My Darling, My Dearest novel Chapter 263

"Ugh!" Eric was about to scold Jack for his shamelessness. Hearing that Eric was cursing Jack,

Rachel's face immediately darkened. "What are you doing, Eric?"

Eric immediately froze at the sound of her voice. He slowly turned around to see her standing by the door, looking displeased.

When he turned back, Jack shrugged helplessly as if he had nothing to do with this.

With pursed lips, Rachel pulled Eric out of the room.

As Eric turned back, he could see Jack sitting by the bed with a small smile playing on his lips. It was as if he had been tricked. He gritted her teeth and let her drag him out of the room.

She crossed her arms. "You're already an adult, Eric," she lectured. "If you go out like this, what will others think of you?"

"I...I didn't really curse him!" he protested. However, Rachel wasn't convinced. "Are you really lying to me? I just saw you yelling at him."

Eric didn't really know what to say. "Okay, so maybe I went a little too far." He finally relented.

She gave up arguing with him. With a wave of her hand, she sighed. "You shouldn't have done what you did. It's not polite."

"I just wanted to talk to him." At this point, he didn't know if he could defend himself any longer.

Maybe one day, if he wanted to pick a fight with Jack, he should do it when Rachel was not around.

Hearing what he had to say, Rachel finally relaxed, but she was still perplexed as to what was happening around her. She thought for a moment before lowering her voice. "Why do you want to talk to him?"

Eric narrowed his eyes. "Did you forget what happened?"

"Yes," she answered. Helplessness threaded around her voice.

"Even the fight with him?"

"Fight?" Her eyebrows furrowed over doubtfully as she tried to think it over. "I fought with him?"

Just as Eric was about to say something, Jack interrupted them, "You can ask me if you want to know what happened. I can tell you."

They turned around to see that Jack was standing by the door. His face blurred against the light.

In fact, he had hidden himself so well that no one could see the nervousness that bloomed in his gaze.

He had chosen to no tell Rachel that they had had a fight because of Celine.

If Rachel wanted to know, he would tell her the truth.

But since she hadn't asked him, he had chosen to keep it a secret.

Although he knew that it wasn't polite to eavesdrop on what they were talking about, he found it necessary in these types of situations.

He didn't want Eric to speak so carelessly as to what had happened between them. As much as possible, he wanted to rid of all the tension between him and Rachel.

If Eric stirred up more trouble, Rachel might never want to speak to him again.

Jack's gaze swept over Eric, who shivered at the sight.

Rachel flushed. All she wanted was to get some information from Eric, but she didn't expect that they would be caught red-handed.

She couldn't help but feel strange when he mentioned their fight. A part of her wanted to find out more as to what had happened.

To Eric's surprise, Jack placed a hand on his shoulder and defended him by saying,

"Don't scold him too much. He was only kidding.

Eric froze under his grip, but Jack didn't seem to mind.

"I do want to talk to him though."

Hearing his words, Rachel knew for a fact that Jack wouldn't hold anything against that man.

She glanced at Eric, warning him again, "You shouldn't treat people so badly, okay?"

With Jack's arm around his shoulder, Eric nodded stiffly. "It won't happen again."

'Fuck! I really want to get out of here!' he thought.

Rachel glanced at both of them before sighing. "Fine, you can talk to each other. I'll go in first, okay?"

"No..." Before Eric could finish his objection, he could feel Jack tightening his grip on his shoulder. His expression changed in a flash. Under Rachel's furrowed eyebrows, Eric forced a smile and said, "I mean, sure. That's fine."

Rachel slowly entered the ward. 'What happened to him?' She closed the door behind her just to give them some privacy.

She really had no idea what had happened between the two of them.

As she was thinking, she suddenly remembered something.

Back then, Eric had offended Celine, and Jack had taught him a lesson.

She pursed her lips. When did they start to get along so well? At that point, she also didn't know.
