Chapter 449

It was a very simple sentence, but it made Rachel feel a sense of shame.

“I’m saving a chance for you to escape unscathed,” David’s cold and deep voice sounded in her ears.

Actually, he wasn’t as gentle as Rachel thought he was.

He had once wanted to forcedly and domineeringly possess her. Even if she had the idea of leaving, he

would shackle her and bind her around forever.

However, these thoughts still only lingered in his heart and dissipated. Because he couldn’t bear to.

He had never had a crush on a woman, and he didn’t know much about tenderness, but he was willing

to do whatever he could for Rachel.

He wanted to give her all his gentleness.

Rachel tried to figure out the coldness in his words. Her beautiful eyes were sparkling like water.

“According to what you’re saying… Are you giving me a chance to leave you?”

David lifted his hand to brush away the hair on her face. He gently rubbed the corner of her lips with his

thumb, and there was an undisguised dominance and dominance in his dark eyes. “I’d advise you to

just think about it.”

“Then why did you…”

“I’m waiting for you.” David interrupted Rachel. He pressed his thin lips against her temple and kissed

her gently. His warm breath sprayed on her temple, causing her hair to flutter. His cold and not gentle

voice slowly entered her ears. “When you see the side of me that people don’t know, will you still be

willing to stay by my side?”

This was undoubtedly a huge gamble for David.

His tone was calm, but every word he said was unprecedentedly shocking when Rachel heard them.

Her eyebrows moved, and there was a layer of surprise in the depths of her beautiful eyes.

“Go to sleep.” David pulled her into his arms.

However, Rachel, who was nestled in his arms, did not feel sleepy for a long time.

The side of him that people didn’t know…

What kind of David would that be?

Rachel thought for a long time. In the end, under the engulfment of sleepiness,

she could not help but close her eyes and fall asleep.

Early in the morning, the bright sunlight seeped into the room through the gap in the curtains.

It splattered on the soft carpet and spread all the way until it landed beside the bed.

Rachel opened her eyes in a daze. Her consciousness had yet to return as she stared blankly at the

ceiling above her head.

Her phone suddenly rang.

She fumbled for her phone and picked it up. There was a hint of softness in her cold voice as she woke

up. “Hello.”

“It’s me,” came the voice of Louis.

When Rachel heard this, the laziness in her eyes instantly disappeared, replaced by a hint of mockery.

“Oh, Mr. Smith…”

She dragged out the last syllable, and her tone was filled with mockery.

On the other end of the phone, Louis fell into a short silence. Then, he said, “What will it take for you to

give up the lawsuit?”

“As expected, it’s for your sweetheart.” Rachel leaned lazily against the headboard. A mocking smile

appeared on her face without makeup.

Louis chattered, “Do you know that during this period of time, Olivia has been tortured to the point that

she doesn’t even want to eat or drink? This matter doesn’t have much to do with you, to begin with.

Moreover, it was five years ago. Why do you have to dig it out and be aggressive?”

“She should have known that this day would come when she committed evil, right?” Rachel sneered.

“Or did she think she could rest easy if she found someone to take the blame?”

“Rachel!” When Louis heard Rachel’s unreasonable words, he immediately roared angrily, “Everyone

makes mistakes. Moreover, Olivia was only playing a joke at that time. Do you have to hold on to it? If

you withdraw the lawsuit, the Cruise family will give the couple in Pollister whatever they want!”
