My Second Husband novel Chapter 1197

Soon, it was the weekend.

Since Rachel had decided to go to the club activity, she had to pack up her things.

When going out for a trip, especially to those remote places abroad, food and drink might not be as accessible as they were in the city. Therefore, she wanted to be well-prepared.

Rachel packed up all her belongings into a large suitcase.

Seeing her suitcase, Eddison wanted to lend her a hand.

"I'll help you to carry it!"

"No, I can do it myself!"

He sighed and said, "I guess I might die of hydration when we're there!"

Dumbfounded, Rachel said, "Yours is over there."

It turned out that she had also helped him to pack his things.

Upon hearing that, he could not help but give her a grin.

Although she didn't want to admit it, she still cared for him.

A low-carbon lifestyle had always been advocated in Country M. Furthermore, they were students and they didn't have cars. Therefore, they decided to go by bicycle.

Rachel had learned how to ride the bicycle before, but she had not ridden it for a long time. Hence, she was having a hard time as she couldn't cycle straight.

She didn't want anyone to help her, thus Eddison had to slow down his pace to wait for her.

Everyone was waiting impatiently at the gate of the university. Someone muttered in a low voice, "Why hasn't Eddison come yet?"

"Yeah, it's almost noon!"

Another guy said, "It's not just him. Rachel doesn't seem to be here either."

Sierra clenched her fists in anger.

She was thinking if the two of them had gone somewhere else together.

Then, she heard a girl shout, "There he is!"

"How come Rachel is following behind him? Isn't that too much of a coincidence?"

Sierra's heart sank while she was trying to smooth things over.

"There's only one path that leads in this direction.

Perhaps they met each other nearby." "Anyway, let's go!"

After that, everyone set off.

It was still cool when they were in the city. As soon as they got on the road, it was really hot as there were no trees to offer them shade.

It didn't take long for them to feel tired. Soon, they stopped and rested.

Sierra took out a water bottle and handed it to Eddison.

"Drink some water!"

He shook his head, "Thank you, but I've brought some for myself."

After that, he opened his bag and took out a bottle of water. However, he accidentally dragged out a handkerchief along with the bottle. Truth be told, there were very few people who still used handkerchiefs in such an era.

His handkerchief was made of cotton. It was plain and didn't look fancy, but Eddison found it quite handy.

Someone started to banter with him. "Oh, this handkerchief must have been prepared for you by a girl, no? Did Sierra prepare it for you?"

Sierra's face turned pale instantly, but she didn't explain herself.

Eddison bent down and picked up the handkerchief with a smile on his face. He said, "It was prepared by—"

He actually wanted to tell them it had been given to him by Rachel, but then he thought of the fact that Rachel was still somewhat worried about their relationship at the moment. He was afraid that she would be upset if he told them of their relationship without her consent.

Thinking of that, he cast a glance in Rachel's direction.

"It was prepared by someone I love."

Rachel stood alone under a tree next to them as she was not familiar with many of them. She was also taking out a bottle of water from her bag.

She happened to hear his confession. Although she was happy to hear that, she turned her head away, feigning indifference.

Hearing Eddison's words, everyone gave him a knowing smile and winked at Sierra.

Feeling awkward, Sierra lowered her head and wanted to drink her water, but she couldn't open her bottle.
