My Darling, My Dearest novel Chapter 445

Rachel felt like she was slowly carried by the wind to a strange place. She landed in a small room where a lot of people gathered. Lea and Henry were there. Jonathan and Tracy, together with James, were also there. Aside from them, there were also other people that she knew. It seemed that everyone who became a part of her life gathered in this room today.

She called out their names, but every time she opened her mouth, there was no voice coming out. All of them seemed not to notice her presence in the room. They continued to chat with each other, completely ignoring her.

All of a sudden, the door opened.

A man and a woman, together with a little boy between them, walked in. Although she couldn't see their faces clearly, she could tell that the boy's height reached the woman's waist.

As soon as Jonathan saw them, a bright smile appeared on his face. He waved at the little boy and said, "Come to Grandpa."

Rachel was stunned upon hearing what Jonathan said.

Since the boy was his grandson, it meant that he was Jack's child.

She suddenly got curious who could his wife be.

She strode across the room to get closer to them. But when she got near them, she still couldn't see both the little boy's and the woman's faces clearly.

With a bitter smile on her face, she suddenly realized that it wasn't necessary to see their faces. Whoever the woman was had nothing to do with her, after all.

She turned around to leave when she suddenly heard Lea's voice. "Scarlett, are you free tomorrow afternoon? Our favorite brand will launch their new products tomorrow. Let's go and check them out."

Hearing Scarlett's name felt like a bucket of ice was poured into her heart. She was so disheartened. But still, she tried to comfort herself by thinking that she felt depressed not because Jack married Scarlett or because they had a child. She felt sad because Lea, who was her best friend, and Scarlett, became good friends all of a sudden.

They were too close that they even went shopping together.

How did it happen? She couldn't tell.

Rachel felt that she once floated into the air. But all of a sudden, the wind that had been tightly holding her vanished. As a result, she fell down with a thud. As soon as her body twitched, she woke up. When she touched her forehead, she found out that it was wet with sweat.

Since the moonlight seeped through the window, the room was bright enough for her to see that Jack wasn't there anymore. A bitter smile appeared on her face upon thinking that he must have gone back to Scarlett since it was already late.

But, wasn't it what she wanted? Every time Jack came home, she always pushed him to leave.

Because of her strange dream, Rachel couldn't go back to sleep. She closed her eyes, but her mind was wide awake. It was already six o'clock in the morning when her eyelids felt heavy again and she fell asleep. Because of it, she didn't know that Jack gently pushed her bedroom door open to look at her. He then turned around and left with relief.

Actually, he didn't leave last night. He stayed in the study next door, searching for some information online about the late stage of pregnancy.

"Achoo!"

Scarlett sneezed. But when she saw that the gates opened, she quickly got out of the taxi. Seeing Jack's car coming out, she ran in front and spread her arms to stop it.

Fortunately, Jack was swift enough to step on the brakes. When he saw Scarlett come and open the door of the passenger seat, his brows creased. He asked, "Why are you here?"

"I have been waiting for you." Scarlett sat in and wrapped her arms around her shoulders. With tears in her eyes, she looked at him and said, "Jack, my coat and my bag were left in your car.

I can't go back home. I waited for you all night here outside."

Jack looked back and saw her stuff on the back seat. Without saying anything, he started the car again.

When they reached Scarlett's apartment, Jack went straight to the kitchen to get a glass of water. He then went back to the living room and handed it to her.

Although he was wearing a straight face all the time, Scarlett still felt warm in her heart when she took the glass of water from him. She couldn't restrain the tears of joy from welling up in her eyes, thinking that he finally started to care about her.

The water was tasteless, but when she drank it, it tasted like honey for her.

However, her daydreaming was cut short upon seeing Jack coming out of the bedroom with a suitcase. She put down the glass, rushed to him, and asked incredulously, "Jack, are you going on a business trip?"

"I'm going home," Jack replied in a low voice. He threw a certificate on the table and added, "I've asked my lawyer to register this house in your name. Consider this as additional compensation from me. Our agreement is over now."

"What!?" Scarlett couldn't believe her ears. "Jack, did I do something wrong? Tell me. I can definitely change it."
