My Darling, My Dearest novel Chapter 215

As Jack stepped out of the shower, he noticed that Rachel was drying her hair.

He approached her slowly. She looked up at him and continued nonchalantly.

He grabbed the towel and said, "Let me do this for you."

She stared at the mirror attentively to check how he was carefully helping her wipe her hair. They looked like any other couple with a bond extending to many decades.

After having done half the task, he sought refuge in the hair dryer to complete his task. His method was a little clumsy but gentle.

He could feel her aroma filling the room as he put the hair dryer back to its place.

There was a sudden change in his mood. After seeing the pregnancy test kit, he suddenly remembered something.

Jack wasn't entirely sure of telling her about this, so he turned to look at her and said,

"Rachel, you..." He paused abruptly as he ran out of words.

He wanted to know if Rachel wished for a baby.

Jack concealed something from her.

He had already done a ligation operation years

ago.

He did it for Celine's sake. During that time, he couldn't marry Celine and she was frustrated about it. He also had perpetual disputes with her due to Rachel.

He couldn't bear Celine's tears. He was grief-stricken because of it. On the third day when he returned, he showed her that ligation certificate.

For a man, this was not a petty matter.

He had concealed the truth from everyone. None but the surgeon and Celine were aware of it.

If his father ever got a whiff of it, the consequences would have been disastrous.

Even Jack had no idea how he could've been so crazy back then.

As Celine's tears and accusations compounded, he was coerced to undergo the ligation operation.

The moment when he showed Celine the certificate, she was stunned with joy and panic in her heart.

She was delighted that Jack was willing to do this for her. She was simultaneously worried that if the Fu family knew about it, she would be cursed and blamed.

Since he had conducted the operation, she would never be pregnant even if they had sex.

But that also meant that other women wouldn't be pregnant either if he had slept with them.

Her status couldn't be altered. Besides, Celine was sure that Jack wouldn't have an affair with any other woman.

He was so deeply in love with her

that he would give up his own children without any hesitation. After so many years,

Celine had reached the understanding that she could handle him really well.

But she hadn't anticipated that they would break up due to her intense greed.

The single most important reason for their break-up could be summed up in just one thing—her greed.

Celine regretted it eventually, but she consoled herself by believing that the time she had spent with him was worth a lifetime.

She had seen more when she had been with him than during the rest of her lifetime.

She simply wanted more and more. However, Jack turned out to be not so accommodative to her demands.

He refused to give her a formal title and she had to bear that humiliation throughout the course of their relationship.

It made her angry and agitated, which she wasn't able to express in any form.

Therefore, when another man courted her, Celine didn't refuse him though she didn't say yes either.

Her attitude seemed ambiguous. She knew how to manipulate the man.

And it could arouse Jack's possessive desire for her. That was her ultimate aim.

But fate had other ideas for her as her plan failed miserably. At this point, it was impossible for Celine not to regret having lost him, but it was just going to be a regret as the opportunity to return to him had long gone.

What disturbed her the most was that it was Rachel who had substituted her.

Why did it have to be Rachel?

She had been jealous of this woman for four years. But she was also complacent about it because she had won a firm hold of Jack. She had been arrogant towards her for four years.

She felt so proud and pleased just because she could trample that woman under her feet.

No matter what an outstanding woman Rachel was, Jack had chosen Celine, a hotel waitress. That was something Celine was proud of.

But now, after they broke up, Jack returned to Rachel voluntarily. How could Celine not be furious about it?

It was as if Rachel was taking a revenge on her for the many years of misery.

He and his wife continued to live their lives to the fullest.
