Stuck in you

Chapter 238 A Sleepless Night

Although Baron thought so too, he knew that he had to be polite to Howard.

"Thank you for your help, Mr. Wu."

"You're welcome."

Howard was about to say something else, but was interrupted before he could speak once more.

"Everything is fine here, now. You don't need to worry about it any further."

Howard's face froze, and he suddenly looked awkward when he laughed.

But Baron simply could not conceal the mark of impatience on his face. He glanced at Jack who stood beside him. "I can handle my girlfriend's problem. No need for other people to get involved with it," he said with a smug expression.

Embarrassment was written all over Howard's face. Jack, however, remained unaffected and said something to Howard.

Howard then nodded. Jack didn't say another word, turned around and left them.

Baron never expected that Celine would be so bold to do what she did while he was in the ward.

She dragged Jack to the balcony where they were alone and had a good chat with him. She went there with him on purpose to make herself look pitiful in front of him.

She was not doing anything sneaky or tricky when Rachel saw them together.

She told Jack the story of her experiences after she left Ninwell City.

She intentionally left out the details of everything that happened to her during those days. Instead, she focused on the parts where she suffered while living in another city.

She admitted to feeling embarrassed that she had no choice but to date Baron so that she could have protection, support and safety.

But she understood that if she only told Jack how much she regretted to leave him,

all she'd get from Jack after her story would be disdain and a cold look.

Thus, Celine's approach was to imply that the reason why she experienced so much difficulty in her life in another city was because she was separated from Jack and the Fu family had something to do with it.

She even went so far as to set aside her attitude and begged for Jack's mercy. She acted like she hoped that Jack would be affected by her pleas so that he'd let her go and call off the people who were making her life miserable.

When Jack heard her story, he thought that she implied that the people who came and made trouble for her and made her life difficult were sent to her by the Fu family.

Celine knew that Jack was a gentleman, even though their relationship ended up that way.

Jack was not the kind of man who would deliberately make things difficult for a woman just to vent out his anger or frustration.

Thus, Celine was looking forward to Jack's favorable response.

Jack lowered his head and spoke to her in a low, deep and beguiling voice.

Celine took this chance and leaned against him. This was the situation that they were in when Rachel arrived.

From the corner of the corridor, Celine watched as his tall imposing figure walking away. Her face suddenly sank in frustration along with her heart.
