Chapter 236 It's Unacceptable

Rachel stopped. She saw that Jack had already placed his hand on Celine's shoulder. From the looks of it, it seemed that Celine was leaning even closer into his arms.

But Jack didn't even avoid her. In fact, he was just standing quietly as if he was mesmerized by her appearance.

Her heart ached at the sight.

Without hesitation, Rachel strode over towards the enclosed space. The lawyer stayed right where he was. He didn't even know what to do.

He didn't know if he should leave the three to talk to each other or stay just in case something might happen.

Rachel moved steadily.

She was so closed to the balcony door, but the two still hadn't noticed her.

Perhaps it was because of the fact that they were too engrossed with each other's presence. Or it could also be because of the lightness of her footsteps that they didn't notice her.

Rachel raised her hand and knocked on the door.

They turned their heads at the same time, paling at the sight. They looked like a pair of deer caught in the headlight.

It felt like this was scene ripped off from some telenovela. It was as if she was the villain who had caught sight of the hero and the heroine. She clenched her fists.

Rachel had remembered what she had said to Celine, believing that the woman in front of her wouldn't be an obstacle in her marriage. Now, it seemed

t be solved in a single day. She didn't want to listen to him coaxing her while he continued helping his ex.

Rachel thought that she wouldn't care about any of this.

She didn't think that she would care so much about Jack, but the moment she stepped into her place, she burst into tears.

Wiping her tears in a hurry, she rushed back the stairs. In her room, she felt safe and secured.

Rachel didn't have to worry about anything. There wouldn't be anyone to laugh or mock the state she was in.

Now, she could scream out everything she wanted to say.

Although she had plastered a smile on her face a while ago, she knew that her heart was nowhere near happy.

It was then that she realized how hateful she felt that she was Jack's second choice.

She had hoped that he would cherish her. She had hoped that he would act as if she was the only woman in the world, but that wouldn't happen. That would never happen.

In the end, Jack didn't run after her. That fact pierced through her very soul.

Rachel closed her eyes.

She had no idea that Jack was also feeling the same type of desperation.

Something about what Rachel had said to him made him freeze as if he was struck by lightning.

When Celine saw that Jack didn't run after Rachel, she smirked.

It seemed that their relationship wasn't as strong as she had thought.
