Chapter 218

Rachel got into the back seat of David’s car.

The man hooked his arm, wrapped one hand around Rachel’s slender waist, and the other hand

passed through the crook of her leg. He picked Rachel up horizontally and placed her on his lap.

“Oh!”

This sudden action made Rachel shout out in surprise. She subconsciously wrapped his arms around

David’s neck.

The distance between the two of them was suddenly shortened.

“Do you know how hard it took me to resist the urge to take you away?” The man’s deep, hoarse voice

sounded beside her ear.

Rachel lowered her head to hide the emotions in her eyes.

After a moment of silence, she bit her lip and said in a low voice, “I’m sorry.” David looked at her red

lips that were bitten by herself. He narrowed his eyes, and a dark and deep danger flashed in them.

“Look at me!”

His tone was casual, but when he finished speaking, it was more like an order that could not be

disobeyed.

Rachel’s eyelashes fluttered slightly. She slowly raised her eyes and looked at the man’s dark and

deep eyes without blinking.

The moment their eyes met, she could see the darkness in the man’s eyes.

His eyes were dark with unfathomable emotion, making one feel inexplicably timid.

“David, I…”

Before she could finish speaking, the man grabbed the back of her neck and bent down to kiss her lips.

The man’s aura domineered every single cell in her body.

He was more aggressive and expressive than usual. He gave his all. His ruthless bite was mixed with a

wave of unknown anger, making Rachel unable to resist.

Her hand that was pressed against the man’s chest kept curling up as she gripped the man’s shirt

tightly.

The man finally let go of her when she felt all the air in her lungs had been drained, and she was

dazzled.

“Don’t do it again!”

The man’s deep and cold voice sounded beside her ear

In an instant, Rachel felt a chill rush throughout her entire body

Rachel looked up and was caught off guard by the man’s dark eyes.

There was an undisguised dominance and tyranny hidden in his dark eyes. It was obvious that he was

determined to get Rachel

Suddenly, a smile appeared on Rachel’s face.

She leaned against the man’s chest and said calmly, “I remember mom telling me that every child is a

gift from God to a family, so children should enjoy the love and pampering of their parents, but I’ve

never felt true love, and pampering.

“I’ve experienced too much abandonment. Every time I’m abandoned, I’ll subconsciously think that the

problem lies with me. Is it because I’m not sensible enough? Is it because I didn’t perform well enough?

Is it because I’m not obedient enough? However, even if I try my best to be better, I can’t change their

prejudice against me. I can’t reverse the outcome of being abandoned.

“So when the news was exposed online, I instinctively thought that I was going to be abandoned

again.”

There was a suffocating sense of oppression in the car.

“I won’t leave you behind!” David grabbed the back of her neck and leaned over to plant a light kiss

between her eyebrows. “No matter what happens, I will always be by your side.”

Rachel smiled. “I know.”

The moment David said that they were getting married, Rachel sensed his determination and firmness.

“I just don’t have confidence in myself.”

David was born to be the center of attention. He was destined to stand at the peak. His life should be

dazzling and not be influenced by anything, not even by her.

“But don’t worry, I won’t give up. I can change.”

“No!” David interrupted her firmly. “You don’t have to change yourself for anyone, including me. You are

Rachel Grey, a distinct and unique individual.”
