My Darling, My Dearest novel Chapter 292

Eric ultimately decided to make himself a cup of coffee after he yawned a second time.

"It's quite late, Rachel. Did you have a fight with Jack?" He always felt that Jack was not a reliable guy when it came to relationships.

'A leopard cannot change its spots.

It has only been a short time, and he has already started to show his true colors,' he thought.

"Rachel, I'm telling you, it's not too late to leave him and look for a better man. You should divorce him as soon as possible! And you don't have to worry. I have a stable job now. I can take care of you from now on!"

Eric thumped on his chest as he gave her his solemn promise.

When she heard his words, Rachel couldn't help laugh out loudly. "It's good that you now have a stable job because that means you don't need to bother me in the future."

"I am a responsible man now!" Eric felt that it was rare for him to have something to brag about to Rachel and he couldn't stop himself from feeling proud about it. But his thoughts were suddenly interrupted when his phone rang.

As soon as he answered the call on his phone, the sound of Jack's voice came out loudly. "Open the door!"

Jack's voice through Eric's phone was loud enough to be heard by Rachel.

'He's here already?' Eric thought to himself.

"I'm sleeping," he answered back to Jack on the phone. He then hung up the phone afterwards.

Eric then grabbed Rachel's arm and pushed her into the bedroom. "Go to bed now, Rachel. You still need to go to work tomorrow," he suggested. But she pushed him back gently.

"Go to sleep. Let me open the door," she said calmly.

Rachel originally planned to stay at Eric's place so that she and Jack could calm down.

When the two of them were angry, nothing they said sounded rational, anyway.

But she never expected Jack to go to her this fast.

She ignored Eric's dissuasion and went to the front door to open it. The strong smell of alcohol greeted her as she opened the door. "Do you want to explain to me what the photo was all about?" she asked. "Yes."

Jack took a deep breath and steadied himself in front of Rachel. "It's a misunderstanding, Rachel.

Rachel stepped aside to let him in. She then motioned for Eric to get in his room.

"Rachel, I never asked anyone to follow you and take photos of you. I don't know who took this photo and sent it to my phone. I've had this investigated, but I haven't found out who is responsible for this yet,"

Jack explained as he stared straight into Rachel's eyes.

At that time, he panicked when she asked him to explain and didn't know what to say.

He regretted having drunk too much. This made him look insincere at all.

Rachel stared back at him for a while in silence. She was about to say something, but something unexpected happened. Jack fell over to the floor and fell asleep because of drunkenness.

When Jack finally woke up, it was already noon of the next day.

He rubbed his fingers against his aching temples and then looked around.

"So you're finally awake!" Eric said as he walked into the room. 'Am I in Eric's apartment?' Jack thought to himself.

He slowly recalled what happened the evening before. "Where is Rachel?"

"She already left. I would have thrown you down the balcony while you were sleeping if it weren't for Rachel's sake!" Eric said as he watched Jack.

He didn't really plan to do it, but he felt that he had to say it anyway.

It was just a joke.

Jack would normal talk back, but he was just not in the mood. He got up quietly and dragged himself out of Eric's apartment without another word.

He felt much more sober after he took a shower at home.

Now that his mind was clearer, he quickly understood that the key to solving their problem was to find the person who kept sending pictures to him. It was obvious that this person's purpose was to put a strain on his relationship with Rachel.

And it seemed like the plan was a success.

Meanwhile, at the hospital, Rachel made a few mistakes as she was distracted.

A nurse approached her and asked gently, "Rachel, are you feeling okay? We never believe any of the online rumors. So, stop worrying about them."

She concluded that Rachel's current state had something to do with the rumors on the Internet.

Rachel shook her head and smiled.

She didn't know what was wrong with her, but she just couldn't seem to cheer herself up no matter what she did.

She hated herself for the mistakes she had made, but at the same time, she also felt strange. All she could think of all this time was Jack.

Whether what he said was true or not,

the photo that was sent to him represented a problem—there was an extreme lack of trust between the two of them.

At a cafe

"Miss Duan, I have finished my task. It's time for you to transfer the payment for my task to my bank account."

Celine worked on her phone for some time and then replied with a smile, "Check your account. And remember, never tell anyone about this. No one should know. No one. Got it?"

"Don't worry. I won't." The man left silently afterwards. Celine also stood up and left the cafe half an hour after the man left.

She raised her head proudly as she walked the streets. She saw large billboards of the MK Group in several key places of the city as she walked.

She felt that it wouldn't be long before she would replace Rachel and become the CEO's wife.
