My Darling, My Dearest novel Chapter 18

Before she could finish her words, she saw that Jack lifted the quilt and lay down in the bed. He didn't say anything to her as if not giving a care in the world.

Rachel almost clapped her hands when she saw this. If he had acted like this earlier, then she wouldn't have needed to say such embarrassing nonsense.

As Rachel went to turn off the lights, she realized that it might be a bit difficult for her to fall asleep tonight.

Noticing that the other side of the bed beside him had sunk slightly, Jack slowly opened his eyes which were as silent and dark as midnight.

Rachel slowly pulled the quilt closer to her as she got under the sheets.

Ten minutes later, Jack still couldn't fall asleep and wondered whether Rachel had already fallen asleep beside him.

Half an hour later, Jack opened his eyes again, but this time he turned his body from lying on his back to facing Rachel.

As he turned his body to face Rachel's, he could smell a faint and pleasant fragrance coming from her.

He felt very comfortable and slowly closed his ■3

eyes. He hadn't been in a relationship with any other woman since he got together with Celine.

But in the end, when Celine found out that he was a married man, she refused to let him touch her no matter what he said to try and coax her.

"If you really respect me, then you should be fine with not sleeping together until after the divorce." That was what Celine had said to him.

At that time, Jack had treated Celine as a priceless treasure and agreed with whatever she said.

As if he had owed her in his previous life, she had owned him during this lifetime. He had never been this obedient to any woman before, but Celine was different.

Because of her, he had been living a life without sex for five years.

Who would believe it?

Under the blanket of the night, Jack flashed a mocking smile silently.

In fact, Rachel didn't sleep. She kept her eyes open in the darkness. It wasn't because she didn't want to sleep. But every time she closed her eyes in the silence of the night, she could hear the slight breathing not far from her.

She couldn't fall asleep. As soon as she closed her eyes, she felt his breathing become heavy as she'd grow scared.

To distract herself, Rachel turned to her side with her back facing Jack.
