Stuck in you novel Chapter 166

Rona and Jack sat face to face in a relatively quiet corner of a cafe.

She was a little nervous as she told him random stories about Celine.

The truth was, she wanted to confirm if Jack and Celine had really broke up.

But she was too scared to ask him directly, so all she did was beat around the bush.

Jack knew that since they'd broke up, Celine had been looking for ways to return to him. However, he had always avoided her.

His patience had worn out and he would not get back together with her.

He didn't even touch the coffee in front of him as he tried to listen to her. Eventually, he said impatiently, "Thank you for the information, but there's really no need for you to tell me about her." He pushed the cup of coffee slightly and stood up. "I've already paid for the coffee. I have something else to do, so I'm leaving now."

Rona was a little stunned. Jack's attitude seemed to have confirmed one thing.

She also stood up and looked at him with widened eyes. "Did you break up with Celine?" she asked nervously.

Her voice was a little loud and it attracted the attention of other customers.

Jack frowned with displeasure. Rona apologized immediately in a low voice, "I'm sorry. My voice was too loud."

Jack didn't answer her question directly but simply said, "She has her own life and I have mine too. Miss Zhou, please tell her that since she knows me well, she should know that I don't change my mind easily."

Rona wasn't actually interested in relaying his message to Celine. She was more interested in something else. So she grasped the edge of the table, took a deep breath and bit her lower lip before she asked, "Is it because of Rachel?"

Hearing her words, Jack looked at her coldly. "My private affairs have nothing to do with you."

It was clearly a warning. Rona immediately understood it so she didn't dare to ask more.

Her lips curved into a forced smile and she apologized again awkwardly, "Sorry. I'm so sorry."

For the last time, Jack said again, "I'm leaving." He then turned and walked away without looking back.

Rona watched his receding back with a complicated look on her face.

Her heart filled with different emotions. She thought of Celine first, then of Rachel.

She realized, Jack would only stop being cold if he was in front of the woman he liked.

Jealousy immediately overwhelmed her heart. She started to feel restless and uneasy.

'Miss Zhou?' The way he called her earlier stung her heart.

'When he is in front of Rachel, he smiles tenderly. But he used to be indifferent and disgusted with her.

What on earth did she do to him?'

Her gripped on the table tightened. If the table was not made of steel, she might have already broken it.

But on the bright side, at least she had gotten a piece of good news.

She was able to confirm that Jack had indeed broken up with Celine.

When she thought of how Celine would always show off about how obsessed Jack was to her and his attitude just now when he mentioned Celine, Rona wanted to laugh out loud.

If she had recorded everything, she would play it in front of Celine. She was curious about how Celine would react and defend herself in front of her.

Rona and Celine were actually good friends. However, Rona had her own motive for being friends with her.

She was more into the benefits. Since Celine was in a relationship with Jack back then, she befriended Celine to have a chance to get close to him. Moreover, her family could also benefit from it.

However, Celine hadn't really treated her as a friend. She was more like a nanny and a shock absorber especially when Celine and Jack quarreled.

Sometimes, she was like a garbage bin where Celine would pour out all her anger.

Rona always felt uncomfortable especially when it came to Jack.

Because of that, the seed of jealousy and greed started to grow deep inside her heart. And as days passed, it was slowly eating her up.

But of course, she didn't dare to show her true feelings in front of Celine.

Now that Jack and Celine had finally broken up and Celine left Ninwell City, she felt a little hopeful. However, Jack and Rachel were together now.

Men were indeed fickle creatures.

Since Rachel, who he disliked before, was able to win his heart, it could possibly happen to her too.

After leaving the coffee shop, Jack went to his car. Rachel was waiting for him there. But he didn't say anything about what happened while driving her home.

The rain had finally stopped so Rachel decided to lower down the car's window. As the wet night wind touched her face, she felt refreshed.

When they got home, Rachel immediately prepared dinner. She made two simple dishes and a soup. As expected, Jack ate all of them without any complaints.

Knowing that Jack had eaten a lot, Rachel asked him out for a walk.

They lived in a high-class community so the surroundings were beautiful. The green scenery was very pleasing to the eyes.

As they were walking along the street, they saw an old couple walking towards them. The man's arm was around the woman's shoulder and they were talking in a low voice.

They glanced at each other when the couple walked passed through them.

Jack suddenly put his arm around Rachel's shoulder and asked, "Do we look like them now?"

He imitated how the old man held his wife. Rachel just smiled slightly.

After walking for quite a while, they decided to go back home. Now that they lived together, it was inevitable for them to share a room and sleep in the same bed.

Jack took a shower as soon as they came back. The sound of the water could be heard clearly.

Rachel was in the bed with a book in her hand. She turned two pages but she couldn't seem to understand what she was reading.

She blamed it all to the noisy shower inside the bathroom.

After flipping a few pages more, she gave up and decided to close the book.

As soon as she put down the book on the bedside table, the bathroom door opened. Jack walked out, with a towel wrapped around his waist.

He threw the towel in his hand in front of Rachel, turned around, and sat on the edge of the bed.

Rachel stared at the towel for a while with creased brows. "It's cold so help me dry my hair," Jack said.

She leaned over to get the towel and the quilt slipped down from her body. Since she was sitting on the bed, she got even shorter than Jack.

In order to reach his hair, Rachel had no choice but to kneel behind him. She then wiped his hair quietly.

Jack had a short and beautiful hair so it was easy to dry it up. However, the towel was not enough because his root hair was still wet so Rachel got out of the bed and took a hair dryer.

While drying his hair, she couldn't help staring at his broad shoulders. Jack had an excellent figure, with tight and powerful muscles, so his body proportions were perfect.

With Jack almost naked in front of her, she was undeniably fascinated by him. As she continued to stare at him, her breathing changed slightly. But upon realizing her behavior, she quickly looked away as if afraid of being caught.

Fortunately, the sound of the hair dryer was a little loud so Jack didn't notice her abnormal breathing. He just sat quietly and let her fiddle with his short hair.

After drying his hair, Rachel got out of the bed again to put everything back. However, Jack hadn't moved. He was sitting still, with hands on his lap. It was as if he was meditating.

When Rachel saw him still in the same position, she pushed him a little and asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

With an evil smile on his face, Jack suddenly turned around and pressed her on the bed.

Rachel blurted out angrily, "Hey, stop it Jack! You scared me."

"I meant to scare you," Jack snickered.

But he let go of her hand and pulled her up. Rachel immediately hid herself under the quilt.

"Rachel." Jack suddenly called out his name softly.

"What?" She peeped through the quilt to see what Jack was doing.

With his Adam's apple bobbing, he said again, "Come here, Rachel." She just stared at him.

Her intuition was telling her that something dangerous was about to happen.

But it looked like she was bewitched by his eyes. The air around the room seemed to freeze as she slowly came to him.

The dim orange light reflected Jack's handsome face. He reached out his hand and whispered softly, "Rachel." His magnetic low voice was like a feather that brushed through her heart.

She sat still. When he leaned over to her, she could hear him panting. She subconsciously closed her eyes when his lips pressed on hers.

To her, the orange light became dimmer and dimmer.

Her mind was in a mess.

Jack noticed her distracted behavior so he stopped moving for a moment.

Before Rachel came back to her senses, all the lights in the room were turned off all of a sudden.

She held her breath as she had already anticipated what would happen next.
