My Darling, My Dearest novel Chapter 321

Jack frowned. Now, he was sure that he didn't wrong Celine. This was all just her trick!

Seeing that the man in front of him had gone silent, Eric felt strange. "Why did you ask?"

"Did you tell Celine that you bought this for Rachel?" Jack wanted to get all the details before he could confront any one of them.

Eric wrinkled his nose in disgust. "And how is that possible? I never had a word with her."

He glanced at his watch. Ten minutes had already gone by. "If it's okay with you, I'll be leaving now. I already got tickets to the movie, so I'm in a hurry."

Jack nodded, but as Eric was about to walk out of the office, he suddenly asked, "Who did you go with to buy that necklace?"

"A friend," Eric replied sheepishly, scratching the back of his head.

"Girlfriend?"

"Not exactly, but she might be." He grinned. "I'm already late. I'll get going now."

Zoe kept glancing at her watch every now and then. Her heart raced in her chest as the feeling of restlessness grew inside of her. At this point, she couldn't even stay still.

'Jack's smart. What if he already figured it out?'

"Sorry to keep you waiting. Let's go." Eric patted her on the shoulder. When he realized how her face had gone pale from his voice, he immediately apologized, "Crap, did I scare you?"

She slowly relaxed. "No. Did Mr. Fu ask you about work?"

"No. It's actually about the necklace." He was a very straightforward person. Besides, he didn't think there was anything wrong with telling her about it.

"Oh, is there something wrong with the necklace?"

"Who knows?" Eric shrugged.

Zoe didn't continue. Although she relaxed a bit, her mind was swimming with endless scenarios. She knew for a fact that Jack wouldn't be able to sit still until he didn't find the culprit.

Autumn was already coming in early. Trees on both sides of the streets were blooming as their leaves varied from different shades of green, yellow, orange, and red. The scenery looked like a canvas ready to be painted.

On her way home, a smile slipped into Rachel's lips as she appreciated the fragrant scent of fresh flowers.

She had just finished her morning duty. When she came out of the hospital, she finally received a message from Lucas that said that he had finally found Iris. It seemed that everything was going all right on his boat.

Since he sent her a message, she knew that he wasn't angry at her anymore.

Rachel felt less guilty over it now.

"You're back."

Seeing that Rachel was standing by the gate of her village, Jack quickly got out of the car and raced towards her.

She gazed at him indifferently and was about to bypass him when he grabbed her arm.

"Let me go," she said coldly.

He tightened his grip. "Let me explain..."

After knowing the entire story, he wanted to explain it all to Rachel.

With Celine up to her old tricks again, he was afraid that she wouldn't be able to give him a chance.

He even drank some alcohol to help him regain his confidence before speaking to her.

He had never expected that he'd get scared of confronting Rachel.

Rachel waved her hand. "There's no need to explain. It's best that we don't see each other anymore. I don't want to be involved in your relationship with Celine.

Besides, we've already divorced."

Pain flashed in his eyes. "Rachel, you know that

"Rachel!"

Jack glanced to whoever had called out her name. The next second, Rachel used this opportunity to break from his hold and walked to Bill. She held his arm and smiled sweetly. "Let's go somewhere, okay?"

Staring at their receding figures, Jack wanted to catch up to them, but it felt as if his two feet were nailed to the ground.

His heart ached at the sight.

The car drove down the broad road. Glancing at the woman beside him, Bill asked lowly, "Where are we going?"

"Wherever."

She didn't know where to go. All she wanted to do was get away from Jack.

The moment she saw him, she knew that all of this was part of Celine's plot. But she didn't care. They were already divorced.

She might as well use this opportunity to cut the relationship that had never been there in the first place.
