My Darling, My Dearest novel Chapter 151

Eric changed his mind again and said, "Then I'll just wait for you here."

"I'm going to the supermarket underground."

"Then I'll wait for you at the entrance of the supermarket." Obviously, Eric wasn't in the mood to move around. Rachel was left with no choice so she just said, "Okay, okay. Anyway, I won't take long."

They then went downstairs together. When Eric saw an empty chair, he immediately swept himself to it and waved to Rachel happily. "See you later."

When Rachel looked around, she saw a play area behind Eric. She just hoped that when she came back later, she wouldn't see him playing with the children there.

She only needed a few items so it only took her less than twenty minutes to buy everything. But when she came out, Eric wasn't there anymore.

Even if she looked around, she still couldn't see Eric. She was about to call him when she heard his voice from behind, "Rachel."

Rachel turned around. He quickly came over and took the shopping bags from her hand.

"Where have you been?" she asked.

Eric hesitated for a moment before he replied, "I went to the bathroom."

"Okay. Let's go home. I already have everything I need."

"Rachel..." Apparently, Eric had something to say. But eventually, he decided to just keep quiet. Rachel turned to him with confusion and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing," he answered sulkily.

Rachel didn't ask some more and they took the elevator to the ground floor. But when she was about to ask him if he wanted to have dinner outside, she saw a strange expression on his face.

He suddenly turned around and stood in front of her. He pointed to a direction of one store and said, "Rachel, I think that store is great. Let's go there and have a look." Perplexed, Rachel looked at the direction where he was pointing. Her mouth twitched slightly. "Is pharmacy a great store? They only sell medicines and health products."

Eric looked embarrassed for a moment. Rachel couldn't help but frown. He was acting weirdly.

A trace of nervousness flashed through Eric's face but she failed to notice it. She looked at her watch and asked, "Would you like to have dinner outside or cook at home?"

"Let's just go home," replied Eric.

"Okay," she agreed.

However, Eric froze after taking a few steps. He suddenly changed his mind. "I think it's better to have dinner outside."

Rachel was speechless. She stared at Eric for a while before she said, "Make up your mind first before you tell me."

"Yes, I've decided. Let's have dinner here," Eric sounded firm all of a sudden. "I saw a restaurant on the second floor. Let's go and eat there."

"Okay, let's go there. But are you really sure now?" Rachel doubted his words this time.

Eric blinked his eyes. "Yes, I'm sure." "Let's go then," Rachel said with a smile.

When they started walking again, a woman's charming voice called out from behind, "Eric!"

Eric pretended not to hear it, but Rachel seemed to hear something. She was about to turn around to see who it was when Eric suddenly grabbed her hand.

But the voice from behind followed them closely. "Eric, wait up!"

The voice was so loud that Rachel couldn't ignore it anymore. She stopped walking and looked up to him. "Someone is calling your name," she said.

With a darkened face, Eric turned around and walked towards the woman. Compared with his stinky face, the woman's expression was like a spring breeze.

"We met again,"

he snorted. "What's the matter? If you have nothing else to say, we'll leave now."

"Hey!" The woman who was wearing a pink dress got angry. "How can you do this to me? You're so rude!"

He looked at her strangely and answered, "I don't care. I'm not in the mood to please you."

Perhaps what Eric had said hurt the girl deeply

because Rachel saw that her eyes turned red immediately.

Rachel considered Eric's behavior unacceptable so she stepped forward and said to him lightly, "Be polite. Don't be so rude."

The woman peered at Rachel and bit her lower lip. She then turned to look at Eric again and called his name. "Eric..."

Eric didn't even bother to answer. Despite Rachel's advice, he still turned around and ignored her.

Rachel was a little embarrassed. She didn't have any idea why Eric seemed to hate this woman so much.

The woman lowered her head and wiped her eyes with a tissue. She took a deep breath to calm herself down. She then stared at Eric's back with a resentful expression on her face and said, "I'm sorry. I won't bother you anymore."

With hands in his pockets, Eric stopped walking. His back straightened up a little but he didn't look back. He seemed not to care for her at all.

The woman turned and walked away. Rachel didn't know what to say. She walked up to him and said, "She's gone. Shall we have dinner?" Eric didn't respond. He was in a daze. "Don't just stand here like a fool. Let's go." Rachel tapped his shoulder a little.

"Oh," Eric said in surprise. He then fixed his cap and walked with her to the elevator.

When they were inside the elevator, Eric

suddenly asked, "Rachel, why don't you ask me?"

"Ask what?" Rachel asked back confusedly. "About that woman."

"You have already explained it to me, haven't you?"

Eric had just told her how annoying that woman
