My Darling, My Dearest

Chapter 460 Echo Each Other

Lea realized that her words were too impolite, so she apologized and asked casually, "By the way, when is your wedding?"

"Next Saturday." Anna lowered her head and took out two invitation cards from her bag. She handed the cards to each of them and said, "We haven't seen each other for a long time. I want to catch up with you both, so I hope you can attend my wedding party."

Lea took the invitation card and said, "Thanks for the invitation. We'll be there if we are free."

"You two can take your husbands with you. I want my wedding to be as lively as possible." Anna then looked across the road and waved goodbye to them. "I have to go now. I'll expect you at my wedding."

Rachel and Lea watched Anna get in her car and drive away. Lea laughed in embarrassment while opening the invitation card in her hands. She found out that the guest's name on it was blank.

Obviously, they were not included in Anna's initial guest list. Perhaps she was only obliged to invite them because she saw them accidentally.

Lea shrugged her shoulders. "I was too impolite in front of Anna just now, so I was too embarrassed to refuse her. I think we should really go."

Rachel shook her head helplessly. "How much are you going to give her? Let's just tell the driver to send our red envelopes on our behalf."

"That's also a good idea." Rachel's words made Lea realized why Anna invited them.

Aside from the relatives on both sides, Anna and her fiance might have invited some classmates, good friends, and people who had connections.

She even invited them, although it was their first time to meet again after so many years. Initially, they were not included in her guest list. So Lea couldn't help doubting that Anna's main goal was to collect more red envelopes.

After all, it was very common nowadays for some people to make a fortune out of weddings. No one could blame Lea for thinking so.

It was already dark when Rachel arrived home. She put the shopping bags on the sofa, threw the invitation card on the center table, and went upstairs to change her clothes. Jonathan and Tracy happened to go to the living room and saw it. They picked it up and took a look. Seeing that the guest's name was blank, they frowned. Rachel was coming downstairs, so they asked in unison, "Who will attend the wedding party?"

"It's me. A classmate in junior high school invited me," Rachel replied with a faint smile.

With a trace of confusion in her eyes, Tracy asked, "Then why didn't your friend write your name in here?"

Rachel didn't know how to explain the coincidence that happened in the mall earlier, so she just smiled.

Tracy looked at the invitation card in her hand again. She then moved a little closer to Rachel and asked, "Are you going to the party?"

Rachel was stunned. It took her a while to answer, "I don't think so. After all, we're not close friends. We haven't even contacted each other since we graduated from junior high school. I think it's a bit embarrassing to go there."

Tracy was silent for a moment. She then held Rachel's hand and said gently, "Rachel, this kind of party is good for you to catch up with your friends. In my opinion, you should go.

Don't spend all your time in the hospital. You should go out more often and have fun with your friends." "Well..." Sweat trickled down Rachel's forehead. Tracy had never cared about her so much in the past. Now that she was suddenly telling her to attend a wedding, she felt a little surprised.

She was rendered speechless. After a while, she said in a low voice, "I'll check if I have time then." "Okay. But I hope that you'll really go." Tracy sighed.

Actually, the reason why she wanted to convince Rachel to go was the note that she saw on the invitation card. It stated that the invited guest should bring a companion.

She was expecting that Rachel would bring Jack with her. Attending a wedding party was one of the best ways for a couple who were at odds to quickly reconcile.

After all, this kind of occasion was full of love, sweetness, and happiness. It was also a place to remind them of their own good memories.

"What's going on here?" A lazy male voice was suddenly heard from behind.

Rachel subconsciously turned and looked at the door.

Jack casually pulled off his necktie. With a grin, he walked over to them and asked, "Mom, what were you talking about just now?"

He sat down beside Rachel.

This time, Rachel was sitting between Tracy and Jack and had no place to move at all. When Jack leaned over to her, she could feel his breath on her head, and it made her feel a little hot all over.

Seeing their intimacy, Tracy couldn't help tugging the hem of Jonathan's shirt secretly for him to take a look.

She tried to suppress her smile as she pointed at the invitation card on the table and said, "Rachel will attend her classmate's wedding next week. Do you have time to accompany her?"

The expression on Rachel's face suddenly changed. She hadn't said anything yet, but Tracy thought that she had already decided to go. Moreover, Tracy was asking Jack to go with her.

She was about to say something when Jack suddenly said with a smile, "Yes. I have a lot of free time next week."

Rachel couldn't stand it anymore, so she said, "No, thanks. Mom, I'm not sure yet if I'll go or not. Besides, if I'll really go, Lea will be with me. There's no need to bother Jack to accompany me." Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

The smile on Tracy's face gradually faded away. She patted Rachel's shoulder and said, "If you go, you must let Jack accompany you. It's not safe for you to go alone, especially now that you are pregnant."

"Yes." Although Jack hadn't figured out yet what Tracy was up to, he still agreed. "When I'm with you, I can always protect you and our child."

Rachel pursed her lips and thought for a while. She then said. "There will definitely be a lot of people there. I think I'd better not go because—"

But before she could finish her words, Tracy interrupted her, "You'd better go. After all, your friend personally invited you. It would be too impolite if you don't go. You can't sit at home all the time. It will be helpful in your pregnancy if you go out and have fun more often."

Jack and Tracy echoed each other. Eventually, Rachel had no choice but to give in. "Alright. If I decide to go, I'll take Jack with me."

Tracy smiled happily upon hearing Rachel's final words. When the latter stood up and went to the bathroom, she moved closer to Jack and explained her purpose in a low voice.

Jack smiled. "Mom, it seems that the proverb 'Aged ginger is more pungent' is really true."

"Of course." Tracy deliberately raised her chin proudly.

Jonathan, who had been sitting there quietly, couldn't stand it anymore. Finally, he said, "Women are really the most vicious. They have so many unfathomable thoughts in their minds."

Tracy was speechless.

After a while, she grabbed the cushion behind her and threw it at Jonathan.

Kailey was in a bar with her friend. With a wine glass in her hand, she leaned against the bar counter and tossed her hair enchantingly. Her friend, who was standing beside her, pointed at a man in a suit at the corner. "He is the one managing Jack's yacht." "Okay. Thank you for the information." With a sneer, Kailey tapped the bar counter twice with her slender fingers and raised her chin to the bartender. "Margarita, please."

The bartender promptly made her order, slowly poured it into a glass, and handed it to her. Kailey stared at the glass in front of her. This time, she looked more charming.

She took a sip of the margarita and stood up. Pretending to be drunk, she staggered to the man in the corner that her friend pointed at her. When she was already near him, she waved her hand in the air, and the alcohol in her glass spilled on the man's suit.

Putting up a frightened expression, she quickly took out several pieces of tissue and wiped the man's suit. "I'm so sorry. I didn't mean it. Please take your suit off so I can have it dry-cleaned and return to you."

"It's okay. There's no need." The man pushed her aside coldly.

Kailey bit her lower lip and secretly pinched her thigh hard in the dim light. When she felt the pain, tears welled up in her eyes. She looked pitiful now. "But I stained your suit. I will feel guilty if you don't let me clean it for you."

Unfortunately, the man didn't seem to buy it. He frowned slightly, took off his suit jacket, and casually put it on the sofa. "It's just a coat. You don't really have to do this." Kailey didn't expect that her charm wouldn't work on this man. She thought for a while. When something came to her mind, she suddenly shouted, "My boyfriend broke up with me because I stained his suit. And now you're telling me that it's just nothing? Then why did he break up with me?"

Her voice was loud enough for other customers to hear even if the bar was too noisy.

Therefore, those who were drinking and chatting turned their heads and looked at them. They exchanged glances as if they were expecting to see a good show.

Embarrassment was written all over the man's face. He reached out and pulled Kailey's arm to let her sit down. He then pulled some pieces of tissue and handed them to her. "Don't cry. Calm down first, then let's talk about it."
