Chapter 70 Plotting Something

Rachel was easily persuaded by Jonathan because she never imagined that even Jack agreed to the proposal, he wouldn't be so obedient as to stay at her place.

However, it was not until she gave her promise that everything turned a little different from her expectations.

Jack showed no intention of agreeing to his father’s request at all.

Rachel found that she fell into Jonathan’s meticulously woven plot.

She could not renege on her word, so to keep her promise, she tried convincing Jack into the agreement.

Not that she didn’t mind living with Jack, but Rachel also had her reasons.

She never proposed divorce before simply because Jonathan didn’t want them to. From when she was eight until she turned eighteen, the Fu family raised her like their daughter. When she was orphaned, her relatives from her mother’s side refused to take care of her while they failed to contact her father’s only sister, who was living out of the country.

She remembered how helpless she had been. When no one was willing to accept her, the Fu family embraced her.

Rachel was grateful for the generosity of the Fu family during those ten years. More so, Jack's grandfather had worried about her future and arranged the marriage before he died.

He asked Jack to marry her to ensure that she would always be taken care of. She knew that Jack only agreed to please his grandfather.

She did not know why the elderly worried so much, but she felt his genuine care for her.

Since then, she had always kept in her heart their kindness towards her and wished to repay them one day. Then again, the Fu family was extremely wealthy.

She had no means of repaying them apart from saying yes to the wedding.

Unfortunately, the marriage failed.

She did not understand why Jonathan insisted on them continuing the arrangement even if it gained no fruition. It seemed he still believed that she and Jack might have a chance of becoming a real couple.

She dared not say that the idea was unreliable, but if Jonathan did not agree with the divorce, she would not even think about it.

Firstly, she was still young and not in a hurry. Secondly, she had no real relationship with Jack. They only saw each other on a few occasions and pretended for appearance. It was only a paper marriage.

Thirdly, she had not met someone she loved who would make her decide to take the initiative and settle this fake marriage.

Even before she could wait for it to happen, Jonathan had unexpectedly allowed their divorce.

The fact that it had strings attached wasn’t even surprising for Rachel.

He wouldn’t just permit them and surely had something in his mind. She did not object at all.

He laid out his plan but didn’t force them to do so.
