My Darling, My Dearest novel Chapter 434

"I don't think I am pitiful. After all, I have you and Celia as my best friends who always care for me. And my baby is coming out soon. I think you all are enough to make my life perfect. I mean it."

Obviously, Rachel wanted to convince Lea that she was okay after everything that happened.

Lea felt a lump in her throat. All of a sudden, she felt like crying. She tried to restrain the tears that were about to well up in her eyes.

Pretending to be relaxed, Rachel patted her shoulder and said, "I'm going to work now. Do you mind driving me to the hospital?"

"Pay me, and I'll send you there right away," Lea joked.

Lea drove Rachel to the gate of the hospital. Rachel had already gone inside, but she didn't drive away yet. After thinking for a while, she dialed Jack's number.

Austin knocked at Jack's office with the minute book in his hand. He then entered and said, "Mr. Fu, everyone else is in the meeting room now. We can start the meeting anytime."

"Okay. I'll be right there." But as soon as Jack stood up, his phone vibrated. Seeing the name on the screen, he hesitated for a while before he finally answered it. "Hello?"

Lea yelled at him without greeting him.

"Jack Fu, what's wrong with you? When Rachel left, your life became miserable as if you couldn't live without her. Now that she's back, you turned and hooked up with another woman. Are you enjoying it?"

Jack moved the phone away from his ear. When Lea stopped talking, he asked indifferently, "Are you done?"

"Yes, I'm done."

Lea took a deep breath. After voicing out everything, she felt much better now. This was her. She would always feel uncomfortable if she held something in her heart, especially if it had something to do with Rachel. But after she'd said it all, she would feel relieved.

Jack then asked, "Did Rachel ask you to call me?"

Looking at his reflection through the French window, he could see that his lips were trembling slightly. He was full of mixed emotions right now.

"You are overthinking," Lea retorted and hung up. But the excitement in Jack's heart didn't dissipate for a long time. He knew, if Rachel really opposed it, Lea would not dare to call him and say those words to him.

But since Lea called, it only meant that Rachel acquiesced in it.

If Lea had Rachel's consent, it meant that Rachel still had feelings for him. Although she refused to admit it, she, in fact, still cared about him.

Jack's gloomy mood instantly became bright upon thinking about it.

Inside the meeting room, the managers who had been sitting there for quite a while now started to whisper to each other. They were wondering why Jack hadn't come in yet. One of them suggested to Austin, "How about you go and have a look? I have to meet a client later. If we start the meeting too late, I'm afraid I will not be able to meet the client on time."

"Yes, that's right," the rest of them echoed.

Austin closed the notebook in front of him and stood up. When he returned to Jack's office, he saw Jack picking up his car keys. From the looks of it, he was leaving.

He asked with a frown, "Mr. Fu, are you not joining the meeting?"

"No. Tell them that I have something important to deal with. Reschedule the meeting to some other time."

Without waiting for Austin to say something, Jack trotted out of his office. He initially planned to go to the hospital and tell Rachel everything. But on second thought, he realized that it was not the appropriate place to talk about their matter.

So instead of going to the hospital, he drove home and sat on the sofa quietly. He would wait for Rachel to come back from work.

When Rachel came out of the hospital, Jimmy was already waiting outside. Seeing a small bunch of flowers in her hand, he smiled and said, "You don't have to be so formal."

"This is my first time to watch Gary's performance. I honestly don't know what to give him, so I ended up with these flowers. Perhaps I should buy him a gift." Rachel sounded upset.

Jimmy opened the car for her, took the flowers, and put them on the back seat. "Don't bother. Your presence is already enough to make Gary happy."

Today's school activity was extraordinarily lively. There was even an arch placed at the school gate with two senior students standing on either side to welcome the parents and the guests.

As soon as Rachel got out of the car, she saw Gary waiting at the gate. When the little boy saw her, he excitedly ran towards her, "Aunt Rachel, you're finally here. I've already reserved two seats for you and Dad. I put my books on them, so no one would take them."

"Thank you, Gary." She gently rubbed Gary's head. When she looked around, she saw that Gary's grandma was rushing over to them while shouting, "Gary, slow down. There are so many people today. Be careful not to trip over."

Rachel smiled at her.

Gary's grandma immediately stopped nagging and smiled at her too. "You're here, Rachel. Good to see you."

When she looked at Rachel, Jimmy, and Gary together, there was a glimmer of satisfaction in her eyes.

Since it was winter, the days were shorter. It was only six o'clock in the evening, but it was already completely dark outside.
