My Darling, My Dearest novel Chapter 309

"I'm a little tired."

Rachel massaged her temples while her eyes were closed. "Can we leave now? I still have to go to work tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll go and say goodbye to the host. Just sit here and wait for me."

Jack never took his eyes off Rachel since he saw her.

It turned out that Bill was the handsome man that the nurses were whispering about.

Jack felt bad and clenched his fists tightly.

He immediately noticed how he and Rachel were very close. He then wondered the truth behind the story that they had a special kind of relationship.

The thought of this almost drove Jack mad. He had to take in a series of deep breaths in order to calm himself down and suppress his anger.

At the same time, Celine watched Jack's strange behavior and she felt a sharp stinging pain in her heart.

She initially felt very happy to be able to attend the banquet that evening. After so many years, she felt like her efforts had finally been rewarded when Jack agreed to attend the banquet with her.

But she never expected Rachel to be there as well.

Before she went there, she kept imagining that Jack would introduce her to everyone present and then announce that she was his girlfriend.

However, reality sometimes had a sick sense of humor.

Celine sneered and suppressed her displeasure. She smiled as she turned to Jack and said in a sweet voice, "Jack, I saw Mr. Lin over there. Do you want to go over to him and say hello?"

There was no answer and no indication that her words were even heard.

But she refused to be ignored. So, she reached out her hand and touched the back of Jack's hand.

However, as soon as her fingertips touched the back of his hand, Jack quickly withdrew his hand as if he was touched by something extremely dirty and disgusting. A strong and undisguised look of disgust appeared on his face, while his eyes were still firmly locked on Rachel the whole time.

Rachel waited for a long time, but she never saw Bill come back. She looked around and found that he was engaged by someone and was chatting with him.

It seemed that their conversation would last for a while longer, Rachel thought.

She sent a text message to Bill right away. "I need to go. I will just take a cab."

Jack watched her every move. When he saw that she picked up her handbag and was about to leave, he stood up from his seat as well.

"What's wrong, Jack?"

'Finally! This annoying woman is about to leave!' Celine chuckled to herself.

"I need to do something," Jack said coldly without even looking at her.

"Are you leaving already? I'll go with you," Celine said as she stood up from her seat and hurried to follow him.

Jack paused and said in an expressionless voice, "There's something that I need to do. You can go home by taxi or ask Michael to take you home."

Jack then he left hurriedly without looking back.

Celine felt her body tremble in anger. She took a glass of champagne from a waiter's tray and drank everything in a single gulp.

Whatever tactic she used seemed to be useless. She then decided that she must think of a way to get rid of Rachel and make her disappear from Ninwell City.

Rachel never expected that there would be so many people who decided to leave the party early like her.

The long line of taxis near the entrance of the hotel was gone in the blink of an eye before she was able to get out of the front doors.

She stood in front to wait for the next cab. Unexpectedly, a black car stopped in front of her. The window at one side rolled down, and she saw Jack's face inside the car. "Get in the car!"

"No, thanks,"

Rachel replied coldly as she stepped back.

Jack frowned, took a deep breath, and got out of the car. He grabbed Rachel's arm and pushed her into the car despite her struggles.

Rachel felt disgusted and immediately pushed Jack away. "Stop forcing me to do things against my will!"

"Don't tell me that Bill never forced you to do anything." Jack's words were filled with jealousy even though he tried his best to hide them.

The air inside the car was filled with the scent of women's perfume that disgusted Rachel. "It has nothing to do with Bill. If you keep up with this, I will scream!"

However, Jack ignored Rachel's threats and pushed her inside the car and then he got in. He told the driver to drive right away. He never noticed that Celine just got out of the hotel and stood at the entrance. She watched them with anger-filled eyes as the car drove away.

The evening was not very cold, but Celine could feel a bitter cold encase her heart in sheets of ice.

Her manicured nails sank deeply into her palms as she tightly balled her hands into fists. However, she never felt the pain at all nor did she notice it.

Beep! Beep!

The loud honking of a car's horn snapped Celine back to reality.

She turned towards the direction of the sound and saw Michael as he rolled down the window of his car. "Do you need a ride?" he asked Celine loudly as he pointed at the passenger seat of his car.

If Jack never asked him to give her a ride as a favor, there was no way that he would drive Celine back to her house.

Celine glanced at Michael, but ignored him. Her eyes quickly returned to the direction where Jack's car went as anger simmered inside her. She stood there as she thought that she came to the party in that car, but it drove off without her. She felt so pathetic and ridiculous.

Michael quickly lost his patience when he saw her ignore him. "Are you getting in or not? I wouldn't think twice to leave you here!"

"Leave now. I don't care," Celine replied in an irritated sound of voice.
