Rachel wanted to tell Jack that Celine had come to give her problem a few times, but she decide otherwise.
It was better to stay silent because she knew that even if she said something right now, Jack would never believe her.
"All right," she simply said.
Celine, on the other hand, finally gave up on calling Jack and decided to leave his house.
She drove aimlessly and without a destination in mind. She wanted to look for Jack, but she had no clue where to start looking. If he had just picked up her call, she wouldn't be crying right now.
'Is he planning to break up with me?' Celine shook her head at the thought. Jack was not the type of person who would treat her like this without good reason. If he wanted to break up, he would've said it to her face to face.
Unbeknownst to Celine, the real reason that Jack became so cold to her was because he didn't have the time to talk to her in person yet.
She guessed that he was avoiding to meet her because she had lied to him the other day.
She wanted to apologize to him sincerely.
She was willing to do anything to have him back.
But there was a faint voice at the back of her head telling her that this time was different and that he had never treated her like this before.
She tried to keep her focus, but her mind was too clouded.
She didn't know where else she could go, so she drove to a bar.
Neon lights were flashing in front of the bar. She held her phone in her trembling hands. "One last call," she sighed.
Still no one answered her call. She began pounding the steering wheel while screaming, "Why won't you pick up the call? Damn you, Jack!"
Celine took deep breaths to calm herself down. If she lost her cool, it would be all over for her. She looked at the bar in
your desires all this time?"
But no matter how hard he suppressed his desires, he had never had this kind of dream with Celine. The last time that he had this kind of dream was when he was still a teenager. It was degrading!
Jack was so ashamed of himself that he was driven to laughter. Why would he dream of Rachel of all people? Why not Celine? On top of that, how could he keep dreaming of Rachel over and over?
There must be a reason. There had to be. Otherwise, he would think himself insane.
Rachel had left for work when he finished cleaning.
She had the habit of making breakfast, but not for other people.
As Jack made his way to the kitchen, he was attracted by the smell coming from there. He went in and found Rachel's leftover porridge.
He licked his lips. The porridge looked delicious, and he hadn't eaten since yesterday. His stomach started growling.
It suddenly occurred to Jack why he started liking Celine. It was because of her kindness.
When they had just gotten together, she got up early every morning to lovingly prepare breakfast for him, though it didn't taste that good.
His stomach growled again.
Celine said she had learned to cook because she always cook when she lived with her parents.
But that was not the case for Rachel. He wondered where she learned how to cook. She seemed like a great cook as well, making something so simple like porridge smell so good. Rachel couldn't have learned cooking from the Fu family. They always had servants to do everything for them.
Did she learn how to cook after she left the Fu family? Nonetheless, she turned out to be a good cook and that was all that mattered. Jack walked out from the kitchen. He was thinking maybe he could taste the food Rachel made some day.
