My Darling, My Dearest novel Chapter 198

After saying goodbye, Lea already hung up.

She didn't want Jack to hear what she was about to say.

Given that he wasn't about to leave, she decided to talk to Rachel some other time.

However, in Rachel's mind, she thought that the reason her best friend hung up on her was because she didn't like Jack. She sighed.

Her eyes clouded over as she thought of ways to try and bridge the gap between them.

Jack leaned against her. "What's wrong? Why do you look so upset?"

Rachel shook her head, not wanting to talk about it. "Aren't you supposed to be in the company? Why did you come back so soon?" she asked.

He released her and waved the ticket at her face with a grin. "Mrs. Fu," he said so seriously that she had to giggle. "Mr. Fu sincerely invites you to join him in his visit to Mosa City for three days. Will you kindly accept his invitation?"

Rachel took the ticket from his hand. Their flight was already scheduled for tomorrow morning. Although he had already told her about this before, she didn't expect that they would go there so soon.

Now that Lea's matter had been settled, she thought that it was time for some relaxation.

"Yes, I do."

Hearing her words, Jack was more than pleased. He took hold of her soft hand and smiled bitterly. "Come with me."

'I do.'

He never expected that she would give him the same reply as she did back in their wedding. He couldn't help but think back to the occasion.

It wasn't a wedding. Technically, it was just a big party where everyone could have their fair share of fun. In fact, everyone did have fun except for the couple.

Nobody really thought that the two could get married. Only their parents thought it was a match made from heaven.

Even they didn't think that at all. Once they got their marriage certificate, they reverted back to unfamiliar strangers who acted accordingly to the circumstances they were placed in.

Jack had always wanted to hold a formal wedding for Rachel — a real one and not just the stuffy banquet they had back then. He wanted to propose to her once they made their relationship public.

Eric had been busy with his work. After completing an important project with his team, he went back home and fell asleep in no time.

After a day of sleep, he woke up from a phone call from his colleague. "Hello?" he said in a panicked voice.

"Is there something wrong with the project?

Should I go there now?"

His colleague snorted. "We're done with the project, dude. I'm downstairs. How about let's go grab some food?" he suggested. They lived right across each other, so it was easy to hang out from time to time. Eric's stomach growled at the thought of eating, so he agreed.

After cleaning himself up, he went downstairs. "Project, huh? Still recovering from the trauma?" he teased.

Eric rolled his eyes as they headed to a nearby restaurant. "Shut it, man."

After adjusting to his work environment, he had gotten along with his colleagues. In fact, if Rachel could see this, she would be proud of him. In fact, he planned to visit her once he had dinner.

Just then, he heard something from the other table. "Hey, did you know? Our vice president has long been married?"

"Vice president? Who is it?"

Eric continued eating, not really interested with their gossip.

"Jack Fu! Who else?"

He suddenly choked on his rice. Eric coughed violently as he patted his chest. His colleague quickly handed him a glass of water.

"What's wrong? Drink some water."

Eric waved his hand as tears blurred his vision. After a while, he finally calmed down and grabbed the water from his colleague's hand.

Once he took a sip, he glanced at the other men in the next table. "What did you say just now?"

The person was stunned for a moment before he responded, "Oh, we were just talking about our vice president."

Everyone in the company knew that GA Technology's vice president was also the CEO of MK Group.

Eric blinked. "He's married?"

His voice made it seem as if he had just been betrayed by the woman he loved.

The man next to him scoffed jokingly, "Isn't that a bit much? Why are you overreacting?"

Eric's mind went blank. He had been burying his head under piles of work that he had no idea what was happening outside. After throwing his tissue away, he stood up. "I have something to deal with now. I'll go first."

However, before he could stand up, someone pressed him back to his seat. It was none other than Michael. He stood beside Eric as he cocked up an eyebrow. "What's the rush? Besides, hasn't Jack been married a long time ago?"

People around them nodded. When he wasn't working, Michael had made sure to forge good relationships with his employees. That was why it wasn't a surprise that he was here.

The person who organized the dinner stood up and greeted him, "Mr. Du."

He immediately asked the waiter to pull up another set of tableware. Soon enough, the
