Stuck in you

Chapter 227 Listening To His Explanation

Successive shrieks reverberated through the police station.

Rachel didn't meddle. Her cold eyes watched as Jack hit Baron's face with his fist.

The two policemen were stunned for a moment. When they came back to their senses, they hastily walked forward and pulled the two men apart.

"Stop! Stop it!" someone shouted.

Rachel didn't give a damn about what was happening. Her eyes were fixed on Jack.

While the policemen pulled Jack and Baron away from each other,

Rachel turned her gaze to Celine who had been standing on one side.

Celine raised her chin and smiled complacently.

It seemed that she had been waiting for Rachel to look at her, so she could show her victory. But to her dismay, Rachel didn't show any interest at all. She just turned her eyes away indifferently.

Apparently, no matter what she did, she was always nothing to Rachel.

Rachel had never given Celine importance in her life, not even as an opponent. In her heart, Celine didn't deserve any of her attention.

But for Celine, it was the opposite. Every time she had a face to face encounter with Rachel, she felt like facing a bright mirror.

No matter how well she disguised herself, she was always exposed in front of Rachel.

This reality made her feel embarrassed.

After a while, Jack and Baron were finally pulled away from each other by the policemen.

Rachel stood still and stared at Jack.

She had never seen him this so impetuous and angry before.

Wait! Maybe she had.

That was when she broke into the bar to save Eric from Jack.

Jack had also acted the same at that time.

At this moment, Rachel came to understand what she was missing.

When Jack and she were together, they were just like an ordinary couple.

They were sweet and warm, but most of the time, they got along with each other like flat water.

Rachel had witnessed all the changes in Jack since they had been together.

Now, he wasn't as wild and active as he used to be, which made them more suitable for each other.

Rachel had thought about it many times. She wasn't sure if he had changed for himself or he did it to please and suit her.

Either way, she was happy to see the changes in him.

But what she saw right now seemed to be different.

Rachel's brain seemed to be working at full speed.

After sorting everything out, she found herself pitiful.

She recalled every word that Jack had said to her.

She was trying to find something that would confirm why he had to do this now.

She tried to make excuses for him, but she couldn't even trust her own words.

Jack told her that he broke up with Celine because there was really no love between them.

Rachel believed in him, and she thought that he would never look back to Celine. However, facing this situation right now, she felt really aggrieved.

If he didn't love Celine, why did he care so much about her?

At this moment, Rachel felt a sense of envy towards Celine.

Perhaps Jack and Celine had really loved each other so much before. It was a kind of love that she and Jack could never have. Maybe he would also help her in times of trouble, but he would never love her like the way he did to Celine.

A few moments later, Jack's lawyer arrived.

Celine had to stay because she needed to give some statements to the lawyer.

Rachel wondered if Jack also wanted to stay, but she didn't care anymore. She had better leave. She shouldn't have come here in the first place. What she had witnessed only made her sad.

But when she was about to leave, Jack came to her and whispered, "The car is outside."

He averted his gaze because he couldn't look into Rachel's eyes.

His lips moved as if he wanted to say something more, but eventually, he kept quiet. Rachel just nodded lightly and said, "I'll go now."

She then turned around and left. Jack wanted to stop her, but he couldn't.

He knew what he had just done. There was nothing he could say to justify his actions this time.

Left with no choice, all he could do was watch Rachel leave.

The driver saw Rachel coming, so he quickly got out and opened the door for her at the back.

Rachel was expressionless, but her aura sent chills to the driver's spine for no reason.

After making sure that Rachel had already seated suitably, the driver closed the door and went back to the driver's seat.

He looked at the rearview mirror to check on her. Rachel was sitting quietly with a gentle look on her face.

The driver couldn't take the quietness anymore, so he asked in a low voice, "Mrs. Fu, are we going to wait for Mr. Fu, or we will go ahead?"

"Wait for him."

"Okay."

Rachel seemed to be in a bad mood, so the driver didn't dare to say another word.

She leaned back and slightly raised her head. She looked exhausted.

Their car was parked on the road across the police station. The station seemed like a completely different world to Rachel.

They had waited for Jack for a long time.

Finally, he appeared at the gate of the police station and crossed the road towards them.

Rachel's phone suddenly rang. It was Andy. She had just met this old man for the first time, but he had been concern about her.

The driver got out of the car to give Rachel privacy. Andy asked how Jack was, but she didn't know how to answer him.

What should she say? Should she tell him that when she rushed to the police station, she saw her husband fighting for another woman?

Rachel raised her hand to rub her forehead. She felt like she walked into a vicious circle and couldn't get out.

Eventually, she decided to say, "Don't worry, he's fine. Thank you for your concern."

"I should be the one to thank you," Andy replied emotionally.

They expressed their gratitude to each other. Somehow, Rachel felt better to have someone to talk to. Then Andy added, "Bill is still in a coma. When he wakes up, I will let him personally express his gratitude to you."

Rachel felt a little embarrassed of his politeness. She said it wasn't necessary to thank her, but he insisted, "You don't have to feel embarrassed. Everyone should be grateful to the person who saves his life."

She felt a little strange. She didn't know anything about Andy and Bill, but she could feel that the former treated the latter as his son.

Rachel was silent for a while, then she said, "Andy, is it okay if I return your phone tomorrow?"

The old man didn't refuse. Instead, he said, "Sure. Will it be okay for you to bring it here? I can send someone to pick it up from you."

After exchanging a few more words, Rachel thanked him again and then hung up.

Right after she put down the phone, the driver came and whispered to her, "Mr. Fu is coming."

Rachel turned her head and looked at the man who was walking across the street slowly.

Jack walked with ease. His shirt was a little messy, and there were several eye-catching red marks on his handsome face.

The driver didn't dare to look at him. He was about to go around and open the door for him, but Jack waved his hand to stop him.

Getting Jack's message, the driver swiftly went back to the driver's seat.

When Jack quietly opened the door, he heaved a sigh of relief.

He relaxed upon seeing that Rachel was still there.

After sitting beside her, he was about to say something. But when his eyes met hers, his words were stuck in his throat.

For the first time in his life, he was at a loss for words.

Since he was in a daze, she spoke first. "Is everything okay now?"

Embarrassment flashed across Jack's face when he answered, "Not yet. We have to wait until the man wakes up. Hopefully, tomorrow."

"Hmm..." Rachel commented. Then she asked calmly, "What happened?"

Although she didn't sound angry, Jack felt uncomfortable.

He wanted to say something, but every time he looked at Rachel's eyes, he was rendered speechless.

But still, he explained powerlessly, "She... accidentally hurt someone. This matter is being investigated by the policemen thoroughly. Sooner or later, it will be solved."

"Hmm." Rachel turned her eyes away. She looked uninterested.

Jack studied her face carefully. His heart was beating irregularly fast because of guilt.

He noticed that she didn't want to talk to him. She turned her head to look out of the window and said nothing.

'Is she angry?' he thought.

After looking at her for a while, Jack confirmed that she was indeed angry. Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

He raised his hand to touch her and asked, "Are you angry?"

Rachel turned her head and looked at Jack with her clear and penetrating eyes as if waiting for his explanation.

Jack quietly reached for her, took her hand, and said, "Everything happened so suddenly. I was there, so I had to do something."

He wanted to explain why he had come to the police station with Celine.

Rachel listened to him quietly without making any comment.

After explaining everything briefly, Jack looked at Rachel, hoping that she would forgive him this time.

He made it clear that he didn't mean to be with Celine. She was just an ex-girlfriend to him, nothing else.

Although they had a past, Celine didn't have any place in his heart anymore.

Jack's explanation should have cleared up everything.

But Rachel's mind was still in a mess. She thought that she wouldn't mind, but now she realized that she was really affected.
