Chapter 210 Watched A Comedy Movie

Jack felt confused by Rachel's rejection. He lifted the quilt, got up and held her firmly. He looked at her
with a wide flattering smile. "Honey, stop it!"

He dragged her back to the bed and rolled over on top of her again. She felt that he wouldn't give up,
so she pushed him angrily.

"Jack!" she exclaimed in an angry voice. "I said I don't want to. Can you stop forcing me?"

When he noticed that she was a little angry, Jack's eyes immediately sank. He gently caressed her
frowning eyebrows with his fingers and said to her gently, "What's wrong? Are you mad at me?"

Rachel didn't know what was wrong with herself. She suddenly felt wronged, so she pushed him away.
She turned over and sat up at the edge of the bed, her eyes red.

Jack felt startled. He wanted to calm her down, but he didn't dared to touch her. He carefully reflected
on what he could've possible done that made her feel this way.

After thinking for some time, he could only think that he displeased her because he insisted on having
sex with her.

All he could do was coax her. "Honey, please don't be angry. I did not mean to force you." He wetted
his lips with his tongue and then reached out his arms to embrace her. "You know I would never do
that.

Don't be angry anymore, okay? And don't cry."

Rachel did not know how to explain it to him. Her mood changed so fast. She took a deep breath,
pursed her lips and stared briefly at the ceiling. After the inexplicable sadness passed, she felt a little
ashamed of herself.



She closed her eyes hard until her mood eased. "I'm just in a bad mood. I didn't mean to lose my
temper," she whispered gently to him.

Jack kissed her between her eyebrows and smiled at her. "You don't have to explain anything to me.
It's my fault. If you're unhappy about anything, you can throw all of your frustrations at me."

There was no need to apologize to him for anything. Marriage was about consideration. He felt bad that
Rachel thought that she had to apologize.

She nodded gently at him and fully understood what he meant. So, she let him hold her in his arms and
sat on the bed with him.

"What's wrong? You look so upset."

"I don't know." Rachel felt irritated about something but she didn't know what it was. She felt reluctant
to do anything with Jack and she didn't know why. She just wanted to lie down in the bed alone and
stare blankly at the ceiling.

But she felt that it would be too much to push him away a third time. There was a sting in her heart
when the thought of it struck her.

During regular days, there was no way that she would behave this way. If she was feeling off, she'd
normally just wear a long face and then ignore him. But at that moment, she felt depressed and
everything just felt intolerable to her.

"Maybe my period is coming," Rachel said in a soft voice. She wondered if it was truly the case.

"Your period?" Jack asked with a raised eyebrow. He had no idea what she was talking about. After
seeing the embarrassed look on her face, he finally understood what she meant by those words.



He tapped his nose as a reaction to his understanding of how emotionally unstable women could be
when they approached their periods.

Jack then felt the need to consider what to do next in that kind of situation.

"Would you like to have a cup of red date tea?" he immediately asked when he had recovered.

Rachel was surprised with his offer and felt like laughing. "But we don't have red dates at home," she
complained with a slight smile.

Jack briefly glanced at his watch. "Well, it doesn't matter. We can have someone send some here,"
Jack replied.

"But it's already so late. It would be inconsiderate of us to do so," she explained.

"Then I'll buy some myself!" he declared immediately. He got up as soon as he finished speaking and
started to change his clothes. "You don't have to do that. I'm just in a bad mood. My period is not
coming now," Rachel immediately said.

Jack turned around to her immediately with a serious look on his face. "But how do I make you feel
better?" he asked.

His actions made Rachel feel warm in her heart. "It's okay. I feel better now," she explained.

He raised an eyebrow at her and then smiled. "So, it seems that as long as I don't provoke you, you'll
feel better," he joked.

"Yes, I think you're right." Rachel agreed to his idea immediately.

"You're kidding!"



They talked for a while and the longer they talked, the more Jack understood her feelings. He
eventually went out to make her a glass of warm milk and then fetched her laptop.

Jack pushed Rachel back to the bed when he got back and handed her the milk.

He then placed a small desk on the bed and placed the laptop on it.

Rachel looked puzzled as she watched him. "What are you doing?" she asked him in a puzzled tone of
voice.

'Does he plan to work at this time?' she wondered.

Jack turned the laptop on and then opened a browser. "Let's watch something."

The first thought that Rachel had in mind was that Jack would open a website like Pornhub, but she
immediately reconsidered and concluded that it would be impossible for Jack to do that.

He quickly moved his fingers on the mouse pad and tapped the keyboard a few times. Finally, he found
a foreign comedy movie and played it. "I've seen this movie before. It's not bad."

They watched the movie that he selected for them. Rachel watched with the glass of milk on her hand.
She liked the thought of getting served by him. It made her feel like a queen.

She played with the warm glass of milk with her fingers and thought about it a lot. She then turned to
the person who sat beside her and then smiled.

The movie was indeed funny. Rachel began to laugh when it was barely ten minutes into the movie.
She laughed so hard that she was not able to drink her milk at all.

Jacked sighed in relief when he started to hear her laugh at the movie. Seeing her in tears really made
quite an impact on him.



During the day of memorializing the death of Rachel's parents, he was with her as she cried hard for
them. And he never saw her cry again since that day.

So, when he saw her eyes turn red earlier and look tearful, he instantly thought that he had done
something that had hurt her. And if he did, he wouldn't be able to forgive himself easily for it.

Rachel felt better after they watched the movie. She rubbed her belly contentedly. It felt numb from
laughing too much. "I never expected that you'd watch movies like this," she commented with a smile.

Her tone suggested that she felt like she discovered a new facet of Jack's personality.

"Why? Is it so strange for me to watch a ridiculous comedy movie?"

Rachel smiled yet shook her head. "No. I suppose it's not so strange at all," she replied after
considering it. But she looked so serious that Jack didn't believe her reply.

The glass of milk had already cooled while they watched the movie. And they continued to talk after the
movie. When they finally decided to sleep, Rachel asked Jack about his stomach. "How's your stomach
now?"

Jack felt his stomach with his hand while under the quilt. It had started to feel better for some time
already, but he didn't want to admit it.

He wanted to take advantage of it to draw Rachel's attention.

"It's okay, now," he replied casually.

But he didn't specify if it was fully recovered or not.

And Rachel did not understand if it was.



She thought about it for a while and realized that she'd been very specific about his diet. He should
have been able to recover a lot already if he hadn't secretly eaten spicy and greasy food and drunk
alcohol behind her back.

"Are you free tomorrow or the day after tomorrow?" she asked.

"Why? What are you planning?"

"We need to visit the hospital for a reexamination. You should be feeling much better."

"Yes, I feel better now. My stomach feels comfortable," he replied to her immediately.

Rachel nodded at him.

"But the stomach problem will need some time to fully recover from," he added.

"Yes. You are right."

"So, we don't really have to go to a reexamination immediately. It might even come back again if we
don't pay attention to it."

"Well, if you pay more attention to it, then it won't come back." Rachel glared at him.

"I think I have to be supervised by someone," Jack said shamelessly. He then looked at her with a
childlike smile. "You should keep an eye on me."

"This is your own health. You should be able to keep an eye on yourself," Rachel said as she rubbed
her forehead.

"I know." Jack cleared his throat and pretended to look down at the curtain. "But I want you to keep an
eye on me in person."



Rachel turned around and stared at him in disbelief. She almost doubted what she heard him say just
now.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" he asked with a smile.

"Nothing." Rachel could not understand him.

"I want to go back to work, Jack," Rachel said finally after thinking for a while.

"Then go back to work. You don't have to tell me," Jack replied.

She didn't know how to reply back at him.

She remembered that she was just on vacation, not resigned from her position at the hospital.
However, since she had not gone to work for a long time, it made her mind think that she had already
resigned.

This line of conversation reminded Jack of something else.

Before they went to bed, Rachel heard him say to her, "A friend's birthday is coming up. I want us to be
there together."

Rachel agreed. Then she yawned widely afterwards.

Jack laughed loudly when he saw her. "You've been sleeping a lot lately," he commented.

His words got to Rachel like a basin of cold water on her face. It sobered her up right away. Her mind
suddenly wandered to that possibility and she immediately felt perplexed about the
thought.
