Chapter 479 True Love In Crisis
Chapter 479 True Love In Crisis
"I asked them to go back first. I'm not a three-year old child. Do I need them to stay at home with me?" Taking over Jack's coat, Rachel asked slowly, "How is everything going with the police?"
"Nothing."
Since this incident, this word had almost become Jack's pet phrase.
At first, Rachel chose to believe him, but now, she knew that this word had become the opposite.
She said, "Jack, tell me the truth."
With a serious look on her face, Jack had to truthfully tell him what had happened in the police station. He said gently, "Rachel, I just don't want you to worry about me. There is no other reason."
"But we are a couple. We should share all the good and bad things, shouldn't we?" Pursing her lips, Rachel said seriously, "If you make me look like a fool and know nothing, then what am I to you as your wife? I don't want that kind of marriage that two people would separate in the face of a disaster."
Her calm tone made these words meaningful.
Jack hugged Rachel tightly, feeling warm in his heart. Tears of happiness spilled over his eyes. "Rachel, it's the luckiest thing in my life to have you by my side."
Rachel had thought that there would finally be a turning point for this matter, but now it suddenly fell into a predicament, and Rachel's mood was inevitably affected.
What's more, the baby in her belly had grown up rapidly these days. She felt that her body was getting lazier and lazier, and she seemed to be unable to lift her spirit no matter what she did.
After dinner, she didn't want to take a walk. She just wanted to sit on the sofa.
Jack came out of the bathroom and saw her sitting on the sofa again in a spoiled look. He shook his head helplessly and said, "Rachel, didn't the doctor say that you should take more walk? Get up. Let's hang around outside for a while."
"I don't want to go. I don't want to move." Rachel replied lazily.
Jack put the remote control aside, and then held her hand, "No, let's go out for two steps. If you are tired and can't walk, I'll hold you back."
Since he had said that, Rachel couldn't continue to be lazy.
Usually, the two of them would walk back and forth on the outside road for two circles. Today, as soon as Rachel went out, she could not refute, "I only walk one round tonight. I really don't want to go. If you are also carrying such a heavy baby, you definitely don't want to go either."
"Okay, okay." As long as she was willing to go, Jack was quite satisfied and it was the same for him since Rachel was willing to go out.
The two walked hand in hand on the path. The setting sun cast on them, pulling their shadows long.
At this time, Jack's phone suddenly rang.
In the past two days, as long as Rachel heard the phone ring, she suddenly felt nervous. She turned her head and saw that Jack picking up the phone. She only heard that he hummed a few times and then ended the phone.
Jack put the phone into his pocket and saw that Rachel was looking at him with concern. He couldn't help smiling and said, "It's from Austin. Nothing serious."
As soon as he finished his words, he realized that Rachel was very sensitive to the words "Nothing". Then he immediately explained, "It's just that we will hold a press conference tomorrow to clarify this
matter in detail, so that those contractors won't ask for termination one after another."
He looked into the distance and said in a tired voice, "After all, even if I really don't work in this position, at least the company still exists, and the future cooperation are also needed."
As soon as he finished his words, Rachel spit three times in a row. Then she let go of Jack's hand, walked to the side, patted the tree on the roadside, and muttered, "You couldn't say those unlucky words."
Looking at her series of actions, Jack was confused. "What are you doing, Rachel?"
"I patted the wood to get rid of unlucky things." Patting the tree crumbs on her hands, Rachel said, "You will definitely continue to run the MK Group, so I don't allow you to say such silly words."
Jack rubbed her nose affectionately and called her name gently, with mixed feelings in his heart.
There was no mistake in saying that you will see true love in crisis.
After walking along the path for a while, Jack thought that Rachel might be able to walk one more circle since she had moved. But to his surprise, she went straight to the door and didn't even take one more step.
Seeing her shaking her head like a child and refusing, Jack was at a loss whether to cry or to laugh, but he still nodded dotingly, "Okay, it's over today."
"Okay." Rachel answered loudly.
Looking at the two of them, Julie turned her head slightly and stretched out her hand to wipe the tears from the corner of her eyes.
It was not easy for the two of them to get back together. They were about to welcome a family of three, but they didn't expect that such a thing would happen. It was really unpredictable.
She took a deep breath for a long time before she calmed down and handed a cup of warm water which had been cold for a while to her. "Miss Rachel, drink some water and replenish yourself."
Taking the cup, Rachel handed it to Jack first. Seeing that he shook his head, she put it to her mouth.
Seeing her childish behavior, Jack could only smile, "Rachel, why do you go back more and more?"
"What go back?" Rachel blinked her eyes and pretended to be confused.
"Of course you're getting more and more like a child." Jack said gently. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
With a smile at the corners of her mouth, Rachel focused on drinking the water in her glass and didn't answer.
During this period of time, she tried her best to show her positive and happy side. She said something that she had never said before, and did something extremely childish in her eyes. All her only purpose was to make Jack relaxed, to divert his attention, and to stop thinking about these things.
The press conference was set on Wednesday.
When Jack went out, Rachel was a little worried, but she still raised the corners of her mouth slightly. She stood on tiptoe to help him straighten his tie. "Drive slowly on the road. Call me then."
"Okay." Jack lowered his head and kissed her forehead before he got on the car and drove to the reception.
The press conference was arranged in a conference room of a hotel, which covered an area of about more than 30 square meters. As soon as Jack sat down, a reporter immediately shouted, "Mr. Jack, I
heard that you will be dismissed by the company, is it true?"
Austin frowned and was about to say something to stop her, but was stopped by Jack, who reached out his hand and gave a hint.
Jack's deep voice clearly reached everyone's ears through the sound, "It's temporarily."
"But now, your reputation is not good. Aren't you afraid that both your company and family will be in crisis?" A reporter in the corner suddenly asked sharply, which made the atmosphere suddenly chaotic.
Austin picked up the microphone and said, "Please be quiet."
He said it several times in a row, but the reporters seemed not to hear him and continued to discuss what had happened recently.
Their words were full of insult and sarcasm.
Seeing that the situation was out of control, Austin turned to look at Jack for help.
Jack frowned and was about to speak with the microphone when a familiar voice suddenly came into the air and clearly reached everyone's ears through the live sound.
"He is my husband. I believe that he won't do those things. I believe in his moral quality and ability. I believe that he will never put the MK Group in a bad situation." With a microphone in her hand, Rachel walked in step by step from the entrance of the hotel.
Jack opened his eyes wide and couldn't believe what he had heard. He was moved, excited and almost joyful. He slowly walked up to Rachel and asked in a low voice, "Why are you here?"
Looking at his slightly red eyes, Rachel winked at him playfully and said, "Because I'm your wife. How can I be absent at such an important time?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the voice of Michael came, "And us."
The three of them stood in a row and walked over in neat steps. Standing in the middle, Marcus reached out for the microphone and said in a deep voice, "We have been friends with Jack for so many years. We know him best. In the future, we will reserve the right to investigate any rumor about it."
"Yes!" Said Michael.
Jack, who had always been introverted, inadvertently burst into tears when he saw them face the reporters' questions forcefully.
This made him realize that it's worthy to have the one he loved and friends around him.
He held Rachel's hand tightly with one hand and patted the arms of the three of them with the other. He said solemnly, "Buddies, thank you!"
"You don't have to thank me. You must pay me back in the future."
They were moved for only three seconds, and the atmosphere between them instantly relaxed a lot because of Michael's joke.
Then, no matter how sharp the questions were, the atmosphere became less awkward. It was not for anything else, but because of the support of love and friendship, Jack was full of confidence.
After staying at the scene for nearly half an hour, Michael rubbed his stomach and said, "When I came here just now, I didn't even have lunch. I'm starving to death now. Will you treat me later?"
