Stuck in you

Celine was pleased, but she didn't step forward. She shouldn't show her arrogance in front of Jack. It might send out the wrong message.

She had already overheard what Rachel said. She was right to say that Jack still cared for Celine.

Although it was hard to get Jack back now, she knew him very well.

She knew if she continued to push herself towards him, he would continue pushing her away.

As long as the man continued to care for her, she would do everything to disturb their marriage.

The angrier Rachel was, the more distant they would be from each other.

Celine would do everything to cause trouble in their marriage.

She wanted to let everyone see how much of a hypocrite Rachel was. She wanted everyone to see her take off her mask. Celine wanted to expose her for who she was.

Apart from her family background, how could Rachel even compare to her?

Celine stood still, and her eyes flashed.

In the next three days, Rachel's life suddenly morphed back to what it had been like before.

Jack and Celine didn't show up on her doorstep.

She would go to work and return home once she was off work.

Although everything seemed to have gone back to the way it was, Rachel knew that the events that had transpired before this were not part of her dreams. However, she wished they were.

Honestly, she was simply surprised that Jack didn't follow her out that night.

In fact, when she returned to her house, he didn't even bother to call her.

It was as if both her appearance and disappearance didn't affect him at all.

Rachel had told him that he shouldn't find her until he made his decision, but she didn't expect that he would follow through with her words.

He really didn't show up.

Did that mean something?

Ever since she left Jack and Celine behind that day, Rachel had been drowning in her thoughts.

Unable to calm herself down, she decided to mock herself even more.

'Look at you, an unloved housewife,' she mocked.

On the third day, Rachel tossed and turned in bed for a long time. However, she still couldn't fall asleep.

She couldn't help but reminisce all the times she had been with Jack. Her heart ached at the thought.

She got so used to having someone by her side. Every morning when she woke up, she would be met with cold sheets. It would take her seconds to realize what had happened, and when she did, she could feel wetness on her cheeks.

Rachel gritted her teeth.
