My Darling, My Dearest novel Chapter 393

Instead of answering Jack's question, Rachel asked back, "How about you?"

She put down the magazine and gave him a bright smile.

He poked her forehead with his finger gently and replied, "Well, you know that I'm always obedient to your orders."

Jonathan had already settled almost everything about their wedding. And since Linda met them now, things were all finalized. It turned out, their wedding would be held two days later.

The day before the wedding, Rachel sat in front of her dresser and looked at her beautiful bright eyes in the mirror. She recalled all the things that happened in the past and couldn't help feeling as if she was still in a dream.

She was so absorbed in her thought that she didn't notice when Jack pushed the door open. She only felt his presence in the room when his hand gently touched her shoulder. Patting his hand, she said, "Didn't Mom tell you not to come here tonight?"

"I'm here to check if my bride is now ready for tomorrow's wedding." The smile in Jack's eyes became more and more apparent. Rachel turned back and smiled at him. "Of course, I'm ready. Besides, this is not the first time I'm marrying you. I don't see any reason to be nervous."

"This one is different."

With a seductive smile on his thin lips, he pulled her aside and opened the drawer. There, he took out a necklace with two rings as pendants.

She recognized the two rings at a glance, so she asked in surprise, "Why are they here?"

Those were their wedding rings before. She thought that he threw them away when she left last time. She didn't expect that he had kept them.

Jack took her hand and put the necklace in her palm. He then said in a gentle tone, "I am giving this necklace to you now. Every time you get angry at me in the future, just take this necklace out, and I will immediately apologize to you."

While saying these, he raised his hand and swore like a child.

The rings were not only the symbols of their first marriage but also his reminder of how difficult his life was when Rachel left him.

With a sly look in her eyes, Rachel nodded. "Okay. Do you have anything else to say? If none, you must go and rest. It's late now. I'm afraid that Mom will call and look for you." He was still smiling when he unconsciously exerted a little strength holding her hand. She felt the sudden pain, so she screamed in surprise, "What's wrong?"

There was a trace of hesitation on his face as if he wanted to say something. Eventually, he just stroked her hair and said in a low voice, "Nothing. Go to bed early."

The next day, the morning sunlight bathed the ground. The rain these past few days had finally ended, and the sky was clear today.

Rachel checked her watch, and it was still early, so she decided to go back to sleep. But as soon as she closed her eyes again, the doorbell rang. She put on the robe and opened the door hurriedly. Celia and Lea were standing on both sides of the door outside.

Lea curled her lips and said, "Are you not excited? You are getting married today!"

"Not really," she answered with a yawn. She had been feeling drowsy recently as if she didn't get enough sleep every day.

Celia grabbed her arm and exclaimed happily, "Rachel, I'm so excited. I have been waiting for this day to come."

"Silly girl!" Lea tapped Celia's shoulder. "It's not your wedding. Why do you look more excited than the bride?"

But as soon as she finished her words, she laughed and added, "Actually, I am excited too. More excited than during my own wedding."

Looking at how crazy her friends were, Rachel couldn't help rolling her eyes. She opened the door wider and motioned for the two women to follow her to the living room. Her plan of going back to sleep was already ruined, so she let them sit on the sofa while she went to the bathroom to wash her face.

A few moments later, the makeup artist and the stylist that they hired arrived. One of them was holding the wedding dress while the other was dragging a suitcase full of all kinds of cosmetics.

Rachel sat on a chair like a doll and let the makeup artist work on her face.

She didn't feel much at the beginning. But as time went by, she gradually became nervous, and her heart beat faster and faster.

After a while, several nurses from her department rushed over.

She actually didn't invite them because she didn't want her wedding to be the talk of the town. However, Celia told them about it, so they all came to congratulate her.

Mindy put down a gift on the dresser and in a voice less dignified than usual, she said, "Rachel, congratulations on your wedding. This is a simple gift we prepared for you." "Thank you," Rachel answered with a gentle smile on her face.

This was how she was. The more nervous she got, the calmer she looked.

When the makeup artist finished doing her makeup, she looked at her in the mirror and nodded with satisfaction. She then asked, "Miss Shen, what do you think?"

"I like it." Lea propped her chin in the palm of her right hand. "Rachel, it's such a waste of your pretty face when you don't wear make-up."

"Really?" Rachel asked with a frown. Before the makeup artist had started working on her face, Rachel had especially instructed her not to put too much makeup on her.
