My Darling, My Dearest novel Chapter 28

Pursing her lips, Rachel didn't want to have anything to do with Jack, especially when it would compromise her safety.

However, things were out of her control and this made her depressed. "We have to think of a solution, right? Can you guarantee my safety if he sends someone to follow me again? I don't think paying attention is enough."

Jack and Michael fell silent. What Rachel said was right. They didn't know Hiram that well. But there was one thing they were sure of—Hiram was so narrow- minded that he would do anything to retaliate.

For now, Jack was able to temporarily solve the problem, for Hiram couldn't stop him from leaving. However, before he left, Hiram had said, "Mrs. Fu looks very interesting. If you have time, let's have tea together. Don't forget to bring her with you."

What Hiram said alerted Jack. He knew that there was an underlying meaning beneath those words. He just couldn't point out what exactly they meant. Were they a threat or a mock?

Since Jack felt that there was a meaning behind Hiram's words, he thought it would be better to warn Rachel. But her question made him think.

After a while, he offered, "I'll arrange two bodyguards to go with you."

Controlling herself not to rub her forehead, she ■3

refused at once. "There's no need for bodyguards. Just find out the root of the trouble and solve it. If that happens, I will be grateful."

"Okay," Jack flatly replied.

Then, Jack drove Rachel home. After she got out of the car, Michael transferred to the passenger seat. He thoughtfully said, "Hiram should not dare lay his hands on Rachel in public."

"We really need to be alert. What if that guy hires someone to do his dirty deed?"

Teasing Jack, Michael replied smilingly, "Since you're worried, why don't you protect her yourself?"

Jack glanced at him coldly. But Michael wasn't afraid of him. Urging Jack, Michael continued, "She is your wife. If anything happens to her, what will you tell your father?"

"I'll arrange for more bodyguards to protect

her."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk! How can you be so ruthless! Would you sit still if it was Celine being threatened like this?"

With eyes flashing, Jack impatiently said, "They're different."

With that answer, Michael kept silent for a while. Then, curling his lips, he suddenly uttered, "I really don't know what's so good about Celine. Rachel is far better than her."

Jack knew that Michael disliked Celine. Before, he occasionally expressed his opinion of her. But lately, Michael complained a lot.

With his relationship to the two, one being his ■3

buddy and the other being his woman, Jack was now in a dilemma on how to deal with them.

"Celine is just a little willful She's not that bad."

As the saying went, "Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder." Even if there were more shortcomings on the part of that woman, Jack couldn't see them. When Michael heard that, he pulled a long face and said, "How many years do you plan to be a monk?"

All of a sudden, different emotions flashed in Jack's eyes. He felt his heart being stabbed several times. The speed of his driving turned slower and slower.

Then, his handsome face gradually became cold. "How did you know this?"

For Celine's sake, he didn't touch any woman. Anyone who learned about it would think it was unbelievable since it was Jack. Others might even think that he was a man loyal to his woman.

However, he didn't want this to be known by the outsiders.

Otherwise, he would lose face.

Although Jack was willing to do it because of his love for Celine, he couldn't bear anyone else knowing this matter.

This was like an announcement telling everyone that he was unable to deal with his woman. As a man, he couldn't endure this kind of speculation.

In his understanding, no one else knew anything about the intimate affairs between him and Celine. So, when Michael mentioned this, Jack ■3

felt betrayed and humiliated.

"How did you know?" Jack questioned him. He knew in his heart that it was just between him and Celine. And, he never told anyone else. How could Michael know about it?

The answer was so obvious. It was right in his face.
