Stuck in you

Chapter 377 A Dinner Party

Celia looked around and felt horrible. All the shoes in the shoe rack had scattered on the floor, and all the drawers were opened. The whole living room was turned upside down.

'Were there thieves?' she thought to herself.

With eyes wide open, she ran to her bedroom to check. When she finished, her shoulders sagged as she cried, "Rachel, what should I do? These thieves are so heartless. Why do they come to my house at this time?"

Rachel frowned and replied, "They are not thieves."

"Then who could do this to me?"

Rachel raised a document in her hand and said awkwardly, "I think it's Bertha. I've found this divorce paper she left here."

When Celia went to check her bedroom, Rachel found the document under the coffee table in the living room. It was probably blown to the floor by the wind.

Celia glanced at her and sneered, "My father surely made the biggest mistake when he married her. Back then, he even beat me because of her. Now that he is dying and needs money for his hospital bills, she immediately left a divorce paper and ran away. What a good wife!"

Rachel sighed. She knew that no one would want this kind of situation. But for her, it wasn't really a bad thing that Bertha left.

However, she was only an outsider to this family. It was not easy for her to say these words in front of Celia.

A few moments later, Jack's car parked outside. As soon as he came in, he frowned and said slowly, "I asked someone to bring something to eat here. You need to have some food in your stomach first before you have a good rest."

When she heard what Jack said, Rachel turned to Celia and said, "While we are waiting for the food, go and clean your room first."

Jack could see that Celia was absent-minded, so he was sure that something unpleasant happened while he wasn't here yet. So when she went to her room, he asked Rachel in a low voice, "Where is Bertha?"

Rachel shrugged her shoulders and showed him the document. "She left this divorce paper and ran away." She then looked around the messy living room and started to clean it up.

He held her hand to stop her and said, "You don't need to do that. I'll hire two cleaners from the agency to clean up this mess."

Without saying anything, she gently removed Jack's hand from her arm and continued putting the shoes back to the shoe rack. After fixing all the shoes, she looked at the direction of the bedroom and walked to the kitchen. That was the only time she asked him, "What happened to Marcus? Where is he now?"

"He's okay." Jack, who followed her to the kitchen, smiled and stroked her soft hair. "I heard Celia calling you just now. Go and check on her in the bedroom first."

She nodded and walked to the bedroom quietly.

Looking at her back, Jack silently took out a cigarette and lit it. His deep-set eyes showed an indescribable sense of fret.

Before he came here, he received a call from Marcus, who only said, "Please take good care of Celia for me."
