My Darling, My Dearest novel Chapter 459

Rachel tried hard not to say anything just now because she didn't want Lea to get more curious and start to question her. As a matter of fact, she had already thought of some excuses to refuse Lea's invitation. But all of her plans were in vain because of Jack.

Now, she couldn't help but roll her eyes at him.

Jack seemed to have realized that he did something wrong. He silently moved the plate in front of her and said in a low voice, "Rachel, I'll prepare another one for you. Don't be angry."

Rachel was at a loss upon seeing that he was trying to please her. She forced herself not to smile and said, "Then why don't you hurry up?"

She had never liked dumplings before. But since she got pregnant, she started to love them. She could even eat ten dumplings at breakfast.

After finishing the ten dumplings on her plate this morning, Rachel put down her chopsticks. She was about to stand up when she heard Lea's voice from the door. "Rachel, are you ready? I'm here to pick you up."

Lea came in and went to the dining room. When she saw Jack sitting next to Rachel, she just glanced at him and turned back expressionlessly. "Where is Celia?" Jack asked.

Without even looking at him, Lea replied flatly, "I don't know. Why don't you ask Marcus yourself?"

All of a sudden, there was an inexplicable sense of embarrassment and tension in the air.

Rachel's mouth twitched. She picked up her phone on the table and said lightly, "Let's go."

As soon as they got into the car, Lea asked curiously, "Rachel, what's going on? Have you and Jack reconciled?"

Rachel pursed her lips. "Didn't you say that you want to go shopping? Which shopping mall do you want to go to?"

"Any shopping mall is fine with me." Lea waved her hand casually and looked at Rachel again. "What's more important now is to talk about you."

"But I think it's more important to tell the driver which shopping mall to drive us." Rachel rolled down the window and pointed at the gate. "Are we going to stay outside my house the whole day?"

Lea looked outside the window and slapped her forehead lightly. "My brain is getting more and more useless."

She then tapped the driver's shoulder and said, "Please take us to the New World." After giving instructions to the driver, Lea turned back to Rachel to continue the topic. However, Rachel had already leaned back in her seat and closed her eyes. "Lea, I've just finished eating breakfast, so I feel a little sleepy now. I'll take a nap first. Just wake me up when we get there."

Obviously, Rachel wanted Lea to stop talking now.

Lea was left with no choice. Although she was so curious, she didn't have the heart to disturb Rachel's rest.

When they arrived at the mail's parking lot, Lea tapped Rachel's shoulder lightly. "We're here. Let's get out of the car quickly, so we can continue with our topic earlier."

Knowing that she couldn't avoid Lea's questions anymore, Rachel smiled helplessly. "If I tell you that we haven't reconciled yet, would you believe me?"

"No." As she spoke, Lea pulled Rachel into a children's clothing shop. She picked a red plaid skirt and looked at it again and again. She then asked, "Do you think this will look good on Rita?"

Rachel thought for a while and replied, "I think it fits her well."

She then took a light yellow coat and handed it to Lea. "Since you don't believe it, it only means that you haven't lost you good judgment after giving birth." Lea held the coat for a while and shook her head. "Not really. I just don't believe you can make up so soon. You're not that kind of person, after all."

Since she wasn't really good at picking

children's clothes, Rachel decided to stop choosing and simply stood aside. She then said, "If I don't have those worries, we might have made up."

"What kind of worries do you have?" Lea

stopped and looked at her in confusion.

Rachel fell silent for a while before she

answered, "A lot. By the way, I noticed that you seem to be unfriendly to Jack recently. Why do you still persuade me to be with him?"

"Don't you get it?" Lea poked her forehead. "If I treated him well, he'd be too proud. I'm

pretending to dislike him, so he'll realize that I am capable of speaking ill of him in front of you, and I can urge you to leave him. In that case, he'll get alarmed and do everything to please you."

Rachel hadn't realized Lea's intention. But after hearing Lea's long explanation, she had finally understood everything.

Lea winked at her and said proudly, "Do I deserve to be your best friend now? I'm doing all of these for you."
