through and refuse her invitation, but now... All the good plans were in vain because of Jack!
Rachel couldn't help but roll her eyes at Jack.
Jack also realized that he seemed to have done something wrong. He silently moved the plate in front of him and lowered his voice, "Rachel, I'll prepare another one for you. Don't be angry."
Seeing that he was trying to please her, Rachel was at a loss whether to cry or to laugh. She forced herself to hold back her smile and said, "Then why don't you hurry up?"
In the past, Rachel didn't like eating dumplings. But now, after she got pregnant, her taste had changed. Even for breakfast, she could eat ten dumplings at a time.
It was the same this morning. She had just finished the ten dumplings on the plate. When she put down the chopsticks, the voice of Lea came from the door, "Rachel, are you ready? I'm here to pick you up."
When she came in, she saw Jack sitting next to her. He glanced at her and then turned around expressionlessly.
"Where is Christina?" Jack asked first, as greeting to Lea.
Without even looking him in the eye, Lea said calmly, "Then you have to ask him. I don't know."
Inexplicably, there was a sense of embarrassment and tension in the air, as if the distribute could be triggered at any time.
The corners of Rachel's mouth twitched. She picked up the phone on the table and said lightly, "Okay, let's go."
As soon as they got into the car, Lea grabbed Rachel's hand and asked curiously, "What's going on? Have you reconciled with Jack?"
Rachel curved her lips. "Didn't you say that you want to go shopping? Which shopping mall are we going to now?"
"Any shopping mall is okay." Lea waved her hand casually and saw her still. "It's more important to care about your business." NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
"But I think it's more important to tell the driver which shopping mall we want to go now." Rachel rolled down the window and pointed at the gate, "Are you going to visit my house for a day?"
Lea look at it and patted her forehead. "Look at my brain. It's getting more and more useless."
She patted the driver on the shoulder and said, "Please help us to The New World. I want to eat a dessert there."
After she finished her words, she turned around and wanted to continue the topic. Rachel had already leaned back a little, closed her eyes and said slowly, "I just finish breakfast and feel a little tired now. I'll take a nap first, and you wake me up when we arrive."
The implication was that she should stop talking now.
Lea touched her nose. Although she was curious, she had to shut up obediently.
Finally, they arrived at The New World. Lea patted Rachel on her shoulder. "Here we are. Get out of the car quickly. We can continue that topic."
Knowing that she couldn't escape in the end, Rachel smiled helplessly and said truthfully, "If I said we haven't reconciled, do you believe me?"
"No, I don't." As she spoke, Lea pulled Rachel into a children's clothing shop. She picked a red plaid vest skirt and looked at it again and again. Then she asked, "Do you think this dress looks good on Rita?"
Rachel thought for a while and said, "It should fit her."
As she spoke, she took out another light yellow coat from the side, handed it to Lea and said, "Since you don't believe it, it means that you haven't lost the most basic judgment because of being pregnant."
Lea held the coat for a while and shook her head. "I just don't believe you can make it up so soon. It's not your style to do so."
Rachel really didn't know how to choose for children's clothes, so she simply stood aside and answered, "If there are no worries, we might have made up."
"What kind of worries?" Lea stopped and turned to look at her in confusion.
After a moment's silence, Rachel said in a low voice, "Too much. By the way, I saw that you didn't seem to be friendly with Jack just now. Why did you persuade me to be with him?"
"You don't understand, do you?" Lea reached out and pocked Rachel's forehead. "If I showed my satisfaction with him in front of you, he would be proud. I'm helping you to create a sense of crisis for him, so that he can feel that I may speak ill of him in front of you, and then urge you to separate from him!"
It turned out that there were so many twists and turns. Rachel's face involuntarily showed an expression of being taught when she heard Lea's long speech.
Lea was a little proud and said, "Do I treat you well enough? I have thought it over for you!"
"Yes, yes!"
The two of them looked at the clothes and talked about their own things, without noticing that two pairs of eyes were staring at them behind them.
Kailey stared at their backs with resentment. Her friend lowered her voice and said softly, "Don't be impulsive and do anything stupid. Your cousin wanted to hurt her baby last time. Look at what happened to her. If you were her, you would be more miserable!"
"I know." Kailey snorted, clenched her fists and said angrily, "But I won't let it go!"
Two days ago, she went to Scarlett's house to look for her as usual, but no one came to open the door after pushing it for a long time, and her phone was always powered off. She muttered in her heart, 'Is there anything wrong?'
She went around to the security room at the gate of the community and consulted. Then she knew that Scarlett had left and didn't come back.
All of a sudden, Kailey was burning with anxiety. She had almost used up all the money she had gotten from Scarlett. She came here this time to get more money, but she couldn't find her cousin at once, which meant that she would be out of money.
She had been used to such a luxurious life. How could she not be anxious?
However, after searching for a whole day, Kailey asked all the places that Scarlett usually went to, and all her friends, no one knew where she went.
She had no choice but to draw some money from the money she had left and hired a detective to help her investigate. Then she knew what had happened.
Today, when Kailey went shopping with her friend, she happened to meet with Rachel. Listening to the topic she was talking with Lea, a scheme came to her mind.
With a sneer, Kailey crooked her finger at her friend, motioned her to get close to her ear, whispered a few words, and finally patted her on the shoulder complacently. "Is my plan good?"
The two of them had been shopping in the mall for almost a day. Each of them had bought a lot of things, but most of them were baby's, and only a little for themselves.
With a hint to the driver to open the trunk, Lea put all the bags in and sighed, "It's really expensive to raise a child now."
Rachel curved her lips. "That's right. So we have to work harder to earn money."
Lea clapped her hands and motioned the driver to close the trunk. Then she put her hand on Rachel's shoulder and said, "Let Jack make more money. You don't have to work so hard. We just need a job."
With a faint smile on her face, Rachel didn't say anything. She just reached out her hand to open the door. At this time, a clear female voice came from behind the two, "Rachel, Lea?"
They turned around at the same time and looked at the woman walking towards them. They looked at each other and saw a trace of doubt in each other's eyes.
Lea asked with uncertainty, "Are you Anna Wu?"
"Yes, yes." The slightly fat woman in front of her nodded hard. "You two haven't changed at all. You are still the same as before. I can recognize you from afar."
She looked at Rachel up and down and asked in surprise, "Are you pregnant?"
With a faint smile on her face, Rachel replied, "Yes."
Anna Wu was Rachel and Lea's classmate in junior high school. They didn't have much contact with each other before and belonged to two different social circles. They hadn't met again for so many years
after graduation. To be honest, it was the first time this day.
In such a situation, Rachel really didn't know what to say.
After a short reply, she could only laugh awkwardly and stood blankly, not knowing what to say.
The three of them stood there speechlessly. It was so embarrassing that Rachel had to tug at the corner of Lea's clothes and motioned her to speak quickly.
Lea scratched her hair and finally asked, "Anna, are you shopping here too? What did you buy?"
As soon as she asked this question, she laughed awkwardly, perhaps because she herself felt it a little boring.
Anna Wu shook the two shopping bags in her hands and said with a smile, "I just bought two sets of clothes. I will get married soon."
"Really?" With her eyes wide open, Lea blurted out, "You look much fatter than middle school. I thought you had a baby and haven't lost weight yet."
Anna Wu's original smiled lips immediately dropped, and her face quickly flushed.
With an awkward smile, Rachel changed the topic powerlessly, "Are you getting married soon? Congratulations!"
