My Darling, My Dearest novel Chapter 261

Seeing that Jack intended to keep pursuing this topic, Tracy quickly put a stop to it. "Your father is worried about Rachel. Don't ask any more questions."

Jonathan hummed in agreement.

Realizing that he might end up irritating his father if he continued to ask questions, Jack shut his mouth.

Tracy glared at her husband and complained in her heart, 'Humph, you treat someone else's child much better than you treat your own son.'

But then, she remembered that Jonathan had once said that he wanted Jack and Tracy make decisions by themselves.

A sense of anxiety rose in her heart as Celine's words flashed in her mind. She looked at her son thoughtfully.

She suspected it was true that he had had a ligation operation, but she had yet to ask Jack about it.

For the past few days, Jack had been worried sick about Rachel since she was not in a good condition. Therefore, Tracy had suppressed her worries as best as she could so as to not make trouble for her son.

But now that Rachel had recovered, Tracy thought it was time to ask him about it.

When Rachel came out of the doctor's office, Jonathan went up to her and started talking to her. Tracy decided to seize this opportunity and hurriedly took Jack out to the quiet balcony.

"Mom, what are you doing? Why did you bring me here?" Jack asked in confusion. His mother rarely had such a serious expression on her face.

As Tracy thought of the question she wanted to ask him, she felt herself getting a headache.

She didn't know how to start the conversation.

And if Celine's words turned out to be true, she didn't know how to scold him for doing such a stupid thing.

After mentally preparing herself, Tracy put her hand on the balcony railing and asked coldly, "Did you have a ligation operation?"

Jack was initially astonished to hear this, but he gradually stiffened and looked at his mother in a daze. He had never expected these words to come out of her mouth.

All this time, he had been worried about how to tell Rachel about his secret. And now, it turned out that his mother already knew about it! Tracy, who was carefully watching the expression on his face, felt her heart drop when she saw the guilt in his eyes.

So it was true. She fell back all of a sudden,

feeling dizzy with anger and shock.

"Mom! Mom!" Jack hurriedly reached out and supported her before she could hit the floor.

When her senses snapped back into places, Tracy was so enraged that she raised her hand to slap him. But when her hand was halfway to his cheek, she thought better of it and withdrew it.

Then, she pushed him away and staggered to her feet. "Don't call me 'Mom'!" Jack's face turned pale, and his lips trembled. Seeing how angry and upset she was, he didn't dare to open his mouth or get close to her.

'What a stupid child! I can find out everything from just his expressions,'

Tracy thought to herself.

The mixture of pain, hatred, resentment, and anger she felt blurred her vision.

She hated herself for not educating her son well.

Jack had never given her reason to worry during his childhood. And until recently, she had thought that he had grown up to be a mature and reliable man. So, she had never imagined that he would do such a stupid thing. She was so angry that she wanted to beat him with a stick!

Even though she had suspected that Celine's words were true, she was still not able to believe it.

Jack finally stepped forward and said in a low voice, "Mom, who told you that?"

Tracy gritted her teeth and glared at him. "Is that important? Give me an explanation!"

In the end, she couldn't help hitting him hard on the shoulder and cursing at him. "Stupid boy! You bastard! How could you do this? Tell me! What were you thinking? You father will beat you to death if he finds out."

Jack clenched his jaw and stayed still, letting her hit him freely.

"Are you going to cut off the Fu family tree? You bastard! I shouldn't have spoiled you!" Feeling that he had allowed her to sufficiently vent her anger, Jack raised his hands and touched her shoulders. As a vortex of feelings swirled within him, he apologized in a low voice,

"Mom, I'm sorry."

"Sorry?" Tracy scoffed. "Why are you saying sorry to me now? Were you out of your mind back then? Does Rachel know about this?" Face turning pale, Jack slowly released his mother from his grip and stammered, "No...she doesn't..."

Tracy merely sneered at him in response. After a momentary pause, she asked, "So you had the ligation for that woman?" She spat the last word in disgust.

Jack just looked at her silently, not denying it.

Tracy felt her headache sharpening. She closed her eyes and waved her hand. "I don't care anymore! Whatever! You can marry whoever you like! Your father won't force you to be with Rachel either!"

Jack felt a rush of anxiety all of a sudden. "Mom, I just want to be with Rachel now."

Tracy sneered again. "That depends on what Rachel wants."
