Stuck in you

Chapter 68 Are You Impotent

When Mendes heard what Rachel said, he immediately jumped to defend himself. "I swear, I didn't talk nonsense!"

Rachel didn't know how he found he was moved to the bedside. She and Jack had already gotten up before the boy woke up.

There was nothing she could do to clear her name. Children never lie and Lea was positive that there was something wrong with Rachel and Jack.

She sighed heavily. "You can't escape Jack's seduction, he's quite good at it."

Rachel open her mouth, dumbfounded. "Jack's seduction? What are you talking about?"

"There's no doubt you could not resist his charms. After all, he's so handsome!"

Rachel stroked her forehead in frustration and closed her eyes. "Do you think me to be that shallow?"

"You know what, forget it..." Lea waved my hand dismissively. "If you want to keep your relationship, you have to deal with that woman first. In all honesty, there are other men much better than Jack."

Rachel knew that Lea wanted to say that she was better off with Lucas. But it seemed that she carefully chose her words to avoid any further complication and unnecessary embarrassment.

Rachel pursed her lips, not knowing whether Lea was joking or serious. It was a little strange to explain the situation to her right now. Before she had arrived, Jack agreed to the divorce. This meant that he would have to live with her. But telling Lea all of this would only support her claim.

It was too complicated to explain to Lea.

She thought for a while and decided not to tell Lea for now.

She hadn't expect that Jack would reply to her so quickly. He had told her to give him three days, but he called her on the first night.

"I agree to the terms of the divorce agreement." Rachel paused and asked, "What did you say?"

"Do I really need to repeat it? You should have heard it. " Jack shrugged off her question.

She did hear what he had said, but she remained doubtful. Was he joking?

He didn't even fully utilize the three days!

"I see... Okay..." Rachel looked at the ceiling. She didn't know what to say.

She thought about him moving into her house and felt awkward. It was no doubt a mutual and beneficial agreement. It seemed to be the fastest and most efficient way out of their marriage and they both knew that. She thought about it for a while and then asked,

"Have you told your father?"

On the other side of the phone, Jack frowned. Why did she keep doubting him?

She was the first one he called after making his decision. He knew that when his father, Johnathan, found out, he would take this opportunity to make fun of him.

The day before yesterday, he was indecisive, thinking that he couldn't say yes. But for some reason, he changed his mind.

Secretly, Jack was ashamed of his continually changing attitude. "I...I haven't told him yet."

Rachel placed the pen on the table and replied, "You have to tell him first. We need to sign the agreement and then think about what we should do next."

Jack grimaced. He felt so awkward.

Why did it sounded so familiar? It mirrored how treated his subordinates when he had held meetings in the past.

"Jack?" Rachel furrowed her eyebrows. It seemed that he had zoned out.

"Yes, I heard you." "Don't worry. I will handle this by myself. I just needed to inform you of my decision so you're prepared," said Jack, trying to clear up the confusion in his mind.

'Prepared? For what?'

Rachel hesitated, picked up the pen and began spinning it between her fingers. "Alright. Just tell me beforehand when you plan on moving in with me."

After hanging up the phone, Jack buried his head in his arms and exhaled. He stretched his legs under the table. Michael grabbed two bottles of beer and handed one to him.

Jack felt the blood vessels in his forehead throbbing violently. When he was about to take a sip of the drink, he suddenly remembered that his doctor prohibited him from drinking.

He resentfully placed the bottle down. "I can't drink."

Michael looked at the bandage on Jack's forehead and laughed. He walked over and sat next to Jack and patted his shoulder. "Why do you stay at my place? Why not go to your sweetheart?"

Michael's words made Jack feel sick. 'My sweetheart?'

Speaking of Celine, it occurred to Jack that he hadn't told her about his injury and the car accident. Well, he wasn't planning on telling her at all. He took out his phone and checked the last time he called her. It had been a few days since they talked.

They had another argument again for the same reason, the time when Celine and Rachel ran into each other.

'A store offering maternal and infant products?'

At that time, he wondered why Rachel went to that store. But after meeting Mendes, he understood why she had been there.

In the past, he had always felt distressed when he heard Celine cry. But nothing he ever did made her feel better. At this point, he was so sick and tired of the same cycle.

She had lost her temper again that day, and he was too tired of dealing with it. She had become more and more unreasonable.

It would be nice for them to be apart, at least for a few days.

He reached out for the beer bottle and gently rubbed it in his palm. "Rachel and I have decided to file for divorce."

"Okay. Congrats?" Michael was not surprised at all. He believed that they would've had to divorce sooner or later. "For Celine?" he asked casually. NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

Jack frowned. "Why does everyone think it's for Celine?"

"If it weren't for her, would you even want a divorce?" Michael stared at his friend with curious eyes.

Jack opened his mouth and closed it, not knowing what to say. If Celine was the reason for the divorce, then he wouldn't have waited for so many years.

He really liked Celine and could tolerate the way she challenged his patience. But there was a line between them.

No matter how unreasonable Celine, Jack tolerated her again and again.

But in the end, he was really tired.

Maybe, they had to separate for the meantime to figure themselves out.

Besides, he had to follow the agreement and live with Rachel, in order to process their divorce. Jack wasn't sure whether Celine would be mad about it.

Additionally, even if they signed the agreement, it would still take time for its implementation.

Their agreement wouldn't come into force until after a year. If he moved to live in with Rachel, Celine would know about it.

Jack couldn't tell Celine because it involved his self-esteem. Even if she accepted it, she would have to wait for him for a year. Time was currency, and he hoped that he might be able to strike a good bargain with his father.

But how would Celine be able to bare the fact that he was living with Rachel? Jack thought about it over, and decided that perhaps it was the best choice for them to separate for a while.

She would be able to clear her head and he would be able to resolve this issue at hand.

If she decided to wait for him and stay with him after the divorce, then he would throw the grandest party in celebration for giving her a formal identity in his life.

But if she was determined to break up with him, then he wouldn't force her to stay with him.

Michael examined at the wound on his head. He sighed and drank more beer. "You do know that most women have low EQ. It's very easy for them to get hurt."

Jack's face darkened. "When did I have so many women?"

He squinted and said, "Is Rachel not a woman?"

"She is, but she isn't my woman." Jack tried to defend himself.

Michael gave him a funny look. "Isn't she technically your woman?" He thought about what Jack said last time, the fact that Jack hadn't had sex for so many years.

He thought it was a joke.

But when he brought it up later, Jack's face turned sour.

Michael realized a terrible fact. Jack and Rachel had already been married for five years, and he had been with Celine for almost four years.

But Celine had declared that she and Jack hadn't had sex yet. What if he never touched Rachel either? Michael was shocked.

Michael glared at Jack, freaked out. He immediately turned his head sideways to avoid eye contact. He stammered, "What do you want to say?"

Michael placed an arm over his shoulder. "Jack."

Annoyed, Jack slapped his handsome face and said in disgust, "Don't talk to me in such a disgusting tone. Out with it. Don't be bashful!"

Michael hesitated for a moment and finally asked, "Are you impotent?"

Jack hadn't had sex with Celine or Rachel. Being a neat freak, he wasn't the type to touch a woman so casually. That only meant, that he had had sex for many years.
