Chapter 481 Mysterious

Knowing that there was nothing wrong with her, Jack felt relieved. He went back to bed, picked up the
book and turned several pages. Then he looked at the time. It had been almost half an hour, but there
was still no movement in the bathroom.

Jack couldn't lie on the bed any longer, so he lifted the quilt and got up again. But Rachel still
answered, "Almost done."

This time, he no longer believed her words. He reached out and directly opened the door of the
bathroom. All of a sudden, a screaming came from the bathroom. Rachel turned around in a hurry and
put down her pajamas which had been lifted up.

She asked with fear, "Why did you open the door and come in without saying something?"

"I want to see what you are doing." Jack frowned and walked up to her. He looked her up and down
and said, "You always said that you're almost done. What are you busy with?"

The corners of Rachel's mouth twitched. "Nothing."

After saying that, she turned around and walked into the bedroom, leaving Jack alone in the bathroom.
He muttered a few words in a low voice, looked at her up and down, and asked curiously, "You just
locked yourself in the bathroom. What on earth are you doing?"

At first, Rachel replied, "I was taking a shower."

After she answered for nearly five times, seeing that Jack opened his mouth and was about to ask
again, she simply covered herself with the quilt and said, "Can you stop asking me? I'm going to bed
now. Keep silent."

Hearing this, Jack immediately closed his mouth tightly.



In the morning of the second day, Jack turned over and stretched out his hand subconsciously to look
for Rachel. But he failed and immediately opened his eyes.

She found that the other side of the bed was empty and she couldn't see Rachel anymore.

He immediately shouted, "Rachel?"

After a while, her voice came from the bathroom. "I have something to do in the bathroom."

"What's the matter?" Jack asked again, grabbed a coat and put it on his shoulder. He went to the
bathroom door and opened it, only to find that the door was locked from inside.

He frowned and asked, "Rachel, what are you doing? Why are you so mysterious?"

"It's almost done. Don't ask me." Jack was rendered speechless by her retort.

In the office, Henry grabbed some tea leaves from the can and threw them into the teacup. He smiled
and said, "Jack, I'm here to talk about cooperation with you. But you don't even pour me a cup of water
now. It seems that the hospitality of your MK Group needs to be improved."

After saying that, Henry looked up at Jack, who frowned slightly without any reaction.

He let out a strange sound and didn't hurry to pour tea. He put down the thermos bottle, walked to the
desk, and waved his hand in front of Jack. "You are abnormal today!"

"What's wrong?" It was not until then that Jack came to his senses. He looked up at Henry and asked,
"What did you say just now?"

Henry picked up a toy on the table and played it casually. "What were you thinking about just now? You
have been out of your mind since I came here."



Jack shook his head and didn't say anything. He opened the documents on the table and changed the
topic directly, "What do you think of the cooperation this time? Is it the beginning of the next quarter?"

"Didn't I just say that one month ahead of the deadline?" Henry put down the things in his hands,
returned to the sofa, picked up the tea cup and took a sip. "Didn't you hear a word of what I said just
now?"

Jack scratched between his eyebrows and smiled bitterly. He put his sarcasm behind his head, and
then concentrated on his work.

The two of them talked for nearly an hour.

At the same time, Michael, who had gone out to deal with something, pushed the door open and came
in. "You haven't finished talking yet? You are so slow."

Henry closed the signed document and said slowly, "We just finished talking. Where have you been?
You're out of breath."

"Well, forget it." With a wave of his hand in the air, Michael said helplessly, "A few days ago, I just
contacted a junior high school classmate. The two of them usually watch basketball matches together,
and they have a good conversation."

"Yes, you mentioned it before." Jack encouraged him to go on.

Michael took the cup from Henry's hand and drank up the tea.

Henry was speechless, "The thermos bottle is on the side. Can't you pour yourself a cup?"

"It's too hot. Your clothes are cold. It's more convenient." Giving the empty glass back to him, Michael
continued, "A phone call just now asked me to go out. Think about it. A 1.8 meter tall young man was
crying. I couldn't bear to see it."



"You didn't see him. He..." As he spoke, Michael started to imitate him exaggeratedly.

Jack twitched the corners of his mouth, bent his finger and knocked two times on the table, directly
interrupting him, "Why did he cry?"

Realizing that he had escaped from the topic, Michael scratched the back of his head awkwardly. "His
wife has been locked in the bathroom alone for a long time. She told me if she was taking a shower or
going to the bathroom. As a result, guess what she was doing inside."

Hearing this, Jack's heart suddenly jolted. How could this situation be so similar to that of Rachel?

She locked herself in the bathroom and refused to come out. If he asked a few more questions, she
would lose her temper.

Henry, who was aside asked, "So, what did she do? Just say it and don't be mysterious on purpose. If
you don't want to say it, then forget it and we don't want to hear the story."

"Well, that's what you said. Then I stop." Said Michael intentionally, crossing his arms over his chest
and shaking his legs.

At first, he was waiting for Henry to ask him to continue, but unexpectedly, Jack, who had always been
called as two deaf ears to outside the window, pushed him and said, "Say it quickly."

Michael frowned, "Why are you so curious? You don't even bother to hear a word about these as
usual."

Jack looked a little awkward and could only shout in a low voice, "Finish it quickly."

"Okay, I'll tell you right away." Giving in to Jack's roar, Michael had to continue to say honestly, "You
certainly didn't expect that her wife was chatting with her lover in the bathroom. When she made a



phone call, she covered their voices with the sound of water directly. She could have a justified reason
to lose such a long time in front of her husband. It's really hard to find such an affair now."

After finishing, Michael was signed. On the other side, Jack was too shocked to say a word.

'Contact her lover?

What about Rachel? Am I going to be dumped?'

That night, after entering the bathroom, [傅靳南] quietly walked to the door, and then leaned against the
glass door, listening to the sound inside hard.

'Why is there no sound inside?

It's impossible. If she is calling someone or doing something, there should be a sound.'

He didn't realize that he was getting more and more forceful and pressed himself against the door.

All of a sudden, the glass door was opened. Jack staggered and almost fell to the ground because he
had been half tilted all the time.

When he finally stood up straight, he saw that Rachel was standing in front of him. She looked at him in
surprise and asked, "What are you doing?"

"I... I'm waiting to go to the bathroom, so I come here to see if you're ready. I..." Jack felt a little guilty
and came up with an excuse.

But it was not until he stammered that he realized how lame this reason was.

This had happened before and he went to the bathroom in the guest room directly, not like today.



Looking at the inquisitive eyes of Rachel, Jack slowly lowered his head, looking like a child who had
done something wrong and was waiting for the punishment from the teacher and parents.

The corners of Rachel's mouth twitched helplessly. When she was about to say something, Jack
suddenly raised his head and said, "What are you doing in the bathroom these days?"

"Nothing." With an evasive attitude, Rachel quickly walked out of his side and hid herself in the
bedroom.

Jack stood alone in the bathroom with a sad face. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that
he was likely to be abandoned.

At that time, Jack would stood alone on the road in the cold wind, only to see Rachel walking towards
with another man hand in hand...

Jack shook his head immediately and stopped thinking in mess. He rushed into the bedroom and
asked her again.

Seeing that he was so reluctant to leave, Rachel had no choice but to sit up again. She lifted her
clothes and exposed her pregnant belly, "Look at me."

"What?" Jack stepped forward and gently put his hand on her belly. He misunderstood her meaning
and asked, "Is the baby moving now?"

"No," Rachel shook off his hand and pointed at the pregnancy marks on her belly, "Have you seen my
belly? It's cracked. I've been applying ointment in the bathroom these days. I want to see if it can fade
away."

"Then why don't you tell me directly?" Jack asked.



Lowering her head, Rachel said in a low voice, "I feel so ugly when I look at it myself. I don't want you
to see it... I'm afraid you would dislike me..."

'Dislike?'

The stone that had been piled up in Jack's heart for the past few days finally fell to the ground. He
grabbed Rachel's hands and laughed so hard that his whole body trembled, which made her confused.
She looked at him worriedly and asked uncertainly, "Are you all right?"
