My Darling, My Dearest

Since Andrew was Jonathan and Tracy's first grandson, they wouldn't just want a simple family dinner to celebrate his first birthday. As a matter of fact, they had already planned a few months ago to hold a big party. They wanted to introduce Andrew to the whole Ninwell City.

This evening, Rachel went to the yard after dinner. There, she saw Tracy and Jonathan sitting on a stone bench. They were chatting while Tracy was carrying Andrew in her arms.

Rachel walked up to them and crouched in front of Tracy. She gently poked Andrew's cheek and asked, "Andy, what are you laughing? Why are you so happy?"

Andy was Andrew's nickname. Jack gave it to him on the second day after he was born.

At that time, Jonathan and Tracy insisted on giving him a nickname, but the names they had thought didn't sound good to Jack.

Tracy even suggested calling him "Baby" as his nickname. Jack refused at once.

To stop his parents from thinking of funny nicknames, Jack immediately thought of a nickname for his baby. And from the name Andrew, he came up with "Andy." Fortunately, everyone was satisfied with it. Tracy handed Rachel a piece of paper. It was the guest list she made for Andy's first birthday. "Check this out. Do you have any other friends to invite?"

Rachel looked through the long list of names. She actually felt a little dizzy, but she still looked at them carefully. Seeing that Lea and Celia were already listed, she shook her head and said, "Mom, I don't have any other friends to invite. You've already listed Lea and Celia here."

"Okay. I'll ask the staff to make invitation cards according to this list then." Tracy handed the list to the staff who was already standing behind her. But when the staff was about to leave, she suddenly stopped him.

She then turned to Rachel and asked, "How about your colleagues? Don't you think of inviting them? You know, the more guests, the more fun.

"Thanks, but there's no need, Mom," Rachel refused.

As much as possible, she wanted to keep a low profile.

"Okay." She breathed a sigh of relief when Tracy didn't insist. After telling the staff to leave, Tracy chatted with Jonathan again, and they continued to talk about their plans for Andy's birthday party. With a faint smile, Rachel took Andy from Tracy and went to the living room. There, she saw Jack fiddling with a remote-controlled toy car. As soon as he saw them coming in, he pressed the remote, and the car moved towards the mother and son. He then said, "Andy, look. Dad bought you a very nice toy car."

"Is that for Andy or for you?" Rachel asked with a smile. Since Andy was born, she felt like Jack had gone back to his childhood. Every day after work, he played with different kinds of toys. He said that he needed to master them so he could teach Andy how to play with them when the child grew up.

With that reason of his, she couldn't refute.

Jack just smiled at Rachel's question. He was already used to it. "Honey, did Mom talk to you about Andy's birthday again?"

Rachel glanced at him and said, "Yes. How did you know?"

Jack picked up a toy from the sofa and handed it to Andy. He then looked at Rachel's eyes and said, "Your eyes can't hide anything from your husband. After all, she also asked me earlier if I want to invite my employees."

"What did you say to her?"

Tracy must be crazy. MK Group had hundreds of employees. If they all came, they might not be able to find such a big banquet hall to accommodate them. Jack patted her on the shoulder and smiled. "Don't worry. I know what you think about it. Am I the kind of husband who will go against his wife's will?"

Rachel was amused by his words. But she leered at him and said, "You are too loquacious."

"Of course." Jack winked at her and motioned her to sit down on the sofa. He then sat beside her, put his arm around her waist, and rested his chin on her shoulder. With an ambiguous look on his face, he slightly blew on her neck and said, "Honey, you know what? I'm not only good at talking. I'm also good at something else."

"What is it?" Rachel felt so ticklish that she wanted to move away from Jack. However, he held her waist more tightly.

Jack deliberately pouted. "Stop playing dumb, honey. You haven't made love with me for quite a while now. Will you consider it tonight? I've been living like a monk for a long time."

Rachel's face flushed in an instant. Since Andy was born, he had been sleeping with them, so they couldn't have private time together at night. As a man, Jack would naturally have his sexual desire.

But she didn't feel comfortable talking about it in the living room, so she gently pushed him and said, "Stop it. Dad and Mom might hear you." As soon as she finished speaking, Jonathan and Tracy came in together.

Obviously, they overheard Jack and Rachel's conversation because Tracy deliberately covered her eyes with her hands and turned her back. "Don't worry. Just pretend that we are not here. Go on with your moment."

The sound of laughter around the living room made Rachel's face grow redder. She hurriedly moved away from Jack and played with Andy as if nothing had happened just now.

But the next second, Jack took Andy away from her and put into Tracy's arms. He then said, "Mom, Andy will sleep with you tonight. Don't disturb us."

Rachel was at a loss for words. She didn't expect that Jack would be so shameless in front of his parents. When she was about to refuse, he continued, "Andy will be one year old in two days. He can't always steep with his parents. Boys should be

more independent."

He didn't give Rachel any chance to counter at all. He took her hand and led her to the stairs. "We should also have our private time to have a good rest." Tracy immediately agreed with a smile. "Yes. You should have some time alone to get along with each other well."

Jack and Rachel were already in the middle of the stairs, but the latter still heard Tracy say, "This is the only way that they can give us more grandchildren." Feeling the beads of sweat on her forehead, Rachel pinched Jack's waist and said, "This is all your fault. How can I even face them tomorrow?" However, Jack didn't mind the pain and still smiled. As soon as they entered the room, he lifted her and put her on the bed.

Looking at his muscular figure that was pressing on her, Rachel quickly covered her chest with both hands. "Jack, wait. I haven't taken a shower yet." "Don't bother. We have been married for a long time now. You don't have to be so fastidious." Jack lowered his head, but Rachel dodged him once again.

She got up and walked to the bathroom. When she came out, Jack was already lying on the bed with a coquettish grin. "Honey, come here..."

Rachel couldn't help laughing. He looked like a gigolo who was trying to seduce his customer. She rolled her eyes and asked, "Jack, are you out of your mind?" With a snort, Jack stood up and held her hand. "Come on, honey. I can't wait."

Jack was about to start doing his business when Rachel's phone suddenly rang. She pushed him away and said, "Wait, I have to answer it first."

"Don't answer it. It's not as important as our business." At this moment, Jack looked like a hungry wolf. But he failed to coax Rachel. In the end, he could only watch her leave from his arms.

He clenched his fists and thumped the bed. "I'm going to strangle whoever is calling you at this time of the night. Such bad timing!"

Rachel only listened quietly on the phone. But upon seeing that she suddenly looked stern, Jack sat up and asked with a frown, "Who's that? What happened?"

After hanging up, Rachel hurriedly walked to the wardrobe, took out a coat, and put it on. "It's Mom. Andy has a fever all of a sudden, and he threw up, so they took him to the hospital. We must go there now."

"Why is it so sudden? Wasn't he fine

just now?" Jack put on his clothes in a hurry too. He then patted Rachel on the shoulder and comforted her. "Don't worry. He'll be fine. I'll go downstairs to start the car. Just go down when you're ready."

"Okay."

While putting Andy's stuff in the bag, Rachel couldn't help trembling. She was not a pediatrician, but she knew that this thing normally happened to every child as they grew up.

But now that it happened to Andy, she couldn't calm herself down.

Jack maneuvered the steering wheel with one hand and held Rachel's hand tightly with his other hand. Although he was also very anxious, he tried his best to cheer her up. Unfortunately, it didn't work.

When they arrived at the hospital,

Tracy was pacing back and forth in

the ward. Andy was crying in her arms. Jonathan stood by the side holding a milk bottle in his hand. He looked at Andy anxiously and kept

long, "Baby, do you still feel

uncomfortable?"

Rachel walked up to Tracy and took a look at Andy. His cheeks were red all over. She then asked, "Mom, what happened?"

"I gave him a bath and let him play in the water for a while so..." Tracy's voice was full of selfblame as she choked. Her red and swollen eyes became misty again.
