My Darling, My Dearest novel Chapter 165

After making sure that the child was fine, Jack nodded to Rona and then pushed the cart away with Rachel.

Rona stood there in surprise, and stared at their receding backs. She had a confused expression on her face.

She was completely unprepared to run into Jack and Rachel together there.

Did Jack really accompany Rachel when she went shopping?

As she thought of her close friend, Rona felt too upset to say anything.

For Jack and Rachel, coming across Rona unexpectedly was not a big deal. But to Rona, it was like being struck by lightning.

Rona didn't come back to her senses until Jack nodded at her and left.

She heard someone else asking her, "Is your brother all right?"

"The boy is crying. Pick him up."

The noise bothered her and made her anxious, so she pulled the little boy up from the floor.

"Stopping crying. Where's the nanny?" she said impatiently.

They walked out of the children's toy area. As for Rachel, meeting Rona was no different from

meeting any other acquaintance.

However, Jack's conscience was uneasy, so he observed her cautiously. When he saw that she seemed to be normal and natural, he felt a little relieved.

Rona was Celine's best friend. He couldn't help thinking of his ex-girlfriend when he saw her.

However, what he really cared about was whether Rachel would mind.

He was afraid that she would feel upset to be reminded of his former relationship.

He was also worried that they would lose their good mood. They talked about the chaotic conditions of the shopping mall just now. They rarely had the same opinions, but they both agreed that this mall was very poorly managed. When they chatted, the atmosphere was naturally harmonious.

Rachel's face revealed no change of emotion. Seeing her like that, Jack secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that she might be affected by that encounter.

After talking about what happened just now, Rachel continued, "Those parents should take better care of their children. If my son was there, I wouldn't let him to make a scene in public."

She only said that to make her point about the noisy kid. But she saw an interesting gleam in Jack's eyes, and then he smiled with his lips slightly pursed.

"You will be a good mother," he said.

Rachel wasn't sure how to answer that. 'I will be

a good mother? How did that come up?1

"The only thing we don't have now is a child," he added.

Rachel pretended not to hear his words, pushing the cart forward a few steps. Her eyes wandered across the vegetable shelves. She asked him, "What do you want to eat?"

Jack leaned towards her and extended his hand to take an eggplant from the shelf. "How about stewed eggplant?"

"That's too oily for you right now." Rachel took it from him and put it back on the shelf. "Pick another

one.

With his deep eyes, he glanced at the vegetables. With a faint smile at the corners of his mouth, he said, "It's up to you."

Rachel was carefully exploring the bedding aisle. She pushed the cart and slowly walked away. Her cooking schedule for Jack was carefully customized based on what foods were good for his stomach. Before she came to the supermarket, she had already knew what to buy. However, she still liked to check with him about what he liked first.

Hearing his words, Rachel thought that Jack might misunderstand her, so she explained, "You can choose whatever you like, and we can change the method of cooking. You just need to avoid eating dishes that are very oily or spicy."

He stood tall and straight, with one hand in his pocket. He picked up a box of tomatoes and flipped it over. "I'm not really in the mood for anything. Why don't you give me some suggestions? How about

that? My private doctor."

His voice was husky and seductive. He was really doing a good job flirting with her.

Rachel turned her head away, thinking he was going too far, even though he had tried to say it with a simple voice.

So she tried to brush it off. She made a murmur vaguely and looked around, pretending to be busy. "Let me have a look..."

Unaware of what she was thinking, Jack took over the cart and followed her in a leisurely manner.

Both of them were attractive in appearance, which caused many people to turn and look at them.

But they stared at Jack the most. He really stood out from the crowd, with his handsome appearance and strong build.

Despite so much attention bearing down on him, he pretended not to notice it.

They selected a few vegetables and spareribs. It might be a little late in the evening, but Rachel planned to stew yam and pork rib soup for him the next day. So she picked out the ingredients, and went back to the fresh fruit section.

It was the season when there were plenty of watermelons, peaches, and other fruits displayed on the shelves in order.

Some of the watermelons were cut into small pieces and wrapped in plastic box. Rachel wasn't interested in those, so she turned her eyes to the big, full watermelons on the long cabinet.

Her eyes lit up. She pointed at them and said, "Can you choose a good watermelon? Go and pick a sweet one."

Jack could choose vegetables well, but he was not good at choosing fruits.
