My Darling, My Dearest novel Chapter 128

Rachel pursed her lips and smiled faintly.

Jack really had work to do, so after finishing the noodles and taking the medicine, he took his laptop and went back to the study.

Since she was left alone, Rachel felt bored because she had nothing to do.

She decided to take a walk around.

Then she finally believed what Jack had said—"I usually stay in the company most of the time.

All of a sudden, Rachel felt that she was able to know a different Jack.

In her memory, Jack had always been leisurely. But now, she saw so many documents piled up in the study that he wanted to finish as soon as possible. Moreover, he was also very careful in asking her questions about what really happened today.

For Jack, he couldn't accept that his wife had been bullied. It was very obvious that someone was plotting against Rachel.

No one reported the case to the police. Then they just showed up in the hospital to accuse her of murder despite having no evidence in their hands.

He was so eager to find out who was that person capable of playing such trick to his wife.

When Jack finished his work, he came out of the study to check on Rachel. But he was surprised to see her sleeping soundly, with head askew on the sofa.

Her slim body curled up on the big dark grey sofa. Half of her face was covered by her long hair. From where Jack was standing, only the tip of her nose and her red lips were visible indistinctly.

He walked closer to her. He wanted to wake her up, but upon seeing that she was really asleep, he couldn't have the heart to do so.

He went to the bedroom and get a blanket. He then crouched and covered her with it.

Rachel was awakened by his movements.

She opened her eyes and looked at him sleepily.

The air conditioner was a bit low so Rachel felt cold. She felt comfortable when Jack covered her with a blanket. Then he whispered into her ear, "Go back to sleep if you still feel sleepy. I'll just wake you up later."

Rachel was completely in a daze. She didn't sleep well the other night and everything she had went through today made her feel more exhausted.

That was the reason why she was immediately hit by sleepiness the moment she sat down and relaxed.

Jack's soft voice made her fall asleep again.

He adjusted the air conditioner's temperature and removed the funny fever patch on his forehead.

As he stared at the patch, he couldn't help biting his lower lip and smiled. ■d

He looked at Rachel who was again curled up on the sofa.

He leaned forward and kissed her lips gently. "Good night," he said.

Jack didn't wake her up anymore so Rachel really had a good sleep. She felt a lot better when she woke up the next day.

But staring at the strange ceiling, she wondered where she was.

When she closed her eyes again, she suddenly heard someone breathing heavily beside her. When she turned around, she saw a familiar cold face sleeping soundly.

Now she finally remembered that she was in Jack's apartment. He had probably carried her to the bedroom because she couldn't remember waking up after she fell asleep on the sofa again last night.

She lifted the quilt and got out of the bed quietly. The room was thickly carpeted so she was able to make a few steps without creating a sound.

Before she went out of the room, she first checked Jack's temperature.

When she put her soft palm on his forehead, he turned his head slightly. Maybe he already felt uncomfortable with his position.

Rachel felt relieved after finding out that his temperature went back to normal. She then walked out of the room quietly.

She really admired this man. Despite having a high fever, he still worked overtime. Perhaps he ■d

slept late last night. Fortunately, he didn't have fever anymore today.

It was still early, but Rachel decided to go to the kitchen and prepare breakfast.

She hadn't checked the kitchen carefully last night, so she wasn't really sure what to prepare. When she looked around, she was surprised that the kitchen had all the necessary utensils and appliances. There were also some ingredients in the fridge.

However, she noticed that everything in the kitchen, including the pot she used to cook dinner last night, was still new. Apparently, everything was rarely touched.

She couldn't help wondering how Jack had lived here.

Even though all appliances were available, he seemed not to use them at all.

Rachel thought that if she hadn't come here, all these things would have just been thrown away after a few years.

She decided to make some porridge and fried eggs. She also prepared some pickled vegetables that she had seen in the refrigerator.

When she walked out of the kitchen, she smelled the gas fume in the living room. She hadn't realized that the kitchen didn't have an exhaust fan.

So, she went to open all the windows for the smell to come out.

The sea came into sight when she opened the window. The sky was still hazy. When she looked at the horizon, she realized how the earth's surface and the sky had beautifully met.

Then a slight layer of golden light slowly appeared in the sky above the horizon.

This place had the best mansions in the Ninwell City. Obviously, this was a private residential area along the beach.

People could choose whether to buy or rent an apartment here. But this was not a place for ordinary people. Most of the residents here were rich young men. It was very obvious based on the many yachts parked in the dock. Some of those rich men might be swimming or surfing at the sea right now while some were enjoying the calmness of the sea in their yachts.
