My Darling, My Dearest
Chapter 269 Went Back To Fu Family

There was a small bedroom in the yacht. Although it wasn't that big, at least the bed was comfortable to sleep.

Rachel was already yawning, so she immediately went to bed. Jack set the alarm clock first before he lay down beside her.

She was already half asleep when she heard the waves slowly hitting the yacht. Jack caressed her forehead and whispered in her ear,

"I only had one girlfriend. And I only have one wife who is you."

Holding back her laughter, she buried her head in his arms.

It was already five o'clock in the morning. The sea was calm, overcast with the bronze sky.

Almost all of the people in the yacht had gotten up.

A few moments later, they were all gathered on the deck.

At half past five, the sky became clearer as the sun was starting to rise from the east.

Johnny stepped on the railing and leaned forward to take a photo of the beautiful sunrise.

The sound of the waves was so soothing, and the chirps of birds reverberating in the whole island were music to the ears.

Everyone silently watched the sun slowly coming out through the clouds. They all gasped in astonishment at the sight of the beauty of nature, as they continuously took photos of it.

Jack was there too.

After taking many shots, he took a step back and examined the photos in his camera. Feeling satisfied with his photography skill, he walked up to Rachel to show them to her.

They stood behind everyone while she looked at the photos. When she was done, he turned the camera to them and wrapped his arm around her shoulder. Leaning against her shoulder, he said, "Say cheese!"

Her lips curved into a natural smile.

He pressed the shutter button, then checked their photo. Indeed, it was a lovely shot. They looked very intimate together, leaning against each other with the beautiful sunrise as their background.

Both of their eyes were smiling, reflecting their love for each other in that morning sunlight.

His arm was still wrapped around her shoulder while they checked the photos in his camera again.

Rachel wanted to take a more thorough look at the photos, so she took the camera from him as she said, "Let me have a look."

"Wait!" Jack took back the camera from her and added, "Let's take another photo."

She suddenly felt uneasy because she didn't know how to make a pose. 'Do I look okay?

What if I'll look ugly in the photo?

Maybe I should lower my head a little," she thought inwardly. Then she said, "Wait! Don't take yet."

"What's wrong?" he asked confusedly.

"My face is a little stiff." She raised her hand and rubbed her face, then put on a sweet smile. She fixed her pose, and when she was ready, she said, "I'm ready now." Her reaction amused him. All of a sudden, an idea crossed his mind.

He raised his camera again and put his hand around her shoulder just like earlier. He looked at the camera and said, "Ready. Three, two, one."

He suddenly lowered his head and pressed his lips against hers, then pressed the shutter button.

It was a beautiful sight under the sun shining with golden lights.

What they didn't know was, everyone had already turned at them and was watching them. The moment he kissed her, the crowd suddenly burst into whistles.

In the photo, half of Rachel's face was covered by Jack's back as he kissed her. But her bright eyes were captured by the camera.

Although her eyes were full of tenderness, it also reflected her feeling of surprise.

For her, she didn't look good in the photo because of her hair.

She thought she looked so funny in the photo.

On the other hand, Jack felt that this was the most satisfying photo he had ever taken. He even wanted to print it out and hang in their bedroom.

But Rachel firmly opposed his plan, so he didn't insist anymore.

However, a few days later, she was surprised to see the photo on their bedside table.

She wasn't working anymore, so she spent all of her time at home and visiting the Fu family to accompany Jonathan and Tracy.

Jonathan was the most delighted because he felt like they went back to the old times. Rachel went fishing, played chess, and did morning exercises with him every day.

But since she had been staying with the Fu family for a week now, Tracy started to feel worried, so she called Jack secretly.

"Did you and Rachel fight?"

Confusion was written all over his face. "No, we didn't. What's wrong?"

"But why are you not coming here? Rachel has been staying with us for a week now."

"I'm in London now."

"Oh. When are you coming back?"

Tracy had never cared about his trips like this before, so he felt a little nervous. He asked, "Is something wrong, Mom?"

"Nothing," Tracy replied with a frown. "I'm just worried that Rachel has been living a dull life with us here. She always spends time with your dad playing chess, going fishing, listening to old music, and having tea with a group of old men. She's becoming an elderly woman now."

All of a sudden, Jonathan's voice was heard behind her. "What's wrong with playing chess, listening to music, and drinking tea?"

Startled, she put down the phone

subconsciously. When she turned around,

Jonathan was already standing in front of her. She patted her chest and complained, "You scared me."

"What are you scared of?" he asked.

She gasped for air first before she answered, "Eh? Why did you suddenly speak behind me?"

From there, they started to argue again.

On the other side of the line, Jack hung up the phone immediately as soon as he heard Jonathan's voice.

He already knew what would happen next, so he decided to call Rachel instead. But he couldn't get through. After a while, he tried calling her again.

At that time, Rachel had just finished talking with Lea.

When she saw Jack's name on the screen, she picked it up and said jokingly, "What are you calling for?" "Duty check," he replied.

"Yes, sir. I will tell you everything I know," she responded playfully.

The full-length mirror in front of Jack reflected his tall figure and a happy smile on his face.

"Who were you talking with just now? I waited for so long."

"I was chatting with Lea."

Jack had originally wanted to tease her, but after knowing that it was her best friend, he didn't dare to say anything more.

"How is she? I haven't heard from her for a long time," he asked instead.

Rachel sounded unhappy in an instant. "She seems to have some conflicts with Henry's family."

To be exact, Lea was having some problems with Henry's grandmother.

Since the Qin family had some problems now, Henry took his household certificate secretly and registered their marriage without informing his elders.

His parents had known about it, but his grandmother didn't.

And since Lea was greatly moved by his sudden proposal,

she didn't bother to meet Henry's family formally.

The moment she heard him say "Let's get married," she immediately got excited and took her household certificate as well to register their marriage. Such a silly girl! Even her own family didn't know about her marriage either.

It was only when they got their marriage

certificates that everything sank in to her.

One morning when she woke up, she realized that they did something wrong.

Now, she didn't know how to face even her own family. It was a disrespect to both of their families that they registered their marriage

without informing them.

Even her father would definitely get mad once he found out.

She was so anxious thinking about it, but she didn't dare to tell Henry. But he noticed the

sadness in her eyes, so he did his best to coax her.

Finally, he found out what was bothering her. He hugged and kissed her, and sweetly swore that he would take all the responsibilities.

He had proven the fact that women's IQ really declined when they were in love. Lea just

believed in him without thinking of the possible consequences.

It was only right now that she was racking her brains to replace a way for her father to accept their marriage. But before she could think of any solution, Henry received an urgent call from his parents. Then the next day, an aged woman arrived at their doorstep. She introduced herself as Henry's grandmother, and she was there to talk with Lea. Henry was currently at his parents' home.

She didn't give Lea a cold shoulder, but she didn't have a friendly attitude either. She said that her purpose in coming over was to see how they were doing. Fortunately, it was only a short visit. After sending her off, Lea immediately felt an unspeakable sorrow in her heart.

Based on her words, she could tell that Henry's grandmother had no idea about their relationship.

She was even surprised to know that they had already gotten married and that she was pregnant.

To feel a little better, she decided to call Henry to tell him about his grandmother's visit.

He said that the Qin family was still having some issues. His aunt's problem hadn't been solved yet.

From the tone of her voice, he could tell that she was really anxious, so he comforted her and booked the earliest flight back home.

But Lea's father had already found out too. When Henry entered their house, the atmosphere inside felt weird.

He was surprised to see Lea's father and two brothers sitting on the sofa.

Lea was seated in an armchair too. His gaze turned to her, and she gave him a desperate look.

He hung his coat and greeted them, "Hi, Dad. Hi, guys."

The way he called Lea's father "Dad" sounded so casual, but the look on everyone's face didn't look good at all.
