My Darling, My Dearest novel Chapter 244

Director Yu had a talk with Holley. She shouldn't build a habit of taking a stranger into her hotel room, especially when she wasn't alone. Not only was it disrespectful for her roommate, but it could also give complications that neither of them would want.

Rachel didn't bother to listen in on their conversation. Instead, she made her room transfer permanent and made sure that she didn't bump into Holley in the future.

However, given that they would be working in the same place for the next few days, she wasn't sure if she could promise herself that.

Rachel called Eric to inform him of her abrupt change of schedule.

As for Jack, she already made up her mind that she wasn't going to text him.

Knowing nothing of the change in schedule, Jack thought that he could finally apologize to her once she returned.

In the past two days, he had already thought it over. Whether he cared for Celine or not, since he had already chosen Rachel, he shouldn't be involved with his ex. Jonathan had already been furious when he found out about Jack and Celine. He wagged his finger at his face and snapped, "If you really can't forget that woman, then the least you can do is not slap that fact in Rachel's face! She doesn't deserve any of this! You're a bastard!"

Jack wanted to defend himself, but he couldn't.

"When you had been with Celine during the four years, she hadn't done anything to bother you. We owe her for keeping up with an ass like you! " Jonathan slammed his fists on the table. The cup on the desk rattled from the impact. "You bastard! I have never met someone as stupid as you. Do you really think you can storm around the city with Celine in your arms?

You better think this through. End things with Celine. There is no way I would allow my daughter-in-law to reach the headlines of Ninwell City just because my own son can't keep it in his pants!"

In fact, ever since Jack's blunder, there had been plenty of gossip and speculations surrounding Rachel's existence.

Celine and Jack had been a public couple while Jack and Rachel had kept their relationship a secret. Now that everything was out in the open, it would be easy for reporters to find out the latter's past.

The media had always been sensitive when it came to marriages in rich families. In the past, Jonathan and Jack had tried every means in minimizing public impact on Rachel, but now, Jack's behavior was impulsive. In fact, he was even hypocritical enough to use Howard as an excuse to see Celine.

Now, Jack was determined that he could break up with Celine totally. Rachel had already suffered enough from the last four years.

Actually, if it weren't for the divorce agreement, they would've been cold and distant from each other now. It was either they continue with this coexistence or they would get divorce.

However, now, Jack was finally in the relationship he had always wanted.

But he was afraid that Rachel wouldn't be able to trust him anymore after what had happened.

Jack glanced at his phone, frowning when he didn't get any reply. All his calls were continually rejected.

A smile emerged in his lips. Well, it was better than her blackmailing him.

Jack stood still, staring through the window.

He used the time to glance at his phone,

scanning through his call records.

'I guess, this is progress, right?' The best he could do his comfort himself. Jack looked up. The skies were covered with clouds. As they moved with the sky, sunlight glistened throughout the window pane. Another day was coming.

Rachel was finally coming back, and he didn't know what to feel. However, one thing was for sure—he wanted to see her.

The next day, Jack got up early, shaved his face, and dressed himself. He was very intricate. He looked as if he was going to attend some important event.

However, after he got changed, he couldn't help but hesitate for a long time. He grabbed a magazine and tried to scan through the pages, but even as he did, he still couldn't pay attention.

He placed his magazine back on the table and glanced at his watch. Time was going so slow.

Jack didn't check when Rachel's plane was about to land.

He investigated with some of the hospital staff and learned that their group would set out from the airport of the neighboring province at 9 in the morning.

As for when they would land, he didn't bother to ask.

After thinking about it for a while, Jack decided to drive to Rachel's house and wait for her. He parked his car in the same place and decided to wait for her there.

He didn't bother to ask about her flight because he was afraid that if he arrived at the airport, Rachel would just up and leave.

She wouldn't be able to kick him out of the house if he was here.

When it was already half past nine, he checked his phone again and again. He had thought that she would be on the plane now, so he couldn't wait to see her.

Although they just hadn't seen each other in a few days, it felt like a year had passed.

At this time, in a city of the neighboring province, the leader had already finished counting the numbers. He returned to his position, and the driver slowly started the bus and left.

It was very quiet in the bus. People were busy playing with phones and listening to music.
