Celine thought there was someone else who was trying to prevent her from seeing Jack.
Although Celine had been silent this entire time, that didn't mean that she was going to give up very
easily. All she wanted to do was make sure that those who have been watching her thought that she
had given up.
She had all her hopes into the phone call. She thought that the man would forgive her and welcome her
back whole-heartedly.
She didn't expect him to reject her.
Her face darkened as she gripped her phone tightly. "Have you fallen in love with another woman?" she
demanded.
Rona had informed her that he was hanging around with another woman.
She clenched her phone and tried her best to restrain her rage. "Why aren't you replying to me?" she
snapped. "Have you? Have you fallen in love with someone else?"
The way she phrased her words annoyed Jack entirely. He narrowed his eyes. "It's none of your
business. We've broken up, Celine. Don't you understand?"
They had broken up. She didn't have any right to mind who he was with any further. Celine flushed
bright red as she stared at the ceiling.
Until this moment, she had always believed that there was still a chance for her to make up for it all.
She was so sure of it.
Unfortunately, reality slapped her in the face. Jack was so indifferent to her. They were really finished.
Celine almost forgot why she called him. All she wanted to do was say something to win his heart
again.
However, the truth had just slapped her right in the face. No matter how pitiful she looked, she could
not win any sympathy from Jack.
She gritted her teeth.
Without another word, she held back her desire, apologized, and hung up.
However, she knew that she couldn't give up. She had been with him so many years, and she didn't
believe for one second that he could forget about her entirely.
He wasn't a promiscuous man, and Celine believed that he couldn't move on from her that easily.
She took a deep breath as she forced herself to calm down. "I wonder who his new love is," she
murmured.
How could that woman seduce Jack in such a short period of time?
Celine clenched her fists. She wanted to see her to size up the woman she was dealing with.
Once she hung up the phone, Jack turned to his contact list. It was the time he called someone up to
see what that woman had been doing recently.
For some reason, he had a feeling that Celine was dangerous due to her stubbornness.
It wasn't easy to build a relationship, but as time went by, she had broken every single inch of his trust
for her. She was the one who destroyed everything they had.
She had challenged his patience again and again, and he already had enough of it.
His patience and anger for her wiped away his love. After all this time, his feelings for her began to
diminish.
They were meant to separate at the end of the day.
However, it seemed that she still didn't want to give up.
They had been together for four years, and they both know each other pretty well.
It was because of this that Jack was worried of what she'd do next. He was worried she might do
something that both of them would regret.
When he returned to his room, he saw that Rachel had already fallen asleep.
A smile slid into his lips as he tucked her under the quilt as gently as he could.
His feelings for Rachel was different from the feelings he had felt for Celine.
At first, he saw Celine's kindness and gentleness. However, as time went by, he discovered she was as
so innocent as she appeared to be.
He had grown tired in hearing her complaints and atrocities, that he decided to break it off.
He felt compassion with Celine, but he felt something more for Rachel.
Rachel was like a seed planted in his heart. In time, his love for her didn't shorten. In fact, it continued
to grow and grow till he couldn't stand it anymore.
It was as if their souls were suddenly intertwined that he didn't want to let her go.
Although he had fallen in love with her in such a short time frame, his love didn't fade overtime. In fact,
he knew that it had gotten even stronger.
He went through all her walls and saw a woman who was lonely and compassionate.
He couldn't help but feel sorry for the way he had treated her in the past.
Rachel had always been grateful and kind.
In fact, she had never thought of herself this entire time she entered into marriage with him. Guilt
brewed in his heart, and he shook his head.
Regretting his actions was of no use. It wasn't as if he could go back and change what had happened
to them. If he hadn't been in a relationship with Celine, he might have followed his grandfather's wishes
five years ago.
Maybe he could have been gentler to her, but maybe he didn't.
Maybe even if he didn't have Celine, he would have another woman in his life.
Either way, it would be unfair to Rachel.
Although he couldn't change the past,
he would certainly change the future.
It was time to make a choice.
He could not hide his feelings anymore and lead these two women astray.
At first,
he had been so confused about these things, but now, he knew what he truly wanted.
Standing beside the bed, Jack leaned forward and kissed her forehead.
He wanted to form a real family with Rachel. He couldn't help but admire her concern and warmth
under her cool mask.
From beginning to end, he had been a jerk, and he was incredibly sorry for that.
Jack placed his forehead against hers with a smile. "I'll make it up to you," he whispered.
Even if Rachel didn't love him as deeply as he loved her, that doesn't matter.
He would try his best to win her trust overtime.
Rachel's phone suddenly rang on the table. He saw that she shifted under the quilt.
He walked over and hung up the phone without seeing who was calling.
Rachel furrowed her eyebrows before pausing when it was silent again. Without another word, she fell
asleep.
He didn't breathe a sigh of relief until he made sure that she had fallen asleep again. He grasped her
phone and walked out of the room.
He placed it on the tea table and ignored the caller.
If it was urgent,
then it would ring again.
Henry's proposal came so suddenly that Lea didn't even know when he got the ring.
"Will you marry me?" he asked as he knelt down and smiled.
Although she was touched by his antics, her mind got a hold of her herself.
Their relationship had never been sweet.
In fact, their relationship had been filled with fights and disagreements that there were times when she
thought that they only meet to insult the hell out of each other.
They had only been with each other for a few months. Were they really meant to be together or were
they meant to fight each other till the end of time?
Although they were passionate, she didn't know if she had confidence in their relationship as a whole.
Besides, Henry had only proposed to her because she was pregnant.
Now that her life had been completely overturned, she didn't even know what to do.
She had never thought about marriage or children.
And now, it seemed that she needed to face it all in one go.
She was dumbfounded.
