Stuck in you

Chapter 15 The Fourth Time

Jack hadn't expected that he and Rachel could get along so peacefully.

He had assumed that Rachel would at least get mad after he had treated her younger brother the way that he had, but she didn't!

This woman didn't take him seriously at all!

Jack didn't think it was a big deal. He was somehow grateful for her attitude. In fact, he now felt that he had been right to have married her.

As long as Rachel did not deliberately stir up trouble, he would definitely make it up to her after their divorce was finalized.

At nine o'clock, the doorbell rang, its sound filling the apartment. Right on time. Jack stood up from the sofa and went to open the door.

Stuart Liu, the Fu family's driver, stood at the door. He respectfully greeted Jack, "Good morning, Mr. Fu."

Stuart Liu was a loyal servant under the employ of the Fu family. He had been driving for them for the longest time and had an excellent relationship with Jonathan. For this reason, Jack regarded him with great respect.

Stuart Liu didn't come in. He looked at his watch and said, "Your father awaits you at home. There is some traffic on the way today, and so the drive home will take more than an hour."

There was one characteristic that all members of the Fu family shared: punctuality.

After a pause, Jack said, "Wait a moment. I'll go get her."

Jack returned to the second floor. Rachel had changed into her own clothes and was about to go downstairs with her bag.

Her dress caught Jack's attention. She straightened her collar, stopped mid-walk, and looked him up and down. "What excuse do you have?"

"Don't worry about it. Just come with me downstairs."

They went downstairs, one after the other. Jack crossed the living room and stopped a few feet away from the door. Rachel followed close behind him. He then walked closer to the door with her right by his side.

Stuart Liu was waiting patiently at the door. Jack and Rachel got closer and closer. Suddenly, he grabbed her hand.

Reflexively, she tried to pull away from him, but she failed. Jack was holding her hand securely in his.

A trace of surprise flashed across Stuart's face when he saw the two come out of the house hand-in-hand. Then, the corners of his mouth curled up into a satisfied smile.

What had been an expressionless face quickly softened. Stuart Liu said, "Let's go. Let's not keep your father waiting."

Realizing what was happening, Rachel stopped struggling. Finally, she let Jack hold her hand. At first, she had no interest in pretending. Everyone knew how cold and strange their relationship was.
