Chapter: 2217

To Bart, it didn't really matter whether Rachel believed him or not, and Rachel also didn't care if he was being truthful. Agreeing was just a quicker way to move the conversation along. Even if she doubted him, Bart wasn't Likely to offer an explanation. He was probably just testing her reaction.

Suddenly, Rachel realized she didn't care why Bart approached her.

His presence meant he would talk when necessary, so she didn't need to overthink it. Since waking up from her nap, Rachel had been feeling a sense of laziness. Initially, she was able to be spirited, but as time went on, she couldn't be bothered thinking.

As Bart observed the detached look on Rachel's face, his expression grew serious. It was difficult to connect her current demeanor with Averie's recent miscarriage.

“Averie was released from the hospital," he mentioned casually, taking a sip of red wine. Although his gaze seemed elsewhere, from the corner of his eye, he watched Rachel's reaction.
