My Darling, My Dearest novel Chapter 265

Henry was nowhere near Ninwell City, so he had no idea what had happened to Rachel.

Ever since Rachel was discharged from the hospital, she stayed in her own house. Jack quickly moved in with her. After all, it was spacious enough for the two of them.

Jonathan frowned at the idea. He actually wanted to take her back to the Fu family residence, but his wife quickly reminded him that they shouldn't be disturbing such a happy couple.

It was obvious that Jack needed some time with Rachel. With everything that was going on, he wanted to be by her side.

After thinking for a while, Jonathan agreed. In fact, he even lived in Rachel's house for two days.

He finally left the house after his wife urged him two. However, before he left, he quickly hired two nannies and one nutritionist for Rachel.

Several rooms in the ground floor had been cleaned. Two of them were for the nannies and the other one was for Eric.

Knowing that Rachel might need more assistance and another familiar face to guide her, Eric quickly moved in. He didn't care that Jack would also be staying there.

Jonathan approved of it. He thought it was a brilliant idea if Rachel had her cousin to accompany her during these trying times.

Tracy couldn't help but shake her head over her husband's antics. 'It's probably a good thing I didn't have a daughter, or else he'd have twice the heart attack,' she thought with a smile.

They had lived together for the most of their lives, and she had never seen the old man so worried.

Jack, however, was far from happy with the current living arrangements.

He had already anticipated that his parents would leave in two days, leaving both of them alone. At that point, he was practically jumping in excitement.

What he didn't expect was for Eric to move in right after they'd left.

His relationship with Eric was incredibly rocky, but what Rachel needed to know was that they were in good terms.

He already convinced the man with a little trick. After all, Eric was still very young and very easy to convince.

Just as Jack had expected, their fight finally came to an end. Fortunately, Eric was quiet this entire time. He didn't cause any trouble with him.

Jack sighed in his heart, not knowing that his friend Henry, had worse luck than him.

Michael and Marcus came over pretending that they were here to see Jack. In actuality, they were actually there to see if Rachel was doing well.

They even brought over some wine as if nothing had happened. In fact, they already planned to throw a party in Jack's honor.

They didn't expect that he would object to their request.

"I have to keep Rachel company at night," he said.

Suddenly, everyone silenced as Michael and Marcus gaped at the man.

During the moment of silence, the nanny came over to clean up the table and set the dishes in an orderly manner.

Rachel took a sip from her water, pretending not to hear them.

Michael was speechless. He didn't expect that his friend could change so much in the past month.

"Urn..." The nanny said, "We only have a few dishes. If you don't like them, I can go outside to buy some more."

Jack waved his hand. "Don't. The meal is fine."

The nanny smiled and returned to her room.

Rachel gazed at them for a while before standing up. "I'll go get some rest." After a pause, she added, "You don't have to keep me company."

Once she left, Marcus couldn't help but burst into laughter. He was laughing so hard that he fell onto Michael.

With a straight face, Jack shot them a glare. "Why do you have to come here this late at night?" he demanded.

Michael snorted. "What's wrong? Are we disturbing something?"

"Yeah. I was going to have a good night's sleep with my wife."

At this point, Michael and Marcus were already convinced that Rachel had changed their close friend.

Marcus smirked. "Huh? Are you being a good husband?"

Jack grinned. "Stop joking around. We're starting over." This time, it was his turn to learn how to be a good husband. As Marcus was popping open the red wine, Michael patted Jack's shoulder.

"You're making good progress in how to be a good husband."

Marcus snorted in laughter. Jack punched them on the shoulders. "Keep your voice down!"

The red liquid was poured into the decanter. Given that they hadn't seen each other for a long time, they chose to catch up on lost time.

"How is she?" Michael asked. "Is she doing okay?"
