Chapter 339 Will You ept Me Again


    The single bed that he had moved to the master bedroom was pushed back into the study at


    Rachel''s insistence. Because of this, Jack had to sleep in the study for the next few days.


    For several nights, he tried to sneak back into Rachel''s room, only to find that she had already


    locked the door.


    However, when he tried to open the door this time around, it was unlocked. When he pushed it


    open, he could see Rachel changing into her pajamas. Her loud shriek shocked him out of his


    reverie, and he immediately closed the door.


    Rachel''s face turned bright red. "Don''t you know how to knock?" she shouted as her re


    darkened.


    He didn''t expect that he would catch her naked. "I''ll pay attention next time," he promised. "Are you


    decent now?"


    "You cane in."


    ncing at the thick pajamas she was wearing, he resisted the urge to groan. ''Why not wear some


    thin nightgown?'' However, he didn''t dare to express his thought.


    Rachel crossed her arms over her chest, feeling ufortable at the way that he stared at her.


    "Why are you looking for me?" she snapped.


    Although the two of them had already seen each other naked, it was still embarrassing for her,


    especially since she wasn''t ready to ept him yet.


    His mouth twitched. "I cooked noodles."


    "Oh, I''ve already eaten." Her voice lowered guiltily.


    When she saw that Jack''s face had darkened immensely, she protested weakly, "I didn''t know that


    we''re supposed eat together."


    Before she could finish her words, he mmed the door to her bedroom and stomped into the


    kitchen. Without missing a beat, he poured the two bowls of noodles into the trash can and stalked


    out of the apartment.


    He didn''t expect for her to act so coldly towards him. Jack had been there for her from day till night.


    For her to assume that they would eat on their own was ridiculous.


    Were all his efforts done in vain?


    When Michael had been dragged out of the house to drink, he didn''t need to question Jack to know


    what had happened. He chuckled. "Who knew that you would have such a fragile heart?" he


    teased. "What do you mean?" Jack gritted his teeth, looking like a spoiled kid who didn''t get his


    Christmas present.


    At the look of his face, Michael couldn''t help himself. He spat the wine he had been drinking and


    burst intoughter. However, he immediately froze when the wine he had spat out sprayed all over


    Jack''s face.


    ''Shit!''


    He didn''t dareugh. Instead, he grabbed a bag of tissues from the counter and offered it to him. "I


    couldn''t help it. Sorry," Michael murmured, but even then, he still couldn''t hide the smile ying on


    his lips.


    "Could you be anymore disgusting?" Jack clenched his jaw and shot him a re. He stood up and


    went to the bathroom to clean up, but when he came out, he saw that Michael was mming his


    fists against the counter. The man let out a chokedugh as he downed his ss of wine.


    "What''s so funny?" he asked coldly.


    "You''re the CEO of MK Group, and you feel gutted just because Rachel didn''te back to have


    dinner with you? Isn''t that ironic?" Michael tried his best to straighten his back as he patted his


    friend on the shoulder. "You''ve made a big deal out of it. You aren''t even together at this stage.


    Before Rachel agrees to date you, she''s independent, and right now, it''s best that you don''t


    overreact." Jack picked up a ss and gulped it all down, thinking about what his friend had just


    told him.


    These days, he seemed to have be even more anxious as to what she did and where she


    went. A part of him was still anxious and fearful that she''d leave him again. He sighed, ordering


    another ss. This time, he wasn''t willing to let her go that easily.


    The next day, Rachel got up right on time. She yawned as her eyes adjusted to the sunlight that had


    streamed from her windows. When she opened the door, a body fell onto her feet.


    She stumbled a few steps back, startled at the sudden appearance. Her lips twitched into a frown.


    She bent down and patted Jack''s cheek. "Why are you here? Didn''t you go back to your room?" she


    asked.


    "Huh?"


    Jack slowly stirred. When he opened his eyes and stared into her curious gaze, memories ofst


    night rushed back to him like a tidal wave.


    It seemed that he had drunk too much with Michaelst night. When he came back, he initially


    wanted to apologize, but when he found that the door was locked, he squatted at the doorway. Due


    to the immense amount of alcohol in his system, he must''ve fallen asleep.


    He staggered up, dusting his pants. "Are you still angry?" he whispered.


    "Why would I be angry?"


    "Rachel Shen."


    She froze. It had been a long time since Jack had called out her name so seriously.


    Subconsciously, she looked up.


    He was leaning more and more towards her, and his eyes were zed over with an indescribable


    emotion. "What are you doing?" She tried to push him away, but it was to no avail.


    Rachel licked her lips tentatively, not knowing what effect it brought on the man in front of her.


    Not being able to help himself anymore, he held her cheek and lowered his head again. His lips


    brushed against hers. The kiss was nowhere near gentle. Instead, it was urgent and fierce, as if the


    person had been craving it for so long.


    It took a while for Rachel to realize what was happening.


    Emotion rolled out of his gaze as he pressed her hands down and bounded her body into his arms.


    Unable to struggle, she found herself suffocated by his kiss.


    He kissed her relentlessly, like a general surveying the territory. He pressed against her frail body as


    he deepened the kiss.


    It was then that Jack had tasted the sweetness he had longed for, and he wasn''t going to miss his


    chance. Instead, he darted his tongue across her lips, wanting nothing more than to savor the


    moment.


    Feeling the woman stiffen under him, he snapped out of it. He backed away, satisfied by the kiss


    they just had.


    When he finally let go of her, Rachel was still stunned from what had happened.


    Her face changed almost immediately. She was so furious that she pushed him back. "What the hell


    are you doing?" she demanded.


    Her eyes were rimmed red and her hands were clenched. A growl bubbled up in her throat as she


    red at him. In all honesty, Jack found it quite adorable.


    With an intoxicating smile ying on his lips, he held her tightly in his arms, regardless of her


    struggle.


    "Let me go,"


    she snapped.


    "No!" Jack answered firmly.


    Without another thought, Rachel stomped on his foot. Just as he loosened his grip, she took this


    opportunity to push him away and head to her room, but he suddenly pulled her back into his arms.


    He held her shoulders and forced her to look him in the eye. "Can you ept me again?" he said


    lowly.

    Panic shed in her gaze. Although she tried to hide it, he could clearly see what was going on. The


    smile on his lips turned bitter.


    "I figured out the reason why you left three years ago. You''ve read the news about me and Celine.


    She froze, not expecting that he would mention the past. She grabbed his hands and pushed them


    away. "I don''t want to talk about it," she said fiercely. "Let me go. I''mte for work."


    Jack stood in front of her, blocking her way. "I used to think that there''s no need to talk about the


    past, but it seems that you''re still holding onto it. It''s time that we make things clear."


    "Even if we do, that won''t change us."


    It wasn''t until now that Rachel realized how much she had been avoiding her past. She didn''t want


    to talk about it. Hell, she didn''t even want to think about it. In her mind, it was as if the past had


    never existed.


    She pushed him away and locked herself inside her bedroom. Gazing at the locked door, he sighed.


    ''Forget it. I''ll let her calm down first.'' At first, he wanted to apologize, but upon seeing how that had


    gone earlier, both of them needed some space to calm down first.


    Sitting on the floor, a part of Rachel knew that what Jack had said was right. Although she refused


    to acknowledge what had happened to them, the news was still like a thorn in her heart, preventing


    her from starting over again.


    Just as she was thinking about it, Bill suddenly called her. "Rachel, you didn''t go to work today?"


    "No, I didn''t." She had just asked the hospital for a day''s leave.


    "Let''s go out," he offered. "I need to hide from Andy. He has been insisting that I go to this party, but


    I really don''t want to go. We can head to the park for a while."


    After hesitating for a while, Rachel leaned against the door to make sure that Jack wasn''t outside


    anymore. "See youter," she said.


    She might as well go for a walk.


    The air in the suburbs was fresh. Rachel just spent the time listening to Bill about the movie he had


    just watchedst night. She smiled and asked questions from time to time, but usually, she just let


    him do the talking.


    Soon enough, it was already getting dark. He nced at his watch. "Finally, the party has just


    started. I don''t have to go."


    "Congrattions!" She grinned.


    "What do you want to eat? It''s my treat."


    After taking two steps forward, he pped his forehead in exasperation. "I forgot to by some


    medicine for Andy. He says that he''s been suffering from a stomachache."


    "Go ahead."


    Bill grabbed her arm. "Let''s go together, so I can still treat you to dinner."


    Sitting in the car, she watched as he trotted inside the venue. She rolled the windows down and


    appreciated the gusts of wind blowing at her face. She closed her eyes and rested.


    At that time, Jack and Michael also got out of the car.


    Tonight''s host was Michael''s business partner. They had multiple projects together, so he had to


    come to this party. As one of the shareholders of thepany, Jack was also invited.


    The two of them headed to the entrance when suddenly, Michael took two steps back and pointed


    at the car beside him. "Is that Rachel?"


    At the familiar voice, she froze. It was then that she understood what having bad luck entailed.


    When she opened her eyes, she was met with Jack''s frightening re. "Why are you here?"
