Chapter 1168: Chapter 1168 Going Along With The Mood

Since there was no one in the Granger family, Eddison stayed in the Gellert family’s residence.

Due to the pressure, the two of them had to stay in the same room together. When they got up in the morning, he found that he was alone in the room.

The housekeeper told him that Rachel had gone out early in the morning.

Eddison kept himself busy with his homework for a while. When he went downstairs again, it was already noon, but Rachel still had not returned.

At that moment, Rachel was in a coffee shop, and her heart was filled with sorrow.

In the beginning, when she heard what Bianca said, she felt incredibly upset. She wondered if Bianca had stayed at home for too long, and had begun to think nonsense.

Therefore, she had not acted rashly in the beginning. She wanted to find out what was going on.

However, after she waited for a few days, there was not much news from Jarred. So, she decided to investigate her father’s secretary, Jessica and found that she was only a secretary by name. In truth, Jessica had been Jarred’s lover for more than half a year.

Rachel wanted to talk to Jarred about the matter, but every time she mentioned it to him, he would change the subject. She could not talk to him at all.

That day, she knew that Jarred would show up at the coffee shop, therefore she had specially come to find him.

As she was in thought, a familiar black car slowly stopped at the door.

Rachel took a sip of her coffee and watched as Jarred got out of the car. Although he was still her father, he looked completely different at the moment.

He wore a vibrant-colored casual suit that did not match his age, and he held a bouquet of flowers in his hand.

In her memory, Jarred had never given flowers to Bianca.

He had never looked so youthful and filled with laughter before!

He saw Rachel and was stunned for a moment, and the smile on his face froze.

“Why are you here? Did your mother ask you to come?”

Rachel stood up and said, “No, she doesn’t know that I’m here. I wanted to talk to you.”

Jarred looked pale as he insisted, “If there’s anything urgent, then let’s talk when we get back.”

Rachel said with a faint smile, “If you did return home, would I have come here to find you?”

“You…” Jarred was still a man of integrity. He did not want his own child to know about the dirty things he had done.

“Ten minutes. Just give me ten minutes.”

“Come in!”

The two of them entered into a private room.

Although it was a private room, it was not completely closed off. Compared to other open rooms, it was only just a little hidden.

Rachel felt that room was somewhat the same as Jarred’s attitude right then.

It was obvious that him cheating on Bianca was a well-known fact, yet he was still trying to keep it a secret.

As soon as he sat down, even before Rachel spoke, Jarred had already begun to teach her a lesson.

“You are already married. You shouldn’t meddle with our family affairs in the future. Didn’t you say that you’ve always wanted to study abroad? Why have you suddenly returned? Tomorrow, you’ll go back…”

Rachel interrupted him.

“Are you planning to go on like this?”

Jarred was stunned, “Are you teaching me a lesson?”

“No!” Rachel pursed her lips. Truth be told, she was still a little afraid of Jarred. After all, Bianca was the one who had brought her up and educated her.

Jarred was the pillar of the family. As his daughter, she had to be considerate and respectful towards him She had done so since she was a child!

Rachel took a deep breath and calmed her jumble of emotions down.

“Mom has been ill for days. Aren’t you going back to see her?”

Jarred’s face suddenly became a little darker, “It’s not that I don’t want to go back to see her, but have you seen her? She has been frowning all day, as if she has suffered a lot! I’m really tired and busy when I work in the company. When I go back, there isn’t a cheerful face for me to see! She really is getting old! She isn’t as considerate as she was when she was young!”

Rachel felt an even bigger mix of emotions.

She simply could not believe that such words would come out from Jarred, her father whom she had highly regarded before.

“Dad, she wasn’t like this before. Now that she has become like this, isn’t it because…”

She looked at the bouquet of flowers and wanted to say something but stopped on a second thought.

“Because of what?” Jarred flew into a rage from embarrassment.

“I was just going along with the mood. What do you even know? Don’t let your imagination run wild just because of something your mother said! Go home quickly!”

“Dad!” Rachel hated herself. Obviously, she felt overwhelmed in her heart and wanted to figure out how to solve the problem, but at that moment, she was still a coward!

“That’s enough, stop talking. I’ll go back for dinner tonight. Your mother is just unhappy. She will be fine!”

When Rachel heard that Jarred was coming back for dinner, she felt a little relieved.

She thought about it and reckoned that it was better to discuss the problem in person.

“Then, I’ll go back first!”

Jarred nodded and watched Rachel as she left.

When she got outside, she was about to take a taxi when her mobile phone rang. Bianca was calling her, “Where have you been? I haven’t seen you today. Even Eddison was worried about you.”

“It’s nothing. I went to the company to meet Dad.”

Rachel did not dare to say that they had met outside the company. Bianca heard what Rachel said and asked expectantly, “What did your father say? Has he been eating well?”

Rachel felt sad in her heart, but she still comforted Bianca.

“Nothing has happened. He’s fine. He said that he’ll be back for dinner tonight!”

“He’s coming back for dinner tonight?” Bianca became nervous all of a sudden.

“There’s nothing delicious at home these days, and I haven’t been out for many days. Why didn’t you tell me earlier that your father would be back for dinner? I’ll ask someone to prepare the food now! You should come back early too!”

Rachel had no choice but to say, “Mom…”

She wanted to say, “Aren’t you angry? He broke your heart and yet when he smiles at you, you’re willing to give him your whole world.”

“However, that doesn’t mean that he won’t hurt you again in the future!”

Bianca really was silly!

However, when the words were about to come out from her mouth, she stopped.

She remembered how Bianca was like a walking corpse in the past few days. She would rather see her in the state she was at the moment. Obviously, the love Bianca gave Jarred was tragic, but she was finally energetic to be able to meet him that night.

“What’s the matter?” Bianca asked curiously.

“It’s nothing.”

“Alright then. Oh, by the way, haven’t you been to the company? There is a famous old store that sells a certain spice. Could you drop by and buy me a bottle of it? Oh, no, you didn’t drive, did you? I’ll call Eddison to pick you up!”

After that, she hung up on the call before Rachel could answer.

Rachel sighed and sent a message to Eddison.

“It’s okay. I’ll go back by myself. You don’t have to pick me up!”

After she sent the message, she put away her mobile phone and was about to leave. Then, a red sports car stopped in front of her. There was a young woman in a tight red dress in the car. Her long wavy hair was moving with the wind.

Everyone’s eyes were on her.

Rachel recognized her. She was Jarred’s rumored secretary, Jessica.

Sure enough, Jarred had come to meet her!
