My Darling, My Dearest novel Chapter 91

Jack caught up with Rachel, asking why she was angry.

She could feel the warmth of his palm again.

She endured the embarrassment silently and said, "Don't worry about me. You should go back! I'll walk around by myself for a while and look for my friends."

Jack pretended not to understand her. "Your friends? Who else came with you other than Lucas?" he asked.

"Lea."

Jack remembered that Rick had told him that Lucas had brought two women with him. So the other one was Lea.

There was no doubt that Lucas maintained a good relationship with them.

Jack said, "You have an unusual relationship with Lucas,"

He abruptly stopped. 'Am I getting jealous?' he asked himself inwardly.

Rachel thought otherwise, thinking that he just wanted to know why she and Lucas were really close.

She explained subconsciously, "We have been friends for nearly ten years."

She had been friends with Lucas for nearly ten ■d

years, meaning that they had known each other since they were around fifteen or sixteen years old. It was strange not easy for them to maintain such a long-term friendship.

Jack's heart skipped a beat.

A soft breeze came as they stood near the window.

Outside, the fireworks exploded,

adorning the night sky.

Neither of them talked at that time. They stood in the comfort of the silence as they observed the magnificent parade in the sky.

After a moment's silence, another round started. Rachel got startled by the noise of firecrackers.

Before she could react, Jack already reached out to hold her. The fireworks were more intense this time.

When Rachel came to her senses, she had found herself leaning against Jack's chest.

He frowned and asked, "Are you scared?"

Rachel was frightened by the fireworks, but now... she was more uncomfortable with him like this.

Rachel pushed him away immediately. There had been so much physical contact between them the last few days alone than there ever had been in the last five years.

She raised her hand to put aside a strand of hair from her face. Her heart galloped in her chest. ■d

"I need to look for them now."

Jack was a little confused. "Why don't you just call them?"

Rachel dialed Lucas' number, but he didn't answer.

The fireworks blossomed one after another in the night sky. It was so beautiful, but Lucas didn't have mood to watch that.

He stared blankly at the person sitting on the top floor, not so far away from him. Entranced, he walked towards her.

Finally, he found her.

He hoped that what he saw this time was not just another illusion.

Celine, on the other hand, stood there with a pale face, looking at Jack and Rachel.

She had wanted to take a breath outside, not expecting to see such a ghastly scene.

The two leaned against one another. She moved two steps forward in silence.

The two of them separated again. They said something and then gazed outside at the blooming fireworks.

Accompanied by the burst of fireworks, Celine was unable to move.

She hid in the dark like a paparazzi, following their movements.

Her heart broke.

No wonder he began to act so indifferently ■d

towards her. No wonder he no longer felt sorry for her. No wonder he didn't respond when she told him about what Rachel had done to her.

When did he get close to Rachel?

She realized that she had been missing out on what had been happening.

Like a woman who had discovered that her husband had an affair, Celine stood there in shock and sadness. She couldn't just barge in so boldly as if she was his wife. After all, Jack and Rachel were a couple.

She stood there for a while, feeling cold all over. Slowly, she calmed down. Seeing that they turned around and left, she followed them. She sneaked behind them, wanting to see what they were going to do.

However, to Celine's disappointment, Rachel went away to look for Lucas. As Lucas was on the top floor the whole time, Rachel were searching in the wrong direction.

Rachel didn't mean to look for Lucas in the first place. She just wanted to have an excuse in avoiding Jack.

But Jack just followed her like a stalker.

Rachel finally came up with an excuse to get rid of him. "I need to go to the bathroom."
