My Darling, My Dearest

Chapter 194

If Rachel was a hot- tempered person, she would have already smashed Lea with a hammer.

But they had been the best of friends for so many years. Understanding, support, and respect were the most things they did for each other.

Now that Rachel decided to be with Jack, all Lea could do was complain a little.

There was no need to keep on repeating how much she disliked Jack.

After all, Rachel didn't care about it that much. She was already used to Lea's attitude.

She was just amused that Lea was already wishing for her relationship with Jack to end soon even before it could go deeper.

When Jack crossed her mind, she couldn't help chuckling.

Lea wouldn't hide his displeasure towards Jack. She might even give him a hard time every time they met.

Talking too much seemed to have made Lea's mood better.

She took a sip of water and said, "I think I just overreacted when you told me about your relationship with Jack. Actually, it's not really bad. After all, you were raised by Fu family. Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

Jonathan treats you as his own child. He must be very glad that you are finally willing to be with Jack.

I honestly think that Jack is a decent man except for his having a mistress, of course."

Rachel held back her laughter. A few moments ago, Lea was cursing Jack to death. But now, she was praising him. Lea continued, "At least he doesn't have any moral issues. He's not the common

topic of gossips. Overall, he is very good. As long as he treats you well, I'll definitely give him a score of 8/10."

Rachel couldn't stand it anymore. She found it strange that Lea suddenly became so serious.

She buried her face in both hands and shook her head vigorously. "Stop it! You're making me feel that no man wants me except for Jack."

Lea laughed and said, "Come on. I'm just expressing my thoughts."

Her mischievousness lightened up the atmosphere. Rachel heaved a sigh of relief because what she had been worrying about didn't happen.

She felt better now that she had finally told Lea the truth.

'Thanks God!' she thought inwardly.

Actually, the reason why Lea didn't cause too much trouble for Rachel was because she was also in a mess. She didn't have enough strength to persuade Rachel to stay away from Jack because she was also overwhelmed by her own problem.

And now that Rachel's problem was finally resolved, she needed to go back to her own.

As if Rachel had read Lea's mind, her eyes

moved down to her flat belly.

She hesitated for a while before asking, "What's Henry's plan about the baby?"

Upon hearing Henry's name, Lea's head ached again.

After telling Henry that she would consider the proposal, she began acting as if nothing had happened. She didn't even reply to his message this morning.

When Henry called her and told her that he would bring breakfast, she refused by making her appointment with Rachel an excuse.

Obviously, she was trying to avoid him. He wasn't that naive not to notice it.

But he didn't say anything. After saying a few gentle words to her, he sent his driver to take Lea to Rachel's house.

The situation was completely turned upside down this time. Henry was now the one eagerly pursuing her and taking responsibility while Lea was dodging him.

Lea put her hand on her forehead and closed her eyes. She said, "He proposed to me. What do you think is his plan with this child?"

Henry's delight was very apparent.

When it came to looks, social status, and family background, a lot of women were dying to have a baby with him.

At his age, he still had a lot of opportunities to play with women. However, he chose to marry her and become a father to their child.

It was the sincerest thing Henry had ever done.

But the problem was Lea. She couldn't find the willingness in her heart to marry him.

As a matter of fact, she was more yearning for freedom than being with Henry.

She was born to be free. She didn't want to be confined to a family or children.

That was one of the reasons why she had chosen to become a stewardess. She wanted to fly around the world.

She came from a well- off family, but she preferred to run around.

Breaking her wings to become a housewife and take care of babies was not suitable for her.

She might enjoy this kind of life for the time being, but if it would occupy her entire life, she wasn't sure if she could handle it.

This was some kind of a realistic problem. Lea clutched the fabric of the sofa and said in a somewhat annoyed tone, "Tell me, is it true that women get annoyed with their husbands after they give birth?"

Women usually tended to disregard something important in front of them.

But they kept on fantasizing so many things in their minds.

"What should I do?" she asked confusedly. Unfortunately, Rachel didn't know what to say either. She had no experience with this kind of situation.

Feeling very annoyed, Lea took a pillow and

buried her face in it. "What if I accept Henry, but after giving birth, I get annoyed with him? Then we will break up.

What will happen to the baby then?"

There was a life in her belly. She couldn't just abandon it.

What if she fought with Henry? How could she take care of the baby alone?

How could she raise the baby by herself?

No! Absolutely no! She didn't want to! It seemed to be more horrible than a nightmare.

She would rather die than spend the rest of her life in a mess.

Rachel couldn't do anything but listened to Lea pour out her worries, annoyance, and helplessness.

Lea told Henry that she would consider his proposal. But as she thought about it the whole night, there were a lot of questions in her mind.

She had a lot of inhibitions that really frightened her.

Although nothing had happened yet, she was scared that her thoughts would come true one day.

She might sound exaggerated, but anything could possibly happen.

Freedom was what she wanted, but it was also difficult to compromise.

After all, to keep a baby or to have an abortion was a big decision.

There was a life involved. She wanted to make a careful decision because she didn't want to regret it for the rest of her life.

Lea suddenly felt like a free bird being trapped in a cage.

She was fluttering, and she couldn't keep calm.

Freedom had already given her so much fun. She couldn't bear being forced to give it up.

This time, Lea couldn't help blaming herself. It was all her fault. If she had been more careful, she wouldn't accidentally get pregnant.

Now, she needed to be responsible for herself.

Her mind was in a total mess. She didn't have the heart to abort the baby, but she also didn't want to give birth to it. Moreover, she didn't want to marry Henry. She was thinking about whether they would stay together for a long time or they would break up very soon.

If Lea's father was here, he would have hit her hard on the head and scolded, "Bastard! How can you be so irresponsible?"

Lea put down the pillow, took a deep breath, and said, "Rachel, you should take my situation as a lesson. You have to be very careful. If you get pregnant..."

But before she could finish her words, Rachel interrupted, "Don't worry, it won't happen to me."

Lea suddenly remembered something. She tilted her head to look at Rachel, and said, "Oh yeah, your marriage with Jack hasn't expired yet."

If Jack was here, he would surely be furious.

His wife's best friend was cursing their marriage.

Meanwhile, in Jack's office, he had already sneezed twice. He couldn't understand why. With watery eyes, he took a tissue to wipe his nose. He then muttered to himself, "Who the hell is cursing me behind my back?"

Lea had actually no intention of letting Rachel solve her problem.

She only wanted to vent her frustrations. There was no one else in this world that she would talk about it.

Besides, there was no one in Ninwell City that she trusted except Rachel. She knew that Rachel was dependable.

If Lea's family knew her situation, they would be shocked. Her father would definitely decide for her without asking for her opinion. There could only be two choices that her father could give: get an abortion or marry Henry.

This was reason why she didn't want to tell her family, especially her father.

But what about Henry?

What if she told Henry about her worries?

No matter how anxious she was, he would definitely do his best to comfort and coax her.

Henry would never give her a chance to have apprehensions.

Lea knew clearly that she might give in if Henry tried to persuade him.

However, she still couldn't help thinking that everything would just be temporary. One day, Henry would get tired of comforting her and caring for her.

It was the truth that Lea wouldn't want to happen, so she was trying to avoid it in advance.

Rachel's head was also in a mess. After hearing so many things from Lea, she didn't know what kind of advice she would give to her.
