My Darling, My Dearest novel Chapter 229

Celine's tears flowed freely down her cheeks and they made her look miserable and pitiful.

Baron was not able to say anything. The entire time, he had thought that Celine accompanied Jack to the police station.

Or that maybe they were both arrested while they were together.

And either one of these scenarios where unbearable for Baron. He never received any information about why Jack and Celine were at the police station while he drove all the way there in his car.

But now that he knew the truth of what really happened. It was actually his buddy who had tried to violate his woman.

Baron felt extremely ashamed of himself and how he acted earlier. He had even planned to have a huge fight with Celine to boost up his damaged ego.

But after he heard the story of what really happened, he was too ashamed to admit his fault. The sight of Celine looking so helpless and pathetic made him feel so sorry for her. He slowly reached out his hands to her and pulled her close to him. "I'm so sorry, honey. I should not have been so mean to you earlier." Celine immediately lowered her head and closed her eyes to hide the disgust that she felt. She leaned her head forward into his arms, accidentally hitting the area where he was punched.

Baron gasped in pain. She pretended not to hear him and immediately started to cry loudly.

Her loud crying made Baron feel so guilty. He gritted his teeth hard and endured all the pain.

He pretended to be a tender and good boyfriend to her as he gently comforted her. He apologized to her gently.

His attitude changed so suddenly, and Celine took advantage of this by bending over to his shoulder and sobbed.

Her eyes were filled with indifference. She knew his biggest weakness was his keen on facesaving.

And the knowledge gave Celine the advantage and ability to manipulate him.

In the meantime, Rachel took a shower and then changed into her pajamas afterwards. She sat on the bed as she wiped her long hair with a soft towel.

When Jack could no longer wait anymore, he approached the bedroom door and knocked. It was just when Rachel's hair was already half dry. The sound of his knocking suddenly paralyzed Rachel, and for a moment, her hands seemed like they were frozen in place. She turned her head slightly away from the door and ignored him. She then continued to dry her hair.

Outside the room, Jack patiently waited for a response to his knocking. Even after a time of getting no response, he still continued to knock on the door.

But Rachel never responded to the knocking. She continued with her own business and took out the hair drier. She tried to convince herself that she was not supposed to feel anxious. That she should remain calm.

The knocking on the bedroom door continued for a while and then stopped.

Rachel stopped when the knocking stopped. She strained her ears and listened carefully for any sound that came from the door. She didn't know if Jack left or not.

After a few moments of listening, she heard no other sound that came from the door.

She hesitated for a while and then forced herself to smile bitterly. 'He doesn't even have the patience to coax me,' she thought.

She convinced herself that she could easily remain calm. However, after she had finished, she was eager to hear Jack knock again, but the knock never came. She expected him to explain to her what really happened. On the way home, Jack looked like he wanted to say something, and Rachel was able to see this right away. But when they got home, she closed the door to the bedroom and left him outside.

She then wondered if he gave up that easily.

She felt depressed. Her mind was in such a mess from the events at the police station. She felt like there was a lump stuck in her throat. She felt so wronged that she wanted to cry out.

Meanwhile, outside the bedroom, Jack sat on the sofa and turned to the bedroom door from time to time. His injury had started to swell, and his handsome face was slightly deformed. The swelling made him look a little funny.

But he never thought about applying medicine to his face, nor did he care about the discomfort and embarrassment that he felt. He felt at a loss merely sitting on the sofa.

He did not dare to push the door open and had to sit quietly and patiently until Rachel calmed down and came out of the bedroom herself. He planned to knock on the door once more at a later time.

And Jack was not a fool. He could easily figure out why she was upset with him.

It was because she was completely right. What he did was a bad decision. He could have asked anyone to accompany Celine to the police station, but he felt softhearted at the time. So, he decided to accompany her himself.

And during that time, he did forget that Rachel was still at the hospital. He knew that no matter how hard he explained what happened, it was all useless.

She said that he made her look like an idiot.

When he finished thinking about the events that happened, he lowered his head and accidentally rubbed his hand on his face. He suddenly gasped from the pain. He almost forgot that his face was wounded.

Then he smiled bitterly to himself once more. He leaned back at the backrest of the sofa and stared up at the chandelier on the ceiling with a blank expression on his face.

He waited patiently for her to calm down as he sat on the sofa.

He turned to the closed bedroom door, and suddenly felt unsure if Rachel would calm down soon or not.

Based on what he remembered about her character, one possibility why she was angry with him was because he failed to keep his promise to her. The other reason could be because she rushed to the police station, very concerned about his safety only to find that he was there with Celine. He considered all of the different possibilities, but he still didn't get the point.

He waited for her to come out.

The lawyer called from the police station and informed Jack that Celine had been bailed out. They had to wait for the injured victim to wake up first and plan what had to be done next.

He moved his lips and wanted to say something, but nothing came out.

He swallowed heavily and punched the wall in irritation. "I see," he replied in an indifferent tone.

When Jack was about to end the call, the lawyer stopped him. He seemed to have something urgent to say to Jack. "Mr. Fu, please wait a moment."

"Is there anything else?" Jack asked impatiently as he retracted his finger from the red button that would end the call.

"Well, Miss Duan wants to talk to you."

He immediately refused without hesitation. "There's no need. You can handle everything yourself. If there is nothing else, I will end the call."

The lawyer immediately felt a little embarrassed. "Okay, I understand."

"Thank you." The lawyer turned around after the call was ended. He looked a little embarrassed when he turned to the woman who expectantly looked forward to take the phone from him. He brought a balled fist to his lips and coughed lightly. "Miss Duan, Mr. Fu has hung up the phone."

The pretty woman's face darkened instantly. Tears welled up in her beautiful eyes. Her delicate appearance looked heartbreaking.
