Chapter 433 It''s You
Before Julie could finish her words, Rachel interrupted her. She knew that Julie wanted to say
something. But considering her rtionship with Jack now, she didn''t want to say anything that she
might regret in the future.
So, to end their conversation, she smiled and said, "Julie, I''m a little tired. I want to rest."
"Okay, Miss Shen. You take a rest now."
Julie had to swallow her words and leave Rachel''s bedroom with the garbage.
In the dark night, a car was speeding up the road. In less than an hour, Jack reached the
neighborhood where he let Scarlett live.
Scarlett was about to go to bed when she heard the doorbell rang. She hurriedly opened the door in
excitement. Seeing Jack standing outside, she asked, "Jack, why are you here?"
"Are you not happy that I''m here?" With an evil grin, Jack lifted her chin and stared at her eyes. In
an instant, the previously cold room suddenly became somewhat ambiguous.
Scarlett smiled shyly and replied, "Of course, I am happy."
Ever since she knew Jack, she had tried every means just to be with him. She had longed to sleep
with him, but until now, he had never touched her at all.
But now, she thought that the moment had finallye, so, she proactively pulled Jack inside and
unbuttoned his shirt one by one. With a coquettish smile, she asked, "Jack, you are staying here
tonight, aren''t you?"
"Yes, I am."
Jack bent down and picked her up. Scarlett screamed, but she couldn''t help giggling with joy.
However, her happiness was not supposed tost long. As soon as Jack put her down on the bed,
he put his shirt back on. Scarlett pulled her half-torn clothes, sat up, and asked in disbelief, "Jack,
what wrong?"
Jack didn''t answer. After putting his shirt on, he just turned around and left quietly. When he saw
Scarlett''s face that resembled Rachel just now, he badly wanted to take her. But his heart couldn''t
be fooled. His heart knew that she was not Rachel.
He couldn''t take any other women to bed except Rachel.
Looking at the empty room again, Scarlett felt so furious. She threw all the things on the dresser to
the floor and screamed, "Rachel, this is all your fault. If not because of you, Jack will never hesitate
to touch me." She squatted on the floor and burst into tears. She thought that she could finally be
with Jack tonight. However, it once again ended in vain.
When she saw the remorse in his eyes before he left, she wished she could go straight to Rachel
and question her. She couldn''t understand why Jack was still so persistent in taking Rachel back
despite the way she was treating him.
In the next few days, Jack didn''te home. But since he was always in the news, Rachel was
somehow updated about him.
Jack and Scarlett went shopping almost every day and bought everything she wanted. He also took
her to various high-end clubs every night. And the biggest news was, he bought her favorite dessert
shop. He renamed the shop "Scarlett''s Bakery" and gave it to her as a gift.
Almost every woman in the city couldn''t help but feel envious. Scarlett was so lucky to meet such a
rich and handsome boyfriend. But some women also couldn''t help sympathizing with Rachel.
In the hospital, her colleagues, who naturally loved gossip, had been considerate of her feelings. No
matter how curious they were, they never dared to ask her face to face. Although they couldn''t help
talking about it a little in private, they made sure that she would not overhear them.
James had oncee to see Rachel, but that time, she was sent to a meeting by her director, so
he just called her.
Rachel already knew why he called, so she said with a smile, "Don''t worry about me. I know how
exaggerated the reporters are once they get a piece of information."
Upon hearing her words, James had no choice but to keep whatever he wanted to say to himself.
He just told her to take good care of herself and call him if anything happened.
Rachel thought that Jack had no ns of showing up in front of her again. But when she got home
from work today, she saw him sitting on the sofa. As usual, his clothes were wrinkled, and he was
reeking of alcohol.
Seeing him looking so miserable, she didn''t know what to think. She just nced at him indifferently
and went upstairs as if she didn''t see him.
But Jack''s voice stopped her. "Get me a ss of water."
At first, she wanted to ignore him. But when she saw that his lips were too dry, she couldn''t afford to
take him for granted. She turned to the kitchen, poured a ss of water, and went back to the living
room. When she handed him the water, he opened his eyes and sneered, "It''s you?"
Rachel didn''t know whether tough or get annoyed. Who did he think she was? But when she
remembered Scarlett, anger welled up in her heart. She said coldly, "I think you''vee to the
wrong ce."
She then turned around and was about to leave, but Jack spoke again. "Rachel, you still care about
me, don''t you?"
Rachel froze, her body stiffened.
He was right. She cared about him all the time. When she was about to admit it to him, his phone
suddenly rang. Thinking that it was Scarlett was like a bucket of ice-cold water that poured on her
and extinguished her desire to finally be honest with him.
She lowered her eyes and sneered, "Why should I care about you?"
Now, Rachel found it difficult to fall asleep. When she went back downstairs for dinner earlier, Jack
was no longer on the sofa. She didn''t know when he had left.
Julie also knew what happened. In the past, she always tried to convince Rachel to make things
clear with Jack. But now, she didn''t say anything anymore.
Rachel recalled what Jack said earlier, and she still felt a little pain in her heart.
It took her a long time to fall asleep. But even in her dream, Jack and Scarlett were still there. The
two seemed to be so in love with each other. She was closely following them like a diehard fan,
specifically watching Jack''s every move and every word said to Scarlett. She wanted to separate
them, but when she tried to touch them, her hands could only pass through their bodies.
When she woke up, she discovered that her face was already full of tears. Wiping her face, she
recalled the scene in her dream, and it brought a pang in her heart again.
The next morning, she got up and prepared for work. Looking at herself in the mirror, she saw the
dark circles under her eyes. She picked up a concealer to cover them up when her phone suddenly
rang.
As soon as she answered, Gary''s voice came in excitedly. "Aunt Rachel, don''t forget to watch my
performance this afternoon."
"Of course, I won''t."
Smiling awkwardly, Rachel felt a little guilty. Actually, she had totally forgotten about Gary''s invitation
if he hadn''t called to remind her.
Gary asked, "Are you sure you have time toe here?"
"Yes," Rachel confirmed.
"I''ll wait for you at the school gate then."
After hanging up, she picked up her bag and went downstairs. The moment she opened the door, a
car stopped in front of her. Lea hurriedly got out of the car and asked, "Rachel, why didn''t you tell
me that such a big thing happened?"
Rachel didn''t want to answer Lea''s question, so with a slight smile, she asked, "Didn''t you go
abroad with Henry and Rita for a vacation?"
Henry had filed a vacation leave at work a few days ago and took Lea and Rita abroad for a
vacation. Rachel had somehow enjoyed a moment of peace during those times.
They were supposed toe back after half a month, so she didn''t expect that Lea would show up
in front of her this soon.
Lea noticed that Rachel was trying to avoid her question, so she got annoyed. "Rachel, don''t you
dare change the topic!"
Rachel curled her lip and said, "Nothing serious happened recently."
"Seriously?" Lea asked in disbelief. "Are you going to wait for Scarlett to get pregnant with Jack''s
baby and show it in front of you? What does Jack trying to do? Didn''t everything go well between
the two of you a few days ago? Why did Scarlett suddenly appear?"
Since Lea became a mother, she had be more and more eloquent. And now, she was filled
with righteous indignation against Jack and Scarlett''s affairs. It seemed that she would never stop
nagging. Knowing that Lea was upset because she only cared for her, Rachel didn''t interrupt.
Instead, she listened quietly with a smile.
When Lea finally stopped talking, Rachel said, "Are you thirsty? I''ll get you a ss of water."
"I''m not thirsty." Lea was still a little anxious. "Rachel, don''t tell me that you are not doing anything
about this matter. I don''t believe that you have already given up on Jackpletely."
Rachel sighed slightly and said, "Things have happened. What else can I do?"
"If you don''t want to let go of Jack, you should make it clear to him." Lea took out her phone. "Call
him and make everything clear."
"No, I won''t,"
Rachel said and held Lea''s hand. "Lea, you know me. I won''t humble myself just to keep Jack by
my side. I don''t want him toe back to me out of pity. I''d rather end our rtionshippletely
than do that."
Her voice was so calm and indifferent as if she didn''t feel anything about the situation.
But for Lea, Rachel''s every word was like a heavy stone that crushed her heart, making her difficult
to breathe.
She couldn''t hide the pity and sadness in her eyes. Being with Rachel for so many years, she
should have known what kind of person Rachel was. The more she thought about it, the more
distressed she felt.
Rachel looked at her and smiled. "Don''t look at me like that. You only make me feel pitiful."
