My Darling, My Dearest novel Chapter 377

Celia looked around and felt horrible. All the shoes in the shoe rack had scattered on the floor, and all the drawers were opened. The whole living room was turned upside down.

'Were there thieves?' she thought to herself.

With eyes wide open, she ran to her bedroom to check. When she finished, her shoulders sagged as she cried, "Rachel, what should I do? These thieves are so heartless. Why do they come to my house at this time?"

Rachel frowned and replied, "They are not thieves."

"Then who could do this to me?"

Rachel raised a document in her hand and said awkwardly, "I think it's Bertha. I've found this divorce paper she left here."

When Celia went to check her bedroom, Rachel found the document under the coffee table in the living room. It was probably blown to the floor by the wind.

Celia glanced at her and sneered, "My father surely made the biggest mistake when he married her. Back then, he even beat me because of her. Now that he is dying and needs money for his hospital bills, she immediately left a divorce paper and ran away. What a good wife! Rachel sighed. She knew that no one would want this kind of situation. But for her, it wasn't really a bad thing that Bertha left.

However, she was only an outsider to this family. It was not easy for her to say these words in front of Celia.

A few moments later, Jack's car parked outside. As soon as he came in, he frowned and said slowly, "I asked someone to bring something to eat here. You need to have some food in your stomach first before you have a good rest."

When she heard what Jack said, Rachel turned to Celia and said, "While we are waiting for the food, go and clean your room first."

Jack could see that Celia was absent-minded, so he was sure that something unpleasant happened while he wasn't here yet. So when she went to her room, he asked Rachel in a low voice, "Where is Bertha?"

Rachel shrugged her shoulders and showed him the document. "She left this divorce paper and ran away." She then looked around the messy living room and started to clean it up.

He held her hand to stop her and said, "You don't need to do that. I'll hire two cleaners from the agency to clean up this mess."

Without saying anything, she gently removed Jack's hand from her arm and continued putting the shoes back to the shoe rack. After fixing all the shoes, she looked at the direction of the bedroom and walked to the kitchen. That was the only time she asked him, "What happened to Marcus? Where is he now?"

"He's okay." Jack, who followed her to the kitchen, smiled and stroked her soft hair. "I heard Celia calling you just now. Go and check on her in the bedroom first."

She nodded and walked to the bedroom quietly.

Looking at her back, Jack silently took out a cigarette and lit it. His deep-set eyes showed an indescribable sense of fret.

Before he came here, he received a call from Marcus, who only said, "Please take good care of Celia for me."

His heart skipped a beat, and he wanted to ask why, but Marcus had already hung up.

Rachel raised her hand and knocked on Celia's bedroom door. "Celia, did you just call me?"

"No, I didn't."

Celia took out a photo album from a corner, wiped off the dust on it, and looked through it one by one. All the photos there were taken in the park with Dylan when she was still a child.

She raised her head and looked at Rachel. When she was about to show the photo album to her, she noticed that she was in a daze. "Rachel, what's wrong?"

"Nothing,"

Rachel answered and looked back at the kitchen uneasily. Pursing her lips, she thought if Jack deliberately sent her away to avoid the topic about Marcus.

She couldn't help wondering if he was hiding something from her.

But then, she tried to put the thoughts away. She walked up to Celia and asked with a smile, "What is it that you want to show me?"

In the Ji family residence, the dining room looked warm and beautiful as the dim light cast down on the table.

All of a sudden, a wine glass fell to the floor, breaking the sweet atmosphere in the room.

Eden took out a stack of tissue and hurriedly handed it to Marcus. "Marcus, wipe your hand."

However, Marcus didn't even raise his eyes to her. Instead, he took a towel from the other side of the table.

Embarrassment was written all over her face as she pulled her hand back and smiled helplessly.

Seeing how Marcus had treated Eden, Larry pulled a long face and yelled, "Are you still a little boy? You can't even hold the wine glass properly. How clumsy!" Eden's father hurriedly mediated, "It's normal for people to make mistakes. Marcus, why don't you go upstairs and change your clothes first? I don't think a towel is enough to wipe the wine stains."

The Chen family visited the Ji family for dinner tonight. Both elders of the two families agreed to talk about and settle the relationship between Marcus and Eden.

Without saying a word, Marcus turned around and went upstairs expressionlessly. His actions angered Larry more. If it weren't for his wife sitting beside him and kept on pulling his shirt hard, and the Chen family who sat opposite him, he would have probably gone upstairs and scold Marcus.

But now, all he could do was smile at them apologetically.

He raised his glass and said, "I'm so sorry. Marcus sometimes loses his temper. That's one of the reasons why we want to ask Eden to take good care of him in the future."
