Chapter 229 Bailed Out

Celine's tears flowed freely down her cheeks and they made her look miserable and pitiful.

Baron was not able to say anything. The entire time, he had thought that Celine accompanied Jack to the police station.

Or that maybe they were both arrested while they were together.

And either one of these scenarios where unbearable for Baron. He never received any information about why Jack and Celine were at the police station while he drove all the way there in his car.

But now that he knew the truth of what really happened. It was actually his buddy who had tried to violate his woman.

Baron felt extremely ashamed of himself and how he acted earlier. He had even planned to have a huge fight with Celine to boost up his damaged ego.

But after he heard the story of what really happened, he was too ashamed to admit his fault. The sight of Celine looking so helpless and pathetic made him feel so sorry for her. He slowly reached out his hands to her and pulled her close to him. "I'm so sorry, honey. I should not have been so mean to you earlier."

Celine immediately lowered her head and closed her eyes to hide the disgust that she felt. She leaned her head forward into his arms, accidentally hitting the area where he was punched.

Baron gasped in pain. She pretended not to hear him and immediately started to cry loudly.

Her loud crying made Baron feel so guilty. He gritted his teeth hard and endured all the pain.

He pretended to be a tender and good boyfriend to her as he gently comforted her. He apologized to her gently.

His attitude changed so suddenly, and Celine took advantage of this by bending over to his shoulder and sobbed.

Her eyes were filled with indifference. She knew his biggest weakness was his keen on face-saving.

And the knowledge gave Celine the advantage and ability to manipulate him.

In the meantime, Rachel took a shower and then changed into her pajamas afterwards. She sat on the bed as she wiped her long hair

ally faded, and now, there was total silence. He stood up from the sofa in the living room and went up to the bedroom to knock at the door once more.

There was still no response from the bedroom.

For some reason, he suddenly felt nervous. He felt like a schoolboy who did something embarrassing in front of his crush. And he had no idea how to deal with that situation.

Additionally, he knew that he couldn't just force himself into the room, and then beg for her forgiveness.

But he also didn't want to wait outside the room for nothing.

He thought that if Rachel still wouldn't open the door,

he would find another way to get into the room.

He felt sure that she would forgive him sooner or later.

He thought for a while and decided to wait at the living room once more.

An hour had passed, but Rachel never came out of the bedroom nor was there any sound coming from inside the bedroom.

His heart started to beat fast. He went to the bedroom door once more and tried to open the doorknob. He was surprised when he found that it wasn't even locked.

He paused for a while, and then decided to completely turn the doorknob and open the door. He wondered if she left the door unlocked and was waiting for him to enter the room all this time, and he didn't even realized it.

He opened the door wide and was greeted by complete darkness from inside the room.

It was so dark that he couldn't even see his own hand in front of him.

He suddenly panicked and quickly walked forward even in complete darkness. He took a few steps forward and then stood very still.

He calmed himself down and then turned on the light inside the bedroom.

The soft bedroom light filled every corner of the room when he turned it on. He was shocked with what he saw. His eyes immediately scanned the entire room. It was empty.

He took two steps forward and it was then that complete panic filled his entire being. "Rachel!" he shouted out in the middle of the bedroom.
