Stuck in you novel Chapter 55

Lucas had purchased the Transformer for Mendes as a reward for his good behavior, which made him surprised and very happy.

The saleswoman smiled brightly after they finished paying the bill. Rachel hesitated for a moment and asked, "How is the woman stirring up trouble?"

The saleswoman's smile disappeared and she shook her head. "I don't know either." She glanced back at the cashier and began to count the bills.

Rachel nodded while Lucas said sympathetically, "It's normal for children to be naughty sometimes. Children must be taught to be obedient. It was unfair that she made things difficult for your colleague."

The saleswoman was a little surprised at what he said. Most customers would were always under the impression that they were right. She still nodded and replied, "Thank you very much for your consideration. I will pass this on to our shop manager."

Lucas nodded.

Mendes just stared at them, oblivious to what had happened.

The saleswoman smiled once again and handed them their purchased items. "Take care! Thank you for shopping here! We hope you come back again!"

Since Lucas was in charge of carrying the bags, Rachel decided to hold Mendes' hand. After exiting the story, Mendes was once again easily distracted by the mall's surroundings.

Rachel still had doubts when they were going upstairs to the restaurant for dinner. "What made you so enthusiastic to help the saleswoman?" she asked.

Rachel grimaced. She didn't really know how to express herself or find the appropriate words to describe Lucas' unusual enthusiasm.

She didn't take it seriously before. She had thought the customer was bullying the saleswoman and that he couldn't bear it. But when she was about to leave, Lucas even told another saleswoman that they shouldn't make it difficult for the saleswoman, which confused her.

Lucas had always been a man of a few words, but now he acted so kind-hearted.

Lucas understood what she meant. However, he didn't answer her immediately as Mendes' meal was served.

Lucas carefully helped the child set up his tableware first before explaining, "When I went out for the training, I encountered something like that."

Lucas noticed that Mendes' sleeves wasn't rolled up, so he raised his hand to smooth them for him.

"What do you mean?" Rachel felt that there was some story behind what he was trying to say. "Was that why you helped that employee?"

"Well, it's basically the same thing." Lucas recalled and he touched his forehead gently. He forced a smile and said, "At that time, I didn't stand up because I thought it was none of my business. But later on, something happened and I began to regret not helping others."

Rachel could not figure out what made Lucas regret his actions. But she stopped asking after getting the hint that he didn't want to explain in detail.

After the dishes were served, they began to eat in silence.

It made her feel uneasy. There seemed to be a deeper meaning in the story he was trying to tell. Her instinct told her that it had something to do with him taking care of Mendes.

After dinner, Lucas sent her home before taking Mendes back with him.

And it was a long time later that Rachel realized the type of love he had encountered in the story.

Only then did Rachel understand why Lucas would help take care of Mendes temporarily.

As soon as Jack opened the door to Celine's house, he smelled the stench of the booze. His nose scrunched up in disgust and his brows were knitted tightly.

Following the smell, he entered the living room, finding empty bottles all over the place. His face darkened. He quickly went towards the bedroom and upon opening the door, he saw Celine lying down on the bed, drunk.

Hearing the sound of the door open, she opened her eyes. She saw Jack and greeted him with a silly smile. "Hi, you're here!"

Seeing her as drunk as a mule, Jack frowned. He sighed with displeasure. "Why are you drinking again?"

Celine closed her eyes, pretending not to hear him. But, Jack shouted aggressively, "Get up!"

Celine narrowed her eyes at Jack and angrily retorted, "Leave me alone! Get out!"

Jack sneered, "If you wanted me to get out, then why did you call me?"
