Chapter: 925

Rachel the way Roger had at that time.

Clara had no wish that there would be another one in the family who would like Rachel. Roger was already enough.

"So, how are you feeling now that you're back here?" Clara asked, changing the topic.

"Four years have passed quickly and yet, much has changed." Rachel turned around so that she could rest an elbow on the railing.

Looking down, she said, “Oh, I heard that you're now the vice director. Congratulations!"

Clara replied with a perfunctory "Thank you!"

A short silence followed as if Clara and Rachel were skirting the topic of them being friends.

A waiter passed by them. Seeing that Clara didn't touch her glass of wine, the waiter accordingly asked, “Ma'am, would you like something else?"

Clara looked up and told the waiter, "Yes, please give me a glass of orange juice."

The waiter nodded, left, and came back with a glass of orange juice.

“Here you go, ma'am. Enjoy your drink."

Rachel noticed that Clara took the glass but didn't drink the juice at once.

"I'm pregnant so I can't drink wine. But let me propose a toast to you with this orange juice. Welcome back, Rachel. I hope you'll have a good stay here."

Rachel was surprised at this news.

“How long have you been pregnant?" she asked as she looked at Clara's flat belly.

"Oh, just two months," Clara answered as she gently placed her hand on her abdomen.

Rachel frowned.

"You should really take it easy in the first trimester."

"I'm fine. And remember that I'm a doctor and I also know my body well enough," Clara said and smiled at Rachel.

"I've been resting at home these days but sometimes I get bored so I go out."

Rachel raised her glass of wine and clinked it against Clara‘s.

“Congratulations to you! And to Riley, too. She's now getting a companion."

Clara took a sip of the orange juice. There was a gentle Look on her face.

Rachel sipped her wine and looked away. The open-air balcony had a good location. It had a beautiful view of the city lights of the central area of Apliaria

Clara looked down at her belly. She shook her head, ever so slightly.
