My Darling, My Dearest novel Chapter 226

Thankfully, Jack's superior memory allowed him to eventually remember who the man in front of him was.

He was the same man who sent flowers to Celine several times when he was still with her.

'Why did she ended up with this guy?' Jack wondered to himself. A brief astonishment flashed across his eyes, but he quickly recovered and returned to normal.

Even though it was but a momentary surprise, Baron caught it on Jack's face and he instantly changed his countenance to a mocking look.

He also wrapped his arm around Celine's waist and pulled her tightly to him. He then rubbed his chin arrogantly as he stared at Jack.

He was visibly pompous as he mockingly looked at Jack as if he achieved something spectacular.

Unknown to Baron, Celine felt extremely embarrassed with what he was doing.

And this was how the situation reversed itself without warning.

Celine used to think that Baron was romantic and sweet, and it was this wrong first impression on him that made her feel embarrassed at that moment. She couldn't even dare to look at Jack straight in the eye.

Celine's mind was in such a mess. The situation caught her off guard. She felt so resentful and hated Baron for arriving at the worst possible time.

Her only hope was that Jack would not ask or say anything about the situation, and that she could leave from that place as soon as possible.

She knew that she had to come up with another way to please Jack again. All of her best cards were messed up by Baron's sudden appearance.

Unfortunately, what Celine wanted was completely different from what Baron wanted. Unlike her, he was eager to take her tightly by the arm and parade her off in front of Jack.

Sometimes, a man's pride can be greatly affected by his self-esteem. Baron basked in the brief surprised look that Jack had on his face when he held Celine in his arms.

In his mind, Baron believed that the reason why Jack looked that way was because he felt jealous with what he saw.

Jack's ex-girlfriend was now in his arms, and Jack and Celine had been together for four years.

Baron laughed and snorted in his mind as he satisfied himself in the thought that Jack was steaming in jealousy as he watched them.

"Mr. Fu, do you have a habit of putting your arms around another man's girlfriend?"

Baron asked with eyes filled with contempt. In Jack's mind, however, it was not even worth his time to answer.

Jack didn't even think that it was worth it to reply to him. Baron felt that Jack was about to say something to him and expectantly waited for it with such yearning in his heart.

However, to his surprise, Jack turned around and left with a bored look on his face. Baron's mocking look suddenly evaporated. He suddenly felt belittled by Jack.

Baron let go of Celine, his face grim with disappointment and embarrassment. He then walked towards Jack who strode briskly away from him. "Mr. Fu! Are you leaving without giving me an explanation?"

Jack paused and glanced scornfully at Baron and Celine. "I have nothing to say to the likes of you."

Celine was stunned by the way Jack looked at them and felt so embarrassed and ashamed at the same time that she looked away.

Baron snorted in contempt at Jack's statement. "I heard that you were both present at that time. Perhaps your secret date was discovered, so you hurt that man and called Celine to take the blame."

Jack's mouth twitched as he visibly tried to hold back his laughter. He tried to maintain an expressionless face, but found it so hard in the face of Baron's sheer stupidity.

'Is this man mad? How could he come up with such a ridiculous idea?' Jack wondered.

He curled his lips in contempt. "If you have a mental health issue, take some medicine before appearing in public. You're just making yourself look like a bigger fool than you already are."

He then turned and was about to leave, but Baron called out to him from behind. "Don't try to pretend that you are so noble. Swear to me that you don't have any feelings for Celine!"

His roaring voice echoed through the corridor.

Although most of the policemen considered it an idol scene, some of the ones on duty decided to remind them about where they were. "Excuse me, gentlemen. You need to take your problem somewhere else to solve it. You cannot make any commotion in here."

It was the policeman who brought Baron in from outside.

However, what no one expected to happen

was that Jack stopped, and this made Celine's heart skip a beat as she gasped. Her eyes seem to twinkle as she stared at Jack's back.

And then, at almost the same time, Rachel swung her dress and approached slowly with a calm and cool manner that no one in there expected.

Jack was the tallest man inside and Rachel recognized him immediately at a glance.

At that time, Jack turned around as Rachel approached, and she heard what Baron said just in time.

Rachel then wondered what Jack planned to do when he paused and turned.

She paused and immediately saw Celine and her burning gaze through the crowd.

It was just a short distance, but it felt like they were separated by thousands or mountains and rivers.

It was like there was a huge gap in front of her and she couldn't see the way forward clearly.

She stood dazed as she imagined that she'd see the scene where Jack would walk towards Celine.

She then saw Jack take a step forward, slightly lower his head and whisper something in Baron's ear.

Celine half expected that Jack would walk over to her as she watched him move forward, but instead he stopped to say something to Baron.
