My Darling, My Dearest novel Chapter 246

Misunderstandings Between Us

Eric gazed at Jack strangely. "Don't you know?" "About what?"

"Nothing." Immediately, Eric smoothed his hair, trying to cover the smirk on his face.

Jack frowned. "What's wrong? Tell me."

It seemed that Rachel didn't bother to tell him of her abrupt change of schedule.

'No wonder he came here early in the morning. He doesn't know that Rachel isn't coming back today. They must've had a fight,' Eric thought.

Now, he just felt sorry for him. 'Is Rachel going to dump him?'

He crossed his arms over his chest. "You broke up with each other?"

Jack sneered at Eric's comments. "I won't give up that easily."

Eric scoffed. "Do you even know Rachel? You may not be ready to give up, but I don't think she is the same."

His words were like bullets through Jack's heart. His face hardened, and he didn't say a word.

The noise from the washing machine was the only sound echoing across the household. Eric stared at the machine for a while before he turned to Jack.

He gazed at the floor. Not being able to take it anymore, he looked up at him.

"Hey!''

Jack raised his head, indicating that he was listening.

Eric turned to look at Jack. After a few minutes of contemplation, he continued, "Are you going to wait for Rachel here?"

Jack nodded. "What time will she land?"

Finally not able to take it anymore, he burst into laughter. "She won't be landing today. Didn't she tell you?"

At his words, Jack stood up.

His gaze darkened. "What did you say?"

"She's not done with her job yet."

"When will she come back?"

Eric cocked up an eyebrow. "Am I her keeper?"

Jack didn't answer his question. Instead, he repeated, "When will she come back?" Eric just laughed in reply. He couldn't help but feel sorry for the man in front of him. He looked like a dog who was waiting for his master to return.

However, before Eric could say anything, Jack already turned and left.

"Hey!" he called. "Don't you want to know when she'll come back?"

Jack turned. "I'll ask her myself."

Seeing this, he had no plans of asking Eric of Rachel's whereabouts. He might just continue laughing at his face.

That just pissed Eric off even more. 'I'll complain to Rachel, you son of a bitch!

Let's see how you fare. Don't look so arrogant!'

The rain continued pouring on the little town.

The dormitory Rachel was residing in wasn't good. In fact, it wafted off this moist scent that she couldn't get off. Although the room was clean and ventilated, it still felt stuffy.

Rachel put down her luggage and turned on the ventilator.

Outside, the rain slammed against the windowpane heavily as thunder crackled around the outskirts of the province.

Luckily, each person was assigned to one room, so there was no need to share.

Seeing as they might need to stay here for a few more days, she cleaned up the room herself, making sure that everything was organized and set up.

Sweat beaded down her neck.

Rachel was about to clean herself up when someone knocked on the door.

She buttoned up her vest once again before calling out, "Who's there?"

No one responded. The person knocked on the door again.

"Who's there?" Rachel furrowed her eyebrows.

However, the person still didn't respond. The knocking continued.

A shiver ran down her spine.

Although it was daytime, she still couldn't be too sure that nothing would happen.

When the knocking continued, Rachel became even more agitated.

She clenched her fists.

"Who's there?" There was silence before Holley finally responded, "It's me."

She didn't expect that Holley would be at the other side of the door.

After hesitating for a moment, Rachel finally opened the door.

She could see Holley standing quietly in front of her wearing a sleeveless dress.

"Hey, is there anything I can do for you?"

"I actually have something to tell you."
