My Darling, My Dearest novel Chapter 207

When the elevator doors closed, Jack's face looked a little sullen.

Looking at his reflection in the mirror, he pursed his lips. His face was cold as ice.

When he stepped out of the apartment building, his anger burst out like a balloon.

He looked back resentfully, trying to convince himself not to get mad at Rachel's attitude.

After all, that was how she really was. She never talked to him sweetly.

He sighed quietly. He couldn't help asking himself inwardly,

'Does Rachel really love me?'

But unfortunately, he couldn't find the answer in his heart.

Although she had never been jealous, it didn't necessarily mean that she didn't love him.

After closing the door, Rachel immediately felt sleepy as she began to yawn.

Her body clock was telling her to go to bed

now.

That was also the reason why she refused to go with Jack. She had no energy to go out at this time of the night.

Besides, he went out for business purposes. She thought that it would be meaningless if she got

herself involved in it.

But when she thought of his pitiful eyes earlier, she smiled in amusement. As she lay down on the bed, she couldn't help asking herself,

'Am I not afraid that Jack would hire a bar girl?'

After careful thought, she decided not to mind it. It would be better if she wouldn't know that Jack was cheating on her.

Then she remembered what James had told her.

He said that she was not the same person that he knew.

Was it true that she had changed a lot? She hadn't realized it. She should ask Jack about it sometime.

Eventually, she fell asleep without waiting for Jack to come back.

She didn't know how long had it been since she slept when she suddenly woke up. Subconsciously, she touched the space of the bed beside her.

It was cold and empty. Jack hadn't come back yet. All of a sudden, she didn't feel sleepy anymore.

She sat up and looked at her watch. It was nearly two o'clock in the morning.

After hesitating for a while, she decided to call him. Yet she heard his ringtone outside the bedroom.

Thinking that Jack might have fallen asleep in the living room, she walked out of the bedroom. Darkness met her outside.

But she saw a faint light flashing in a corner. The sound of his ringtone was coming from there.

When she came over to check it, she found out that Jack had left his phone.

Now, how could she contact him? She didn't know where he was and who was with him.

Rachel ended the call and sat on the sofa in a daze.

She got flustered in an instant. She should have made sure that Jack didn't forget anything before he went out.

Where was Jack right now? It was already very late, but he wasn't back yet.

Thinking about Jack being outside at this hour made her feel more anxious.

Rachel wanted to check his call log to see who he had talked with before going out, but his phone was locked, and she didn't know his password.

Since she didn't know what to do anymore, she decided to watch TV to kill time while waiting for him.

But not long after, she had fallen asleep again. When she opened her eyes, she seemed to have seen Jack's figure crouching on the sofa and asking her something.

She then felt that someone carried her and put her down gently in a soft bed.

Rachel was too sleepy, so she thought it was just a dream. She closed her eyes again and went back to sleep.

The next morning when she woke up, she wondered why she was already in bed. The last time she remembered, she was waiting for Jack in the living room. Then she recalled her dream last night. She realized it wasn't just a dream.

She turned her head, but there was no one beside her. She looked at her watch. It was already nine o'clock in the morning, so she decided to get out of bed.

Perplexity was written all over her face. If what happened last night was not a dream, why Jack wasn't beside her?

All of a sudden, she was overwhelmed with different emotions. She hurriedly went out of the bedroom. The whole apartment was so quiet.

"Jack?"

Rachel called Jack's name, but there was no reply. She checked his mobile phone on the sofa, but it wasn't there anymore.

She was in a daze for a while. Racking her brains, she tried to recall everything that happened last night, although she thought it was just a dream.

Last night, she made a coffee to keep herself awake.

But she was afraid that she wouldn't fall asleep the whole night, so she just put it down on the table.

She went to check the table, but the coffee wasn't there anymore. Now she was positive everything that happened last night wasn't a dream.

Rachel went back to the bedroom to get her

phone and tried to call Jack.
