Chapter: 581
"hy?"
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.
Hearing the sound, both Rachel and Roger looked over at the water instinctively.
They saw a flock of dolphins in the sea, and heard the unique sounds that could only come from them.
Rachel was fascinated by these dolphins.
"I never thought I would see dolphins here," she murmured in awe.
She leaned against the railing and stretched out her hand, as if trying to touch them. The dolphins splashed water as they swam, and some drops fell on the back of her hand. It was chilly, but she smiled.
“An elder once told me that good things will happen to you when you meet dolphins," Roger said with a smile.
“Everything will be okay,
Rachel."
Rachel withdrew her hand and smiled. But her eyes remained focused on the lovely dolphins. They stayed that way for some time without saying anything.
She knew that Roger was trying to comfort her and make her happy.
Of course, the smile on her face and how peaceful she looked at the moment relieved him. Though his gaze remained on her, his thoughts were far away. And just like that, he asked her sincerely, "Rachel, are you really happy with him?"
He had wanted to ask her this question for a long time. It had been buried in his heart for two long years.
He had wanted to ask her this two years ago when Rachel married
Victor. But unfortunately, he had never found the courage to do it.
Instead, he packed and fled Apliaria the same night. When he learned that she was divorced but pregnant with Victor's child, he had that burning urge to ask again. But the smile he saw on her face when she spoke about her baby stopped him from asking his question.
