My Darling, My Dearest novel Chapter 167

Rona and Jack sat face to face in a relatively quiet corner of a cafe.

She was a little nervous as she told him random stories about Celine.

The truth was, she wanted to confirm if Jack and Celine had really broke up.

But she was too scared to ask him directly, so all she did was beat around the bush.

Jack knew that since they'd broke up, Celine had been looking for ways to return to him. However, he had always avoided her.

His patience had worn out and he would not get back together with her.

He didn't even touch the coffee in front of him as he tried to listen to her. Eventually, he said impatiently, "Thank you for the information, but there's really no need for you to tell me about her." He pushed the cup of coffee slightly and stood up. "I've already paid for the coffee. I have something else to do, so I'm leaving now."

Rona was a little stunned. Jack's attitude seemed to have confirmed one thing.

She also stood up and looked at him with widened eyes. "Did you break up with Celine?" she asked nervously.

Her voice was a little loud and it attracted the attention of other customers.

Jack frowned with displeasure. Rona apologized immediately in a low voice, "I'm sorry. My voice was too loud."

Jack didn't answer her question directly but simply said, "She has her own life and I have mine too. Miss Zhou, please tell her that since she knows me well, she should know that I don't change my mind easily."

Rona wasn't actually interested in relaying his message to Celine. She was more interested in something else. So she grasped the edge of the table, took a deep breath and bit her lower lip before she asked, "Is it because of Rachel?"

Hearing her words, Jack looked at her coldly. "My private affairs have nothing to do with you."

It was clearly a warning. Rona immediately understood it so she didn't dare to ask more.

Her lips curved into a forced smile and she apologized again awkwardly, "Sorry. I'm so sorry."

For the last time, Jack said again, "I'm leaving." He then turned and walked away without looking back.

Rona watched his receding back with a complicated look on her face.

Her heart filled with different emotions. She thought of Celine first, then of Rachel.

She realized, Jack would only stop being cold if he was in front of the woman he liked.

Jealousy immediately overwhelmed her heart. She started to feel restless and uneasy.

'Miss Zhou?' The way he called her earlier stung

her heart.

'When he is in front of Rachel, he smiles tenderly. But he used to be indifferent and disgusted with her.

What on earth did she do to him?1

Her gripped on the table tightened. If the table was not made of steel, she might have already broken it.

But on the bright side, at least she had gotten a piece of good news.

She was able to confirm that Jack had indeed broken up with Celine.

When she thought of how Celine would always show off about how obsessed Jack was to her and his attitude just now when he mentioned Celine, Rona wanted to laugh out loud.

If she had recorded everything, she would play it in front of Celine. She was curious about how Celine would react and defend herself in front of her.

Rona and Celine were actually good friends. However, Rona had her own motive for being friends with her.

She was more into the benefits. Since Celine was in a relationship with Jack back then, she befriended Celine to have a chance to get close to him. Moreover, her family could also benefit from it.

However, Celine hadn't really treated her as a friend. She was more like a nanny and a shock absorber especially when Celine and Jack quarreled.

Sometimes, she was like a garbage bin where Celine would pour out all her anger.

Rona always felt uncomfortable especially when it came to Jack.

Because of that, the seed of jealousy and greed started to grow deep inside her heart. And as days passed, it was slowly eating her up.

But of course, she didn't dare to show her true feelings in front of Celine.

Now that Jack and Celine had finally broken up and Celine left Ninwell City, she felt a little hopeful. However, Jack and Rachel were together now.

Men were indeed fickle creatures.

Since Rachel, who he disliked before, was able to win his heart, it could possibly happen to her too.
