Chapter 170 A Drastic Turn

Jack didn't know whether to cry or to laugh. "Rachel...." He was speechless with fury and amusement.

He had changed so much and let his guard down. He had let her peak into his heart.

She should have known that he was in love with her.

Hearing what she had said, annoyed and amused Jack at the same time. He had never felt so helpless before.

After all this time, she still hadn't realized how differently he treated her.

Confused, Rachel asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Placing one hand at the back of her head, Jack pulled her close and pressed his lips against her forehead.

He did not attempt to conceal his feelings for her. "You stupid girl," he said, affection evident in his voice.

Rachel was trying to make sense of what was happening. She did not understand what his answer meant.

'Why did he call me stupid?

Ugh! What exactly did he mean?'

Rachel's mood was quickly deteriorating.

Jack was still evading giving her a proper response. "You can feel my heart beating against yours. Can you not tell whether I have a crush on you or not?"

Rachel could feel her emotions swim to the surface. She realized what a coward she was being.

She was in a daze, unable to figure out what he meant. Jack could also sense her confusion.

But, he was enjoying watching her struggle. So, he kept

dn't like her either.

If Rachel's parents hadn't died, she would have been the ideal choice for Jack, given the Shen family's background.

She had grown up right in front of their eyes. Jonathan even considered her to be his daughter. She was qualified and educated. But Tracy could not help thinking that Jack could do better.

As a mother, she thought that her son was an ideal man. Therefore, she had always been picky about the women he had taken an interest in.

Even though Rachel was not a bad person, she and Jack did not really connect.

Tracy had finally accepted her son's marriage as a catastrophe. But, now she was witnessing a dramatic change.

She was both taken aback and curious about it.

Tracy asked Rachel to help her wash the fruits in the kitchen. This was the first time she had done something like this.

She wanted to ask about their relationship. Both Jonathan and Jack were aware of her motives.

Flattered, Rachel got up and followed her mother-in-law to the kitchen. But she was confused by her changed attitude.

Maybe this was the result of her and Jack making progress.

Tracy took some peaches, grapes, and other fruits to the table.

She started rubbing a peach slowly hoping Rachel would catch on.

Her well-maintained, soft, and plump hands rubbed against the peach skin.
