My Darling, My Dearest
Chapter 239 A Furious Jonathan

Given the current situation, Jack was afraid that the relationship between him and Rachel would be destroyed for good.

In fact, the person who tried to drive Celine away from the city wasn't sent by Jonathan, but by one of Baron's ex-girlfriends.

After Jack found out about this, he decided to let it go, as it had nothing to do with his family.

The next day, Jonathan found that Celine came back to the city and was in contact with Jack again.

This was why Jonathan wasted no time in calling Jack over.

What pissed him off was the fact that he didn't hear it from his son but from a passerby.

Given that Jack and Jack emerging in public as a couple wasn't a small matter, word got around pretty fast.

A friend of Jonathan's called him up to congratulate him.

"Where have you been hiding your daughter-in-law?" the man said jokingly. Jonathan laughed. "We didn't hide her." Tracy could hear her husband's laughter from the balcony. She smiled and shook her head.

After watering the flowers and plants on the balcony, she placed the watering can on the side and went ahead to wash her hands. The night wind brought a sense of heat from afar. The leaves of her plants swayed from the breeze as if waving at her.

She smiled, pleased to see the fruit of her harvest. Noticing the withering leaves on some of the pots, she squatted down and quickly clipped them off.

She placed them into a small garbage bag beside her. Seeing that it was such a good weather, she planned to take a walk with Jonathan tonight. Hearing his vivacious laughter, she was sure that he was in a good mood.

However, when she came out with the tied garbage bag, she saw his sullen face as he continued talking.

Tracy frowned, knowing fully well that her plans of walking around would be rescheduled for another night.

She furrowed her eyebrows. A part of her wondered why his mood had changed so suddenly.

She turned around, about to throw her garbage away.

However, just as she was about to take two steps towards the door, Jonathan raised his voice. "You bastard! Come here right now!"

Startled, Tracy whirled around. Jonathan had already hung up.

"What's wrong? Did something happen?"

Jonathan gritted his teeth and shook his head. He breathed heavily as if he had just competed in a triathlon. He motioned to his phone. "Our son is a good-for-nothing bastard!" She straightened her back. "What happened?"

"Bastard! What he's done has shamed us!"

he spat out. "Someone just called me to congratulate my son. Of course, I was ecstatic! Rachel's such a great woman, but do you know what he told me next?"

Tracy swallowed nervously. Putting the garbage bag aside, she walked over to Jonathan and massaged his shoulders. "Calm down," she said softly. "It's not good for your blood pressure."

"I know that," Jonathan said impatiently. He stared at Tracy. "Do you know what he did next? The man laughed at me. It turns out your son took two women to the banquet."

She furrowed her eyebrows, withdrawing her hands. "Two?"

"The other was none other than Celine! In fact, you know what else they said? They said that he and Celine left Rachel in the banquet and went off!" Tracy's jaw dropped.

Jonathan was fuming. Once Jack got here, he would teach him a thing or two on how to treat his wife.

Tracy gritted her teeth. She had never expected that her son would act like this!

Why would he do such a thing?

She didn't think that her son would be that unreliable, but considering what he had done in the past, she didn't trust him as much.

Tracy couldn't make promises to Jonathan without any evidence.

Jonathan was furious. He didn't expect that he would hear such gossip from an outsider! It was as if Jack had wanted to stain his name. Jonathan gripped the corners of his phone, cursing angrily, "That brat!" Tracy tried her best to soothe his anger by rubbing her shoulders, but she didn't say a word. A part of her couldn't help but think that Jonathan was probably blowing this all out in proportions. In fact, he might be even angrier than Rachel herself.

Rachel wouldn't be this overwhelmed.

Jack came as soon as he received the phone call. Before Tracy could have a word with him, he was already called into the study.

Tracy was afraid that Jonathan would punish her son, so she made sure to put away any dangerous things in the study before Jack arrived.

She waited downstairs anxiously the whole time, thinking of how Jack was faring under Jonathan's iron fist.

'He's really in trouble this time.'

Although Jack had suffered no loss in the business sector, he had failed when it came to marriage and love.

She couldn't believe that he would mess around with two women at the same time!

It seemed that she didn't raise him well at all.

He still couldn't let that flirtatious woman go! In fact, it was also high time that she should teach Celine a lesson.

After all, she already considered Rachel as her daughter-in-law. She was not going to let another woman bully her right under her nose!

Even then, she was still furious as to Jack's decision.

Tracy planned to talk to Jack once he went down. However, what she didn't expect was for him to hurriedly sprint down the stairs. "You're already finished?" she said, blinking in surprise. She quickly surveyed his body for any bruises before she sighed in relief.

"Your father didn't hit you, did he?"

"No, he didn't." Jack glanced at his watch. Without another word, he bypassed his mother and rushed out the door.

Pursing her lips, Tracy pulled him back. "What's wrong? Where are you going? Can't you stay and talk to me first?"

Shooting her an apologetic look, Jack gently removed her hand. "Mom, I'll speak to you later, okay? Something happened in the company."

Tracy immediately let go for him. "What happened?"

Afraid that she might worry, he waved his hand. "It's fine. I'll take care of it."

"Drive slowly!"

He waved his car keys, implying that he already knew that.

Staring at his back, Tracy couldn't help but feel disappointed. She used to think that he was so annoying when he was a kid. Now that he grew up, he wouldn't even spend time with her anymore.

These days, it was already hard enough to reach out to him. He was always so busy. In fact, if she wanted to meet up with him, she had to call and set up an appointment.

In the past seven or eight years, she had led a leisurely life. Back then, she travelled around the world, visiting mountains and rivers. Now that she was much older, she couldn't do the things that she wanted to do. Now, she usually visited some of her old friends or go abroad with her husband.

Seeing her empty house, she felt lonely.

Both her son and daughter-in-law weren't home. Thinking of this, Tracy envied her friends who already had grandchildren.

This time, she wanted Jack to clear out his relationship with Celine.

Otherwise, when would she be able to have a grandchild?

Thinking about this, she sighed and walked to her room.

It took Jack two days to solve the company's emergency.

Whenever he had the time, he would reach for his phone and try to call Rachel.

However, no matter how many times he tried to call her, she wouldn't answer. In fact, she wouldn't even text him back. She had even blacklisted him on social media. At the thought, he couldn't help but smile bitterly. It seemed he had really did it this time.

As soon as the important dinner party was over, Jack drove to Rachel's house. He hadn't been there for three consecutive days.

However, since he was so sleepy, he had dozed up in the car. In fact, he didn't even wake up until dawn.

Jack blinked his eyes wearily, groaning when he could see the sunlight streaming through his window. He glanced at his watch. It was already 7 a.m.

It was incredibly stuffy inside the car. He pushed the door open and got out. The sunlight made him cover his sleepy eyes.

He adjusted his clothes in front of the window, gazing at his reflection. However, no matter what he tried, the clothes he was wearing were still wrinkled.

Giving up, he decided to walk up to her home. After so many days, he finally had the courage to come over. He stood on her doorstep and knocked on the door.

He had already prepared for her initial rejection. Jack straightened his back and closed his eyes, praying that she wouldn't be as harsh to him.

However, no matter how much he knocked on the door or rang the doorbell, she still didn't answer.

Soon enough, fifteen minutes had passed.

Still, no one responded. After standing for a while, Jack decided to input the password. The door clicked open.

After hesitating for a while, he pushed the door.

There was a shoe rack next to the entry way. Jack initially had no intention in observing what shoes were displayed on the rack,

but something caught his eye.

He froze. Why were their men's shoes on the rack?

Who would visit her this early in the morning?

With his hands clenched, he stalked in and surveyed the empty living room.

He didn't realize that he looked like a wolf patrolling around his territory. However, as he searched the room, he found no traces of another man living here.

He glanced at the kitchen to see it almost untouched. Didn't she get up yet?
