Stuck in you

Chapter 63 Will You Divorce Rachel

Jack's face darkened.

Mendes lifted his head, his face giving away his bewildered expression.

Jonathan caught his dazzled look and smiled, touching Mendes' head. "It's okay. Just eat your food," he coaxed him.

"Okay," Mendes answered.

After dinner, Jonathan asked Rachel to go to his study alone.

Taking advantage of the moment, Tracy hurriedly rushed to her son. Full of nerves, she whispered, "Will You Divorce Rachel?"

Her words quickly pierced through Jack's ears giving him a headache in the process. He rubbed his forehead trying to soothe the slight pain and indifferently answered, "It all depends on her."

Tracy was now getting a little angry and nervously said, "You two get along well with each other for so many years. Why do you want a divorce? Is it because... she forced you?"

Tracy was actually referring to Celine. In fact, she was afraid that her son would claim that he had gotten Celine pregnant.

She knew deep down her heart she didn't have a liking for Celine. 'What if she got pregnant?' Tracy thought to herself. NôvelDrama.Org content.

Her husband like children so much. She thought maybe Jonathan would accept Celine if she was pregnant.

"Jack... Don't tell me that woman..." she stammered.

"Mom, you are thinking too much." Jack knew exactly what his mother wanted to say just by glancing at her as he had gotten really great at reading her face over the years.

"Whether I divorce Rachel or not has nothing to do with Celine, alright? Which couple in the world is like us?" he mocked.

He and Rachel couldn't be counted as a real couple.

For them, it seemed they had made a massive mistake in getting married five years ago. The best solution was to get separated from each other now.

To be honest, he had come to the conclusion that he couldn't afford another five years.

After finishing his dinner, Mendes went to the living room and turned the television to his favorite cartoon. Tracy looked at his little figure and hesitantly asked, "Is this boy really Rachel's friend's?"

"Oh, so do you really think that Rachel is his mother?" Jack asked as he tried to comprehend what his mother was trying to mean.

Tracy held her head low as it turned red with embarrassment. She hesitated for a while as she was unable to get an answer to her son's question.

Jack sighed, "Mom, you are thinking too much."

Though he and Rachel had seldom met each other, she didn't have the time to get pregnant and give birth to a boy.

Besides, he knew Rachel was not the kind of person to have an illegitimate child.

"Mom, I take Rachel as my younger sister. Even if I do not end up marrying Celine, Rachel and I won't be together."

Somehow, he felt guilty when he said this.

'Did I really treat Rachel as my sister?' he thought to himself. When he finally digested these words, Jack felt very guilty.

All of a sudden, the scene of her showing up at Francis' engagement party popped up in his head. The moment she elegantly walked into the hall left a deep impression on him.

To this moment, Jack couldn't explain what he felt towards her clearly.

All he knew was that he had different feelings at that time. Rachel and Jonathan had a long conversation.

Jack couldn't think of why they talked to each other for such a while. They seemed natural as they finished their chat and walked out.

He had no idea whether his father had mentioned anything to her in regards to the divorce.

That was the exact reason why Jack had come here. But he felt like he was tricked by his father.

As Rachel walked past where he was stood, he stepped forward, grabbed her arm and pulled her outside. "What are you doing?" she asked as she was slightly astonished.

He pursed his lips and answered, "We need to talk."

"Again!?" she exclaimed.

They walked towards the French windows to get some privacy. Jack couldn't hold his temper any longer. He turned towards Rachel and asked, "Did he tell you anything?"

Rachel understood exactly what he was implying to and nodded her head without saying anything. In fact, she didn't expect Jack's father would mention it to her.

It seemed that Jack had long known about this.

Rachel didn't really care whether she would get separated from Jack at all.

As she said earlier,

she only cared whether Jonathan agreed.

Jonathan really agreed, but he had some strings attached.

Rachel didn't know how to respond when she heard what Jonathan said.

She looked at Jack and asked him in a low voice, "Did Dad also tell you those conditions?"

With his eyes widening in surprise and his mouth twitching, Jack asked, "Did you agree to what he told you?"

"No," she answered.

He took a deep breathe of relief and stated mockingly, "At least you are not stupid."

When she heard this, Rachel stared at him for a while as she was in deep thought. She looked really serious at this moment and finally asked, "What do you think about what Dad said?"

"Think about what!?" He raised his eyebrows trying to understand what she was saying. He was clearly puzzled at this point.

"He thinks we should stay together for a year and then divorce."

With a self-satisfied smirk on his face, Jack asked, "Why should I consider that at all?"

Rachel expressed her stand. "I have no objection to his proposal. But I want to shorten one year to half a year. When the time arrives, we can get divorced."

"Why do you have to do this to me?" Jack protested as he raised his head in clear frustration.

She raised her eyes and looked at him. She asked him with provocation, "Are you scared?"

He smiled and his eyes darkened. "Rachel, do you know you should never provoke a man?"

"I am not provoking you," she said calmly. "I am just expressing my stand. It's up to you whether you want to follow his request or not."

If she could divorce Jack after staying with him for half a year, she thought it was acceptable.

Moreover, they didn't live with Tracy and Jonathan. Jonathan would have no idea whether she really lived in the same house as Jack as per the agreement.

As long as Jack moved in, they could do whatever they wanted. He was free to sleep in another woman's place as long as Jonathan didn't know.

Rachel couldn't understand why Jack was so hesitant to agree to this idea.

"Why did you refuse?" she asked. "Don't you think it's a fair deal?"

'A fair deal?' When he heard these words, Jack almost raised his hand to touch his forehead in frustration. "Don't you think there is a trap in it?" he asked. "Do you think he will let us get a divorce so easily?"

She thought for a while and shook her head. She really couldn't figure out whether there was a trap in the idea.

"What trap?" she asked inquisitively. She tilted her head slightly, trying to pull out her doubts from her mind one by one. "Do you mean your father wants to set you up? What benefits can he get by setting you up with me?"

Hearing her words, Jack was rendered speechless. She was totally right.

And on second thought, it wasn't possible to force them to love each other.

Jonathan had tried his best to make them live together. But as long as Jack didn't sleep with Rachel, nothing would happen between them even if they lived together for ten years.

As the night grew darker, they stayed at Fu family's house. Mendes slept with them. Fortunately, Lucas had prepared everything for Mendes.

Rachel brought Mendes's stuff with her so that he could change. The boy insisted on taking a bath by himself.

She was unable to dissuade him, so she boiled the water for him and let him do whatever he wanted.

This room was where Jack used to stay in when he was single.

It was a small room with limited space, and as soon as Jack came in, he was greeted with a warm scene.

Mendes came out of the bathroom after Rachel had urged him to do so.

Then he found the soft bed and rushed onto the bed. He rolled on the bed in excitement.

Rachel was trying to grab him. Though he was fat, his movement was very flexible. Before she was able to touch him, he rolled away to a farther place.

She rolled up her sleeves and climbed onto the bed, trying to catch him.

Standing by the door, Jack was getting aroused.

Rachel knelt on the bed in front of him, stretching out and bending over herself trying to catch the boy.

Her waist and buttock showed a graceful shape...

He was clearly impressed with what was before him.

He hadn't had sex for years. Looking at what was happening in front of him, he felt his throat dry.

He swallowed some saliva trying to wet his throat and stood there for a while. The stupid woman still couldn't grab the boy.

He snorted and turned around to leave.

Rachel broke out in a sweat. But Mendes thought she was playing games with him. He was so excited and couldn't stop rolling on the bed.

Rachel was afraid to hurt Mendes so she didn't dare to grab him too hard.

Rachel was afraid that Mendes might catch a cold. When she was about to trick him into coming to her, a figure appeared beside the bed.

Jack stretched out his long arm and easily caught the boy.

Mendes was obedient to Jack.

Jack raised his chin and said, "Put on your clothes."
