Stuck in you

Rachel took a rubber band from the dresser and tied her hair. When she went to the bathroom to wash her face, someone knocked on the door.

She knew it was Jack.

Standing still, she didn't say anything. She wouldn't open the door anyway.

Jack, who was standing outside the door, waited for a while.

But there was no answer inside the room. The door didn't open either. He took a deep breath and asked, "Rachel, have you eaten yet? I cooked some Western food. Would you like to have some?"

"No, thanks," she replied.

But she also couldn't help wondering, 'Western food?

He cooked it himself?'

For some reason, Celine crossed her mind. Perhaps he learned how to cook Western food when they were still together.

This thought irritated her in an instant.

She heard his voice again, asking, "Did you work overtime at the hospital?"

Taking a few steps forward, she got closer to the door and answered, "No, I didn't. I went out this evening."

"Where did you go?" Jack wanted to know, but he waited in vain. Unfortunately, Rachel didn't answer his question.

The air around him seemed to have solidified.

Thinking that Rachel had no plans answering his question, he plucked up his courage to ask, "Rachel, how can you forgive me?" Still, there was no answer from the inside.

Rachel leaned against the wall, contemplating his question. If only he knew that she had also asked herself of it many times.

In the past, she didn't have feelings for Jack yet, so she could endure all kinds of gossips about him and Celine.

But now it was different. She couldn't do it anymore.

Knowing that Celine was still important to him was too painful for her. Now, all she wanted to do was escape.

She wanted to stay away from him before it was too late for her to suppress her feelings.

Jack continued, "Rachel, I have already left everything in my past behind. As a matter of fact, I have set the appointment for the vasectomy reversal a month ago. Please, trust me this time."

Although he felt like he was only talking to the air, he still tried to explain.

"Whether I trust you or not doesn't matter anymore. It's late now. I have to go to bed." Rachel calmed herself down, then walked into the bathroom. She locked the door and turned on the shower, so she couldn't hear Jack's voice outside.

She was upset.
