She didn’t know how to answer him because he was right.

Even if she wanted to leave Apilaria, no one could stop her.

She only had to be cruel enough.

After all, all it would take was for her to ignore her engagement to Roger, Sullivan Group, and the chaos in Apilaria-and then she would be free to leave this city.

“You’d better go.

Get in the car.

Safe trip.” In the end, Rachel offered no explanation to Quintin and just closed the car door.

Another car pulled out of the garage.

Lila stepped out of the house with a black coat for Rachel and called out to her.

“Miss Bennet, it’s time to go to the funeral home.”

Rachel turned and took the coat from Lila.

She noticed the concern on Lila’s face, so she smiled and comforted her.

“Lila, you don’t have to prepare lunch for me.

I’LL be back in the evening.”

After heeding Rachel’s instruction, Lila glanced at the car where the little boy was.

“Joey hasn’t had breakfast.

What if he wakes up and gets hungry? There’s still some time before the flight.

How about I prepare something that they can have on the way?”

“Lila.” Before Lila could go to the kitchen, Rachel grabbed her hand.

“Don’t worry.

There’s food on the plane.

Joey won’t be hungry.”

This statement stopped Lila, but her eyes slowly turned red.

“Why are you in such a hurry? Why do you want to send him away all of a sudden?”

Rachel averted her gaze and said nothing.

Her reaction seemed to have reminded Lila that it was inappropriate for her to ask too much, so she wiped the tears that welled up in her eyes.

“Then I’LL cook dinner and wait for you tonight, Miss

Bennet.”

“Okay.”

Rachel finally loosened her grip on Lila’s hand, then cast a glance at Quintin before getting into the passenger seat of the car beside her.

Right then, Quintin took the hint and got in the car as well to drive Joey to the airport.

Meanwhile, Rachel’s car went the other way.

As Andy drove the car, he caught a glimpse of Rachel from the corner of his eye.

He hesitated for a bit before expressing his concern.

“Rachel, you don’t have to go if you’re not comfortable.”

Last night, Rachel called Andy.

He was on a business trip, but he immediately came back.
