Stuck in you

Chapter 170 A Drastic Turn

Jack didn't know whether to cry or to laugh. "Rachel...." He was speechless with fury and amusement.

He had changed so much and let his guard down. He had let her peak into his heart.

She should have known that he was in love with her.

Hearing what she had said, annoyed and amused Jack at the same time. He had never felt so helpless before.

After all this time, she still hadn't realized how differently he treated her.

Confused, Rachel asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Placing one hand at the back of her head, Jack pulled her close and pressed his lips against her forehead.

He did not attempt to conceal his feelings for her. "You stupid girl," he said, affection evident in his voice.

Rachel was trying to make sense of what was happening. She did not understand what his answer meant.

'Why did he call me stupid?

Ugh! What exactly did he mean?'

Rachel's mood was quickly deteriorating.

Jack was still evading giving her a proper response. "You can feel my heart beating against yours. Can you not tell whether I have a crush on you or not?"

Rachel could feel her emotions swim to the surface. She realized what a coward she was being.

She was in a daze, unable to figure out what he meant. Jack could also sense her confusion.

But, he was enjoying watching her struggle. So, he kept his mouth shut.

Rachel didn't dare to ask him to give her an exact answer.

On their way home that night, Rachel watched the night sky from the car's window. "Do you remember when we first met?" she asked, after a while.

Jack was stunned by her question. He thought back to when he was a teenager. Maybe that was when they met.

He had little to no recollection of the past. But, he recalled laying eyes on her when she was with the Fu family.

Still, he wasn't sure when they had first met.

He gripped the steering wheel tight, staring straight ahead. With a faint smile on his lips, he questioned, "Why do you ask?"

"Wanted to see if you still remembered," Rachel replied.
