Chapter 270 - The Party (1) (1/2)

Rachel looked at him confused and said ”Why, I like it here plus I am starving, I don't want to go anywhere else.”

Robert stared at the waiter and then said ”I don't like the service here.”

”We have not even ordered yet.”

When Robert stared at the waiter again, she realized what the problem was and she smiled, she then stood up from her seat and hugged him tightly while placing a kiss on his lips ”Please let's eat here, honey. I am starving.”

All his anger vanished like he never was angry, he bent down to whisper in her ear ”I will keep the count when the time comes to punish you.”

He then went to sit on the chair opposite to Rachel while Rachel sat in her seat with her cheeks turned red. Robert looked at the menu and placed the order for both of them arrogantly and after the waiter left he turned to Rachel to speak ”Your mother called me while I was in the washroom.”

”Why did she call you instead of me?”

”Because your phone was off, anyways she was asking when we were going to return and when I told her we will be back by tonight, she said that we have to attend the party, one of her friends is throwing.”

Rachel gave an annoyed look and asked ”Can't we go tomorrow then, I don't want to attend the party.”

He looked at her with a smile as if he had heard a joke ”Why?”

She rolled her eyes ”I don't like going to these parties where you have to pretend to be nice to everyone and then everyone is nice to you when you know that they want to stab you. Moreover when a handsome man like you will be with me the number of people will increase will be there to accidentally trip and throw there drinks at me.”

Robert laughed as she said the last sentence with a straight face and then he asked ”Has it happened before?”

Rachel chuckled ”Like I would let anyone do that. I have pretended till the end that I don't know what is gonna happen and at the end I move aside to have them actually fall and make a fool of themselves and that is a blissful site to watch.”

Robert laughed again and while they chatted the waiter came with their food and when he left, Rachel warned ”You will have to be careful too as many girls will be ready to throw themselves on you.”

Robert smiled ”It will be fun to watch, what about you, won't there be men throwing themselves on my beautiful fiance.”

Rachel smirked ”Like they have a chance.”

Robert laughed again and then began serving the dishes to Rachel and then he put the food on his plate before they started eating.

Later that evening they returned home and Jamie was already waiting for them by the door. Charles was ready too and as he came forward to hug his daughter he noticed the ring on her finger and then looked at Robert.

Rachel smiled widely following her father's gaze, she said ”Dad we are engaged.”

Before Charles could react Jamie hugged her daughter and jumped up in happiness ”Oh my God, this is amazing.”

Charles pulled Jamie back and looked at her daughter sternly ”Sweetie is there something wrong because you are too young for this.”

Rachel smiled at her father ”Dad relax nothing is wrong” she air quoted the last word knowing that her dad meant that if she was pregnant ”it is just that he said that we will marry whenever I will be ready for it, he will wait for all those years this is just our commitment to each other.”

Charles was about to protest when Jamie squeezed his arm tightly and gave him a stare warning him not to continue his sentence. He rolled his eyes and said ”Do as you kids like but be careful.”

Rachel gave an angry look to her dad before saying ”Dad, you need to trust me.”

Jamie then changed the subject to avoid a possible argument ”Alright, now we will celebrate this some other time because right now we have a party to attend, we are ready so we will be leaving first both of you can rest for a while and come later as it will be till late night.”

Rachel made a disinterested face again as she said to her mother ”Do we really have to go.”

Jamie gave her a stern look ”You know, I hate these parties as much as you do but somethings are unavoidable so you better be on time.”
