My Darling, My Dearest novel Chapter 440

'Fight?'

After thinking about it for a while, Rachel decided to take a taxi to Garry's school. When she arrived at the teacher's office, she saw Gary and another child standing aside, with their heads facing towards the wall. She got a glimpse of their faces. Even from far, she could spot wounds. But fortunately, it wasn't that bad.

Just then, a teacher came over. "Are you Gary's friend?"

"Yes," Rachel said with a smile. Seeing the stern look on the teacher's face, she asked, "Why did Gary fight with that child? What's the reason for the row?"

The teacher raised the corners of her mouth and let out a helpless sigh. "They had both gone out to play basketball. That boy's personality is very aggressive, so they ended up fighting."

Rachel's eyes once again went back to the kids. She noticed Gary and the child were moving, gradually closing their distance. Soon, they were standing close to each other. With their heads lowered, they seemed to be whispering something.

Rachel couldn't help laughing. "I'm sorry to trouble you," she said to the teacher apologetically.

"It doesn't matter. All I do here school is take care of these children." The teacher called Gary's name and called him over. Then she looked at Rachel and said, "I've just taken them to the school infirmary. They are okay and the wounds will heal soon. Don't worry."

After saying thanks, Rachel walked out of the school with Gary. When she hailed a taxi, she asked, "Are you going home or do you want me to take you to your father's shop?"

He said he wished to be dropped at his father's shop. In the electric store, there were a lot of people. Gary walked in front of Rachel, like an adult. Every time he came across a careless person, he announced, "Step aside. My aunt is pregnant."

Hearing this, a smile appeared on Rachel's face. Rubbing his hair lovingly, she said, "You are so sweet and caring, thanks."

Gary stopped, turned around to look at her, and said in an authoritative tone, "Aunt, I'm not a kid anymore. I am a grown-up who can take care of you."

"Yes, yes, you sure are," Jimmy said, appearing before them out of the blue. His face fell on Gary's wounds. Kneeling down, he asked, "Hey, what's up with your face?

Did you get into a fight?" A frown appeared on Jimmy's face.

Rachel explained, "He had a small conflict with his classmate and the two of them got into a fight. The teacher asked him to go back early."

"Thanks for your help!" Jimmy stood up straight and took Gary to his side. With a trace of apology in his eyes, he said, "I'm really sorry to trouble you."

"It's not a big deal. Now that I've brought him to your shop safely, I think I should go back." When she turned around and was about to leave, a kid came rushing towards her path. Seeing that she was about to bump into him, Rachel wanted to move aside and her feet didn't budge.

Seeing this, Jimmy rushed and pulled her back. His hands were protectively wrapped on her body. "Are you okay?" he asked, sounding genuinely concerned.

"I'm fine." The incident that happened now left her a little breathless. If Jimmy hadn't come at the right time, she couldn't imagine what would have happened to her.

Slowly, he let her go and scratched the back of his head. "I am glad you are fine. If anything happened while you are in my shop, I'll be the one to blame."

Rachel smiled at his words.

The two of them began talking again. A figure was watching them but it went unnoticed by them.

Jack's face suddenly darkened, and an indescribable desolation and coldness appeared. He clenched his fists while his heart was brewing with resentment.

He drove here with an intention of having a chat with Jimmy. Since he knew Jimmy was short of money, he had planned to buy him off with money. It seemed like a good way to keep him away from Rachel. But the sight before him brought him to a standstill.

'She is here in his shop!' he thought with anger. Their relationship had to be quite intimate if Rachel had picked up his child. He realized there was nothing he could do about it. Feeling both pain and anger, he disappeared from there.

In the children's amusement park, Lea rested her head on Henry's shoulder, and from time to time looked at Rita sitting on the merry-go-round.

Henry covered his mouth with his hand, yawned and asked, "What's wrong? Why do you seem sad?"

"It's about Rachel," Lea said. Sitting up straight, she entwined her hand with Henry's. "What's wrong with Jack? Rachel is pregnant and yet he decides to be with another woman. What is up with him?"

"How do I know?" Henry dodged having an eye contact with her. He pointed at the merry-go-round and said, "Hey, look, isn't it a bit difficult for Rita to sit still? Shouldn't we go and help her?" It was his vain attempt at changing the topic.

"Not at all. Rita always plays here. And merry-go -round is her favorite. She doesn't need us,"
