Stuck in you Chapter 196 Visiting Lea's Father

Prev Chapter Next Chapter

When Jack and Celine were still together, he had never been this affectionate to her.

Besides, he had emphasized many times that he would never allow his personal affairs to affect his

work.

But since he had gotten together with Rachel, his moods were always affected. Although he didn't

mention Rachel, Austin knew that she was the main reason for his boss's sudden change of mood.

For Austin, Rachel was also like Jack. They both looked indifferent all the time.

Every time Rachel visited Jack's office, she always wore a calm and expressionless face. Austin was

so surprised why Jack was so obsessed with her. He seemed to even love her much more than he did

to Celine.

Sometimes, he couldn't help wondering secretly. All the while, he thought that Celine would finally

succeed in becoming Mrs. Fu. But all of a sudden, she just disappeared.

Then Rachel suddenly appeared out of nowhere and Jack announced that she was his wife.

Since then, Jack had been trying to do everything to win her heart. Austin thought that nothing seemed

to be impossible for Jack when it came to Rachel.

Jack had arranged everything properly for Rachel. He definitely valued her and cared for her so much.

Austin had been working for Jack for many years, so he witnessed Jack's love for both women. He was

able to see clearly how different Jack had treated Rachel compared to Celine.

But as a good employee, he had no right to pry with his boss's personal life.

His main task was to serve Jack and follow his orders. Whatever he saw and heard inside Jack's office,

he must always keep it a secret.

At first, Austin thought that Jack really loved Celine. But as time went by, he noticed that she was just

like a beautiful toy that he liked a lot when he was young.

Then the time came that he got fed up with it and lost his interest, so he just got rid of it easily.

Sometimes, Austin couldn't help comparing Celine to a beautiful dog. Because of its cuteness and

obedience, Jack was fond of it. But when the dog suddenly became unruly and stirred up a lot of

troubles, he decided to send it away.

No matter how much he liked Celine, she became frivolous in Jack's eyes as time passed by.

So, when he was still with Celine, Austin could notice the weariness written on his face most of the

time.

But Jack was different when it came to Rachel. He was very careful in everything that involved her.

Austin could say that Jack was even more afraid of losing Rachel than losing a hundred million

business deal.

As a matter of fact, Jack didn't bring Celine to his office often. But Rachel had been in his office very

frequently.

Austin sighed in his heart. It was really true that even heroes, also fall for beauties.

Although he didn't say it directly, he had already hinted Jack repeatedly that Rachel was getting in his

way.

He had reminded Jack that his personal affairs had been affecting his job too much.

Fortunately, Jack listened to him. He started to make some changes. However, it wasn't in the way that

it used to be.

Eventually, Austin decided to accept the fact that Rachel was now the main character in his boss's life.

And in the end, she would be the biggest winner.

Perhaps Rachel wasn't aware of it.

If Rachel knew what Austin was thinking about, she would be at a loss whether to laugh or to cry.

Looking at his boss's vigorous and agile hand signing the documents, Austin couldn't help asking, "Mr.

Fu, why Mrs. Fu didn't come today?"

"She has something else to do," Jack answered while reading a document.

The smile on Jack's face didn't escape Austin's eyes when he mentioned Rachel.

All of a sudden, Austin thought of his wife. He and his wife fell in love with each other in high school

and got married after graduation. They had been married for more than ten years.

But up to this day, he couldn't remember that he had been this affectionate to his wife.

Looking at his boss now made him realize that he should also love his wife deeply and treat her well.

Austin finished giving Jack his schedule of activities for today, so he decided to go out of his office. But

when he was about to open the door, Jack raised his head and called out, "Wait a minute."

He took out an envelope from his drawer, so Austin went back to him.

"Send this letter for me. And ask the person in charge of the resort in Mosa City to have a room

reserved for me and my wife," Jack said.

Austin immediately understood that Jack was going to Mosa City so he asked, "When are you

leaving?"

Jack turned to the calendar on his desk and encircled the date of the day after tomorrow.

Austin nodded and said, "Alright, I'll have someone book your tickets then."

Meanwhile, Lea and Henry went to meet her family. She had already anticipated what might happen,

so she had already prepared Henry mentally several times in advance.

Lea noticed that Henry looked indifferent. He seemed not to worry about anything at all. She couldn't

help wondering if he was just too confident or too silly.

'I have already told you all the possibilities. I just hope you won't cry when they happen,' Lea warned

Henry at the back of her head.

Before they arrived at Lea's parental home, Henry was full of confidence. But he wasn't expecting what

would happen next.

Lea's father had a drink with him and Henry had too much alcohol. Looking at his miserable look, she

didn't feel sorry for him. Instead, she wanted to laugh.

"You deserve it!" But still, she asked a maid to prepare a bowl of soup to sober him up.

Henry lay down on her bed, completely drunk and murmuring something. Upon realizing that he was

reeking of alcohol, Lea bent over to rip his clothes off.

However, the moment she touched him, Henry suddenly shook her hands off and waved his hands.

Lea moved back a little to avoid being hit.

He kept on shouting, "I can't drink anymore! I can't!"

Lea stared at him, stunned.

When she had finally ripped his clothes off, the swollen red marks on his body were still there. Earlier,

when they confessed to Lea's father, Henry stood in front of him stiffly and said, "Dad, I'm sorry. I've

been a bastard. Please hit me! But please, don't hurt my wife and my child."

Henry's words made Lea's father furious. He immediately punched Henry mercilessly and shouted,

"What did you just call me?

You bastard! Who is your dad?"

Obviously, Lea's father couldn't accept Henry as a son-in-law.

Lea wanted to defend Henry, but there was nothing she could do. Her father was already in a bad

mood. The more she said something, the angrier he got.

She couldn't stop her father from beating Henry. But to her surprise, he just stood there and accepted

her father's punches.

Lea's father was a retired military. Even Lea's brother was afraid of his strength. She didn't expect that

Henry would just kneel down and silently endure the pain.

Even Lea's father was also surprised by Henry's reaction. Thus, his impression of him suddenly

changed. Looking at his daughter's red eyes, he eventually stopped beating him.

In the end, Lea's father gave in. He finally accepted that his loving daughter was taken by another man.

When Lea was able to remove all of Henry's clothes, she decided to call Rachel.

As she turned to look at him again, she noticed that Henry looked extremely ugly while sleeping, so she

immediately covered him with a quilt.

Lea saw a lot of swollen red marks on his body. She had already applied medicine on them, so she

hoped they would get better the next day.

Rachel also knew Lea's father was as hot-tempered as Lea.

Although he spoiled Lea very much, he would still teach her a lesson if she made a mistake. As

expected, her father was enraged by their sudden confession, so he beat Henry up.

Lea was his youngest daughter so she was precious to him. Among his three children, she was his

favorite so he didn't have the heart to beat her up.

Actually, Lea was also confident that Henry could get through her father. She knew that as long as she

chose a man she liked, her father would support her no matter how angry he was in the beginning.

Moreover, she was pregnant now. Her father would never allow his grandchild to be born without a

father. Could he even afford to see his daughter as a single mother?

In actual fact, Henry was able to past the first test because Lea's father wasn't too hard on him.

But when Rachel heard that Henry was beaten by Lea's father, she couldn't help worrying about him.

She asked, "Is your dad... really very angry?"

'He looked at Henry as an enemy,' Lea thought.

But she didn't say it loud to Rachel. Instead, she said, "He is lucky that he is still alive. But he's now

lying in bed like a dead dog after being forced to drink too much."

Rachel burst into laughter as she imagined how Henry looked like.

With his arms around her waist, Jack rested his chin on her shoulder and asked in a low voice, "What

are you laughing at?"

Lea heard Jack's voice, so she raised an eyebrow and asked Rachel, "Is Jack beside you?"

Fortunately, Rachel was talking to Lea with earphones. If they happened to be on a video call, Lea

would have seen their position right now. Rachel didn't know how she would react.

"Yes. He just arrived," she answered.

Lea had a lot of stories to tell Rachel but when she imagined that someone was crouching beside

Rachel and listening to their conversation, she changed her mind. So she said lightly, "Well, let's just

talk about this next time. I have a lot of things to tell you."
