My Darling, My Dearest novel Chapter 200

Michael happened to come over that day and overheard the conversation among his employees.

Seeing the surprised expression written all over Eric's face, Michael guessed that he didn't know about the news.

Since Jack asked him to take care of Eric, Michael felt that it was his duty to reassure the man.

Plus, he liked watching dramas unfold. Although he might sympathize with Jack's hardships in trying to pursue his wife, he couldn't help but be entertained by the man's antics.

Michael had always disliked Celine, so when he heard that they broke up, he was ecstatic.

He was also very pleased that Jack finally got together with Rachel.

What he didn't expect was for their relationship to develop so fast. In fact, he didn't know what Jack was thinking when he decided to out their relationship under the public's scrutiny.

So far, the internet was still releasing bits and pieces about Rachel, and not the entire thing.

It was not that others couldn't take photos or find evidence of Rachel's existence, but as long as they didn't get any approval, it was as if those photos don't even exist. No one dared to reveal her information.

Michael reassured him, "Don't worry. He won't bully Rachel."

He would only make her his woman.

Eric pursed his lips. He knew that Michael was Jack's friend, so he would put in a good word for Jack.

Although he knew exactly what he was thinking, Michael chose to ignore him and chatted with the others.

Unlike the people who couldn't believe that Jack was finally with Rachel, Michael had expected from the very start that they were meant to be.

He knew Jack well enough to know what he wanted,

and it seemed that time would tell.

If they weren't right for each other, they would've already separated after a few years of being together, but it seemed the years between Jack and Rachel had only brought them closer.

After taking a shower and eating dinner, they went out of the hotel. The air here was much cooler than in Ninwell City.

Jack didn't really have the chance to tour around the ancient city, given that he usually came here to watch over his project.

Although the sightseeing areas around the ancient city weren't as extravagant as other well-known monuments, there were still plenty of interesting places that they had to see.

Ever since the development of the resort, different kinds of livelihood conditions had been

promoted around the area.

Once the man-in-charge heard that they wanted to sightsee in the evening, he immediately arranged a guide to introduce them to all the places they could see.

He gave them a map and made sure to circle all the restaurants that they just had to try.

That map saved them so much time from asking questions.

There was something so strange and exciting in touring the city at night. Before they went out, they made sure to match their shirts. In fact, as they exited the hotel, they looked like one of those touristy couples.

Their shirts were sewn by hand and embroidered with detailed totems.

Rachel had studied the totems as she was going out. She pursed her lips, not really sure what animal it represented.

The fabric and the embroidery were the best. In fact, under the cold weather, the fabric provided a sense of warmth. Although it was already night time, the streets were ablaze with light and the music thumped along to her heartbeat.

"The party being held here is used to invite the gods," Jack explained as a smile tugged his lips.

Crowds of people could be seen from left and right as they held onto their shopping bags and yelled at the top of their lungs. Everyone was brought to life with the lively drumbeat.

Although the shops were closed, the small

stalls were bustling as everyone tried to squeeze their way into the alleyways.

As they followed the crowd, they found that there was a temple at the other end of the road. People walked all the way to offer incense sticks to the gods above.

At the entrance of the temple were rows of offerings. There were different types of tributes as the candles glowed in the dark.

A group of children ran towards them, waving their luminous sticks up in the air. Seeing them coming towards her, Jack pulled her over, protecting her from bumping into them.

Suddenly, the sound of drums reverberated across the alleyway.

Rachel leaned into Jack's arm in shock as men's voices echoed throughout the temple.

She gazed blankly at the direction of the voices.

It seemed that the ceremony had officially begun. "Come on," he whispered as he took her forward, protecting her as they squeezed through the crowd.

There were stalls at both ends selling some gadgets and toys for kids.
