Since that day, although they lived under the same roof, the two of them didn't say a word.
Every morning, when Rachel went downstairs, he had already left. And in the evening, she went back
to her room to rest, but he hadn't come back yet.
And how could she know anything about the banquet last night?
But now, in the eyes of outsiders, she and Jack were still a couple. She knew that they were equal in
wealth and loss.
Rachel knew that when others said that Jack was a playboy, which must have something to do with
her.
She looked down at her belly. It was only five months, then she would have nothing to do with him.
There was really no need to endure other people's criticism at this time.
It was better to find a random reason to explain this matter and block their gossip.
After a moment of silence, Rachel folded the newspaper and returned it to Celia. "These reporters like
to catch groundless accusations, or no one will read these newspapers. When you go back, if someone
asks you again, you can explain to them. Thank you."
Celia was the most suitable person. She nodded and said solemnly, "Okay, Rachel, don't worry."
As soon as she saw him off, Rachel picked up the tea cup and took a sip. Her phone on the table rang.
Jonathan's deep voice came from the receiver, "Rachel, where were you last night?"
Knowing that he wanted to ask about the news on the newspaper in a roundabout way, Rachel smiled
faintly and said directly, "Do you want to ask about the news about Jack?"
"Yes." Being directly pointed out, Jonathan paused and asked, "Don't be angry. I'll deal with that brat
then. If he does such a thing, it will embarrass our Fu family."
Rachel adjusted her position, "I'm not angry. I asked that girl to go to the party with Jack last night."
Rachel repeated what she had just said to Celia to Jonathan. She finally managed to comfort him. After
hanging up the phone, she only felt a burst of exhaustion in her heart.
At the same time, Austin pushed the door open from the outside, looked at the pile of documents on
the table and asked, "Boss, have you dealt with these documents?"
Jack put down his phone and rubbed between his eyebrows, "Not yet. Forget it today. I'll deal with it
tomorrow."
"Okay." Austin nodded. He was really confused. Normally, it didn't take half an hour for Jack to deal
with these documents.
But today, these documents were sent here as soon as he went to work this morning. It was almost
time to go off work, but he still didn't finish any of them.
Austin was quite curious. "Boss, are you okay? Or do you feel uncomfortable?"
"Nothing." Jack leaned back, crossed his hands in front of him and closed his eyes slightly.
Seeing that he didn't seem to want to say anything more, Austin nodded slightly and turned around to
leave. Suddenly, Jack's voice came from behind, "Austin, if you see your girlfriend with another man,
will you call and question her?"
Austin was stunned for a while and answered, "No, I won't."
Jack suddenly opened his eyes and said shrewdly, "Tell me the truth!"
Hearing this, Austin subconsciously told the truth, "Yes, if I see it, I will definitely call to ask what
happened at the first time. Otherwise, I will feel very uncomfortable."
After saying that, he noticed that Jack's face suddenly darkened. He twitched the corners of his mouth
awkwardly and quickly added, "Boss, maybe Miss Rachel is just busy. She might not see the news and
know nothing, so she didn't... "
"All right." Jack pinched between his eyebrows with a gloomy face.
Last night, he specially took Scarlett to attend the party. He deliberately let the reporters take pictures
of the two of them and published them on the newspaper. He wanted to stimulate Rachel to see if she
was really so cold and didn't care about what he did outside.
Therefore, he didn't do anything today, just holding his cell phone and waiting for her call. But the whole
day passed, his cell phone was still motionless.
With a subtle change of expression in his eyes, Austin wondered if he had said something more. He
was busy with his work, so he left the office quietly without waiting for the answer of Jack.
Looking at the closed office door again, Austin breathed a sigh of relief.
Jack frowned and a myriad of thoughts crowded into his mind. He had dialed the number of Rachel, but
he didn't dial it. Finally, he locked the phone again and threw it aside. Unexpectedly, after a while, he
received a message from her. It was from her. "I have something to tell you. Go home early."
At this moment, he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, with a trace of smile in the corners of his eyes
and eyebrows.
Now that Rachel was in the executive department of the hospital, the working time was much more
stable. As soon as the time came, she turned off the computer and got off work. When she arrived
home, she didn't expect that Jack had already sat on the sofa. She looked up and said lightly, "I didn't
expect you to come back so early."
"I happen to have nothing to do in the company today." Jack walked up to her and tried to take the bag
from her with a flattering look on his face. But Rachel moved her hand back and said, "I can do it
myself. I don't need your help."
Jack then patted the cushion on the sofa for two more times and grinned, "Then sit here."
"No, thanks."
Sitting directly on the armchair, Rachel put a bag of things on the tea table and said expressionlessly,
"Jack, I just want to ask you, can I leave now?"
Jack frowned and asked, "Where are you going?"
She looked up at him with a hint of coldness in her eyes. "Since you have a new girlfriend now, it's time
for me to retreat without disturbing you."
She was really jealous!
Jack moved aside, with a sense of complacency in his heart. "Are you jealous?"
Rachel turned to look at him and said coldly, "Is it necessary for me to be jealous? Our relationship has
been finished. Now it's just you threaten me with my child that I stay here."
She put everything on the table and said wearily, "But you have a new girlfriend now, and you still force
me to stay with you. Do you think it's interesting?"
The look on Jack's face changed slightly, and his black eyes were burning with anger. Thinking of that
she wanted to leave him, the anger in his heart suddenly surged up a little.
He smiled coldly, "Yes, it's interesting!"
Turning her eyes away, Rachel didn't look at him. Instead, she looked at the carpet beneath her feet
and said, "In that case, I'll stay until the baby is born. During this period of time, I don't care who you
are with and which girl you bring to public to be reported. I just hope that you can make a statement
first and expose the news that we two have separated in advance, so that I don't need to help you
explain when everyone asks me."
'A break-up statements!
How could she be so eager to get rid of me?' Jack narrowed his eyes with only bottomless darkness.
"Well, we are still together, aren't we?"
With a faint smile on her face, Rachel said sarcastically to Jack, "Okay, as you like."
Rachel didn't expect that he would agree, but she still wanted to make it clear to him. Now that his
expression of unwillingness was so obvious, she didn't want to say anything more to him. After saying
that, she stood up and went back to the room on the two floor.
Following her, Jack wanted to say something but finally said nothing. He watched her close the door
without looking back.
At this moment, he hoped that Rachel wouldn't continue this topic. He was afraid that he couldn't
control himself to say something unpleasant, which would make this dangerous relationship shake
again. On the other hand, he wanted her to say something. It seemed that only she said something
could prove that she didn't have no feelings for him.
At least, when she saw him with another girl, she would still feel uncomfortable and want to question
him!
These contradictions touched in his heart randomly, making him feel annoyed and not happy.
On the other side, Scarlett, who had been reported on the news, was sitting on the sofa arrogantly and
attending the Party of the young ladies. She enjoyed being watched by them, inquiring and curious.
She cleared her throat and said, "Don't hold it. Just ask what you want to know."
She said in a condescending manner.
The girls also heard it, but they couldn't help but feel curious. One of them, Aimee Yang, asked first,
"Scarlett, what method have you used? Why do you suddenly hook up with Jack from the MK Group?"
Scarlett knocked on the glass table with a spoon, "What are you talking about? Hook up? I'm dating
him. He's my boyfriend."
Obviously, they didn't believe it. They winked at each other. Aimee Yang said, "If it's true, you can call
him out and let our sisters see him and check for you."
"He is too busy." Scarlett's expression changed slightly and her attitude became evasive at once.
These changes were obvious in their eyes, so they became more excited. "You are his girlfriend. He
will come soon after you call him."
