My Darling, My Dearest novel Chapter 138

Lea went to the refrigerator and got two bottles of mineral water. She put one bottle in front of Rachel before opening the remaining bottle in her hand. She then tossed her beautiful curly hair and drank the water immediately.

She was so furious that she needed iced water to calm down.

After draining the bottle in half, she felt a little better.

She put the bottle on the table and sat down on the sofa. Then she asked Rachel, "What's going on between you and Jack?"

Rachel was about to say something in the car earlier but Lea interrupted her. Now, Lea was giving her a chance to speak.

"Calm down first, then I'll explain everything to you," answered Rachel.

Lea raised her chin and asked, "Don't I look calm?" She paused for a while, waiting for Rachel's reaction. When Rachel looked at her, she cleared her throat and continued, "Go ahead."

Rachel fell silent for a while. Apparently, she didn't know where to start. Lea urged her in a low voice, "Why don't you speak up? What the hell is going on?"

"Jack and I... There's nothing...

There's nothing between us," Rachel

stammered. "Nothing? Do you think I'm blind? He kissed you. And now you're telling me that there's nothing going on between you?"

"It was just a kiss." Rachel blushed so she turned her head to the other side to hide it. "Nothing else."

"Do you like him?" asked Lea seriously, her face looked sullen.

Rachel was shocked with the question. "No!" she snapped. Her answer was so quick that she sounded even guiltier. Obviously, Lea also noticed it.

"No," Rachel said again. This time, her voice was very low. She couldn't stand Lea's disdainful eyes.

"You're lying!"

"I mean it."

"I don't believe you!"

Rachel felt embarrassed as she buried her face in her two hands and whispered, "A little."

"What did he do to you?" Lea inquired curiously.

Rachel shook her head and replied, "Nothing. Don't think too much." Her delicate earlobes slightly turned rosy.

"You are the one who is thinking too much," Lea corrected her. "I just want to know if he drugged you or something. Why such a sudden change of heart? Didn't you dislike him before? What happened then?"

"I don't know." Rachel honestly didn't know how it happened. Actually, she also couldn't understand

what she really felt. She was a sensitive person when it came to love. She wouldn't just allow Jack to get close to her heart without any reason.

Maybe because Jack gave her too much warmth recently. He was doing a lot of things that made her change her impression towards him gradually.

She hadn't even realized that her feelings for him had already changed totally until only recently.

Rachel couldn't explain it so she felt embarrassed.

Lea was stunned. It seemed that Rachel had really fallen in love with him.

She grabbed the bottle of water on the table again and took some big gulps. Then she said, "Rachel, what are you talking about? Have you forgotten how scheming and tricky Jack is? And you know that he has a true love. Why do you let him bother you?"

"Do you mean Celine? They have completely broken up." Rachel just wanted to explain the real situation. However, it sounded more like an excuse to say something good about Jack.

Lea was so pissed off all of a sudden, but she controlled her emotion. Rachel had been blinded by love.

She knew that whatever she would tell Rachel now, it would be useless. Rachel wasn't willing to listen. So, she took a deep breath and kept quiet for a while. When she calmed down, she asked, "Are you really sure that Celine won't come back again? Is there no chance that they will get back together?" Rachel felt more embarrassed so she answered, "Jack and I are not in a real relationship."

"Are you hoping to have a real relationship with him?" Lea gave her an inquisitive look.

Her relationship with him seemed to have gotten more and more complicated. Rachel squeezed her forehead and bit her lips. Then she faltered, "I just like him a little."

Lea stared at Rachel for a long time. She couldn't help frowning.

She and Rachel grew up together. Needless to say, she knew Rachel very well since they were kids and she knew all the men she had dated.

When they were young, a few men had a crush on her. Some of them pursued her but none of them made her admit who she really liked.

Rachel was too shy to admit it.

The more Lea thought about it, the more upset she became. She was at a loss for a moment. She couldn't let Rachel totally fall on Jack.

Besides, Jack might have a card up his sleeve. He was able to make Rachel fall on him so easily. Perhaps it was because she didn't really get a chance to meet lots of men. Lea had finally made up her mind. She must separate them as soon as possible.
