My Darling, My Dearest novel Chapter 234

Howard had no idea how Jack got along with these two women. He didn't even know whether Rachel had known about Celine or not.

He was supposed to invite Rachel to get into his car, but he had realized that he still needed to deal with Celine's issue.

Rachel and Howard just happened to run into each other. Now, he found himself stuck as to what to do next.

He was informed that the man Celine had stabbed woke up. The police already on their way, and she was brought there to present her case.

Jack would also be present during the investigation.

Howard wasn't surprised.

The only thing he wasn't sure of was whether or not Rachel was already aware of that fact. He was holding two purses in his hands, but he had no idea which one of them belonged to Rachel.

He was originally planning to send both of the purses to Jack, but he didn't expect to run into Rachel. He decided to take advantage of this opportunity by asking her to take her stuff.

Howard knew that one of them belonged to Celine.

Realizing this, Howard just prayed in his heart that Rachel wouldn't find out who the other purse belonged to.

Besides, he didn't think that was possible in the first place. It would be impossible for Rachel to recognize whom the other purse belonged to.

When Howard pulled out two purses from his car, she was stunned.

"I was about to ask my driver to send your belongings to you,

but I happened to have something to attend to. I decided to bring them here," he explained.

He decided to leave out the fact that he was going to the hospital to give the other purse back to Celine.

Rachel ignored the other purse in his hand as she grabbed hers. "Thank you." She smiled.

He waved his hand dismissively. "I should be the one thanking you. You're the one who saved my son's life." As he said those words, Howard analyzed her expression.

At this point, he was safe now. However, he couldn't help but add, "Mrs. Fu, don't you want to check your belongings? Just to make sure if everything's there."

Rachel nodded. After all, what he said made a lot of sense. It would be awkward if they discovered that there was something missing after they went to their separate ways.

There was nothing special hidden in her purse. There were just a pair of earrings, a few credit cards, a little cash, and a diamond bracelet she had taken off.

The bracelet matched the earrings perfectly. Nothing was missing.

Rachel breathed a sigh of relief and pulled out her phone.

What was important right now was that her phone was still fixed after everything it had been through. It would be troubling if she had lost all her data.

However, when she took it out, her heart felt heavy.

'This isn't mine.'

Although it was the same brand and model, it appeared different from hers.

Just as Rachel was about to return it to Howard, the phone suddenly buzzed. She stared at the name on the screen. The caller ID was "Dearest Jack," and the picture that had appeared was of a man and a woman who were incredibly intimate with one another.

The man in the photo was none other than her husband.

Meanwhile, the woman in the photo was Celine.

Rachel finally figured out whose phone it was.

Howard furrowed his eyebrows. After seeing the Caller ID, he couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

"Mrs. Fu, this is..."

He didn't know how much of a coincidence this was. Hell, he had never thought this was going to happen. Although the purse was right, the phone in the purse was wrong! In fact, there was someone calling that phone right now.

"Mrs. Fu..." he called again but she waved her hand dismissively.

The corners of her lips curved up. "Don't speak."

His gaze was fixated on the screen in Rachel's hand. Howard quickly leaned forward and whispered to the driver.

As Rachel answered the phone, the partition in the car was slowly lifted.

Howard slowly opened the car door and stepped outside, giving her some space. She was grateful for his action.

She put it on speaker mode and heard Jack's anxious voice.

"Have you arrived yet?"

Rachel stared at the screen, wondering what was going on.

The sound of leather shoes stepping on the tiled floor echoed from the other end of the line. It seemed that Jack was pacing steadily. She just wasn't sure where he was headed to.
