Chapter 333 Weeping Out Her Grief

Unfortunately, finding an apartment that was both cheap and cozy was extremely difficult for fresh college graduates like Celia.

It was therefore fortunate for Celia that Rachel agreed to check the Internet for any information regarding apartments for rent. However, even with Rachel's help, the search for a new apartment was still difficult.

A week quickly passed by. When she arrived at the hospital early in the morning, Rachel happened to see Celia who walked towards her with a suitcase in one hand and two bulging bags on the other.

Rachel hurried towards Celia and helped her carry the two bags. "The apartment was due today?"

"Yes. I have no choice but to go straight home after work. So, I brought my stuff here. Can I put them in your office, Rachel?" The thought of the family that she'd be going to after her shift made Celia feel depressed.

She understood that having a stepmother was like having a stepfather as well.

Her father didn't really care too much about her before, but he seemed to have gotten worse. He never sent Celia a single message or called her since graduation.

Celia had called her father the day before and told him that she would move back the next day. He took the matter lightly and didn't even properly welcome her back. "We placed some things inside your room. You come back tonight and clean it up yourself," he had told her flatly.

Rachel understood that it must be like walking towards execution for Celia. She wanted to say that her study room could become a guest room if she made some changes to it.

However, the thought only reached the tip of her tongue, and returned to th

stand how Celia felt at that moment.

Celia's tears kept falling down like rain, and all that Rachel could do was gently tap her shoulder. "Let's have dinner first. There's delicious food waiting for us tonight," she suggested to distract her from her situation.

"Okay," Celia agreed. She did her best to smile and stop herself from sobbing.

"Did Jack cook all of these dishes on his own, Rachel?" she asked and forced herself to sound happy.

"Yes. Go ahead and try some," Rachel offered.

She went to the study and called Jack to dinner. When she turned around and was about to leave, he grabbed her hand and pulled her back into the study. He jumped to his feet and held her tightly in his arms.

Her cheeks blushed red right away.

"Jack, what are you doing? Let go of me!" Rachel said but didn't make a move to free herself from Jack's warm embrace.

"Why did she come to you?" Jack asked. He blew on her hair that fell on her forehead.

"Can you stop being so childish?" Rachel said as she pretended to be irritated. "She's going to live with me for a few days. Don't visit me while she's here."

Jack's face suddenly sunk when he heard Rachel's words. "Are you afraid?" he asked.

"You know very well the answer to that!" Rachel retorted.

Celia suddenly called out from the dining room. Rachel immediately pushed Jack away, straightened her clothes and went back to the table.

Jack thought of ignoring what she just said to him, but he was afraid that she would get angry. He admitted to himself that he was such a coward when it came to Rachel lately. Each time they met, nothing else seemed to matter anymore.
