My Darling, My Dearest novel Chapter 281

"If you feel bored at home, you can apply for this job," Jack said.

Compared to becoming a doctor, teaching was an easier job.

"Besides, this is also related to your profession."

In the living room of the Fu family, Jonathan furrowed his eyebrows and kept silent for a long time. Finally, he said, "Rachel, have you thought it over?"

She nodded.

She didn't expect that the news of her going back to work would reach her in-laws in such a short amount of time.

That evening, when she was discussing with Jack about changing her job, they encountered another dispute.

In Rachel's point of view, being a professor and being a doctor were two different things. Although they might be in the same field, it just wouldn't be the same.

Doctors were the front-liners. Not only would she be able to practice all the theories taught inside the classroom, but she would also be able to experience the joy of helping her patients.

Teaching was different from that.

The atmosphere between them was stiff. She was about to say something else when her phone rang. It was Jonathan. "Rachel, I heard you were planning on heading back to the hospital."

"How did you know?"

She shot Jack a look, and he shook his head.

Jonathan didn't answer her question. "How about you and Jack come here? We can talk about it," he suggested.

And here they were right now sitting on the sofa as she faced her in-laws.

"Jack, what do you think?"

Although it wasn't a big matter, it was still a deciding matter on how their relationship would go forward.

After taking a deep breath, he nodded. "It's up to her."

Jack had already thought it over. At this point, it was better for her to take a job she actually liked than force her into a job that she didn't prefer in the first place.

As for it not being safe, he would handle it. As a man, he shouldn't just stop her from chasing her opportunities all because of some unknown danger.

Instead, he should prepare her for it.

That was his responsibility, and that was something he should live up to.

Besides, Rachel loved her job. He wasn't going to let her give it up.

Hearing his words, Rachel was moved.

She looked at him with affection in her eyes.

"You really agree?" she asked cautiously.

He smiled. "As long as you're happy."

At the end of the day, one of them had to compromise.

This time, he would do it.

"Thank you," Rachel said sincerely.

If it weren't for Jonathan's presence, then she would've thanked him in another way. Her eyes glinted.

Jonathan drew back his gaze and smiled. "Since you already reached an agreement, then we won't have any objections."

If Eric didn't call and exaggerated about their fight, then Jonathan wouldn't have called Rachel up and asked her to come over.

Once Tracy heard what Jonathan said, she furrowed and was about to say something.

"My shoulder's a little sore today. Could you massage it?" Jonathan found an excuse to distract his wife.

"You're annoying,"

she murmured unwillingly. Tracy stood up and walked towards him.

Seeing that this matter was already settled, she saw no need to add any comments.

However, she couldn't help but feel bitter.

She had wanted to take advantage of this opportunity of letting Rachel stay at home. Once she cared for her health and once Jack finished his operation, then they could have a child.

She didn't expect that Rachel would be so willing to go back to work that quickly.

Although she didn't know how busy a doctor was, she had watched enough on TV to know that they wouldn't be having that much alone time in the future.

Once he finished up a bowl of spicy noodles, Eric burped loudly.

He decided to go to the living room and watch TV.

Suddenly, the door opened from the outside.

With a guilty conscience, Eric immediately stood up. "Why did you come back so soon?"

"I think you should ask yourself." Jack snorted and motioned to the fast food box on the table. "Don't forget to clean it up."

'I don't need you to remind me, asshole.'

Of course, Eric didn't dare speak of it out loud.

Jack glanced at his watch. "I'm going upstairs. I'll be having a video conference later."

Jonathan actually planned that they should stay with them for the night, but Jack didn't take his laptop with him. This was why they came back so soon.

After dinner, they hurriedly returned.

Rachel nodded. She glanced at Eric who was just about to leave after tidying up the table. She stretched out her arm to stop him from going anywhere.

"Were you the one who told Dad that I'll be going back to work?"

She knew that if it wasn't Jack, Eric would be the only one who knew of the information.
