My Darling, My Dearest

Chapter 448 Please Give Jack Back To Me

Rachel was surprised to hear that Jared had agreed to sign the contract with Jimmy again. Did Jack change his mind?

She turned her head subconsciously and looked at the next room.

Jimmy waited for a long time, but Rachel didn't say anything, so he said, "Do you have something else to do? If you are busy now, I won't disturb you. I will just come to visit you next time to thank you in person." This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

"Okay." Rachel hung up in a hurry. She had to ask Jack to confirm her hunch.

Jack put the hammer down on the floor and rubbed his finger. He lowered his head to check on it, and he saw that it got blackened after being hit by the hammer just now. But when he heard some footsteps approaching, he hid his hand as if nothing had happened. Seeing Rachel at the door, he asked, "What's up?"

"Did you ask Jared to collaborate with Jimmy again?"

He was a little stunned. "You already know?" "Yes. Jimmy called and told me just now." "I got too impulsive before, and I know I was wrong. I just hope it didn't cause too much trouble for Jimmy. If you have some free time, please help me apologize to him."

His words made her feel a little confused. There was a surprised look on her face. After hesitating for a moment, she asked, "But why did you suddenly ask Jared to collaborate with Jimmy again?"

Although she asked, Rachel could already guess roughly the reason.

"Do you really want to know?" The expression on his face slightly changed. He pursed his lips and said, "I misunderstood your relationship with Jimmy before, so I made that impulse decision."

Her presumptions were correct, so Rachel didn't look surprised anymore. She was silent for a while before she spoke again. "So, do you understand me now?"

Jack was stunned for a moment. He then smiled and walked a few steps forward. Standing in front of her, he asked in a low voice, "Didn't you say before that we should trust each other?"

These few words from him were like an alarm that rang in her heart. She didn't expect that he would still remember what she had said before after all this time.

However, many things had already changed between them. To hide the emotions that welled up in her eyes, she lowered her eyes and said in a hurry, "I suddenly remember that I have something to do. I'll go back to my room now."

After so many sunny days, the rainy season had finally come. Rachel was in a taxi, looking out of the window and watching the rain. She checked the weather forecast on her phone, and it said that the rain would last for a week.

She didn't like rainy days because she always felt gloomy and uncomfortable. Moreover, her right eyelid kept on twitching when she woke up this morning. She got flustered, thinking that something was going to happen.

The driver pulled over at the gate of the hospital. It had been a long time since they stopped, but Rachel didn't move yet, so he called her attention. "Miss, we are already here."

It was only then that Rachel came back to her senses. She asked for the fare and took out some cash from her wallet. After handing it to the driver, she opened the door and held up her umbrella. Before she could close the door again, the driver looked back and said, "Miss, you are pregnant. Please be careful."

"Thank you."

With a smile at the corners of her mouth, Rachel slowly walked towards the hospital. She was about to step into her office when a sharp voice suddenly resounded behind her. She looked back and saw a woman trotting towards her. With a frown, she asked, "Why are you here?"

"I need to talk to you." Scarlett walked past her and entered her office ahead.

Rachel didn't stop her, as she also wanted to know what Scarlett had to say. As soon as she entered the office, Scarlett closed the door and said, "Rachel, I want you to stop bothering Jack. Just let him go and give him back to me."

Rachel frowned after hearing what she said. "I'm not bothering him. And I don't care whoever he wants to be with."

Obviously, Scarlett came all the way here just to talk about Jack. Unfortunately, this was the topic that Rachel didn't want to discuss.

So with an expressionless face, she went straight to her desk, sat on her chair, and said coldly, "Sorry, I have to work now. If you have nothing else to say, please leave."

But Scarlett didn't show any intention of leaving. Instead, she came to Rachel's desk and poured all the things in her bag. There were all kinds of jewelry and cosmetics. Everything was in a mess. Looking at her stuff, Rachel frowned and asked, "What are those for?"

Scarlett suddenly grabbed her hand and begged, "Rachel, please, give Jack back to me. I will give you all these things. I will give you whatever you want. Just give him back to me." Scarlett was slightly trembling, and her voice was unusually shrill. Rachel tried to pull her hand away, but Scarlett was holding it tightly. She continued, "Jack loves me, and he wants to be with me. What's the use of keeping him with you if he doesn't love you at all? You'd better give him back to me. I promise I'll give you all these things."

"I don't need any of your things." Rachel now felt annoyed. She didn't expect that Scarlett would be so stubborn.

"If you want Jack back, go and talk to him. You're only wasting your time on me."

Scarlett looked down and stared at Rachel's bulging belly. With a trace of madness in her eyes, she said, "This is all because of your baby. If you were not pregnant, Jack wouldn't have come back to you."

Last night, Scarlett hadn't slept well because she kept on tossing and turning in bed for a long time. She couldn't help comparing herself to Rachel. When it came to personality and appearance, she was not inferior to Rachel at all.

And obviously, she was more submissive than Rachel. Whatever Jack had asked her to do, she never refuted.

Thus, she believed that she was not at a disadvantage when compared to Rachel. So the only reason she could think of why Jack abandoned her for Rachel was because of the baby. Affluent families like the Fu family valued their descendants very much. Jack couldn't desert his child, so he decided to go back to Rachel.

Scarlett laughed madly and continued, "Jack is a man who values friendship and love. He must have pitied you, and that's why he came back to you. The truth is, he doesn't love you anymore. All he cares about is his child."

She kept on blabbering for a long time. Rachel frowned as she started to feel a dull pain in her head already. When she looked at Scarlett's eyes, she saw the sadness in there. But she didn't care about it anymore.

All she wanted right now was to get rid of Scarlett as soon as possible, so she said perfunctorily, "Yes, he sympathizes with me. The best thing you can do is go to him and tell him to stop doing it."

"No, it's not like that." Scarlett shook her head. "I know that Jack won't listen to me even if I talk to him. But if you lose the baby in your belly, I'm sure that he won't care about you anymore, and he will come back to me peacefully."

Her expression became a little fierce all of a sudden. It made Rachel's heart skip a beat.

She had thought that Scarlett's only purpose of coming over was to talk to her about Jack. She didn't expect that Scarlett had other vicious plans.

When Scarlett was not looking, Rachel secretly took her phone out and held it tightly. She then snapped, "The baby in my belly is mine. It has nothing to do with Jack."

"No, you're wrong!" Scarlett was now going crazy. "Jack and I will get married in the future. It means that your child will be mine sooner or later. But for now, I don't want to welcome your baby yet. It must not be born into this world."

As she spoke, Scarlett suddenly rushed over and pulled Rachel out of her desk. She was surprisingly strong. She then said madly, "I've already registered your name downstairs for an abortion. It's time now, so you must come with me. I've heard that you are six months pregnant now. Don't worry. It won't hurt. After they injected you with anesthesia, you won't feel anything. You will recover very soon."

She then laughed like crazy. Looking at her expression, Rachel couldn't help trembling. She started to feel scared.

Out of nervousness, Rachel dialed Jack's number in secret. But since she couldn't look down on her phone to check, she wasn't sure if the call got connected or not. She pretended to look brave as she

roared, "Scarlett, this baby is mine. You have no right to force me to have an abortion."

Jack answered his phone as soon as he heard it ring and saw Rachel's name on the screen. And he was startled by what he heard.

Scarlett? Abortion? If Scarlett came to see Rachel, the latter must be in danger.

He hurriedly turned the steering wheel and drove to the hospital. His heart was beating abnormally fast as he kept on muttering, "Rachel, just hang on there. I'm coming."

Rachel clenched the phone in her hand tightly. Although she wasn't sure if her call got connected, she somehow felt relieved. While waiting for someone to rescue her, she tried to divert Scarlett's attention. "Scarlett, the baby is innocent. Let's talk things over. Calm down first, okay?"
