Stuck in you novel Chapter 89

His voice trailed off as he realized he hadn't told Michael and the others that he and Rachel had been living together.

Jack thought Rachel might feel embarrassed. He tried to change the subject and alleviate their suspicions. "We'll drop you off on the way home. Would that be fine with you?" he asked.

"You don't have to. I came with Lucas, and he'll drive me back," Rachel politely refused.

Jack had heard from Rick that she did come here with Lucas.

In truth, he was trying to tell Rachel that they could go back home together later.

But to his dismay, she refused without a hint of hesitation.

His face twitched, but he tried to hide his disappointment from Rachel. "So where is he right now?" he asked.

Rachel didn't know how to answer that because she herself didn't know where Lucas was right now.

"If you can't find him, I can drive you home," Jack offered again.

Marcus noticed that some people were approaching them. He tapped Jack's shoulder to catch his attention. "We should find somewhere more private. There are a lot of prying eyes and ears here," he whispered to Jack.

More and more people would come and mingle.

Soon they would be surrounded by people that would flock around them like flies. Marcus didn't want to endure that kind of trouble.

Rachel didn't exactly say yes or no to Jack's offer.

Now she had no choice but to leave this place with them first.

Celine was only here because of Rona. If not for Rona, she would not be able to come here as she was not invited.

Claris and her brother had different friends. She had just come back from abroad, so she was eager to invite her new friends over for a night of fun.

Thankfully, Claris was a welcoming and gracious host. She even allowed her invitees to bring their own friends along if they wanted to. Rona didn't even know Claris, at least not personally. She had the chance to be here because her father was invited by Rick. She brought Celine along to at least have one friendly face along with her.

Rona knew that Celine was not having the best of times. She thought that Celine needed to unwind and just let loose. A party would help Celine relieve some of her stress.

Most of Claris' guests were girls, and many of them came from overseas. Celine hardly knew these girls and she felt quite relieved.

She didn't want other people to know what had happened between her and Jack.

Jack had proposed that they stayed far away from each other and calm down for a while.

Celine found this plan ridiculous. She was angry and aggrieved. She was scared that they wouldn't get back together again. She felt so many emotions all at once that it drove her to tears.

However, her tears could no longer arouse a trace of pity in Jack's eyes. She had a premonition once that he would no longer return her calls and that he had suddenly disappeared.

'Why would he tell me that we should separate for the time being? It's clearly just an excuse!' she thought to herself. 'He only wants to break with me once and for all!'

Celine thought that Jack might have gotten bored of her. It was a sad thought but it was a reality she had to accept. His marriage played a huge part in their separation.

'There's no love between Rachel and Jack, but they can go to various occasions together without being criticized by people behind their backs.

Even though he doesn't love Rachel, he still won't divorce her!

Am I just another one of Jack's whores? A typical home wrecker? And when he gets tired of me, he's going to discard me like some used up napkin.'

Celine had been most afraid that this day would come. She knew that this day would come sooner or later, given that Jack was a married man. However, she had wished that it could have been later rather than sooner.

When Jack decided to break up with her, she begged him to stay. She even broke down in tears, but he didn't give a damn about her anymore. Instead, he left her with a message. He told her that she should figure out a way to deal with their relationship.

Celine would not have begged him to stay, if she knew what to do with their relationship.

After she had stopped crying, he left her on her own. She cried and cried until she felt less burdened by her emotions. She must have cried a river of tears for the whole day.

The first time Jack treated her so coldly, she already knew that their relationship was doomed.

Now that she was looking back on it, she was not so heartbroken when Jack decided to break up as she thought she would be.

But she was still too sad to cheer herself up. Her heart was filled with all kinds of complex emotions. Jack had promised to spoil her and give her everything that she needed or wanted.

On the bright side, Celine thought that she was smart to not have fully trusted Jack. She felt lucky to have been given so much, but at the same time, everything that she owned right now was given by Jack.

Now that they have broken up, what would people think of her? What would those people do to her? All those people that she looked down on, and all the people she had belittled. All of them would try to take revenge on her now that Jack had left her.
