Chapter 462

Rachel panted slightly and calmed her breathing.

When she heard his words, the thin blush on her face suddenly spread to her ears.

Looking at her bright red face, David chuckled.

He gently rubbed her face with his fingertips. “Would you like to open the box for me?”

Rachel’s eyebrows twitched slightly. “It isn’t appropriate, is it?”

“Well, nothing not appropriate,” David said. He leaned forward and handed the box to Rachel.

While opening it, Rachel asked, “Did she especially come here to give you this gift?”

“No, she didn’t.” There was a sharp glint in David’s deep eyes. He looked up at Rachel and said slowly,

“She was here for your sake.”

Although David was in Seaxas, he was secretly monitored by the Elders of Aureliana.

Perhaps news had reached their ears, and Rachel’s existence had attracted their attention. They

wanted to monitor Rachel, so David simply got rid of all the spies.

However, David’s actions had made the Elders wary.

At this moment, Rachel had already opened the box.

Inside the box was an extremely sharp dagger. Its hilt was engraved with a lion, and its blade with

auspicious clouds.

What was worth mentioning was that the dagger was completely black. Even under the lights, the

dagger didn’t reveal a glimmer of light.

It was suitable for assassination in the dark.

When Rachel heard his words, she raised her eyebrows a little. “It proves that I’m quite charming.”

Marina had come here for Rachel’s sake.

It seemed that people from Aureliana had already known about Rachel’s relationship with David.

“By the way, how are you going to celebrate your birthday?” Rachel closed the box again and placed it

on the table casually. “Are you going back to Aureliana to hold the birthday party?”

She thought that because of David’s status, the birthday party would definitely be very grand.

After David heard this, complicated emotions surged in the depths of his black eyes. “No, I’m not. I will

stay with Grandma in Seaxas.”

“Why has Grandma been alone in Seaxas?”

In fact, Rachel had always been curious about this matter. She had thought that it would be a little

abrupt to suddenly ask David this question. However, this was the right time to ask it, so she asked

David carefully.

David glanced at her with a faint smile. “They’re at odds.”

Hearing this, Rachel heaved a sigh of relief.

She had just been secretly annoyed at herself for asking a question she shouldn’t have asked.

“Have you decided when you will go with me?” David suddenly changed the topic. The two of them had

agreed that Rachel would go with David to Aureliana to take a look after she was done with her work.

However, Arthur had just recovered. Soon, it would be the triennial meeting of the Chamber of

Commerce. Rachel could not leave for the time being..

David seemed to sense her dilemma, so he said, “It’s all right. You can give me an answer when you’ve

made arrangements.”

“Okay.”

“What would you like to eat?”

“It’s up to you.”

David and Rachel walked out of the office hand in hand.

“Miss Grey, your things.” Eddie walked forward respectfully and handed the shopping bag to Rachel.

David noticed the logo on the shopping bag. He raised his eyebrows slightly and asked while knowing

the answer, “What is this?”

“Since you did your best for my maternal grandfather, I bought you a shirt as a token of my

appreciation,” Rachel said as she reached out to take the shopping bag. Then she turned around and

put it into David’s arms.

David’s thin lips curled into a smile. He looked like a refined rascal. “You want to bribe me with just a

shirt, don’t you?”
