It was the best choice send Celine away.
"You don't have to apologize for this, you know," Rachel said. "I do hope that you can keep your word. We both know that if she comes to me and stirs up trouble again, Dad won't just drive her away from the city."
She was seldom mighty, but when she was, it deeply impressed Jack. It seemed that Celine had pissed her off too many times that she had run out of tolerance.
"It won't happen again. That, I can assure you." He paused and felt the embarrassment rising up in his head. "Before she came to you, I had already broken up with her. But I didn't expect her to cause you trouble."
Rachel nodded to indicate that she understood what he meant. She curved her lips into a small smile and said, "If you loved her so much before, why didn't you fight to stay in the relationship?"
Jack wasn't expecting for her to ask such a question. His face slightly darkened and silence lingered in between them. After a pause, he replied, "I thought that I could've maintained the relationship on my own for the both of us."
Rachel pursed her lips. He didn't seem to know how to be in a proper relationship. But then again, what did she know? She had never been in a relationship b
after getting into a fight with Lea and Rachel.
Her face had been injured and her hand was hurt. In her eyes, Jack would avenge her and wouldn't let Rachel go.
But it had been more than a day and she still hadn't heard from him. The longer she waited, the more anxious she became. When Rona called and said she would like to visit her, Celine just refused.
Celine had sent him countless messages, but there still wasn't a single reply.
She cried in frustration.
After losing all hope, she calmed down and tried to ponder over her relationship with Jack again.
She didn't understand why and when Jack suddenly became so cold to her.
She thought about it and came to a realization that it all began when she had lied to him about attending a party in one of her friend's yacht. She didn't even know how he had been able to detect the lie.
She wanted to reclaim Jack's love for her. Why did he even give up in the first place? Was it just because she lied?
The bell suddenly rang, disrupting her thoughts. She twisted her brows in response. She wasn't expecting any guests today.
Rolling her eyes, she deduced that It was probably just Rona. That girl never listened to her and it was getting annoying.
