Chapter 696
Knock, knock.
"Everett."
Rachel came to the door of Everett's study and said gently.
Everett sat in the executive chair and looked at the computer screen.
There was a person on the screen.
This person was Tony, who often came to the villa.
Tony heard the voice, looked at the time, and was surprised, "Oh, it's almost ten o'clock. I won't disturb you, bye~"
Then he hang up.
What did he mean by saying that? Tony knew clearly that Everett and Rachel were just a nominal couple.
When Tony said that, he was just teasing Everett.Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
But it was only true friends who dared to tease Everett. No one else dared.
Everett closed his computer, got up and walked over.
Rachel didn't make any sound after that. She waited for a response from inside.
But after a while, the study door opened and the familiar person appeared.
Rachel curved her lips. "Did I disturb you?"
"No."
"Well, I just want to ask if you want something to eat. I am worried that you are busy and may feel hungry."
"I'm done."
Rachel was surprised. So soon?
He usually worked till very late.
Everett walked out and held her hand. "Go to bed earlier. You have class tomorrow."
After Rachel heard what he said, her eyes filled with sorry, "You must be tired during these days."
It was because of him that she could go to class with ease, not need to care about anything else.
Everett held Rachel's hand. Her hand was slim and soft as if it had no bones.
"I'm not tired."
Rachel knew that Everett would say that. She said softly, "I will try to pass the exam earlier. If I pass the exam, you won't have to work so hard."
He must be tired, but he didn't say it.
But she knew.
"Don't put too much pressure on yourself. I'm fine."
Rachel smiled. "I am grateful to have you."
Grateful...
Everett looked at the smile in Rachel's eyes, and his eyes filled with black color immediately.
If he really deserved her gratitude, that was good.
The next morning, Rachel and Everett got up early.
Everett went downstairs to make breakfast, and Rachel went to see Coco.
The little girl usually got up at this time, but now she didn't show up.
She wondered if the little girl still thought about the ice cream last night.
Rachel thought, went to the little girl's bedroom and walked in.
Furry was lying on the bed. It heard the sound and looked over.
Furry was usually the closest to Coco, followed by Rachel, and finally Everett.
No. To be exact, it wasn't intimate with Everett. It didn't usually go to Everett's side.
Now Furry jumped out of bed and ran over after seeing Rachel.
Rachel smiled and bent over to pick up Furry and came to the bed.
Coco was lying on the bed with her face down and she was still asleep.
The quilt was kicked aside by her and she wasn't covered. She was wearing pajamas. Part of her pajamas was lifted because she had turned over and part of her fair flesh was exposed. Seeing this, Rachel took the quilt and covered the little girl, feeling speechless.
Rachel had tucked the little girl in when she left last night, but this little girl actually kicked the quilt away completely and wasn't covered at all.
Was it so hot?
Rachel looked out the window at the sunlight coming in and shook her head.
She might feel hot because of the sunlight.
Rachel took the remote control and pressed a button. The window opened and a cool breeze blew in.
The little girl on the bed moved.
Rachel saw the little girl's movement and sat on the bed, looking at the little girl's red face.
Her usually fair face was red now. It might be resulted from being shone by the sun or from sleeping.
Rachel couldn't help but touch it.
But she felt something wrong.
