Stuck in you

Rachel looked up at Eric and said, "You know the reason, right?"

"But Jack didn't care about Celine anymore. He has clearly chosen you. Why do you still have to leave? Moreover, Jack already has everything. What else can you ask for?"

Eric was now furious, but Rachel was just enjoying her food. Feeling annoyed, he pushed the bowl in front of her away and said, "Rachel, can you give me a good reason?"

"You have nothing to do with it."

Rachel called a waiter and requested for a new bowl. As soon as she had it, she started digging into the hotpot again.

Eric snorted, "I am your cousin. How can you say that it has nothing to do with me? Besides, I really don't like Bill. He's useless. I don't understand why you like him."

He kept on talking while Rachel just focused on her food.

When she was full, she put down her chopsticks and asked, "Did Jack pay you?"

"What... what are you talking about?" Eric stammered.

"You used to hate him so much in the past, but now you're always defending him. Don't you think it's strange?" She had a feeling that Eric was conniving with Jack.

Feeling guilty, he couldn't meet her eyes. But he still continued to side with Jack. "I just know that Jack is better than any other man."

"It's up for me to decide if you are right. Don't tell me what to do."

She took out her wallet, paid the bill, and stood up. Before she left, she said, "Don't call me if you are planning to talk about this again. I don't want to hear anything from you."

Eric felt so disheartened. He hadn't eaten anything yet, but he already lost his appetite. He decided to call Jack. "I just had dinner with Rachel. She is so hot-tempered now."

"Why? What happened?" Jack had just returned to his villa and hadn't even turned on the lights yet.

"Nothing. Forget what I said. What's your plan? Are you just going to let Rachel end up with that sickly man?"

"Do you really think I will let that happen?"

Jack retorted. "Have you noticed anything strange with Rachel tonight?"

"What do you mean?"

Eric was a bit confused. But after thinking carefully, he answered, "I didn't notice anything strange on her, except that she has a bigger appetite now than before."

Jack had nothing more to ask, so he ended their call. He then sat on the sofa and closed his eyes.

He didn't really expect Rachel to mind what had happened last night, but when he heard from others that she acted as if nothing had happened, he felt a little disappointed.

Now, all he could do was show up in front of her as frequently as possible to win her back. After all, he didn't take Bill as a serious threat.
