My Darling, My Dearest novel Chapter 202

Then Rachel complained, "We are not kids anymore, Jack."

Jack smiled and replied, "But why do I feel like I am only ten years old right now?"

Rachel couldn't help laughing. "Hey, that's enough!" She started to doubt if the Jack in front of her was still the same person. "Stop making fun of me," she added.

Jack came to her and held her hand. He then pulled her closer and started to walk slowly again.

All they could hear around them were crickets and other insects making a sound. It felt good to be away from the hustle and bustle of the city and enjoy a different environment.

Jack finally felt relaxed, so he started flirting with Rachel again. This made her feel that he was now back to his old self.

When Rachel thought of how he looked like earlier, she couldn't help shivering. His dark eyes were so frightening that it really scared her to death.

Rachel pretended to annoy him. She put her hand on his forehead and murmured, "You don't seem to have a fever right now."

Jack pulled Rachel's hand off and continued to tease her. The fireworks were starting to light the sky again, one after another.

Meanwhile, Henry and Lea had been staying at her parental home for a few days now. Apparently, he was being tested by her family. Her father and her two brothers were giving him a hard time.

They were all difficult to deal with. Henry knew that Lea's family was wealthy, but he didn't expect that her father and brothers were also martial artists.

They were well-trained and definitely knew how to scare him.

Perhaps the two brothers saw Henry as a wicked man who seduced their sister and even got her pregnant.

In front of Lea, they treated Henry well. But when she was not around, their attitude towards him changed.

When they patted Henry's shoulder, the latter almost fell to the floor due to the impact. Lea's brothers had been taking turns in talking to him, asking him about how he was treating their sister.

Although Henry didn't show them any negative behavior, the two brothers seemed to be still wary of him. He felt like they were deliberately giving him troubles.

Living with Lea's family for a few days felt like hell for Henry. He had the most miserable life. Now he knew that what she had said to him before coming here was not a joke.

But since he was determined to marry her, he must accept all the tests that her family gave him.

He knew he could handle it, as long as Lea was there for him. At night, he would take his clothes off

and lay down beside the mother of his child. He would pretend to look pitiful, which made her feel sorry for him.

If Lea's brothers found out that Henry was playing such tricks, they would probably get furious and kick him out of their house immediately.

Lea's father also saw how his two sons bullied Henry, but he didn't try to stop them. Instead, he ignored them on purpose as if Henry was invisible to his eyes.

Henry noticed Lea's father's attitude, and he couldn't help panicking. And he only stopped worrying about it when Lea explained to him everything.

From then, he started to be calm in front of the two brothers, no matter how much they bullied him. As expected, they were surprised by his sudden change.

They were wondering why Henry started to become silly.

But Lea knew her brothers. She had expected that this strategy would please them and would make them stop bullying Henry.

Lea's father, who seemed to treat him like air, had been keeping an eye on Henry. Finally, something changed on Henry's fifth day of living with them.

When there was no one left in the house, Lea's father called Henry to his study.

Henry thought to himself, 'The day has finally come.'

In the past few days, Lea's father had just ignored him. So now that he was finally seeing him in his study, Henry felt that everything had paid off.

With Lea's help, he was able to realize that her father was just testing him.

So he had been anticipating for this day to come, that her father would finally talk to him alone.

But as Henry entered the study, he was sweating, and his heart was fluttering.

After all, he got Lea pregnant before marriage. No matter how good of a man he was, he was aware that no father would want this to happen to his daughter.

When he was invited to sit down, Henry sat primly. He knew that his fate depended on this old man in front of him. Lea's father took a sip of his tea first before squinting at him. "You look so nervous. Just relax, I won't eat you."

Henry pursed his lips and thought inwardly, 'This is the most important stage of my battle. How can I relax?'

"What's your name gain?" Lea's father asked in a lazy tone as if it was their first meeting.
