Stuck in you
Chapter 78 Another Dream
Rachel wanted to tell Jack that Celine had come to give her problem a few times, but she decide otherwise.
It was better to stay silent because she knew that even if she said something right now, Jack would never believe her.
"All right," she simply said.
Celine, on the other hand, finally gave up on calling Jack and decided to leave his house.
She drove aimlessly and without a destination in mind. She wanted to look for Jack, but she had no clue where to start looking. If he had just picked up her call, she wouldn't be crying right now.
'Is he planning to break up with me?' Celine shook her head at the thought. Jack was not the type of person who would treat her like this without good reason. If he wanted to break up, he would've said it to her face to face.
Unbeknownst to Celine, the real reason that Jack became so cold to her was because he didn't have the time to talk to her in person yet.
She guessed that he was avoiding to meet her because she had lied to him the other day.
She wanted to apologize to him sincerely.
She was willing to do anything to have him back.
But there was a faint voice at the back of her head telling her that this time was different and that he had never treated her like this before.
She tried to keep her focus, but her mind was too clouded.
She didn't know where else she could go, so she drove to a bar.
Neon lights were flashing in front of the bar. She held her phone in her trembling hands. "One last call," she sighed.
Still no one answered her call. She began pounding the steering wheel while screaming, "Why won't you pick up the call? Damn you, Jack!"
Celine took deep breaths to calm herself down. If she lost her cool, it would be all over for her. She looked at the bar in front of her and she remembered her old tricks—she could date another man to make Jack jealous. With this in mind, she devised a plan.
Celine pursed her lips and put on her lipstick. She stared at herself in the rearview mirror and wore a playful smile. Then she called the guy who invited her to the yacht the other day.
"Hi Aaron," she whispered to her phone. The light from the bar glinted in her eyes, and the sound of voice was enough to make any man feel weak. "Would you mind doing me a favor?"
During this time, Jack was staying at Rachel's—their wedding house. He barely visited this house.
He made a short call to his assistant and instructed him to send his stuff over. His assistant arrived with his belongings before nightfall.
Before going into the shower, he remembered that he had a wound on his head. His assistant didn't bring him any liquid medicine.
If he wanted medicine, he had to go buy some. The problem was, he didn't know where the pharmacy was so he thought Rachel could help him.
