Chapter 302 Rachel Left


    "No, it''s fine."


    Jack took out his handkerchief from his pocket and wiped the spilled contents carefully. "I''ll change


    later."


    ncing at the empty coffee cup, then at the closed elevator, Austin couldn''t help but sigh in relief.


    It seemed that he was lucky that his boss was in such a good mood.


    If he wasn''t, then he couldn''t bring himself to imagine the results.


    Jack opened the door and put down the key on the table. "Rachel?" he called out, only to hear


    silence.


    "Did she go out again?"


    Without thinking too much, he looked at the ring stain on his shirt. He took off his suit and


    decided to take a shower first. Maybe she woulde back soon.


    At that moment, Rachel was sitting in the back seat and staring out the window indifferently. Nobody


    could tell what she was willing at this moment.


    Lucas'' voice sounded abruptly in the car. "Have you already made up your mind?" She nodded.


    "You know how I''ve been looking forward to the training."


    Knowing how destroyed her rtionship was with Jack, she knew that going abroad was her best


    option.


    She''d be much better off in busying herself there than suffering here with him.


    Her surroundings became more and more remote. Soon enough, she could already hear airnes


    taking off as their engines echoed across the fields.


    The airport was already nearby.


    "Are you really not going to tell Jack?" he asked worriedly.


    "It won''t be necessary."


    She shook her head.


    If she had told him, then things would''ve been much more difficult. It would be better to leave it like


    this.


    Jack suddenly sneezed. He rubbed his nose and wrapped himself with a bath towel. A feeling of


    uneasiness swept over him as he stepped out of the shower.


    At first, he didn''t take it seriously, but every second made him even more nervous. He walked out of


    the bathroom and paused. A frown slid into his lips as he stepped back and nced at the sink.


    From where he had left it, there should''ve been two electric toothbrushes, women''s facial cleanser,


    and a face wash. Now, his toothbrush was the only thing left.


    ''Where''s her stuff?


    Did a thiefe in?''


    Jack waved his thoughts away. He walked into his bedroom to see that the dresser was also empty.


    His clothes were the only ones left.


    Immediately, he put on his clothes and ran into every room.


    It was then that he realized that all of her things had disappeared. In fact, it looked as if she had


    never even lived here.


    If he hadn''t seen the divorce agreement and the keys on the front table, Jack would''ve thought it


    was all just a dream. He grabbed the papers from the table and his eyes widened.


    She had already signed the divorce agreement.


    ''She wants to divorce me?''


    The papers slipped from his grasp as he quickly picked up his phone. His hands trembled at the


    thought of losing her. He dialed her number, only to find that it was powered off.


    Where did she go?


    Where could she go?


    Her job was situated in the city, so she couldn''t have gone that far.


    Jack took a deep breath, trying to calm himself. He wouldn''t let her leave him like this.


    Back then, he used to want to get a divorce agreement. It was just ironic how he got the papers


    which he had wished to receive before.


    Eric turned in his sleep as he snored loudly. His sweet dreams were ying in the back of his mind


    when he felt his weight being lifted up. He scrambled in horror and blinked wearily. "Jack? What the


    hell are you doing?"


    Jack didn''t even bother saying another word as he came onto him, putting him under his grip.


    "What the fuck?" Eric yelled out as he shoved him. Seeing Jack''s gloomy face, he couldn''t help but


    shrink back. "Why are you here?"


    "Where''s Rachel?"


    He didn''t beat around the bush.


    Eric frowned. "How am I supposed to know? I asked her to go back once she recovered from her


    fever. Why are you here?" Jack didn''t bother to argue with him. Instead, he grabbed the man''s


    phone and dialed Rachel''s number. However, it was also powered off.


    "What the hell are you doing now? Give it back!"


    Seeing the urgent look in his face, Eric finally understood. "She isn''t home?"


    Jack slowly nodded in response. It seemed that even Eric didn''t know about this.


    He didn''t stay to look at Eric''s questioning gaze. Instead, he walked out with a mission in his mind.


    Lea was next in his list.


    However, no matter how many times he tried calling her, she didn''t bother to answer her phone.


    Sometimes, she would even hang up on him. It seemed that the woman despised him.


    This time, he tried calling Henry. "Get your woman on the phone."


    "Why?" Henry nced at Lea, who was lyingfortably on the bed.


    "I need to ask her something."


    Without asking any more questions, Henry walked towards her. "It''s from Jack. He wants to talk to


    you."


    She scoffed. "I don''t want to talk to that asshole." "It might be something important," he urged.


    "Honey, didn''t you say you want some barbecue? How about I''ll take you to eat barbecue if you


    answer the phone?"


    There was a pause, and she turned. "You promise?"


    She couldn''t just resist delicious food.


    Yesterday, she had just watched some Korean drama wherein the couple went on a date in a


    barbecue shop. Lea almost drooled at the sight of the meat.


    This was why she asked him to take her out to eat there, but Henry had other ns.


    "It wouldn''t be good for the baby," he had said, wagging his finger. "You should eat more healthily


    you know."


    It was as if she was talking to her own mother.


    When he nodded, she immediately sat up and took the phone. "Well? What do you want to say?"


    "Did Rachele to you?"


    She frowned. "No. Why?"


    After the phone call they had that day, the two texted each other from time to time.


    She had asked her if she wanted to stay with them for a few more days to rx her mind, but


    Rachel refused.


    These past two days, Lea and Henry had been so busy in moving back to the Qin family''s house


    that she forgot to give her a call.


    Jack frowned. "You''re telling the truth?"


    There were only three people who got along with Rachel. Eric, Lea, and Lucas. If the two of them


    didn''t know about her disappearance, then Lucas was the only factor left.


    "Why would I lie to you?"


    she snapped. "What happened?"


    Her forehead creased at the thought of being questioned.


    "Nothing."


    After hearing what he had to say, Lea threw the phone on the quilt and gritted her teeth.


    "Don''t be angry," Henry coaxed her. "Change your clothes. We can go get the barbecue you want."


    "I''m not in the mood."

    The more she thought about it, the more confused she became. It was 7 p.m. Why would Jack be


    calling to ask about Rachel when nothing had happened?


    ''Did she run away from home?'' She hurriedly called Rachel, only to find that the woman''s phone


    was turned off.


    With arge stomach, Lea got out of bed hurriedly. "Henry, check the flight. Let''s go see Rachel."


    A part of her felt that something had gone wrong.


    "Mr. Fu, Mrs. Fu took the flight at 6 p.m. this evening with Lucas Zhou."


    That sentence repeated in Jack''s mind over and over again.


    Jack had gone to the Zhou family''s house only to see that Lucas wasn''t home either.


    Seeing this, he had no other choice but to call someone to investigate on this matter.


    He didn''t expect such a result.


    It seemed that she had left with Lucas.


    ''Are they going to elope?''


    At the thought, a bitter smile slipped into his lips as he downed the wine bottle in front of him.


    When Lea and Henry arrived, they were immediately met with the stench of alcohol that wafted from


    the open spaces of the door.


    Lea tried using the doorbell, but no one answered. Henry helped her back away before he kicked


    the door.


    He kicked it ten times before the door finally swung open.


    The smell of alcohol and cigarette greeted them.


    Jack was seen sitting on the floor and drinking the bottle of wine in a daze. Although he was


    muttering something, he couldn''t say it clearer enough for them to understand him.


    "What the hell is going on? Jack, where is Rachel?" Lea was about to walk in when Henry stopped


    her.


    "The smell is too strong. Wait outside," he advised. "I''ll go in and have a look."


    Jack must''ve heard the noise out the door. He stood up hurriedly and turned around. "Rachel, are


    you back?"


    His face darkened when he saw that it was Henry. "Why are you here?"


    "What happened? Lea was so worried that she insisted that wee over."


    "Rachel left."


    Jack''s shoulders trembled.


    Although Rachel felt homesick after a few months being in France, she quickly suppressed it by


    adding more work into her schedule. Every day, she would wake up at five in the morning to jog


    around the blog. After an hour, she would set off for school and begin her training.


    The training was actually pretty intense.


    Almost everyone was better than her when she first stepped in.


    Due to this, she didn''t really have much time to enjoy France as she stayed most of her time in the


    library or in her dorm to study.
