Celine was pleased, but she didn't step forward. She shouldn't show her arrogance in front of Jack. It might send out the wrong message.
She had already overheard what Rachel said. She was right to say that Jack still cared for Celine.
Although it was hard to get Jack back now, she knew him very well.
She knew if she continued to push herself towards him, he would continue pushing her away.
As long as the man continued to care for her, she would do everything to disturb their marriage.
The angrier Rachel was, the more distant they would be from each other.
Celine would do everything to cause trouble in their marriage.
She wanted to let everyone see how much of a hypocrite Rachel was. She wanted everyone to see her take off her mask. Celine wanted to expose her for who she was.
Apart from her family background, how could Rachel even compare to her?
Celine stood still, and her eyes flashed.
In the next three days, Rachel's life suddenly morphed back to what it had been like before.
Jack and Celine didn't show up on her doorstep.
She would go to work and return home once she was off work.
Although everything seemed to have gone back to the way it was, Rachel knew that the events that had transpired before this were not part of her dreams. However, she wished they were.
Honestly, she was simply surprised that Jack didn't follow her out that night.
In fact, when she returned to
e room. "Rachel, wait..."
"What's wrong?"
"It's going to rain in the neighboring province for the next two days. Don't forget to bring an umbrella."
Rachel warmed at his reminder. "Okay."
It was not until the fifth day that Jack came. The bruises on his face were already close to disappearing.
Although he had the key, he didn't dare open the door to her apartment.
Instead, with an uneasy heart, he rang the doorbell and waited.
Five days had passed, and he didn't know if Rachel was still mad at him.
He didn't wait for several days on purpose.
When she had stalked out of the hospital, Jack wanted to catch up to her, but he stopped himself.
She had been so angry that he had absolutely no confidence as to what to say. He was afraid that he might just piss her off.
He didn't want her to think that he was just trying to coax her. In fact, at this point, he was afraid that Rachel wouldn't trust him anymore.
This was why, instead of running after her, he stayed.
Jack decided to calm himself down.
Although Celine's matter should be taken care of by then, Howard was still stubborn enough to beg for Jack to be there, just to confirm with the police that everything would be fine.
Jack had agreed for Howard's sake.
However, Baron wasn't happy with the decision.
His woman's business had nothing to do with Jack at all, so he didn't understand why the man had to be dragged into this.
