Chapter 209: Everything
Rachel was too stunned to react. Without waiting for her answer, Victor said, “Have a good day.” Then, he turned around and left. The maid was shocked by Victor’s declaration.
“Miss Bennet, did Mr. Sullivan say he wanted to remarry you? He did, didn’t he? Did I hear it wrong?” It was only then did Rachel come back to her senses. She cast an indifferent glance at the maid without saying anything. “Miss Bennet, this is great! You are going to remarry Mr. Sullivan!
No, no, I shouldn’t have called you Miss Bennet. I should call you Mrs. Sullivan.” “I’m tired, I want to go back to sleep. If there’s nothing important, don’t wake me up.” Unlike the maid who almost jumped in joy, Rachel remained expressionless. The maid noticed this. The smile on her face gradually disappeared.
She asked hesitantly, “Miss Bennet… Don’t you want to remarry Mr. Sullivan?” “Why makes you think that?” Rachel asked. “It’s just you don’t look very happy…” “You’re thinking too much,” said Rachel, still void of emotions.
After saying that, she walked towards her bedroom, leaving the maid dumbfounded. ‘Am I really just overthinking? But… Miss Bennet seemed to have a sarcastic sneer on her face when Mr. Sullivan said he would remarry her. Was that just an imagination?” the maid thought. “Please don’t leave me.”
“Let’s get remarried after the cruise tour.” Even in her dreams, Victor’s words followed Rachel. Therefore, she couldn’t sleep peacefully. Rachel opened her eyes. She checked her phone and found that it was only nine o’clock in the morning She had only slept for less than half an hour. The sound of waves rang in her ears. Rachel couldn’t go back to sleep, so she sat up, touching her belly. She still had two days to spend aboard. When Victor said he wanted to remarry her, Rachel couldn’t help but smile. But it was a cold
one. It was ridiculous. The moment she entered this body, the first thing she saw through Rachel’s eyes was Victor choking her, wishing she could go to hell. Before she could figure out what was going
on, Victor divorced her and kicked her out. That moment was still fresh in her mind, especially when she was kicked out only wearing
a nightgown. He also threatened her with Bennet Group. Although Victor might have forgotten everything that had happened in the past, Rachel remembered them all clearly. Remarry? How was that possible? If Victor thought she would agree to his proposal, he must be insane. NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
Fortunately, Victor didn’t wait for her answer and left. Otherwise, Rachel would have done something that would sabotage her plan. She didn’t know what was on Victor’s mind when he asked her to remarry him, and honestly, she didn’t give a damn about it. ‘Whatever. I should do something more important,’ Rachel thought as she took out her phone. Breaking into the security system of the ship was the next step of her plan.
Unexpectedly, she received a few messages from Roger. “I just saw the message you sent me last night. I’m sorry, Rachel.” “Are you up? How about we meet? I’ll wait for you on the deck.” Looking at these messages, Rachel thought for a while and replied, “Okay.” Now that she knew Roger had feelings for Rachel, she had to do something, or else he would have false hopes.
One thing was for sure. Roger still loved Rachel even after knowing that she was pregnant with Victor’s child and that she was once a married woman, which meant that he wouldn’t simply give up if she did nothing. Therefore, Rachel had to do make things clear to him, which would be good for them both.
Rachel wasn’t sure if Victor would do something to the Jimenez family because she said she liked Roger. So she had to break it off with Roger to protect him. After changing her clothes, Rachel went to the deck with the maid. The sea breeze was gentle and cool.
It was still a little early, so most of the guests were having breakfast in the dining room. There were only a few people on the deck at that time. Walking up to the deck, Rachel immediately recognized Roger
whose back was facing her. He was looking at the vast sea with his elbows resting on the railing. “Just wait for me here. I need to talk to my friend,” Rachel said to the maid.
The maid followed Rachel’s gaze and recognized Roger in an instant. She suddenly remembered that Victor and Rachel fought once in Sue Garden which led to Rachel being hospitalized because she fainted. At that time, she asked for leave and went home, so she didn’t witness the two fight with her own eyes.
But later on, she found out from her colleagues that they fought because of Roger. “Miss Bennet, should I go with you? Don’t worry. I won’t listen to your conversation, nor will I tell Mr. Sullivan about it. But… Mr. Sullivan said that I have to stay close to you. You haven’t recovered yet. What if…”
Her words pissed off Rachel, but she agreed in the end. “Okay.” “Rachel.” Roger seemed to have felt Rachel’s presence because he turned around to face her. He walked towards her with a charming smile. On the other hand, Rachel only greeted him with a nod. Roger stood in front of her and stared at her face as if observing her. She lost weight again. ‘It must be because of the miscarriage,’ he thought. Her face was still pale too.
She looked very weak Roger couldn’t help but feel sorry for her. “My phone was out of power last night, so I didn’t see your message.” “It’s okay.” Before Roger came to see Rachel, he prepared all the questions he wanted to ask her. But now that he had a chance to, he didn’t know where to start. “Let’s talk over there.
Rachel pointed at the spot where she saw Roger a while ago. The wind blew stronger, so Roger decided to take off his coat to give it to Rachel. But she stopped him. “No, I’m not cold.” Stunned, Roger fixed his coat and nodded. They walked to the deck side by side. The maid followed them closely and looked at them with curious eyes Somehow, she felt that there wasn’t anything unusual between the two of them.
Roger lowered his head and took a deep breath before meeting Rachel’s eyes again. “I thought you didn’t like events like this. I was surprised to see your name on the list.” “Why?” Seemingly conflicted whether to say what was on his mind or not, Roger fell silent for a while before saying, “Rachel, I’ve heard about what happened.” Rachel looked at him.
Then, she lowered her head without saying anything. “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have brought it up.” Seeing her like this, Roger felt a little nervous. “It’s okay. I’m okay. My baby is gone.” “Rachel…” It felt as though Roger’s heart was being ripped out as he looked at Rachel’s forced smile.
He had prepared a lot of comforting words, but he didn’t know what to say now “The baby must have been expecting to see you too. Maybe it’s just not the right time.” Without saying anything, Rachel smiled and focused her eyes at the sea. “Look! Dolphins!” exclaimed someone on the deck in surprise.
