Countdown to My Divorce (Rachel and William) novel Chapter 151

Chapter 151

“I don’t know why she suddenly showed up either. I really didn’t think much of it at the time. I’m sorry. Did I cause a lot of trouble for you? If Rachel misunderstood anything, I can go talk to her and explain. I don’t think she’s the petty type,” Samantha said.

William narrowed his eyes slightly. Something about Rachel felt different lately, but he couldn’t quite put his finger on it.

She had been avoiding him lately. Or perhaps, had she already figured something out?

That thought made the light in William’s eyes grow dimmer.

“Don’t worry, she’s not that petty. Let’s head inside. If there are any activities later, just be careful.”

Samantha leaned against him and replied sweetly, “Don’t worry, make sure to protect our baby.”

Inside the main hall, Cecilia was munching on some fruit. Everything here was provided by the resort and offered in unlimited

amounts.

She had just turned her head when she saw Rachel walking in from outside. She waved at her.

“Over here-”

Rachel, already looking around for Cecilia, quickly made her way over.

Cecilia rushed to her and grabbed her hand. “What’s going on with you? Do you know how panicked we were this morning when we couldn’t reach you?

“Where did you go? Mr. Lewis asked me about you several times. Everyone at the company was waiting. He actually stayed behind to wait just for you, but things got busy and he had to come here to host the event.”

Rachel’s heart gave a little jolt. Did William wait for her? That was definitely unusual.

After Rachel explained what had happened, Cecilia nearly screamed.

“Are you crazy? With your allergy problems, how can you even think about keeping a cat?”

Rachel quickly held up a finger to hush her. “Can you not make such a big deal out of it? Keep your voice down.”

She didn’t want people overhearing and gossiping about her again. No doubt someone would start calling her a saint or say she was insane for holding up the company over a stray cat.

She really didn’t need the extra drama.

Cecilia only now noticed how many people were staring at them. She immediately shut her mouth. “Sorry. I’m really worried about your allergies. Are you sure you’ll be okay?”

“Relax. And I said, I’ll only adopt it if no one else steps up. The vet said my allergies aren’t incurable. They can be managed.”

Cecilia let out a sigh. “You’re being reckless. Don’t you remember when you moved into that dusty office? You could barely breathe at night back then. This isn’t just a little rash or sneeze were talking about. This could be a serious medical issue.”

“Trust me. I’ll be fine,” Rachel replied. She was confident in her own health.

Just then, William clapped his hands as he walked over.
