Stuck in you

Chapter 202 Thoughtlessness

Lea's father stared at Henry, knowing very well that there was some story behind the Qin family.

Saying nothing about it, he waved his hand. "Don't call me 'Dad' yet. What do you mean it's inconvenient to tell them right now? Is there something you have yet to tell me?"

It wasn't easy to dig out family secrets.

Plus, with Henry having such a prestigious family, he expected that he had yet to hear some of the skeletons in their closets.

The old man had watched too many TV dramas, that different scenarios ran through his mind. In fact, he even suspected that the Qin family had committed murder for their properties.

After all, they couldn't be that rich without doing anything.

If Henry knew what the old man was thinking, he would be greatly shocked.

Although his family held many secrets, they weren't as shameless as the old man thought they were.

However, there was a saying that skeletons should stay in the closet.

Henry didn't know what else to say. He was afraid that if let something slip out, the man in front of him would not agree to Lea marrying him.

Although a rich family could have a messy life, the Qin family definitely didn't have that much of a dark past.

He was actually afraid that Lea's family would have a wrong idea on what he stood for,

so he beat around the bush. However, it seemed to piss her father off even more.

Lea's father gritted his teeth.

He didn't care whether or not Lea had already accepted the man or not,

but there was no way in hell was he going to agree to a marriage wherein he had no idea of the man she was about to marry.

"Look, if you want to marry my daughter, you might as well start showing your sincerity," the man snapped. "Although your attitude has been nice, you should also know that a marriage is not just between two people.

My daughter will marry into your family. You and my daughter may be a match in terms of family background."

Henry's lips twitched at his words.

"And your family may be rich, but that doesn't mean it's wiped off complications.

They should come to show their sincerity. Speaking of, do they even know that you're planning on marrying Lea? Have they asked about her?"

Hearing this question, Henry flushed.

On second thought, maybe he was being to selfish. All this time, he had been think about having a baby with Lea and marrying her as soon as possible

that he didn't give her enough space to actually think about it.

The old man was right.

His family still had no idea of Lea's pregnancy, and he was already pushing for a wedding.

He had rushed too much into this.

Henry should've threaded cautiously when it came to the engagement. His first thought was that he could flatter her father,

and he could finally marry her.

What he didn't realize was the fact that Lea still hadn't met his family.

He had been so used to being free these past few years, that he hadn't really thought about the customs very well.

Henry lowered his head,

finally coming into his senses.

"Dad," he stated. "I have been inconsiderate. Please forgive me."

His introspection made the old man very satisfied. In fact, his whole apology was fine except for the fact that he kept calling him his dad.

"Although my daughter may not be the best, she still has plenty of pursuers," he emphasized the last part, seeing that they still had options.

Henry's face darkened, but he didn't care the slightest.

The old man continued, "Besides, I can take care of the baby if your family don't want it. I don't care about whether or not she'll bring me a son-in-law."

Henry gritted his teeth, but he still forced a smile.

"Dad, you're kidding, right? What should I do if you don't accept me as your son-in-law?"

Lea's father snorted. "To hell if I care what happens to you, boy."

Mosa City was an extremely romantic place. As the couple wandered around hand-in-hand, the anger in Rachel's heart finally faded away. In fact, she couldn't help but be amused at being teased by Jack.

She shook her head as a smile played on her lips.

After wandering around for a while, they finally came across a busy street.

She couldn't help but recall that he had just scared her on purpose just now, and even now, she couldn't help but feel a chill running down her spine.

The temple fair was a big deal around here, so the streets were bustling with people. In fact, there were a lot of stalls at either side of the road. There were children crouched on the roadside with their fishnets in their hands.

As they talked, Jack held Rachel's hand.

Pausing, she decided to follow him.

"Jack," she said hesitantly.

"What?"

"Why did you scare me all of a sudden?"

He scratched the back of his neck guiltily.

"Hey, say something," she pushed, not planning to let it go that easily. "Were you crazy or something?"

Jack gazed at her innocently. "I just wanted to do it?" It sounded more like a question than a statement.

'He just wanted to do it?'

The answer made her want to kick him again, but she restrained herself.

"Rachel."

She gritted her teeth. "What?" 'Does he want to scare me again?'

"I know I was wrong.

Please don't be angry at me,

will you?"

Rachel pretended not to hear him.

Instead, she turned and pointed at a small stall selling handmade perfumed medicine bags. "Look!" she said excitedly.

Dissatisfied with her answer, he pinched her hand gently, but she still didn't respond.

She bowed her head to see what the stall held.

"Are you looking for something, lovely?" the middle-aged woman greeted them enthusiastically.

"Your bags are beautiful," Rachel complimented.

The seller quickly introduced them the bags.

To Rachel's surprise,

the fragrance was amazing.

She had just wanted to take a closer look, but after seeing the old lady's enthusiasm, she decided to pick some out for herself .

In the end, she picked out two small bags—one blue and the other red. "Why did you buy them?" Jack asked.

Rachel shrugged. "Put it in our closet, okay?"

He nodded and smiled, although he couldn't care the slightest about the bags. Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

As the two walked along the road, they felt their stomachs growl. Seeing as they didn't get anything to eat, Jack led her to anther stall.

They got a cup of ice cream and a cup of mung bean soup. "Don't eat too much," he warned. "We can always ask the hotel to send us some snacks later if you feel hungry."

Rachel lowered her head as she took a sip from the soup. It was sweet. She liked it.

She actually brought a drink a while ago, but she had no idea where it went.

"Any other midnight snacks here other than the ones the hotel offers?" she asked curiously.

"Not really. Since all the tourists flock around during the day, they don't really prepare anything for the night life," he explained.

All that was left for them was to walk around the town and admire the view.

Since the living conditions weren't as good, many people who came from the city didn't usually stay around for too long.

They seldom take a walk at night, since it offered nothing interesting.

Besides, there were also other restaurants that required appointments.

Otherwise, they'd already be closed by 9 P.M.

"Tonight, we can eat something from the hotel, okay?" Jack smiled. "We can go to the center of the resort tomorrow."

"Wait, so you're saying we're not there yet?"

"We haven't reached the center yet."

Since the resort was large, it was divided into several sectors. The area they were in was not the center.

Hearing what he had said, she couldn't help but be interested.

While Jack explained the scale of the resort, she nodded as she tried to suck in that much information.

She found it very clever, and Jack continued. It was rare for him to see her charming eyes glinted like this.
