Chapter 320 Harboring Lustful Thoughts

Although looking at the fabric was just Old Mrs. Jones’s excuse, she really wanted to give Rachel

some.

After selecting some fabric, Rachel returned with Rosie.

However, to Rachel’s surprise, she did not see David around.

Old Mrs. Jones saw her subconscious looking around and a smile appeared on her lips.

“That brat went to answer a call.” Old Mrs. Jones patted the seat beside her and said, “Girl, come sit

beside me.”

Rachel responded and walked over to sit down.

Old Mrs. Jones took her hand and gently patted the back of it. “It’s been hard on you to be dating this

brat, David,” she said.

Rachel laughed. “He’s very good.”

She never felt mistreated being with David.

On the contrary, she felt aggrieved for David.

If only she had met him earlier.

Old Mrs. Jones said, “You don’t have to put in a good word for him. I know his temper the best. If he

dares to bully you in the future, tell me and I’ll definitely stand on your side!”

It was just a simple sentence, but it made Rachel’s heart feel warm.

It turned out that love beyond blood ties existed too.

“But he’s really good to me,” Rachel said from the bottom of her heart.

“You’re so gentle, sensible, and lovable. No wonder someone would lust after you!” Old Mrs. Jones

said as she looked meaningfully at David’s back.

Rachel was speechless.

She thought it wouldn’t be appropriate for such things to be said out loud.

Just as she was thinking about it, Old Mrs. Jones say slowly, “The Jones family is a large family. There

are too many things to deal with every day. As the eldest son of his father’s lawful wife, David has been

nurtured as the heir since he was a child. He has never disappointed us. He has never been willing to

tell us the hardships he has suffered, but since he was born into the

Jones family, he has to shoulder extraordinary responsibilities.”

At this point, Old Mrs. Jones paused for a moment. The smile on her face faded a little, and his eyes

were filled with seriousness. “Those people only thought about how to make him a qualified heir, but

they forgot that David was also a living person!”

“Abstain from love? Hmph! How dare those people say that? They just needed an obedient puppet!”

Hearing this, Rachel frowned imperceptibly.

Abstain from love?

It turned out that David had been indoctrinated with such thoughts since he

was a child.

But shouldn’t humans have emotions and desires?

“Rae–Rae, don’t blame me for being nosy.”

“How could I? Thank you for telling me all this. It allowed me to understand

him a little better.”

Old Mrs. Jones held her hand tightly and said, “I should be the one thanking you. All these years, David

has been alone. Although I feel sorry for him, I know that feelings can’t be forced. Now that you’re by

his side, I’m relieved. He’s bad with words but he’s not a bad person. From the time he went to the

neighboring overnight to bring you the ointment for your rashes, I could tell that he treats you like a

precious gem. Therefore, I hope that no matter what happens to you in the future, you can forgive him.”

Bad with words?

Rachel thought otherwise.

Just as she was thinking about it, Old Mrs. Jones suddenly asked a question that caught her off guard,

“Rae–Rae, have you been to Aureliana before?”

Rachel shook her head and answered, “Never been there.”

If she hadn’t met David, she probably wouldn’t have heard of Aureliana for

the rest of her life.

However, ever since David said that he would bring her to take a look when he was free, she suddenly

yearned to visit this mysterious place.

Old Mrs. Jones stared at her face and slowly looked down. She picked up the cup and sighed. “So you

haven’t been there before…”
