Chapter 168
Jack had shown his intentions bluntly.
He pressed on Rachel again, with one hand slowly creeping towards her back. She grasped the sheet tightly.
Although his action was overbearing, she still had enough space to turn away. And she also knew that he wouldn't insist if she wasn't willing to do it.
However, she didn't have the strength to stop him. The next moment, his kiss deepened as he pulled her into his arms.
A part of her mind was reminding her to get away and not surrender to him so soon.
A little voice at the back of her mind said, "It's dangerous!" A "DANGER!" sign flashed through her mind.
Was she now ready to have sex with him?
However, her heart said that she was willing to be with him.
She was ready to be captured by the love net that he weaved.
Actually, Jack also gave her the opportunity to dodge and escape. But when his hand gradually fondled some delicate area and his lips started to taste the different parts of her body, she stayed in his arms without any resistance.
Her obedience and acquiescence ignited the fire in Jack and encouraged him to continue.
He had been waiting for this for a long time. The willingness that Rachel showed made him the happiest man tonight. Finally, he didn't need to rely on his schemes and tricks to pursue her.
All his efforts had paid off. Those little things and changes he did to show her the real him made Rachel come out of her thick shell and eventually opened her heart to him.
As a matter of fact, he had given Rachel a chance to get rid of him. But her actions proved that she was now willing to be with him.
A few moments later, they both fell into the bed, with bodies still entangled.
As the night grew deeper, the rain started to fall again outside.
The temperature felt like it was already spring.
All of a sudden, the surroundings changed.
Rachel's dream brought her back to her childhood, during the time when she was brought to the Fu family.
It was dark outside. Little raindrops started to fall on the surface of the sea. The tiny sailboats were swaying slightly to the cold night breeze.
Jonathan liked Rachel so much. He always held her in his arms, taught her how to play Chinese chess, and read her bedtime stories before going to sleep.
On that night, they were on her bed. With a book in his hand, he started to read her a story. "The general pulled out a broadsword and hacked down..."
"Ha-ha!" A sudden burst of laughter was heard from the door. Rachel turned her gaze from the old man to the door. There, she saw a strange boy who was looking at her with a wicked smile.
Upon seeing him, Jonathan asked, "Michael, when did you arrive? Come here."
At this time, another boy showed up behind Michael. He was holding a basketball in his hands.
At her very young age, Rachel thought that he was handsome. But she also felt that he was not easy to get along with.
Michael and the boy went inside the room together. It was her first time to meet them.
"This is Rachel," Jonathan introduced.
Michael stared at her for a while. He then raised his hand to touch his head, with a puzzled look on his face. "Where did she come from? Uncle Jonathan, you have another child?" he asked.
The girl was about seven or eight years old. But he never heard that Jonathan had another child after Jack was born.
While Michael was lost in thought, Jonathan suddenly struck him on the head and said, "You brat! Don't think too much."
Michael scratched his head and smiled embarrassingly. On the other hand, Jack just stood there quietly while staring at Rachel indifferently.
When Rachel felt his gaze, she became nervous. She couldn't help grasping the book in her hand tightly.
Jonathan then turned to her and coaxed her, "Rachel, this is Michael and this is Jack. Introduce yourself to them."
Rachel was too nervous to speak up, so after coaxing her for a while, Jonathan put a candy in her hand as an advance reward. She held the candy and started stammering, "I... I am Rachel Shen. Nice to meet you."
"Ha-ha!" Michael burst out laughing again.
Feeling embarrassed, Rachel's cheeks flushed. Michael was struck on the head again.
This time, it wasn't Jonathan who hit him, but Jack.
Rubbing his head, he turned to look at Jack confusedly. He murmured some incomprehensible words. Rachel found his expression amusing but she tried her best not to laugh.
Jack raised his hand again and it moved towards Rachel. She felt nervous in an instant so she slightly shrank away from him.
But to her surprise, Jack put his hand on her head and rubbed her hair gently.
Rachel was slightly stunned but she still looked up at him. Jack was still wearing the same cold expression on his face. This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Her heart skipped a beat as she whispered, "Jack."
"Hi," he responded with a faint smile.
It was Rachel's first time to see Jack. She had long forgotten about it.
The next morning, Rachel woke up late.
The moment she opened her eyes, she stared blankly at the ceiling.
The dream she had last night lingered in her mind.
She began to wonder if this really happened or it was just a dream.
She suddenly felt a soft breathing in her ear. When she turned to her side, she saw Jack still sleeping soundly. It was only then that she realized, his arm was tightly wrapped in her waist.
She rested her head on his well-defined chest for a moment. Then she slightly pushed his arm away so she could get up. However, her movements caused Jack to wake up.
Jack opened his eyes and immediately planted a kiss on her cheek. "Good morning," he greeted in a hoarse voice.
Rachel blushed. All of a sudden, she realized that her body was so sore and she had no strength to get up.
As a result, Jack had already readied himself but she was still buried in the quilt.
Jack couldn't contain his happiness. He hadn't had sex for years, so had had sex with Rachel again and again the previous night.
He knew that it was Rachel's first time so he tried to be as gentle as he could.
When he went back to the bedroom, he felt refreshed seeing her curling up in bed.
He came to her and kissed her gently on the lips. Rachel reflexively shrank back a little and
looked at him pitifully.
He caressed her soft cheek and said sweetly, "I'm giving you a day off today, so you don't need to go to work."
Rachel couldn't help kicking her lightly with her foot under the quilt. Jack laughed and stood straight. He looked at his watch, it was already past ten in the morning. As much as he wanted to stay with her today, he had no choice but go to the company now.
Rachel turned around and covered herself with the quilt.
Jack was quite verbose today so he added, "If you feel pain, I'll ask someone to send you medicine later. Stay at home and rest."
Rachel's face was already burning in embarrassment. Upon hearing what he said, she flared up in an instant. "If you do that, I will kill you!"
She seldom said such harsh words. Although she was really angry, she didn't sound threatening at all.
Jack was stunned for a moment. He hadn't thought that if he asked someone to send her some medicine, it might reveal something.
Seeing that Rachel was now anxious and angry, he raised his hands in surrender. "I'm sorry. I said something wrong." His voice sounded serious but his eyes held a glint of humor.
He looked at Rachel's red face and his eyes unconsciously moved down to her breast which was partly covered by the quilt.
The beautiful scene last night came back to his mind. Until now, he still couldn't believe that Rachel made love to him last night.
Thinking about it, his throat began to dry and his eyes turned dark.
As she saw the sudden change in his expression, Rachel got nervous. She immediately covered herself with the quilt. "Aren't you going to work? It's already late," she said nervously.
Jack couldn't help laughing when he saw Rachel curling herself up in the quilt like an ostrich. He got down on one knee and pulled the quilt away. Then he pressed his body on hers and kissed her red face.
While Rachel was still in a trance, Jack opened the door and went out with a satisfied smile on his face.
Needless to say, that wonderful night set Jack's good mood. He was so delighted that even the passersby could feel it.
Austin was also surprised when Jack arrived at the office. He didn't know what happened but it was very obvious that his boss was in a good mood today.
He couldn't help wondering which big business deal had made his boss so happy.
Actually, he couldn't remember that they had a big business transaction recently.
Looking at Jack's bright face, he suddenly felt that his boss had returned to his teenage years.
Rachel crossed his mind. He couldn't help
thinking that she had something to do with it.
After thinking for a while, Austin said tentatively, "Mr. Fu, isn't Mrs. Fu coming with you to take care of you today? I haven't seen her these days."
Jack raised his head and looked at Austin's face. His gaze suddenly sent a chill down Austin's spine.
Austin forced an embarrassed smile and pretended he had never said those words. Fie tried to change the topic immediately.
'Is my guess wrong? Flas Rachel really nothing to do with his good mood?'
After Austin briefly explained his schedule for today, he turned around and was about to leave. But before he could open the door, Jack spoke up. "Watch your words when she is here. Don't ever
mention that she only comes here to take care of me. She is not my nanny."
