My Darling, My Dearest novel Chapter 17

"At home?" Rachel was momentarily stunned. "Which home?"

Jack strode over to the nearby sofa and leisurely sat down as he crossed his arms. He slowly glanced over at Rachel with his deep eyes and asked, "How many homes do you have?"

The Fu family house, of course.

Rachel was a little taken aback and confused by what he said. She walked towards Jack and sat down next to him slowly. "What? I don't understand what you mean. What are you talking about?"

Jack pursed his lips slightly and stood up impatiently, clearly annoyed. "It's my father's idea, you can talk to him if you don't want to stay."

It could be seen as clear as day that Jack was also reluctant to accept his father's idea.

The content of Jonathan's talk with his son just now was nothing more than his marriage with Rachel, to help Jack realize his mistakes.

Jack's face was sullen. He was extremely annoyed not just from his father's idea, but also because of Celine's horrible temper.

He didn't have the heart to do anything to Celine, but he also didn't have the patience to keep on coaxing her. Celine was the bane of his existence, she was born to torture him.

He left Celine's place in rage and decided to ■3

head straight home.

Right after Jack left her place, Celine had called his phone but he refused to answer. She called him again for the second time. He answered and said coldly over the phone, I'll be going home with Rachel tonight."

As he expected, Celine had hung up the phone immediately.

Patience was never Jack's strong suit. Celine had been causing trouble to him these past few days and he was starting to get worn out. He didn't even try to coax her this time.

Tracy hurriedly asked the servants to clean up the room for her son.

This bedroom used to be Jack's room and after he got married, he and Rachel stayed in this room when they lived here.

However, for the past five years, they had never once stepped into this room together.

As for staying overnight, Rachel was incredibly uncomfortable with the idea as she sighed to herself with reluctance just as Jack went to the bathroom to take a shower.

She started pacing back and forth in the room several times with great anxiety. The situation here was quite different from her actual house.

She could decide to sleep on the sofa at her house, and there was no spare quilt here for one of them to sleep on the floor.

There was only one choice, they had to sleep in the bed together for tonight. ■3

This was the most annoying thing for Rachel at the moment. She wasn't comfortable with being so close to someone or sleeping in the same bed with someone she hardly knew.

There was a time when she went out for training in another province and had to stay in the same dorm room with her colleague. Rachel didn't think it was that serious at first, but after a month she was at the end of her ropes. She felt like her privacy was violated.

Rachel had very shallow sleep the first few nights and would always be awakened by nightmares. Her colleague was also horrible to be in the same room with. There were nights when her colleague's hand was on Rachel's chest or a foot on Rachel's stomach.

Rachel couldn't sleep well for that entire month. Every night she slept was like a living nightmare.

Later on, Rachel's problem got even worse and she was never able to get over it.
