My Darling, My Dearest novel Chapter 63

Jack's face darkened.

Mendes lifted his head, his face giving away his bewildered expression.

Jonathan caught his dazzled look and smiled, touching Mendes' head. "It's okay. Just eat your food," he coaxed him.

"Okay," Mendes answered.

After dinner, Jonathan asked Rachel to go to his study alone.

Taking advantage of the moment, Tracy hurriedly rushed to her son. Full of nerves, she whispered, "Will You Divorce Rachel?"

Her words quickly pierced through Jack's ears giving him a headache in the process. He rubbed his forehead trying to soothe the slight pain and indifferently answered, "It all depends on her."

Tracy was now getting a little angry and nervously said, "You two get along well with each other for so many years. Why do you want a divorce? Is it because... she forced you?"

Tracy was actually referring to Celine. In fact, she was afraid that her son would claim that he had gotten Celine pregnant.

She knew deep down her heart she didn't have a liking for Celine. 'What if she got pregnant?' Tracy thought to herself.

Her husband like children so much. She ■3

thought maybe Jonathan would accept Celine if she was pregnant.

"Jack... Don't tell me that woman..." she stammered.

"Mom, you are thinking too much." Jack knew exactly what his mother wanted to say just by glancing at her as he had gotten really great at reading her face over the years.

"Whether I divorce Rachel or not has nothing to do with Celine, alright? Which couple in the world is like us?" he mocked.

He and Rachel couldn't be counted as a real couple.

For them, it seemed they had made a massive mistake in getting married five years ago. The best solution was to get separated from each other now.

To be honest, he had come to the conclusion that he couldn't afford another five years.

After finishing his dinner, Mendes went to the living room and turned the television to his favorite cartoon. Tracy looked at his little figure and hesitantly asked, "Is this boy really Rachel's friend's?"

"Oh, so do you really think that Rachel is his mother?" Jack asked as he tried to comprehend what his mother was trying to mean.

Tracy held her head low as it turned red with embarrassment. She hesitated for a while as she was unable to get an answer to her son's question.

Jack sighed, "Mom, you are thinking too much."

Though he and Rachel had seldom met each ■3

other, she didn't have the time to get pregnant and give birth to a boy.

Besides, he knew Rachel was not the kind of person to have an illegitimate child.

"Mom, I take Rachel as my younger sister. Even if I do not end up marrying Celine, Rachel and I won't be together."

Somehow, he felt guilty when he said this.

'Did I really treat Rachel as my sister?' he thought to himself. When he finally digested these words, Jack felt very guilty.

All of a sudden, the scene of her showing up at Francis' engagement party popped up in his head. The moment she elegantly walked into the hall left a deep impression on him.

To this moment, Jack couldn't explain what he felt towards her clearly.

All he knew was that he had different feelings at that time. Rachel and Jonathan had a long conversation.

Jack couldn't think of why they talked to each other for such a while. They seemed natural as they finished their chat and walked out.

He had no idea whether his father had mentioned anything to her in regards to the divorce.

That was the exact reason why Jack had come here. But he felt like he was tricked by his father.

As Rachel walked past where he was stood, he stepped forward, grabbed her arm and pulled her outside. "What are you doing?" she asked as she was slightly astonished. ■3

He pursed his lips and answered, "We need to

talk."

"Again!?" she exclaimed.

They walked towards the French windows to get some privacy. Jack couldn't hold his temper any longer. He turned towards Rachel and asked, "Did he tell you anything?"

Rachel understood exactly what he was implying to and nodded her head without saying anything. In fact, she didn't expect Jack's father would mention it to her.

It seemed that Jack had long known about this.

Rachel didn't really care whether she would get separated from Jack at all.

As she said earlier,

she only cared whether Jonathan agreed.

Jonathan really agreed, but he had some strings attached.

Rachel didn't know how to respond when she heard what Jonathan said.

She looked at Jack and asked him in a low voice, "Did Dad also tell you those conditions?"
