Chapter 271 Terrifying Desire

In the dimly lit carriage, two figures were tangled together.

Rachel wanted to push him away, but the man grabbed her wrist tightly and pulled her closer to the

corner of the car.

The man was so domineering that he did not give Rachel any chance to

escape.

Rachel looked up at the man in front of her.

Their eyes met without warning.

The man’s dark eyes were undisguisedly exposed to Rachel’s eyes, filled with a terrifying desire as if

he wanted to eat Rachel alive.

Rachel’s eyelashes fluttered in panic.

Rachel’s heart seemed to have been gripped by something neither heavy nor light. Her heart beat

uncontrollably like a drum beating.

The feeling of suffocation made one dizzy. In the ambiguous atmosphere, rationality was gradually lost.

Rachel followed the man’s kiss like a stranded fish, trying to survive by all means.

Just before Rachel’s rationality was exhausted, David let go of her.

Rachel panted heavily. Her fair cheeks blushed.

David wrapped his arms tightly around Rachel’s lean waist and looked down at the woman next to him.

There was a faint smile on his lips. David’s voice was low and slow, especially seductive. “Rae, you’re

not completely ready.”

The man’s warm breath swept past Rachel’s hair and entered her ears, causing Rachel’s fingertips to

curl tightly.

Rachel’s body stiffened. Rachel pursed her lips, and she said in a slightly hoarse voice, “I’m sorry…”

Rachel admitted that she had feelings for David, but she could not trust him completely and give herself

to him.

Rachel even felt a lingering fear when she saw how well David treated her.

Rachel was afraid of losing David and even more afraid of being abandoned. Ever since she was

young, Rachel had experienced too many losses. She had been abandoned by the people closest to

her, so she kept her guard up

against everyone.

“I’m the one who should be apologizing.” David gently stroked Rachel’s soft hair with his palm and said

unhurriedly, “I was too impatient.”

Rachel’s eyes flashed slightly. “Actually, you can criticize me. It’s only fair…”

“No,” David interrupted her. “I understand your concerns and your inner vulnerability and sensitivity.

You can have reservations about me. After all, it’s my thing to gain your trust.”

David looked down at the woman in his arms and saw the faint blush on her face. A smile flashed

across David’s eyes. “I want you to feel loved, not by just saying it.

Rachel’s breathing slowed down slightly. Her excitement was like a warm current that poured into her

heart. Gradually, she felt a bitter apology.

Rachel hooked her arms around the man’s neck and buried her head in his neck. She greedily

breathed in the breath that made her feel at ease.

“Heavens, if only I had met him earlier…” Rachel thought.

At this moment, Eddie took the box containing the queen’s crown and habitually instructed his assistant

to deliver it to Sandalwood Hills. However, Eddie heard David say, “Deliver it to Platinum Mansion.”

Eddie was stunned for a moment before he reacted. “Yes.”

Rachel raised her eyebrows slightly when she heard that. A playful smile flashed across her eyes.

“You’re giving me 20 billion dollars just like that?”

“You don’t like it?” David looked at Rachel.

Rachel’s heart was filled with sweetness. The corners of her lips curled up subconsciously. “Don’t you

feel that you’ve suffered a loss?”

David’s eyes were filled with smiles. “As long as you like it, it’s worth it.”

In the past, David had never understood the feeling of spending money to win a beauty’s smile. Now,

he seemed to understand.

He was even a little addicted to it.
