My Darling, My Dearest novel Chapter 110

'Is that what he meant?1 Rachel thought and

raised an eyebrow. "How do you plan to avenge Celine?"

"Avenge?" Jack chuckled, as if he heard a joke. With a sly grin, he asked, "How should I avenge her?"

Rachel pursed her lips, not having an answer. But he wasn't even expecting an answer. Hearing nothing, he walked past her and took his jacket off.

Rachel gaped as she stared at his strong back, his defined muscles were accented by the tight-fitted shirt.

Without his back facing her, Jack calmly asked, "Could you please prepare warm water for me? I got caught in the rain earlier and I would like to take a warm bath."

Before ascending upstairs, he hung his clothes on the armrest. This was strange, it wasn't what she had expected.

Rachel frowned. She wasn't his maid, why was he ordering her to do things for him?

"Hey!" Rachel quickly follow him up the stairs and found a half-naked Jack. For a while, she got entranced by his broad shoulders and well-defined chest that could make any teenage girl scream in delight.

"I'll take care of the issue with Celine. Don't ■d

worry about it. Could you please prepare some water for me now?"

She gave him a pointed look and crossed her arms. "You don't have a bathtub in your room. I can't help you."

Instead of arguing, Jack tilted his face and gave her a teasing smile. "I do remember that you have one in your room."

'Is this guy serious?' "You want to use my bathtub?"

She rolled her eyes. "No way! Don't you have a perfectly working shower in your bathroom?"

Ignoring her, he walked past her. "I'll be here later."

Before entering his room, he suddenly stopped. Without turning around, he said, "After I finish taking a bath, we can discuss how we'll solve the issue about Celine. For now, please prepare my bath."

Rachel blushed in fury and stared at the door to his bedroom.

'Asshole! I'm not his nanny!'

She had already had a script played in mind, listing down what she was going to argue back with. She sighed. That man surely got the better of her, rendering her speechless.

She looked at Jack's wet black jacket that was drenched from the rain.

A flicker of doubt crossed her mind. Where did Jack come from?

She took his jacket and ran upstairs. Before ■d

entering his room, she heard someone talking on the phone inside.

"Yes, something happened and I can't let her stay here any longer."

Curious, Rachel shamelessly eavesdropped as Jack spoke on the phone.

"We already broke up a long time ago. I don't want to be bothered with this matter anymore."

Jack paused and continued in a low voice, "For the past five years, I have truly loved her. Honestly, I'm fed up. It's impossible for me to maintain a relationship filled with deceitful lies."

"I can't take it anymore. That's it."

Hearing this, Rachel quietly went back. She finally understood why Jack didn't question her right after he arrived.

'Had he really broken up with Celine?'

She retreated into her room with Jack's jacket.

She unconsciously followed Jack's orders and turned the bathtub's water on. For a while, she got lost in thoughts. Just as she was about to place his wet jacket in the laundry basket, she saw that the tub was almost full.

Quickly, she turned the faucet off.

Just as she was about to leave, Jack entered the bathroom with a robe in his hand. He stood there, half-naked, and surprised to see her preparing water for him.

Rachel turned around and gaped at this sexy man. "You..." ■d

Before she could say anything else, Jack winked and cheekily said, "Thanks for the bath."

Pretending to be serious, he looked at her. "I'm going to take a bath. Please leave."

Entranced, Rachel hurriedly left the bathroom and heard the door close behind her. She stared at the bathroom door, her eyes narrowing.

'This man...
