Chapter 239 A Furious Jonathan


    Given the current situation, Jack was afraid that the rtionship between him and Rachel would be


    destroyed for good.


    In fact, the person who tried to drive Celine away from the city wasn''t sent by Jonathan, but by one


    of Baron''s ex-girlfriends.


    After Jack found out about this, he decided to let it go, as it had nothing to do with his family.


    The next day, Jonathan found that Celine came back to the city and was in contact with Jack again.


    This was why Jonathan wasted no time in calling Jack over.


    What pissed him off was the fact that he didn''t hear it from his son but from a passerby.


    Given that Jack and Jack emerging in public as a couple wasn''t a small matter, word got around


    pretty fast.


    A friend of Jonathan''s called him up to congratte him.


    "Where have you been hiding your daughter-inw?" the man said jokingly. Jonathanughed. "We


    didn''t hide her." Tracy could hear her husband''sughter from the balcony. She smiled and shook


    her head.


    After watering the flowers and nts on the balcony, she ced the watering can on the side and


    went ahead to wash her hands. The night wind brought a sense of heat from afar. The leaves of her


    nts swayed from the breeze as if waving at her.


    She smiled, pleased to see the fruit of her harvest. Noticing the withering leaves on some of the


    pots, she squatted down and quickly clipped them off.N?velDrama.Org content.


    She ced them into a small garbage bag beside her. Seeing that it was such a good weather, she


    nned to take a walk with Jonathan tonight. Hearing his vivaciousughter, she was sure that he


    was in a good mood.


    However, when she came out with the tied garbage bag, she saw his sullen face as he continued


    talking.


    Tracy frowned, knowing fully well that her ns of walking around would be rescheduled for another


    night.


    She furrowed her eyebrows. A part of her wondered why his mood had changed so suddenly.


    She turned around, about to throw her garbage away.


    However, just as she was about to take two steps towards the door, Jonathan raised his voice. "You


    bastard! Come here right now!"


    Startled, Tracy whirled around. Jonathan had already hung up.


    "What''s wrong? Did something happen?"


    Jonathan gritted his teeth and shook his head. He breathed heavily as if he had justpeted in a


    triathlon. He motioned to his phone. "Our son is a good-for-nothing bastard!"


    She straightened her back. "What happened?"


    "Bastard! What he''s done has shamed us!"


    he spat out. "Someone just called me to congratte my son. Of course, I was ecstatic! Rachel''s


    such a great woman, but do you know what he told me next?"


    Tracy swallowed nervously. Putting the garbage bag aside, she walked over to Jonathan and


    massaged his shoulders. "Calm down," she said softly. "It''s not good for your blood pressure."


    "I know that," Jonathan said impatiently. He stared at Tracy. "Do you know what he did next? The


    manughed at me. It turns out your son took two women to the banquet."


    She furrowed her eyebrows, withdrawing her hands. "Two?"


    "The other was none other than Celine! In fact, you know what else they said? They said that he


    and Celine left Rachel in the banquet and went off!"


    Tracy''s jaw dropped.


    Jonathan was fuming. Once Jack got here, he would teach him a thing or two on how to treat his


    wife.


    Tracy gritted her teeth. She had never expected that her son would act like this!


    Why would he do such a thing?


    She didn''t think that her son would be that unreliable, but considering what he had done in the past,


    she didn''t trust him as much.


    Tracy couldn''t make promises to Jonathan without any evidence.


    Jonathan was furious. He didn''t expect that he would hear such gossip from an outsider! It was as if


    Jack had wanted to stain his name. Jonathan gripped the corners of his phone, cursing angrily,


    "That brat!"


    Tracy tried her best to soothe his anger by rubbing her shoulders, but she didn''t say a word. A part


    of her couldn''t help but think that Jonathan was probably blowing this all out in proportions. In fact,


    he might be even angrier than Rachel herself.


    Rachel wouldn''t be this overwhelmed.


    Jack came as soon as he received the phone call. Before Tracy could have a word with him, he was


    already called into the study.


    Tracy was afraid that Jonathan would punish her son, so she made sure to put away any dangerous


    things in the study before Jack arrived.


    She waited downstairs anxiously the whole time, thinking of how Jack was faring under Jonathan''s


    iron fist.


    ''He''s really in trouble this time.''


    Although Jack had suffered no loss in the business sector, he had failed when it came to marriage


    and love.


    She couldn''t believe that he would mess around with two women at the same time!


    It seemed that she didn''t raise him well at all.


    He still couldn''t let that flirtatious woman go! In fact, it was also high time that she should teach


    Celine a lesson.


    After all, she already considered Rachel as her daughter-inw. She was not going to let another


    woman bully her right under her nose!


    Even then, she was still furious as to Jack''s decision.


    Tracy nned to talk to Jack once he went down. However, what she didn''t expect was for him to


    hurriedly sprint down the stairs. "You''re already finished?" she said, blinking in surprise. She quickly


    surveyed his body for any bruises before she sighed in relief.


    "Your father didn''t hit you, did he?"


    "No, he didn''t." Jack nced at his watch. Without another word, he bypassed his mother and


    rushed out the door.


    Pursing her lips, Tracy pulled him back. "What''s wrong? Where are you going? Can''t you stay and


    talk to me first?"


    Shooting her an apologetic look, Jack gently removed her hand. "Mom, I''ll speak to youter, okay?


    Something happened in thepany."


    Tracy immediately let go for him. "What happened?"


    Afraid that she might worry, he waved his hand. "It''s fine. I''ll take care of it."


    "Drive slowly!"


    He waved his car keys, implying that he already knew that.


    Staring at his back, Tracy couldn''t help but feel disappointed. She used to think that he was so


    annoying when he was a kid. Now that he grew up, he wouldn''t even spend time with her anymore.


    These days, it was already hard enough to reach out to him. He was always so busy. In fact, if she


    wanted to meet up with him, she had to call and set up an appointment.


    In the past seven or eight years, she had led a leisurely life. Back then, she travelled around the


    world, visiting mountains and rivers. Now that she was much older, she couldn''t do the things that


    she wanted to do. Now, she usually visited some of her old friends or go abroad with her husband.


    Seeing her empty house, she felt lonely.


    Both her son and daughter-inw weren''t home. Thinking of this, Tracy envied her friends who


    already had grandchildren.


    This time, she wanted Jack to clear out his rtionship with Celine.


    Otherwise, when would she be able to have a grandchild?


    Thinking about this, she sighed and walked to her room.


    It took Jack two days to solve thepany''s emergency.


    Whenever he had the time, he would reach for his phone and try to call Rachel.


    However, no matter how many times he tried to call her, she wouldn''t answer. In fact, she wouldn''t


    even text him back. She had even cklisted him on social media. At the thought, he couldn''t help


    but smile bitterly. It seemed he had really did it this time.


    As soon as the important dinner party was over, Jack drove to Rachel''s house. He hadn''t been


    there for three consecutive days.


    However, since he was so sleepy, he had dozed up in the car. In fact, he didn''t even wake up until


    dawn.


    Jack blinked his eyes wearily, groaning when he could see the sunlight streaming through his


    window. He nced at his watch. It was already 7 a.m.


    It was incredibly stuffy inside the car. He pushed the door open and got out. The sunlight made him


    cover his sleepy eyes.


    He adjusted his clothes in front of the window, gazing at his reflection. However, no matter what he


    tried, the clothes he was wearing were still wrinkled.


    Giving up, he decided to walk up to her home. After so many days, he finally had the courage to


    come over. He stood on her doorstep and knocked on the door.


    He had already prepared for her initial rejection. Jack straightened his back and closed his eyes,


    praying that she wouldn''t be as harsh to him.


    However, no matter how much he knocked on the door or rang the doorbell, she still didn''t answer.


    Soon enough, fifteen minutes had passed.


    Still, no one responded. After standing for a while, Jack decided to input the password. The door


    clicked open.


    After hesitating for a while, he pushed the door.


    There was a shoe rack next to the entry way. Jack initially had no intention in observing what shoes


    were disyed on the rack,


    but something caught his eye.


    He froze. Why were their men''s shoes on the rack?


    Who would visit her this early in the morning?


    With his hands clenched, he stalked in and surveyed the empty living room.


    He didn''t realize that he looked like a wolf patrolling around his territory.


    However, as he searched the room, he found no traces of another man living here.


    He nced at the kitchen to see it almost untouched. Didn''t she get up yet?
