My Darling, My Dearest novel Chapter 168

Jack had shown his intentions bluntly.

He pressed on Rachel again, with one hand slowly creeping towards her back. She grasped the sheet tightly.

Although his action was overbearing, she still had enough space to turn away. And she also knew that he wouldn't insist if she wasn't willing to do it.

However, she didn't have the strength to stop him. The next moment, his kiss deepened as he pulled her into his arms.

A part of her mind was reminding her to get away and not surrender to him so soon.

A little voice at the back of her mind said, "It's dangerous!" A "DANGER!" sign flashed through her mind.

Was she now ready to have sex with him?

However, her heart said that she was willing to be with him.

She was ready to be captured by the love net that he weaved.

Actually, Jack also gave her the opportunity to dodge and escape. But when his hand gradually fondled some delicate area and his lips started to taste the different parts of her body, she stayed in his arms without any resistance.

Her obedience and acquiescence ignited the fire in Jack and encouraged him to continue.

He had been waiting for this for a long time. The willingness that Rachel showed made him the happiest man tonight. Finally, he didn't need to rely on his schemes and tricks to pursue her.

All his efforts had paid off. Those little things and changes he did to show her the real him made Rachel come out of her thick shell and eventually opened her heart to him.

As a matter of fact, he had given Rachel a chance to get rid of him. But her actions proved that she was now willing to be with him.

A few moments later, they both fell into the bed, with bodies still entangled.

As the night grew deeper, the rain started to fall again outside.

The temperature felt like it was already spring.

All of a sudden, the surroundings changed.

Rachel's dream brought her back to her childhood, during the time when she was brought to the Fu family.

It was dark outside. Little raindrops started to fall on the surface of the sea. The tiny sailboats were swaying slightly to the cold night breeze.

Jonathan liked Rachel so much. He always held her in his arms, taught her how to play Chinese chess, and read her bedtime stories before going to sleep.

On that night, they were on her bed. With a book in his hand, he started to read her a story. "The general pulled out a broadsword and hacked down..."

"Ha-ha!" A sudden burst of laughter was heard from the door. Rachel turned her gaze from the old man to the door. There, she saw a strange boy who was looking at her with a wicked smile.

Upon seeing him, Jonathan asked, "Michael, when did you arrive? Come here."

At this time, another boy showed up behind Michael. He was holding a basketball in his hands.

At her very young age, Rachel thought that he was handsome. But she also felt that he was not easy to get along with.

Michael and the boy went inside the room together. It was her first time to meet them.

"This is Rachel," Jonathan introduced.

Michael stared at her for a while. He then raised his hand to touch his head, with a puzzled look on his face. "Where did she come from? Uncle Jonathan, you have another child?" he asked.

The girl was about seven or eight years old. But he never heard that Jonathan had another child after Jack was born.

While Michael was lost in thought, Jonathan suddenly struck him on the head and said, "You brat! Don't think too much."

Michael scratched his head and smiled embarrassingly. On the other hand, Jack just stood there quietly while staring at Rachel indifferently.

When Rachel felt his gaze, she became nervous. She couldn't help grasping the book in her hand tightly.

Jonathan then turned to her and coaxed her, "Rachel, this is Michael and this is Jack. Introduce yourself to them."

Rachel was too nervous to speak up, so after coaxing her for a while, Jonathan put a candy in her hand as an advance reward. She held the candy and started stammering, "I... I am Rachel Shen. Nice to meet you."

"Ha-ha!" Michael burst out laughing again.

Feeling embarrassed, Rachel's cheeks flushed. Michael was struck on the head again.

This time, it wasn't Jonathan who hit him, but Jack.

Rubbing his head, he turned to look at Jack confusedly. He murmured some incomprehensible words. Rachel found his expression amusing but she tried her best not to laugh.

Jack raised his hand again and it moved towards Rachel. She felt nervous in an instant so she slightly shrank away from him.

But to her surprise, Jack put his hand on her head and rubbed her hair gently.

Rachel was slightly stunned but she still looked up at him. Jack was still wearing the same cold expression on his face.
